I didnt test them all, but the denoiser worked fine with fst-1.8 and wine-1.1.4. Ardour crashes while scanning the vst directory for each of the plugins.

Essential Compressor

ok
plugin author: Key to Sound

[EDIT]

THIS PLUG-IN HAS NOW STOPPED WORKING FOR ME! Updates of my system or whatever, I'm not sure as of now? Anyhow does not work now - but used to... :(

[/EDIT]

Works fine with dssi-vst and Wine (1.1.4) running Ubuntu Studio. It does not work in Ardour with FST.

The only flaw is that the analogue-style VU meters don't work. Use your ears... (or plug in the Meterbridge pre & post)

This probably means other Key to Sound products should run ok. I haven't tried yet though.

The Essential Compressor is an extremely versatile and transparent compressor, designed for the discerning engineer who does not want any coloration or character added to the signal. The Essential Compressor lends itself perfectly for instruments ranging from classical instruments to rock bass and drums.

Features:
- 64 bit
- responsive VU level indicator for input and output signal
- A/B preset switching capable of automated setting changes
- MIDI CC learn
- +/- 24db headroom

Phoscyon 1.6 - TB303 Emulator VSTI synth

good
plugin author: d16 Group

I love this TB303 emulator! The sound is awesome (for a softsynth) and the GUI works almost flawlessly under dssi-vst with Wine (1.1.4) running Ubuntu Studio.

There are some "glitches" though:

The internal sequencer does not work (to what I have found) and the arpeggiator doesn't either (turning it on just mutes the sound). This might have something to do with the dssi-vst-wrapper not connecting to any host tempo source. I'm not sure. Otherwise everything seems to work fine. Perhaps you can still get those funky, famous 303 accents going by programming them somehow in your fav midi seq software - but I'm not sure. That said: midi-in works like a charm anyhows.

Another bug is with the ON/OFF button at the Distortion section. Sometimes you have to press it multiple times or tweak the dist parameters a bit to get it working. The on/off LED seems to live a life of its own... Sometimes it's turned off but there is still distortion and sometimes it's the other way around! Well, I can surely live with that.

This is what the developers say about their product:

"Taking the classic analogue sound of the legendary silver box into the future, PHOSCYON offers an unmatched sound together with advanced features such as a state of the art Distortion unit; fully user configurable BPM sync'd Arpeggiator and Randomizer; a unique 'Play Live' mode; vintage arrangement and pattern builder, full MIDI CC support and, to top it off, the most authentic 18db/oct low pass filter ever created!"

 

EWQL Colossus

good
plugin author: EastWest Quantum Leap

Colossus is a General MIDI (GM) compatible 32GB virtual instrument that covers all of the basic musical genres, the way a keyboard workstation attempts to, except Colossus offers much higher quality instruments and dynamics than any keyboard available today.

Colossus includes 15 Gigs of new sounds recorded at Ocean Way Studio B (24-bit), a new 2 Gig piano recorded in Europe, and 15 Gigs from the award-winning range of Quantum Leap and EastWest titles, all newly programmed with superior sound quality due to the features and improved audio quality of the included Native Instruments Kompakt player.

Programming is kept very simple, and programs that utilize the mod-wheel are labeled appropriately. All programs have CC11 as an additional volume control. Many programs utilize auto sample alternation for added realism.

EastWest is also releasing a hardware rack-mount version of Colossus called Colossus Live.

SoundFonts it Milestone

good

Miles'tone is a simulation of a trumpet.
It is based on a mixed use of traditional synthesis
(oscillators, filters) and physical modeling synthesis
(tuned delay lines, resonators), but more importantly it
reflects the behaviour of a real trumpet, reacts to pitch
changes and air pressure in a very natural way, and has a
nice and warm timbre.
