The groundbreaking sound-design of Eprom is now available as a standalone plugin, and it marks the debut of a new format from Minimal Audio that decouples artist expansions from the full Current synthesizer.Ad 0:00 Click for sound 0:00 / 0:00 Minimal Audio has released ‘Memory Rites‘ in collaboration with the influential electronic music producer, introducing Current Expansion Player, a plugin format that gives producers access to artist-built Current expansions without requiring ownership of the full synthesizer.
Current, Minimal Audio’s flagship synthesizer, has cultivated a following in experimental and bass-forward electronic music.With ‘Memory Rites,’ the brand introduces a new way to access artist-built Current sounds through a streamlined instrument format.
Current Expansion Player breaks the expansion format out into its own standalone plugin priced at $29, and it’s also available to existing Current owners as a $19 preset pack that loads directly into the synthesizer.For the uninitiated: a DAW (digital audio workstation) is the software producers use to make music, and a plugin is a self-contained instrument that runs inside it.
Presets are saved sound configurations that can be loaded instantly, and macros condense dozens of individual controls down to a single knob for expressive real-time performance.The Current Expansion Player lets producers run Eprom’s patches as a standalone plugin, meaning they get the sounds and the controls without needing to own the full Current synthesizer underneath.
Eprom, who is revered in the electronic music production community, contributed 60 hand-designed patches to the collection, spanning 25 basses, 14 leads, 9 pads, 6 keys, and 6 SFX.The preset names and sonic character reflect what his productions are known for, with rhythmic complexity and textures that give compositions depth very difficult to achieve otherwise.
