Dawesome Music Kontrast full version released

For those of you interested in unique VSTs, especially those with interesting visuals and MPE-ready playability and easy modulations, consider Kontrast by Dawesome Music. Kontrast is a wavetable synth with a very different take on how to modulate the wavetables and represent them on the screen. Kontrast Page

I bought it a couple days after it came out in its full version (was demo only for a bit I think). I have it preloaded in my default template in Live, along with his other VSTs, which I also own, including Myth, Kult, Abyss and Novum, all with MPE-defined modulated parameters set to go, so I can flip back and forth to play them on my Push 3 and Osmose. It is so easy in Peter’s (developer) VSTs to move back and forth between “MPE” for Push 3, which emphasizes x, y and z parameters and “Osmose 2” which emphasizes pressure (not sure what other differences there might be. I mostly though love to look at these beautiful VSTs on my large screen monitor and see his visual representation of what the various MPE modulations are doing to the sound, and the visuals, in real time. So satisfying!

Peter is a cool dude that’s for sure. Enjoy using his stuff as he’s hell bent on not recreating anything 1-1 but making his own way. More power to him.

I did a somewhat comprehensive review of Dawesome Kontrast here:

That’s great. I was surprised to see that there are no tutorial videos for Kontrast linked on Dawesome’s website. The manual is short but pretty good, but I appreciate videos as well.
