In reply to MRG. There's also 32 Lives by Sound Radix.

Ah, bridges.
Reaper has one integrated. Sonar had/might still have their BitBridge technology. Cubase used to have one, but Steinberg is literally burning them… and VST2. You maniacs!
jBridge was mentioned. DDMF is doing one called Bridgewize.
Any other?

In reply to synthicide. For some reason, I never purchased jBridge. That's indeed quite silly because I do love a bunch of old 32-bit plugins. Thanks for the reminder, I'll test it in my DAW and purchase it if it works well.

you don’t have Jbridge?!?
I held off going to 64bit because of VOS, so I simply installed Jbridge and it works perfectly.
I still always use VOS plugs on everything.

In reply to MRG. Exactly, some lovely early analog drum sounds in there.

In reply to Pete. Yes, same with the old Variety Of Sound plugins which were among my favorites. I still keep a 32-bit audio editor installed just so that I could use these plugins for rendering.

In reply to Pete.

Check Marvin’s website, the Tromine range was updated a while ago, with new names and sometimes a slightly different sound or controls. So keep the old ones handy!
http://marvin.starfree.jp/en/vst.html GT is now called 8, Z is now 9, etc…

Since it’s an emulation of a Soviet electronic product, is there a control to make it glitch out randomly and only start working again if you hit it? I’m thinking a MIDI note outside its range with velocity greater than 96 would do the trick. :)

(My wife, who’s from the Baltics, used to work for an aerospace company in Los Angeles that employed a number of Soviet-trained engineers. They were very good, but they had to be reminded not to hit things to make them work.)

In reply to MRG. I was so sad when I migrated to a 64-bit Windows 10 machine and discovered that Tromine GT (the 808 emulator) no longer worked in Reaper. (Tromine and Tromine Z still work, however.)

Admit it, you like your drum sound to go Pew, Pff, Pok, Tss and Tschak.
A perfect companion to Hexagon ’85 and the Tromine range from Marvin Pavilion, Tactile Sounds TS-808 or Third Harmonic Studios EXD-80. Which is probably the highest praise in my book.
