Kilohearts Ultimate
What Kilohearts Ultimate is
Kilohearts Ultimate is a bundle of audio plugins for macOS and Windows, centered on the Phase Plant modular synthesizer and including hosts, effects, and Kilohearts Essentials. The listed products also include Multipass, Snap Heap, Disperser, Faturator, Convolver, Filter Table, Shaper Table, Carve EQ, and Slice EQ. Phase Plant, Multipass, and Snap Heap use an open modular architecture for building instruments and effects. Included effects can run as regular DAW plugins or be combined and modulated as Snapins in a Snapin Host. The product page says saved presets can be shared even when recipients own different Snapins. Supported plugin hosts are DAWs that support VST2, VST3, AAX, or Audio Unit; a DAW is required. Documented requirements include an x86 64-bit processor with SSE3, with Apple M processors also supported on macOS. The one-time price is 399.00 USD, and a 10-day trial is available. Content Banks are not included, though future additions are available at a discount. Offline installers for Windows and Mac require license keys on the offline computer.
