KG SERIES: Free Plugins for Artists Breaking the Barrier of Cost
The KG SERIES is a free plugin project designed to enable all artists to make music without the burden of financial cost.
Whether you're a beginner or a professional, we aim with this project to support creative freedom by removing the barrier of cost, allowing everyone to focus purely on the art of music-making in an equal environment
KG SERIES is a free plugin project designed for all artists engaged in music creation.
One of the biggest challenges faced by many who want to start producing music is cost.
Beginners often hesitate to take their first step because of the high price of professional grade plugins.
Even experienced musicians and engineers can feel the ongoing burden of having to constantly acquire the necessary tools for their work.
We launched the KG SERIES in hopes to rectify this issue founded on the belief that everyone should be able to create music freely,
in an environment of equal access. This project lowers the barriers of entry for beginners and provides professionals with a stress-free creative environment.
Our ultimate goal is to help all creators bring their ideas to life with just their inspiration and intuition without being limited by their financial situation.
The KG SERIES is more than just an initiative to distribute free plugins. It is a movement to preserve the essence of creativity.
Music should be judged by its expressive power, not its cost and this project was developed in hopes to build an environment that makes this possible.
While the project is open to everyone and available for free without restriction, we have also established a support system to encourage ongoing development.
Those who choose to contribute through regular donations will receive exclusive benefits, creating a cooperative ecosystem rather than a simple transactional model.
Through the collaboration between supporters, artists, and developers, the KG SERIES will continue to evolve with regular updates and new experiments.
The KG SERIES is our first step into turning this vision into a reality. So we hope you can join our community in opening doors for more artists to create music freely.
Love the sound of analog but no space on the racks? Check out the KG SERIES.
These products are designed using a proprietary signal processing engine and simulator, developed to precisely replicate the circuitry and component characteristics of real analog audio equipment. By closely analyzing the electrical properties and interactions of individual components such as transistors, diodes, capacitors, and condensers we aimed to reproduce the true behavior of analog circuits as they function in the physical world.
Moreover, by replicating hardware-level logic in a digital environment, we are able to capture the responsive and warm sound unique to analog gear.
By utilizing a node based circuit design approach, we intuitively modeled signal flow, allowing us to faithfully reflect the sonic characteristics established during the circuit design stage of analog audio processing.
