The Quilcom SIM-THROAT is an effect plugin and the idea is you sing into it and use it to simulate throat singing. It’s far from being convincing or authentic but you might have some fun making noises with it! The zip contains 32 and 64 bit plugins and a 32…
The SIM-HANDPAN is a synth plugin which aims to simulate this modern and remarkable type of instrument, the first one by PANArt being called a Hang. Real well-tuned ones cost over £2000 plus you have to decide in advance what notes you want on it and then wait 2-3 months…
The SIM-CHAU is a synthesiser focussed on simulating a Chau gong, otherwise known as a tam-tam, Chinese or symphonic gong. My SIM-GONG also simulates this type of gong, but my good friend and DSP God Martin Vicanek created an amazing set of 256 bandpass filters which use very little CPU…
The SIM-MIJWIZ is a synthesiser designed to simulate this Arabic wind instrument. It can also be used for Arghul and Sipsi simulation. You can create your own scales and there are a wide range of timbres available. http://flowstoners.com/quilcom
The Quilcom UPVERB is an unusual variation on a regular reverb. Often reverbs have a damping control which reduces the higher frequencies progressively as the tail decays by using a low pass filter in the feedback path. The UPVERB however uses a high pass filter instead so the sound progressively loses the lower frequencies…
The SIM-GONG is a synthesiser plugin designed to make gong-like sounds without using samples. Whilst it may lack great authenticity is has a very flexible engine to cover several types of gong as well as “alternative” sounds. Click on the picture to download the zip which contains 32 and 64…
The SIM-DUNGCHEN is a synthesiser configured to simulate this traditional Tibetan horn instrument. The sound and the way the monks play it may be somewhat unexpected! There are no samples used and the synth design is based on several YouTube videos I watched to try to get as close to…

The inbuilt ALPS effect is also included in the download as an independent FX plugin, the Quilcom SIM-ALPS. Click on the picture to get the zip which contains plugins for 32…
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 Quilcom SIM-DJEMBE is a plugin which attempts to simulate the African djembe drum. Like all my SIM plugins it uses no sample players and relies purely on synthesiser techniques, thus making it possible to influence many characteristics of the timbre and behaviour. http://flowstoners.com/quilcom
The SIM-DIZI aims to synthesise the sound of a Chinese dizi flute which is a transverse blown bamboo flute with a buzzing membrane to create a brighter sound. Like all my SIM series, no samples are used, so you have control of many aspects of the timbre and behaviour. The…
The SIM-MBIRA is a plugin designed to simulate an African Mbira and the westernised version called a Kalimba. As usual with my SIM stuff everything is synthesised and no samples used, so you get to control more aspects of the timbre than with a sample set or Sound font. http://flowstoners.com/quilcom
The Quilcom SIM-GYL is a plugin that aims to synthesise the sound of an African Gyil which is a xylophone with a distinctive buzzing sound caused by membranes stuck onto the resonation gourds. The model, which uses no samples, can be set up for other instrument sounds too, as demonstrated…

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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…

The Quilcom SIM-F aims to simulate a fiddle/violin (same thing) and like my other SIM projects it doesn’t rely on sample clips. http://flowstoners.com/quilcom Quilcom-SIM-W-v1.001Quilcom-SIM-F-v1.004
