Simple Concept: Easy-to-Use Synth Plugin by Krotos Free Download

Simple Concept keeps its controls deliberately few. Macro controls let you shape basses, leads, pads and FX without working through deep synthesis parameters. Modulation and effects are adjusted through a streamlined set of controls, so changes are quick to hear.

Tweak It is the main way to move beyond the presets. It creates preset variations from the current sound with a few clicks, which is useful when you want a direction without building a patch from scratch. The oscilloscope reflects the plugin's master output, so you can see how changes affect the signal.

Krotos describes the interface as user-friendly and focused on getting to the music quickly.

Simple Concept suits producers who want fast sound design and a short learning curve. Its 80 presets give a starting point for common roles in a track, and Tweak It helps when you need more variations than the factory set provides.

If you need deeper control over patch building, the developer points to Concept 2 as the full version built on the same synth engine. It adds a modulation system with four multi-mode modulators, along with options such as an Envelope/Pitch Follower and an X/Y Capture pad.

Simple Concept is available as a plugin in VST3, VST2, AU and AAX formats.
