Ragnarök is a VST 2.4 software instrument for Microsoft Windows simulating a custom-built one-of-a-kind analog synthesizer from 1980. It is written in native C++ code for high performance and low CPU consumption.

Ragnarök is the collaborative work of Hans Peter aka CrimsonWarlock aka TechnoGremlin (synth concept, GUI design, user manual, patch programming) and Björn aka Full Bucket (DSP+GUI+patch programming). Read more about the background of this project in the user manual and in the respective KVR thread.
The main features of Ragnarök are:

• Unique 3+1 band-limited oscillator bank - up to four oscillators per voice.
• Additional white noise generator.
• Multi-pole filter (6–12–18–24 dB/Oct low-pass or high-pass) with resonance.
• Two envelopes (ADSR or AD) with exponential slopes.
• Low frequency oscillator.
• Built-in Overdrive effect and 7 band graphic equalizer.
• Cool repeat/pseudo arpeggiator functionality.
• Double precision audio processing.
• All parameters can be controlled by MIDI controllers.
• Exchangeable graphics (for individual skinning).
• Plug-in comes in 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
• Fully compatible with SM Pro Audio's V-Machine.

Free VST - 4Front Technologies - 4Front Piano Module VST Plugin

4Front Piano is a small single sound instrument without any settings that reproduces a timbre of an upgright home piano. It is available as VSTi for Windows, and as an AudioUnit, VSTi and RTAS for Mac (see enclosed readme file).

This instrument is small on memory and CPU usage and was found useful by many users and software developers as a plug&play piano module, which does not require any configuration or adjustment.

Though this goes without saying for professional users, I still had a frequent question on how to use this plugin from people, who are not familiar with this technolog. One should note, that to make use of this software a plugin hosting software is necessary, such as Topten Cantabile software. A MIDI keyboard is also preferred, as it is something almost essential to create a computer music these days.

4Front Piano has a big brother 4Front TruePianos, a professional grade virtual piano instrument. It is based on a state of the art of the technology and produces a much improved and cleaner sound.
