All here.

but I never got Trubia Labs Taramundi as mentioned here;
http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic ... 6#p3106706

Just noticed RANÓN is missing off my A-Z, so thanks for all the info.

(I'm sure I posted this a few minutes ago but it seems to have disappeared ! ? !)

Considering those posts it's weird that I don't have Taramundi... :scared:

If you make it look too easy, some people might begin to think it is.
Thank you.

Has my nostalgia for vintage analogue finally morphed into a nostalgia for vintage VSTs, or can a 12-year-old, ultra-simple, straight-out-of-the-box SE synth like 1936 actually sound as good as I think it does?

Never had it, don't know what it was, can't find any info about it ... anyone?

Rick Jelliffe's site has been down for a year or more, but his plugins are still available through WayBack:
http://web.archive.org/web/201309272359 ... atron.com/
Variously described (by Jellife himself) as 'free', 'donationware' and 'AU $29.95', I guess everyone will have to make up their own minds about their status - though if anyone knows where his current PayPal a/c resides, please share.
The CS-80R is definitely worth $30 - Australian or otherwise. An '80 it ain't, but it's about as CS as anything else in software - and I wouldn't swap it for the reface hardware the Big Y are currently peddling. Be sure to try the Kujashi banks before you tell me I'm wrong! http://www.kvraudio.com/product/cs_80r_ ... fe/details

Bob Bobwood - Thank You for your responses

"Hotel SOAP" - Figured it had something to do with the "free player" mentioned in the KVR description.
I like the look of this one, but at least they ended up creating a plugin based on it, which is highly praised.

"GenieSys" - I had already tried their original site before, but I was not able to download anything due to the fact that they ask for an email address which wouldn't mean anything now that the site is down. Also as you mention, even though they went to being available for free, the ones on the site are shown as pay products. If anyone has gotten the ones I mentioned above when they went free, please share.

Also Bob, nice finds on your above posts regarding your "Marazmator" trail, but my Russian is a little bit rusty (in other words my Google Translate does not seem to work on this page) :)
I was able to get the reverb and the looper by guessing the links , but I was not able to find the
Whistle Midi Player, DeGenerator, SoundExplorer ABCLab you refer to, any hints on where you found the download links?

"AnalogObsession"
Did anyone ever get the these freebies mentioned here before the links went dead?
Preamp Collection
MuVari
OptoComp (There is a pay product that has this same name, not sure if it is a coincidence?)

https://analogobsession.wordpress.com/s ... /freebies/

"B.A. Tech (Bullshit Audio Tech)"
I believe some of these were free and the others went free right before the site shutdown,
(if not then obviously ignore the ones that didn't).
PainChild
Black Golden Pack
Bus (Vu Meter)
TA-2R Tape Saturation
N-Bus
Pig Pack (C-Tech / PigTech / P-ReTech / SamTech)
Bus
Transipunch (This one I know was free)
Tone Of Night (This one I know was free)

Thank You

DeGenerator remains unreleased, sorry for any confusion.
AbcLab; click on 'MEHIO' (for Скачать ABC Lab v1.0)
Sound Explorer; click one 'View page' and then scroll down to Скачать Sound Exploer (1,1 МБ)
Still haven't tried these, do they have English text ?
Whistle MIDI Player post is dated 2 Mar 2014 (the link is right above the image).

Found this hiding in a cubby hole at KVR !

Bullshit Audio Tech, f**king nightmare to follow his stuff, I gave up and stopped bothering.

Here it opens one page that reads "Error". Hope it's only temporary.

Fingers crossed ... Never been quite sure they always have the devs' blessings for hosting their stuff - but would hate to be without it.

As noted elsewhere, HGFortune's site finally disappeared when the domain expired a couple of weeks back.
(Can't believe it's almost a year already since he passed.)
But it's been pretty well archived on WayBack, including links to all the free stuff - which is all but a small handful of the extraordinary instruments he created over a long (yet all too brief) and incomparaby influential career.
His generosity lives on here:
