de la Mancha releases styrofoam

de la Mancha has announced the release of styrofoam - a lovingly rendered emulation of the classic Rolf Harris endorsed analog synth of yesteryear.

Take a nostalgic stroll in soft-focus, sepia-toned memories, when summers lasted for 16 months and you could still buy Penny Chews for a penny. Bring back the sounds of living room renditions of your favourite hits, in splendid monophonic square-wave glory with this faithful emulation, minus the crappy vibrato, that was, let's face it, crap. But back to that square-wave. It's not just any old square-wave, no, it's not just your bog-standard, ten-a-penny, digital square wave. This, ladies and gentlemen of discerning taste, is THE square-wave, the actual, real-life, carbon-copy, I-can't-believe-a-plugin-can-be-this-analogue square-wave. Once you've tried it, there's no going back to your complex, multi-waveform dreams. THIS is all you need.

The wealth of features and functionality include:

• One waveform, but a mighty fine one.
• No GUI controls at all.
• 4 presets, covering the full range of cleanliness.
• TruANAL technology used to provide authentic pitch variation.

styrofoam is free and is available for Windows as a VST instrument plug-in.
