Modular Samples Quetzalcoatl v0.8.0 Win Mac [FREE]
Free | Win Mac VST3 AU | 183 MB
Quetzalcoatl is an 8 layer sample playback plugin (VST/AudioUnit) for Mac OS, Windows & Linux (support currently limited to Ubuntu 22+). It performs traditional rompler duties, excelling at pads and evolving textures (or whatever else you fancy), but can also be used for melodic and sequenced material thanks to its comprehensive modulation/sequencing options. In this sense, you can think of it as a kind left-field groovebox.
Quetzalcoatl is inspired by the Aztec deity that shares its name. Quetzalcoatl (known to the Maya as Kukulkan), represents wisdom, art and the wind.
An expanded version with additional sounds and presets is available for a small fee.
Quetzalcoatl is built with HISE, an open source framework for sample based instruments.
