PECS – v1.0.2 [16-Feb-2023]

Watch the demo at YouTube:

PECS is a software instrument for Microsoft Windows (VST2/VST3/CLAP) and Apple macOS (VST2/VST3/CLAP/AU) based on the classic KORG PE-2000 Poly-Ensemble S string machine from 1976. It is written in native C++ code for high performance and low CPU consumption. Main features are:

Humble recreation of 8 original presets
Tweakable instrument parameters
Vintage Vibe
Resizable user interface (not "N" version!)
MIDI Learn – all parameters can be controlled by MIDI CC
Plug-in supports Windows and macOS (32 bit and 64 bit)

Special credits go to Kraftraum who did the Beta testing and provided many factory presets!
