Update history:

2023-05-31 - More than 100 32-bit effect plugins have been replaced by the 64-bit version in VST2 or VST3 format.

2022-12-16 - Major update

All track templates in ReaLibrary now have a preview in .mp3 format. We encourage you to use the Media Explorer to load track templates into Reaper.

As soon as the media browser selects a preview, it will play automatically.

Make sure Tempo Matching is disabled in the Media Explorer, otherwise previews will not play at the correct speed.

If you like the preview, press down arrow to select the track template and press enter to load it into your project.

When a track template is selected in the Media Explorer, press Enter to load the instrument and Ctrl+Z to unload it.

Warning! The download of this library is divided into 7 parts.

When all files are downloaded to your computer, only unzip the first one, named ReaLibrary.part01.rar, with 7-zip software, and all files will be automatically merged and unzipped.

You can download 7-zip here.

Please read the readme.html file carefully, in order to follow the installation procedure

09 - Organs

1. Quilcom - Rank Two

Rank Two is a synthesizer designed specifically to simulate the sound of a row of pipe organs.

A rank is a unique set of similar-sounding tuned pipes assigned to a chromatic scale typically spanning 5 octaves. Usually more than one rank constitutes a "Division" and a Division will be assigned to a manual keyboard, with the ability on a real organ to couple Manuals/Divisions together so that the performer can play multiple ranks and divisions simultaneously.

The Rank Two plugin is intended to have multiple instances in the DAW to give a "mix" to create a fuller sound. However, a single plug-in instance is capable of a wide range of comprehensive sounds, as demonstrated by some of the provided presets. Using extensions is an easy way to create a big sound with fewer instances running in the DAW.

Physical modeling is used for wind/pipe interactions and additive synthesis based on sine waves for the sound itself. These two sound generators interact in terms of amplitude, and the resulting sound was tuned at the design stage to produce results close to the real sets of pipe samples I've auditioned. The Reed section uses one of 15 Reed waveforms, created in my Quilcom Wavemaker 4, to drive a bank of resonant, harmonically tuned filters with very high Q, to give a more defined and controllable spectrum.

2. Lostin70s - HaNon B70

HaNon B70 emulates the famous Hammond B3 drawbar organ coupled with a Leslie 122 rotary speaker.

It is based on the physical emulation of the 91 tone wheels, which run continuously at low CPU cost. This allows for natural keyClicks and simple synthesis at low cost.

The Leslie emulates a tube preamp, a tube power amp and 2 rotors with early reflections in the leslie box.

• 91 permanently active tone wheels.

• Simulation of the tube and drive amplification stage to "crunch" the organ.

• Natural (but adjustable) key clicks.

• Adjustable percussion level, decay and harmonic.

• Adjustable reverberation.

• Chorus and Vibrato.

• L122 frequency response.

• Leslie slow/fast on MIDI controller 1 message.

• 2 channels and two sets of drawbars and a split with MIDI learning for playing with a single keyboard.

• Compatible with 44100, 48000, 88200, 96000, 176400 and 192000 Hz.

16 - Ethnic and World Instruments

1. Quilcom - SIM-DIDGE

SIM-DIDGE is designed to simulate sounds of the Australian aboriginal Yidaki, better known as a didgeridoo, using synthesis methods only, along with optional vocal input.

The SIM-DIDGE aims to provide a subset of some typical sounds, but since the player relies so heavily on vocal techniques I provided a microphone “VOICE” input. This can add your vocalisations which can be lip-gated or direct into the tube for “beat boxing”. To synthesise all possible vocal sounds would be an immense task, calling for a voice synthesiser which would be immensely difficult to create and to program by the user. So I hope you find this more of a fun plugin which can create sounds suggestive of the instrument, rather than a full-fledged all-encompassing emulation.

Another element in traditional and modern Didge music is when the player taps a rhythm, usually on the tube using a piece of wood. The SIM-DIDGE provides for this TAP sound. The synth can generate a wide range of percussive sound ranging from a drum, through a tube strike to tap sticks.
