Yellow Tools Independence Free Review


OK, at 15kbps, with frequent time-outs, after 3 days I've managed to get this thing downloaded, installed and working. The verdict? Awesome. Well worth the hassle....
This is a fully featured VST, RTAS, AU and stand-alone sampler, the only limitation is that Audio Import is limited to 25 samples.
Modulation control on this is very powerful, with Step Modulation, LFOs, Envelopes, Note On, Note Off assignment as just a few examples.

Then there's the Arpeggiator, which as well as the usual patterns, allows you to import your own from MIDI files.
Built-in effects include amp, cabinet and even mic modeling, as well as a full array of reverbs, flanges, choruses etc. And if that isn't enough, you can import 3rd party VST plug-ins too!
This is a pretty serious plug-in. The only down side I can see, is the incredibly slow download speed from the Yellow Tools website - over an hour just for the application, not to start on the 2GB free sample banks.
(Any LSS student reading this, go ahead and register for your copy and download the plug-in - come see me for the library!)
