Quiet Music Expands its Free Plugin Lineup with DreamWaves Lite
Continuing its tradition of offering free versions of their virtual instruments, Quiet Music has unveiled DreamWaves Lite, a streamlined take on their latest electric piano-style plugin, DreamWaves.
While DreamWaves boasts an impressive 71 presets, DreamWaves Lite provides a curated selection of 7 diverse sounds, ranging from classic electric piano tones to more experimental, textured patches. Despite its compact nature, DreamWaves Lite retains the same user-friendly interface and flexible controls as its full-fledged counterpart.
The included presets are:
- Asfreda – Crunchy keys with tremolo and lush reverb
- Dynamic Lane – Pristine Fender Rhodes emulation
- Epianic – Distorted and washy with subtle chorus
- Evolvnt – Pad-like atmospherics without distortion
- Harmonic Hues – Sparkling electric piano tone
- Klonech – Synthetic, metallic texture with choral undertones
- Swooshtik – Classic electric piano with a “firework” layer
Beneath the hood, DreamWaves Lite offers a comprehensive set of sound-sculpting tools, including ADSR envelopes, LFO modulation, filters, and a suite of effects like distortion, reverb, chorus, and ping-pong delay. This level of tweakability ensures that users can craft unique variations on the included presets.
Compatible with VST2, VST3, and AU formats on 64-bit Windows and MacOS systems, DreamWaves Lite is an enticing option for producers seeking vintage and modern electric piano flavors across genres like ambient, chillout, downtempo, lo-fi, and hip-hop.
You can download DreamWaves Lite for free (340MB download size).
