This video, via Elektronick Musick, offers a preview of LaunchCodes, a free virtual instrument for Mac & Windows that’s built for synthesizing explosive hits and basses.

LaunchCodes offers highly automatable wave and noise generators, a fully re-orderable and customizable effects rack, and two LFOs that can modulate nearly anything.

Features:

• Wave generator—with four basic wave types, push the oscillator to its limits with fully automatable amplitude & pitch envelopes and four pitch parameters. Craft punishing basses, psychedelic patterns, or whimsical keys quickly
• Noise generator—low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass modes with adjustable Q and Coarse on the filter envelope give you a wide palette for expressive percussion hits, mysterious sweeps, and screaming noise
• Re-orderable effects rack—a delay unit for creative feedback and foreboding echoes, a reverb unit for huge clouds of fallout, a filter unit for sculpted resonances and bass-boosting, and a fully-editable waveshaper function for your own personal brand of distortion
• Double LFO unit—for maximum expression, modulate almost any parameter in LaunchCodes with the four basic waveforms, and control the modulation range and direction on each parameter individually
• A big red button—a big red button
• Built-in presets to get you going right away, and an easy way to save and browse your favorite patches
