Get leadr Today : tuffnerds.net/leadr
In this video i talk about the new synthesizer & Sampler vst im making called LEADR
Leadr works on Mac & Windows. All major DAWS ( Ableton fl studio logic etc.)
and has VST3 & AU Support
Leadr comes with Source library of my Otaku & Nostalgia core oneshot collection aswell as over 200 presets.
The backstory to this is that i was in germany visiting family & couldn´t make music because my ears hurt from djing and producing so much. So i basically sat in my grandparents attic in on C++ Juce & vibecoding & spent countless hours designing the plugin i always dreamed of.
00:00 Intro I built a VST called LEADR
01:00 Overview: synth + sampler in one window
02:25 Texture tab (follow-pitch tuning)
03:46 Craft: build presets like a video game
05:54 Lock effects & quick-save your sounds
07:09 Chaos button
08:29 Craft history & undo
09:37 Import your one-shots
10:09 Tune-to-C & tune lock
11:48 Curate your sound library for crafting
13:57 Lead mode vs Poly mode
14:49 Quick-menu tour: presets, FX & MIDI capture
16:27 Environments, master EQ & filter
17:53 Sampler panel: envelopes, loops & velocity
21:14 Help menu & settings
22:35 Chord Lock: one key = full chords
25:02 Extensions, voicings & strum
26:37 The WATERFALL arpeggiator
29:39 Arp gate, swing, dynamics & bass note
31:00 Export your MIDI
31:33 The philosophy behind LEADR
33:46 Why it's called LEADR: MIDI out & plugin control
36:46 Soundscapes with an army of followers
38:02 Control other plugins with leadr
40:15 Strings + Chord Lock = Zelda mode
43:00 Wrap-up & where to get LEADR
