Nerve is giving away VIBRATOR, a monophonic bass synthesizer plugin, completely free of charge.
In this article, we take a look at what VIBRATOR is, its main features, and how to download and install it.
1. What Is Nerve “VIBRATOR”?
VIBRATOR is a monophonic bass synthesizer featuring two oscillators plus a sub oscillator, FM, ring modulation, five filter types, and a 16-step sequencer. It recreates the CEM3320 filter found in vintage classics, including its entire gain chain, and also rebuilds the circuitry of the Moog Taurus I from its schematics. The result is a synth capable of everything from thick, sustained basses to acid lines and even kick drums.

- 16-step sequencer with accent and slide (4 banks, transposable from the keyboard)
