The Quilcom UPVERB is an unusual variation on a regular reverb.

The Quilcom SIM-DUNUN aims to simulate the various sounds of this type of African drum, including the so-called Talking drum. In a traditional setting these drums normally provide a rhythm to be accompanied by one or more djembe players, so this synth is a companion for my Quilcom SIM-DJEMBE. which…

The SIM-MBIRA is a plugin designed to simulate an African Mbira and the westernised version called a Kalimba.

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…
