SodaSynth and Analog Extracts are Now Free

Posted on by

To celebrate 13 years of SodaSynth and as a thank you to our customers over the years, we’re releasing the full versions of SodaSynth and Analog Extracts for free. Although these products will be no longer supported, they are still completely functional and work very well on Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11.

You can download SodaSynth and Analog Extracts for free today from our Downloads page.

SodaSynth is available as a VST 2 synthesizer plugin (32 and 64-bit) for Windows. Analog Extracts is a sample pack of analog modular synth samples (WAVs), and includes a VST 2 sampler plugin to make it easy to drop into a DAW.

Discontinuing Support for Mac

Posted on by

Since we started Oscillicious, we’ve always been keen on making our products cross-platform and available for users on as many desktop platforms as possible. However, due to recent changes in macOS (formerly Mac OS X) and a longer pattern of decisions by Apple, we’ve come to the difficult conclusion that continuing to build and support our software for Mac is beyond our means.

Our current released versions of BeatCleaver, JamDeck, SodaSynth, and Analog Extracts for Mac will continue to be available for download for existing customers. Whether or not they continue working on future versions of macOS is up to Apple. Future updates to all products will be available for Windows only.

We deeply regret the disappointment and inconvenience that this will cause our community on Mac. We’re as disappointed as you are.

If you’ve purchased our products for Mac, your licenses will continue to work on Windows. If you decide to install Windows on your Mac with Bootcamp, or purchase a Windows laptop or PC in the future, you’ll be able to continue enjoying our products.

SodaSynth and Analog Extracts Updated (Windows)

Posted on by

Hot off the heels of the SongStarter beta release, we’ve got new bugfix releases available for both our SodaSynth and Analog Extracts VST plugins on Windows.

SodaSynth 1.1.1 fixes a crash with the plugin GUI in certain VST hosts. This bug was introduced in the 1.1 update, when we did some work to upgrade it to a native 64-bit plugin. This is a recommended update for all Windows users.

Analog Extracts 1.0.1 fixes a bug causing the VST plugin in 32-bit hosts on 64-bit Windows to not make any sound (the samples weren’t being detected correctly).

These updates are available immediately for all registered users, and can be obtained via the link in your registration email or from our downloads page.

SodaSynth 1.1 Released!

Posted on by

Oscillicious is pleased to announce the release of SodaSynth 1.1!

This new update includes 4 new presets (Sleep Walker, Sleep Walker Remix, Squish, and Crystal Strings) and brings full compatibility with 64-bit AU and VST hosts on Windows and Mac OS X 10.6+.

Here’s a new video that starts off with a brief demo of two of the new presets (Sleep Walker and Crystal Strings), and then goes on to show some sound design possibilities by taking Sleep Walker and tweaking a bunch of the knobs.

The SodaSynth VST and AU plugin is also fully compatible with Mac OS X Mountain Lion and Windows 8.

Grab your copy of SodaSynth from the Oscillicious Shop via instant download, or save nearly 20% by purchasing SodaSynth and Analog Extracts together in the Oscillicious Plug-in Bundle!

Existing users can upgrade for free using the download link in their original registration email, or by hitting up our downloads page.

A Word on Mac OS X Mountain Lion Compatibility

Posted on by

Back in March, we released a small update to SodaSynth in advance of Apple’s new Mac OS X 10.8 release, Mountain Lion.

SodaSynth has an installer which is signed so that Gatekeeper identifies it as originating from Oscillicious, and lets it run. This is important because OS X Mountain Lion will only run signed code by default. This new code signing policy will give Apple another tool to help keep OS X safe and secure, and it gives you the assurance that our products are genuine. We’re pleased to offer SodaSynth as one of the first VST and AU plugins that is fully compatible with Mac OS X Mountain Lion.

Additionally, BeatCleaver 1.2 should be compatible with Mountain Lion, as I also made sure it was signed before releasing it back in April. If anyone’s running it on Mountain Lion, please let me know how it’s working for you!

Registered users can snag the latest version of SodaSynth from their original registration email or from our downloads page. Enjoy!

What’s Cooking at Oscillicious?

Posted on by

Though it’s been more than a month since my last update, fear not, I’ve been working on Oscillicious products non-stop.

First off, I’ve managed to produce a version of BeatCleaver 1.2 that’s XP compatible, which needs some beta testing. It’s separate version because it doesn’t have the fancy MP3 / M4A slicing that BeatCleaver has on other versions of Windows and OS X, but it still slices and dices WAV and AIFF files just fine.

Interested?
Download BeatCleaver 1.2 for Windows XP here and try it out! (Leave a comment if it works for you!)

Next, I’ve got a 64-bit version of SodaSynth VST and AU in the pipeline. The Mac OS X is available for testing for registered users (email me!), and I hope to have a 64-bit Windows version available for testing soon too.

Now on to something totally new: We’re working on a pretty funky analog synth sample pack that we’re hoping to share with you by the end of August. As I hope you’ve come to expect from us, this sample pack is going to be a little bit different. We’re going to do this sample pack the Oscillicious way: Fresh.

Lastly, we’ve got one more big product in the pipeline, and I hope to release some more information about it soon. Development is progressing very well so far, and it’s what I’m spending almost all of my time on these days. I’m really excited about it because it’s totally different from anything else out there, and I think it’s going to be a very distilled expression of what Oscillicious is all about – Creating awesome, easy to use tools for musicians. Stay tuned!

Good news for GarageBand and Logic Pro fans – We’re pleased to announce the release of SodaSynth AU!

The SodaSynth Audio Units plug-in brings our clean, classic sounds to a variety of new music production workstations on Mac OS X. SodaSynth can now be used in GarageBand, Logic, MOTU Studio, and other workstations in addition to those that support VST plug-ins (Ableton Live, Cubase, Reaper).

To help GarageBand users get started, we’ve uploaded a short screencast above demonstrating how to add SodaSynth as a new instrument in GarageBand.

SodaSynth is available as an instant download from the Oscillicious shop for only $23.

For existing SodaSynth users, the new AU plug-in is now included in the SodaSynth for Mac OS X download alongside the VST version. The installer conveniently installs both versions, and is available on our downloads page.
