Artillery Vst Free Download
I bought Artillery about a month ago, and I'm still learning a lot about it, and figuring out how I want to use it in my workflow, but so far I can give the following feedback:

Artillery by Sugar Bytes (@KVRAudio Product Listing): Artillery is a MIDI-controlled multi-effect plug-in that comes with 32 effects which can be put to keyboard zones and triggered with MIDI notes. With Artillery you can create unlimited effect combinations and modulate effect parameters with an unlimited number of modulator engines.
-Artillery is very special, because it allows audio FX to be punched in and out with keys on your MIDI keyboard/controller. There are not many VSTs that can do this, and Artillery makes it easy. This is especially useful with Ableton Live, because I can create a separate MIDI track, and record clips of myself playing my Audio FX in a spontaneous and improvised way. It's a lot of fun, and sounds good! There aren't many VSTs that can accept MIDI control from a separate track in Live.
-The Looper and Step Looper FX are fantastic.. I'm still learning mastering them, but they sound great. I like that I can even loop backwards.
-It's designed intelligently, fairly easy to make changes, and there are interesting options for internal modulation sources that I have only begun to scratch the surface. Good auto tune settings in pitcher.
Dislike:
-You can only use the FX that are built into Artillery.. it would be nice if I could load in an audio effect from Ableton Live, or Reaktor - for instance.
-The simple and diffusion delay FX work on some kind of sampled audio buffer, and the buffer keeps a certain amount of audio in it's buffer, even after you use the effect, so it plays old audio when you are triggering it on a new section.. the end result is that it sounds horrible, and I find those FX are nearly useless. I emailed their tech support about it, but no one responded. I get the sense that development for this product may have ceased - it's several years old.
-I have looked through maybe 5 or 6 Global Presets, and I found them to sound very bad, or need a lot of tweaking. I don't understand why they have some of the settings that they do.. for example, their mix settings were all turned down very low, so you couldn't hear any of the FX when they were triggered.. but that's no big deal - I ended up making my own template anyways.
-The EQ's in Artillery don't sounds that great compared to the stock EQ3 modules in Ableton Live. I did some tweaking and I made them sound better, but I think those could be improved.
Conclusion.

It's a great product. There simply aren't many alternatives if you want MIDI-key-controlled punch-in of audio FX. The fact that this VST has been around for many years and is still for sale testifies to it's strength and usefulness, I think. It's already a key element of my current workflow, and it's only becoming more important as I become more fluent with it.

Features:
- Cross-platform VST/AU/AAX: SynthMaster runs as a VST/AAX instrument/effect on both Windows and Mac OS X, and as a VST/AU/AAX instrument/effect on Mac OS X.
- 1100 Factory Presets: SynthMaster comes with 1100 factory presets from a world class team of sound designers: BigTone, Michael Kastrup, Rob Lee, Nori Ubukata, Ufuk Kevser, Gercek Dorman, VorpalSound, BluffMonkey, Ümit ‘Insigna’ Uy, Aiyn Zahev, Frank ‘Xenox’ Neumann, Teoman Pasinlioglu and Brian ‘Xenos’ Lee.
- Semi-Modular Architecture: For each SynthMaster instance, there are 2 layers followed by 2 global effect send buses. Each layer has its own: Arpeggiator, 2 Oscillators, 4 Modulators, 2 Filters, 4 ADSR Envelopes, 2 Multistage Envelopes, 2 2D Envelopes, 2 LFOs and 4 Keyscalers. The modulators can modulate frequency, phase, amplitude or pulse width of the oscillators or any other modulators at audio rate, or they can be used as sub-oscillators.
- Massive Modulation Architecture: SynthMaster has more than 650 modulation targets and 95 modulation sources including ADSR Envelopes, 2D Envelopes, Multistage Envelopes, LFOs, KeyScalers, Easy Parameters, Vocoder Bands, MIDI Velocity, Aftertouch, Pitch Bend and MIDI CC. Each modulation target can have up to 3 modulation sources. The modulation matrix, which has 64 available slots, has visual filtering as well so that targets for a specific source, or sources for a specific target can be filtered and shown on the user interface.
- Easy Parameters: SynthMaster features 8 easy knobs and 2 XY pads that can be freely assigned as modulation sources, so that the complexity of the synth engine could be hidden away and only most important parameters of a preset can be controlled by the user. The easy parameters can be globally linked to MIDI controllers, and they can be assigned automatically by SynthMaster as well.
- Powerful Arpeggiator: The arpeggiator in SynthMaster features classic arpeggiator modes such as Up, Down, UpDown, DownUp, UpDown2, DownUp2, AsPlayed as well as Sequence, Chord and Arpeggiate modes. Each of the 32 steps of the arpeggiator has its own Velocity, Note Number, Note Length, Slide and Hold parameters.
- Basic Oscillators: ‘Basic’ oscillators in SynthMaster are capable of synthesizing many different types of waveforms: Sine, Square, Triangle, Sawtooth, Pulse, Noise, any single cycle waveforms and multi-sampled WAV/AIFFs defined in SFZ files.
- Additive Oscillators: An ‘Additive’ oscillator is actually 8 ‘basic’ oscillators running together. Each ‘basic’ oscillator has its own detune, tone, phase/pulse width, frequency and waveform type.
- Vector Oscillators: A ‘Vector’ oscillator consists of 4 ‘basic’ oscillators, mixed at different ratios. The mix ratios are determined by 2 orthogonal parameters in 2 dimensions: ‘X Index’ and ‘Y index’.
- Wavetable Oscillators: A ‘Wavetable’ oscillator is similar to basic oscillator, except that the waveform can be scanned (interpolated) through up to 16 different waveforms shapes. The position of the waveform can be adjusted using the ‘wave index’ parameter.
- Stereo Oscillators with Improved Unison: Oscillators in SynthMaster have stereo output. With the “voices”, “voices mix”, “pan spread”, “detune spread” and “detune curve” parameters, each basic/wavetable oscillator can have its own unison settings which eliminates the need to enable unison for all voice elements.
- Analog Filters: The ‘analog’ filters are modelled after the famous ladder filter, so they self oscillate when the filter resonance is maxed out. They have continuously variable slope, which is unique to SynthMaster. There are 3 CPU settings for analog filters: “Basic”, “Normal” and “High”. With the “Basic” setting, CPU can be reduced by at least 50%.
- Digital Filters: The ‘digital’ filters are biquad filters with a hard limiter in their output. The limiter features an envelope follower with attack, release and threshold parameters.
- Multimode Filters: With the new ‘multimode’ filter type, it is possible to switch from Lowpass to Bandpass to Highpass filter types continuously. For analog multimode filters, it is also possible to change the slope of the filter continuously from 0 db/oct to 24 db/oct.
- Dual Filters: With the new ‘dual’ filter type, two multimode filters can be run simultaneously, either in parallel, or in series. The mix ratios between the filters, and the topology (parallel/series) between them can be changed continuously, as well as the modes and cutoff frequencies of the filters.
- Comb Filters: Comb filters are digital filters used in physical modeling synthesis.
- Before/Inside/After Filter Distortion: A distortion stage can be inserted before, after, or even inside the filters. For analog filters, the distortion is applied for each of the 4 filter stages in ‘inside’ mode.
- Rich Set of Effects: SynthMaster features 11 different effect types: Distortion, LoFi, Ensemble, Phaser, 6 Band EQ, Compressor, Vocoder, Delay, Chorus, Tremolo, Reverb.
- Flexible Effects Routing: Each of the 11 effect types can be inserted on any layer insert or on any of the 2 global effect bus inserts.
- Microtuning: SynthMaster supports Scala tuning, so tuning can be set either for each preset or globally by loading from a Scala tuning file.
- Preset Browser: SynthMaster features a comprehensive preset browser with separate search criteria for instrument type, preset attributes, music style or preset author.
- Online Preset Browser: Registered users can upload their presets to the online preset library, or browse and download presets created by other registered users; using the preset browser right inside the plug-in window.
- Multiple Skins: SynthMaster comes with 3 different skins in different color variations. Using the included user interface editor, users can not only customize the existing skins but also can create their own custom interfaces as well.
- Import of MIDI patterns as Arpeggiator Sequence: Monophonic or even polyphonic (chord) MIDI patterns can be imported into the arpeggiators in SynthMaster by just drag and drop of the MIDI file onto the arpeggiator view on the plug-in window.
- Import of WAV/AIFF Multisamples as SFZ definitions: Multisamples in WAV/AIFF formats could be imported into SynthMaster as SFZ definitions, by simply drag and drop of the WAV/AIFF files onto the oscillator waveform view on the plug-in window.
