KINGSHROOM VST is a dark, hybrid instrument by flextrik: a one-shot sampler, a synthesizer and a wavetable engine in one plugin, with 341 built-in sounds, four oscillators, a 14-module effects rack and a GROSS BEAT engine for time and volume curves. It was built for trap, rage and plugg, and it is made by @flextrik and @gpz1veteran.
A hybrid sampler, synth and wavetable engine
Most plugins pick one job. KINGSHROOM VST does three. Load one of the 341 factory one-shots, play a synth voice from its four oscillators, or run a wavetable, and layer them together. Every page shares the same dark, chain-and-mushroom interface, so moving between the sampler, the synth and the effects stays fast.
A browser built for one-shots
The BROWSER is where the 341 sounds live. Search by name, author, description or tags, filter by category (one-shots, melodic one-shots, wavetables, factory banks, leads, bass, plucks, textures and more), star your favourites, and see a big waveform with the full metadata of every sound. Click to preview, or drag a one-shot straight into FL Studio or any DAW as a WAV file.
Oscillators and modulation
The synth side runs four oscillators with FM, phase modulation, hard sync, ring modulation, a sub and a noise source. The MOD page gives you two multimode filters, four AHDSR envelopes and four LFOs, wired together through a 16-slot modulation matrix with 14 sources and 24 destinations, so almost anything can move almost anything else.
FUSION: blend four sources
FUSION lets you blend four sources, A, B, C and D, from oscillators, samples and the sample library, and crossfade between them in real time. Set each one's level and pitch, pick a blend mode, and move the crossfader (an amanita, of course) to morph from one sound into another.
GROSS BEAT: time and volume curves
A built-in GROSS BEAT engine draws 16-step time and volume curves over the sound: stutter, half-time, reverse, tape stop, gate and the classic bounce, with host sync and a blend control. Pick a pattern, or draw your own curve and export it.
A 14-module FX rack
The FX rack chains 14 modules you can drag to reorder: distortion, saturation, bitcrusher, chorus, delay, reverb, stereo width, EQ, phaser, flanger, filter, compressor, transient shaper and limiter. The signal runs from the first slot to the last, and you can move any module by dragging it onto another slot.
The SAMPLER and exporting sounds
The SAMPLER shows the waveform with draggable start, end and loop points and its own AHDSR envelope, so you can carve a one-shot into a playable instrument. When you have built something you like, the EXPORT page bounces your one-shots out to WAV, AIFF or FLAC.
Make it yours: 12 themes and a reactive UI
The whole plugin is audio-reactive, pulsing with the sound, and SETTINGS gives you 12 colour themes (BLOOD, EMBER, GOLD, TOXIC, MOSS, VENOM, FROST, ABYSS, VIOLET, ORCHID, ROSE and BONE) plus a custom colour picker, a window-size control and an on-screen piano.
