IronAxe is a high-end Physical Modeling simulation of one of the most popular and loved electro-acoustic instrument: the Electric Guitar. The result of two years of research and development
IronAxe simulates the physics of all the acoustic and electronic components found in the original instrument
preserving the same nuances and multi-techniques playability impossible to perform on standard frozen-sounding sampled instruments. The main goal of this kind of approach adopted by Xhun Audio is to break with the past - forgetting all the old
expensive
bulky sample libraries to embrace a new generation of alive
expressive
physical modeled instruments. With IronAxe you can build your custom Electric Guitar
choose Pickups type
number and position
set the Tone knobs to get the right sound
select the Plectrum hardness or pluck a String with fingers at any point along its length. And finally take real-time control of all this (and much more...) using a MIDI Keyboard or a real - natively supported - MIDI Guitar. And the included full set of analogue modeled Stompboxes
legendary Amp/Cabinets and Room Simulation
make IronAxe an advanced tool for guitar sound designing
without the need of additional and external software/hardware units. REQUIREMENTS:
- Windows 32-bit : VST2
LittleOne:
LittleOne by Xhun Audio is a faithful software emulation of one of the most legendary and appreciated hardware analog synthesizers. In addition to the whole signal path simulation
every single component inside LittleOne (oscillators
filter
envelopes
LFO ...) features the original frequency responses and ranges of the hardware counterpart
producing a deep
rich and warm sound. Add to the equation a full rack with a 16-step MIDI sequencer
a 16-step trancegate effect
and two master effects slots and the result is a complete analogue-sounding instrument - all in the digital domain. REQUIREMENTS:
- Windows 32-bit : VST2
VST3
- Windows 64-bit : VST2

- macOS 64-bit : VST2

ResonHeart:
ResonHeart is the physical modeling simulation of a never seen before
experimental
aerophone-based acoustic instrument. Characterized by a complex model-based architecture
this original machine has expressly been built to mimic the sound of different families of acoustic instruments - like winds
membranes
chromatic percussions
ethnic lutes and whistles
glasses
cymbals
and crashes
vocal ensembles
and choirs
or even an entire orchestral strings section - as well as to produce very unconventional
organic tones
evolving textures
and expressive motion pads. Working on the principles of fluid dynamics and designed to potentially be a real-world replicable machine
every single component inside ResonHeart has been modeled after existing hardware - commercially available devices like air pumps
pneumatic valves
and metal resonators. Also
the surrounding room acoustics has been carefully modeled
simulating a wide range of spatial environments
from small chambers to big concert halls
to stone-walled cathedrals and beyond. Moreover
ResonHeart features a clean and intuitive interface
making the sound designing process just simple and effective. REQUIREMENTS:

Zerobox:
ZeroBox is an accurate analogue modeling simulation of a legendary
iconic
sequencer-driven bassline synthesizer that defined an era.
In addition to a meticulous replica of both the signal path and the physics of each of the electronic components found inside the original device (oscillator
filters
envelopes
etc.)
an extended set of features
improvements and circuit-bents have been added
bringing the whole synthesis engine a step ahead.
Last but not least
a redesigned sequencer front-end and the inclusion of a full set of modulation
analogue saturation and multi-type distortion effects units make ZeroBox an expressive
powerful
self-contained tool for use in any electronic music scenario.
