Paralogy

free Crumar Trilogy/Stratus–style paraphonic instrument (Win/macOS)

Price: Free • Version: 1.0.1 (14 Jan 2026)
Formats: VST2 / VST3 / AU / CLAP / AAXOS: Windows & macOS (Universal Binary 2; 32- & 64-bit builds available)

Paralogy is a fast, native-C++ emulation of those early-’80s Italian hybrids—organ + string machine + analog synth—wrapped into one paraphonic troublemaker. The dev calls it “fully ‘polyphonic’ paraphonic madness,” which is perfect: you can play many notes at once, but they share parts of the signal path (e.g., filter/envelope), giving that unmistakable swell-and-smear you don’t get from modern polys.


Feature highlights

  • Close hardware simulation of the classic Trilogy/Stratus architecture.

  • 3 sections on tap: Organ, Synthesizer, Strings—layer or use individually.

  • Paraphonic behavior for authentic envelope/filter “pump” across chords.

  • Built-in FX: Phaser for string-machine swirl + Delay for instant space.

  • MIDI Learn on every parameter (map your controller in seconds).

  • Resizable UI (clarity on big or small screens).

  • Low CPU thanks to native C++ (great for big pads and live sets).

  • Legacy builds: separate “.N” non-resizable versions for older systems.


Why you’ll want it

  • Instant Italo-cinema pads: organ + strings + phaser = VHS haze for days.

  • Characterful chords: paraphony adds that collective “whoosh” as the filter re-triggers.

  • One-plugin nostalgia stack: from lush Solina-ish layers to buzzy leads without extra FX.


Quick-start presets (build your own in 60 seconds)

  1. String Swell: Strings on, Phaser slow, Synth off, Organ faint underlay; filter slightly closed; Delay ~15–20%.

  2. Paraphonic Brass: Synth on with medium resonance, envelope short attack/decay; add Organ for body; no Phaser; Delay short slap.

  3. Cathedral Tape: Strings + Organ, Phaser medium; Delay longer (3/8), feedback low; roll off highs for vintage dust.


Tips for best results

  • Lean into paraphony: hold a chord and play lines over it—listen to the filter respond globally.

  • Stack sections: small amounts of Organ can add midrange glue behind Strings or Synth.

  • Keep FX modest: the internal Phaser/Delay are voiced to complement the engine—start subtle, then push.


Downloads

  • Windows:

    • CLAP (ZIP) • VST2/VST3 (ZIP) • AAX (ZIP) • VST2 .N for older Windows

(Installers are signed as PKG on Mac; Windows come as ZIPs—drop the plugin files in your usual folders and rescan your DAW.)


If you want string-machine shimmer, organ bite, and paraphonic filter whoosh in one free plugin, Paralogy nails the vibe—and won’t torch your CPU.
