The Instruments
At Born Second we use real reference hardware and model all of our instruments in-studio with analog equipment. Our interfaces are hand designed pixel-by-pixel because we are control freaks about every aspect of these instruments. We don't release anything we don't use ourselves. At $25 each these are the best quality plug-ins you will find at any price. No subscriptions, no dongles, no malarkey.
Chucho-16 · chord synth NEW
Six voices measured from a real Juno-106, wired to a chord machine: one note in, an arranged chord out. Per-key chord memory, arpeggiator, strumplate, honest MIDI out.
BS-203 MacroAcidizer · acid synth
Two early-'80s bassline computers modeled at component level, plus a freaky third mode - and the Acid Brain, a scale-aware sequencer that writes the line for you.
Squimpler · advanced sampler
475 handmade presets and a character sampler: seven lovingly modelled effects, auto-tune, auto-loop, auto-level - and an ∞ button that sustains any sound forever, in tune.
