Blaster Plus
A downloadable plugin for Windows and macOS
Blaster Plus is a plugin for making a decent happy hardcore off-beat bass as fast as possible. It has one sub oscillator that can morph between a saw and a square wave, and a main oscillator with up to 3 voices that can be detuned, PWM-ed, and/or sent through a lowpass filter with an envelope. The whole thing then goes through a simple drive control for distortion, and then a filter to remove high frequency buzzing.
The phase of the note played is consistent every time, so you don't need to worry about resampling to keep the phase consistent, and you can control the phase offset so that it fits in with your kick.
Upgraded to Blaster Plus

now has an improved sound engine, new filter section, chorus controls, and distortion you might actually want to use.
reskinning now supported, to make your blaster your own!

Also now supports your DAW's native context menu, so you can right click any of the knobs to use the built in DAW functions!
Blaster Plus is free and open source software. You can find the source code here: https://codeberg.org/yeendigital/Blaster_Plus
The source code for the original version is still around too, and is here: https://codeberg.org/yeendigital/Blaster
