The Quilcom SIM-KZ is a Kazoo simulating effect plugin designed to be used with a microphone input to process your humming voice. If you want to learn more about this truly remarkable instrument and its history have a look in the background folder. Click on the picture to download the zip file which includes 32 and 64 bit plugins, the FlowStone schematic and the User Guide. If you get a copy of FlowStone you can examine the schematic and use whatever modules you want in your own designs. The schematic isn’t needed for the plugins to work.

The Quilcom SIM-DIDGE aims to simulate some of the sounds of a Didgeridoo using synthesis methods only, along with optional vocal input.

Click on the picture to download the zip which contains the FlowStone schematic (not needed for the plugins to work), 32 and 64 bit plugins (including 32 bit for XP), the User Guide and background info. The “NA” plugins (exported as instruments) don’t have the audio input for microphone if you don’t need it.

You can watch the YouTube video here to get more idea:

Now you can create some ethnic Aboriginal rhythms and atmospheres without having to master circular breathing!

The Quilcom SIM-WINDHARP is an effect plugin which actually generates the sound of Aeolian harps, together with wind and tree rustling sounds which can be mixed as appropriate.

It’s seen as an effect plugin, but the only inputs are for sidechain control of the wind speed. You can record the output in a DAW, but to hear the recording you may have to bypass the effect or turn it off in the DAW first.

The zip (click on the picture) contains 32 and 64 bit plugins and a 32 bit plugin for Windows XP. Also I provided a stand-alone version in case you just want the sound as a background. There’s a user guide and the FlowStone FSM schematic which isn’t needed for the plugins to run, but there if you have FlowStone and wish to look under the hood.

I hope you don’t think this really “blows”!

The Quilcom SIM-SHENG is a plugin designed to simulate this ancient class of Chinese mouth organs.

Click on the picture to download the zip which contains 32 and 64 bit plugins and a 32 bit plugin for Windows XP. Also included is a Background info folder so you can learn about the instrument, and a User guide for the plugin.

I always include the fsm file for my plugins which isn’t needed for the plugins to work but is there if you want to download FlowStone and look at the workings and maybe modify it, or use bits and pieces for your own projects.

Have fun!

A Carnyx is an ancient Iron Age Celtic war horn used to intimidate the enemy in pitched battles, and it’s not very “musical”. It is, however, fascinating… to me anyway!

There’s lots of info in the Background info folder and User Guide if you would like to know more.

The download includes 32 and 64 bit plugins and XP compatible ones, with and without audio input.

Also you get the FlowStone schematics (not needed for the plugins to work). This means that if you buy FlowStone you can open, examine and alter them as you wish.

Click on the picture to download it, load it up and open all your windows and have fun really upsetting your neighbours!

The Quilcom Mystery synthesiser was designed to explore a specific type of technique whereby an additive synth (with sub) can have the amplitude of each partial modulated by its own independent polyphonic LFO. Many settings can be randomised manually or via a trigger generator, and there are two identical sound generators for nice stereo effects and a fuller sound.

The technique seems to be most useful for pad and soundscape making, so that’s what the presets focus on.

Try it on headphones, and I hope you like it!

The Quilcom SIM-HG is a synth designed to simulate the sound of Hurdy Gurdies without using samples. There’s no such thing as a “standard” Hurdy Gurdy so the SIM-HG can create a wide range of sounds.

Click on the picture to download the zip which contains 32 and 64 bit plugins (including one which should work in Windows XP), the FlowStone schematic (not needed for the plugins to work), a User Guide and background information.

Get it!

The Quilcom SIM-BP is a synth designed to simulate the sound of many different types of bagpipe.

It uses no samples, just synthesis methods. This means that while it may not sound as authentic as real sample sets you do have fine control over the timbre and behaviour of this class of capped reed instruments.

Click on the image for the download.

The download includes the FlowStone schematic (not needed for the plugins to work), 32 and 64 bit plugins and a plugin which should work in windows XP. Also there is a folder containing background info, and a User Guide which goes into detail about the operation and methods used.

Have fun!

The Quilcom SIM-W is synth designed to simulate the Tin Whistle. It uses no samples and relies on synthesiser techniques only. Since it’s a synthesiser, the range of timbres available is considerably wider than sample sets. And it’s free!

Click on the picture to get the zip which contains 32 and 64 bit plugins and a 32 bit plugin for Windows XP users. There’s background info, a user Guide which I recommend reading and the FlowStone schematic (which isn’t needed for the plugins to work).

Have fun!
