ReKon audio has just announced that Moog Music has chosen them to develop a VST editor for the Little Phatty analog synthesizer. The new addition to the Moog product line will bring complete control inside a VST host to the Moog Little Phatty user-base. The new editor will be able to both save and recall preset sound patches and banks in both the VST (.fxb/.fxp) and native System Exclusive (.syx) formats.

VST Little Phatty Editor features :

- View and edit every available parameter in one view
- Automate and shape patches along with the music... in the DAW
- Intuitive user interface that emulates the real gear's appearance
- Save and recall patches in .FXB/.FXP and .SYX formats
- Available as a VST 2.4 plug-in for Mac OSX and Windows PC

Moog Music plans to release the VST Little Phatty Editor in Early Spring 2009.

Softube has just released the FET Compressor plug-in.

When creating FET Compressor, Softube set out to make the most accurate emulation of the most famous solid state compressor, and very much effort has been spent modeling the real hardware to make sure that the emulation sounds exactly the same.

Nothing must stand in the way of the sound. Every single part of the simulation contributes to making this piece unique. The extremely fast attack, all the subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) distortion that comes from the different parts of the compressor and the extremely careful way the signal is handled and conditioned throughout the signal chain.

On top of that they have added some useful features that still have that analog sound - but features that would've been hard or even impossible to implement with analog electronics, such as the continuous ratio, parallel compression, detector filtering and lookahead. That way you will be able to get the best of two worlds.

Available for both native VST, AU, RTAS as well as the DSP-based TDM and VENUE formats, FET Compressor is priced at $279 for the native version and $429 for the TDM/VENUE version (excl. VAT). Note that a fully functional 10 day demo is also available.
