Seven plug-ins free with Novation Sound Collective Holiday Bundle

Novation gifts Sound Collective members seven superb plug-ins by iZotope, KV331 Audio, D16 Group, Puremagnetik and Tracktion Software 

From 21st November 2019 to 6th February 2020, members of Novation’s Sound Collective community can download iZotope Trash 2, KV331 Audio SynthMaster Player, D16 Group Nithonat, Puremagnetik Lo-Fi Ambient Tools and Tracktion Software BioTek for free. 

One of the most powerful sound-mangling plug-ins ever made, iZotope’s Trash 2 is a dual-stage multiband distortion effect with over 60 diverse distortion and saturation algorithms, an editable graphic waveshaper, two filters, a convolution processor, multiband compression and gating, and a delay module. 

Running the full Synthmaster engine under the hood, KV331 Audio SynthMaster Player features 1800 macro-controlled factory presets powered by multiple synthesis techniques and taking in everything from basses, leads and keys, to pads, arps and FX. 

D16 Group’s Nithonat, meanwhile, is a flawless emulation of Roland‘s classic TR-606 drum machine, expanding on the original silver box with an array of extra controls and improved step sequencing. 

Puremagnetik’s Lo-Fi Ambient Tools is a plug-in triple-header, comprising the Verv ‘sun-baked’ string synth, Pastfabric granular and tape splicing-style audio deconstruction effect, and Fathoms ambience- and drone-generator. 

And finally, Tracktion Software’s BioTek brings together an innovative synthesis engine and a library of sampled natural, urban and mechanical sounds in a macro-driven plug-in instrument like no other. Whether you choose to keep it simple or go deep, BioTek’s esoteric sounds and empowering workflow make it a sound designer’s dream synth.
