Doobie Powell’s Peculiar Sounds V2 VST/AU/AAX Plugin

Peculiar Sounds V2 VST — A Real Musician’s Instrument

Peculiar Sounds V2 VST by Doobie Powell is the gospel keyboard plugin serious producers and live performers keep coming back to. It’s built around his personal sound catalog — the same Rhodes patches, synth tones, and drum sounds he’s used in professional gospel and R&B settings for years. We carry it here at ReverBay because it solves a problem most church keyboard VST plugins simply don’t: it sounds like someone who actually plays made it. So if you produce gospel, R&B, neo-soul, or contemporary Christian music, this VST/AU/AAX plugin belongs in your rig.

What Makes Peculiar Sounds V2 Worth Your Money?

About Doobie Powell

Doobie Powell is a professional keyboardist, producer, and music clinician. He’s toured with major artists and led sessions for internationally released records. Over the years, he’s built a reputation as one of the most respected keyboard voices in gospel production. Peculiar Sounds V2, then, isn’t a licensing deal or a branded sample pack. Instead, it’s him pulling what he actually plays out of his working rig and engineering it for other musicians. That background matters when you’re deciding whether to spend money on a virtual instrument.

Built From a Real Catalog, Not a Generic Library

Most virtual instruments hand you a library designed by a session engineer for a hypothetical producer. Peculiar Sounds V2, however, takes a completely different approach. Doobie Powell built it in direct collaboration with Gospel Producers, drawing sounds straight from his own working catalog. For instance, the Rhodes patches are ones he’s played on real stages. The synth tones came from actual studio sessions. He tuned the drums specifically for the genres he knows from the inside. As a result, you’re not getting a preset bank assembled by committee. You’re getting a working musician’s instrument, built the way gospel keyboard players actually think about sound.

How It Performs in a Real Session

We tested Peculiar Sounds V2 in FL Studio 25 on Windows 11 and in Logic Pro on an M2 MacBook Pro. First, patch loading is near-instant — no waiting, no latency spike when switching sounds mid-session. Beyond that, the Rhodes patches sit in a mix without heavy EQ treatment. They occupy the midrange naturally and leave space for bass and vocals. Meanwhile, standalone mode launched clean each time. It recognised our MIDI controller immediately and held stable across a two-hour session without a dropout. For church keyboard players especially, that kind of reliability matters just as much as the sounds themselves.

Peculiar Sounds V2 VST: Full Feature Breakdown

Standalone Mode for Live Performance

Not every gig starts with an open laptop and a loaded DAW session. That’s why standalone mode lets you run the plugin directly — no host application required. For gospel keyboardists and live performers, this removes an entire layer of potential failure from your setup. Simply load your patches, connect your controller, and you’re ready to play. It’s one less thing that can go wrong on stage.

Two-Patch Layering

Stack two patches simultaneously to build richer, more textured sounds. For example, blend a warm Rhodes underneath a soft pad for a Sunday service vibe. Or layer a bass synth with a pluck tone for a contemporary R&B feel. The layering engine is easy to navigate, and the results sit cleanly in a mix. The two sounds don’t crowd each other for frequency space. That matters more than people realise when you’re mixing for a full band.

Built-In MIDI Browser

A drag-and-drop MIDI library lives inside the plugin itself — chord progressions, melodic loops, and drum patterns you pull directly into your DAW session. So when you’re stuck on an intro, that resource is already there. Furthermore, it works across FL Studio, Logic Pro, Ableton, Cubase, Pro Tools, and Studio One. No extra setup required.

Lowfizer & Mod Filter FX

Two onboard effects that do real work. The Lowfizer adds lo-fi character with tape warmth and a slight frequency roll-off. That worn, analog texture is genuinely difficult to replicate with a standard EQ plugin. The Mod Filter, on the other hand, introduces movement into static patches. Think sweeps, rhythmic pulses, and evolving filter shapes that add life to sustained chords and pad sounds. Both effects are restrained enough to sit on nearly any patch without overstepping.

Arpeggiator

Clean, responsive, and musical. You can build melodic runs, rhythmic patterns, and moving basslines without touching a piano roll. Lock in a pattern, then audition different patches underneath it. That’s one of the fastest ways to find direction in a new track. For instance, run it over a gospel piano patch for a quick worship sequence. Or push a synth pad through it for a neo-soul intro that comes together in minutes.

Free Bonus: Sounds Off The Block Expansion Pack

Every copy of the Peculiar Sounds V2 gospel keyboard VST ships with the Sounds Off The Block Expansion. That’s over 400 additional patches Doobie Powell and his team put together for performance and studio production. These aren’t filler sounds you’ll open once and ignore. In fact, they cover R&B keys, gospel pads, neo-soul leads, cinematic textures, and contemporary drum patches. All of them meet the same standard as the main library. You can also pick up the standalone Sounds Off The Block Peculiar Expansions pack separately if you want the full collection.

Trusted by Professional Gospel & R&B Musicians

Producers and keyboardists including Jamel Kimbrough, Kenny Leonard, Warren Brown, Stephon Goodwin, and Kevin Powell have used this plugin in active professional settings. These are working musicians with real touring and recording credits — not endorsement deals. They keep Peculiar Sounds V2 in their setup because the sounds hold up under pressure. On stage, in sessions, and on commercial releases. When musicians at that level keep reaching for the same tool year after year, that’s a real signal about what it delivers.

Already Own V1? Here’s What Changed

If you have the original Doobie Powell’s Peculiar Sounds V1, V2 is not a maintenance update. It’s a substantially expanded instrument. The sound library is larger, the full Sounds Off The Block content is included at no extra cost, and the two-patch layering engine is improved. Moreover, the built-in MIDI browser didn’t exist in the first release at all. The two plugins complement each other well. So if you want the broadest range of Doobie Powell sounds in one setup, keeping both makes sense.
