-= FREE VST Plugins Thread =-

well what can i say. this thread jsut saved my ass. Ive had a massive hard drive failure. Lost 40gig of music, software and sessions. very annoying, but thanks to this thread at least i get most of my free plugs back

thanks everyone, especially the don

*back up back up back up*

This one is a Christmas freebie by Benedict Roff-Marsh & will be avaiable only untill December 31, 2006:

Meter Bridge is a simple copy of the meter bridges that you found on older high-end recording desks like Neve's etc. They were really useful and looked great.
This VST is best suited for modular environments like Energy XT or Bidule etc so you can plug in all the lights at once. The other caveat is that the gift will only be available during the month of December 2006. After that Meter Bridge 2006 will be withdrawn and cease to exist (except on your machine). Have a safe and Happy Christmas and New Year and some of the flashing lights are on me.

kitchen sync is a tempo synced LFO that modulates 4 functions
- filter
- flanger
- volume
- panning

The LFO is highly configurable, you can change the waveform, the cycle length in beats, the amplitude and the y offset


You can link any/all of the filter cutoff, flanger amount, volume and panning to the LFO to give a variety of tempo synced effects to your audio

http://www.delamancha.co.uk/images/plugins/moot2.gif

moot is a flexible audio mute plugin with a number of additional features. The aim is to have a mute switch (Hit Me) that can be assigned to a single midi controller key and act in 3 ways
- as a latch (one press mute, release stays muted, next press unmute, release stays unmuted)
- in unmute mode (hold down to mute, release to play audio)
- in mute mode (hold down to play audio, release to mute)

In addition there is an audio gate to chop the audio and an independant ping-pong to alternate the audio between left and right channels.

subhuman is a simple 2 Osc monosynth for creating low down and dirty sub bass

It's the big brother of subfreak, adding a few more knobs to twiddle and an updated look

Just play your notes a couple of octaves below middle C for that deep subby hum change the waveform of Osc 2 to add a little grit

http://www.delamancha.co.uk/images/plugins/basic.gif

basic is what it says on the tin

It's a limited feature synth, with 3 oscillators fixed at pulse, saw and triangle respectively. It is loosely based around the SID chip famous for that Commodore 64 sound, although basic is not even as featured as that.


It is deliberately basic, partly to get that old tech, lo-fi, 8 bit, computer game sound, partly to challenge you to get some interesting sounds out of a less-than-vanilla synth, mostly 'cos I'm a simple guy.

subfreak is a very simple 2 Osc synth for creating low down and dirty sub bass

It's designed for those who don't want or need lots of controls, hence only 3 things to change

Just play your notes a couple of octaves below middle C for that deep subby hum change the waveform of Osc 2 to add a little grit

Flux Interrupter

My first VST! It's a simple glitchy modulated delay with a built in LP filter. I built it to obtain a certain sound for my own use, but maybe you'll find some use for this plug. Throw some beats (or whatever your fancy) through it and have some fun. Sixteen presets are included to get you started.

What would happen if...

You took a Comb Filter, used it to split the frequency of incoming source material into four channels. Then took those channels and mutilated them using a variety of individual FX... then recombined said molested channels into one single sound again?

A hell of a fun mess, that's what.

NUCLEAR CRANIUM splits the incoming audio channel into; HI, LOW, MID, and ELSE frequencies. Next, PITCHSHIFTING, BITCRUSHING, WAVESHAPING, "CRUNCH", BITCRUSH, "PSYCHODELAY", and AUTOPAN FX, can all be used individually on each of the four frequencies. Lastly, nearly every single NUCLEAR CRANIUM parameter has its own internal completely configurable LFO.

You can literally, seriously, not kiddingly, make something completely new and insane, even out of your oldest most boringest loops. No hyperbole there, promise. Why would I bother to lie about this anyway?

This audio abomination is 100% free, afterall.

Plucked string based on new comb filter design with advanced controls and filtering to create a more natural tone. String Thing 2 uses an impulse, Resonator and Resonant Body model similar to ‘Super String Thing’ but specifically tailored to recreating the sounds of acoustic plucked strings. Features include:

* basic ‘plucking’ control
* string damping
* various impulse filter modes
* variable bandwidth filter
* new 2D control for impulse
* full control over resonant body dimensions and resonance
* LFO for vibrato, tremolo and chorus
* modulation (MIDI CC)
* can recreate a more natural range of acoustic plucked string timbres
* shiny new interface design

reasonable CPU load.

SR SIMPLE.SCAPE.VST FREE

A brutally simple filter insert FX, with a morph function and flange section inspired by the z-scape line of filters. Future plans for this VST filter engine include a larger scale device similar to a full VSTi of z-scape [of reaktor fame].

there are mousover hints for each control. there is midi learn for hardware control of all onscreen elements.

Guitar Controlled Bass Synth v4.0

* Designed as a bass synth, can also be used for many different synth and percussion sounds.
* Phase distortion oscillator, two wave selectors with eight waveforms each and modulation depth. Sub, bass and normal octaves. The envelope switch in the oscillator sends the filter envelope to the oscillator depth control.
* Can be altered by one of sixteen different preset waveshapers.
* A seperate sub osc can be set equal to or one octave lower than the main oscillator and can enter the signal chain pre or post filter.
* Two filters: Moog type and Low pass. Variable envelope amount with controls for attack, decay and sustain. Velocity control affects the filter cutoff and controls the oscillator depth.
* Now includes a Compressor.
* Now includes a switchable 3 band equalizer.
* Amp section with control of attack, decay and sustain. Velocity control affects the output level.
* Audio trigger section consists of only two knobs, (Gate) which sets the gates strength (Decay) which sets the gates time re-trigger. (Please read the manual) The synth may be triggered by audio or MIDI using the A|M switch in the trigger section.
* 64 presets to get you started.

This my friend is a what you would call a FSU VST, all it does is chopping up buffers and plays them back. of-course you can choose the length of the piece of audio played back and when to apply it.

Blargh its hard to explain what it does, throw it into your DAW feed it some audio and press the
little button. Then tweak the big knob. then press the button again, that's how it works and what it
does pretty simple.

Yes it is freeware, but if you want to donate a little summething something for my hard work, its much apprecieated.

Originating from the KVR developer challenge is this little beast.

Real-time sample assembler that accumulates loops from live or prerecorded audio sources. which means you can do all sort of nice things with it. I'm going to update a few things on it and then start hosting everything here at shuriken.se but for now I'm being a bit stressed and lazy and just want to put everything up here as fast as I can type.

Scanned Synth is the world's first VST plugin to implement Scanned Synthesis! Until now, this exciting new synthesis technology has only been available to users of Csound and Max. Now every desktop (Windows PC) musician can easily incorporate it into their compositions.

I would be really interested to hear about how you use the plugin and any ideas that you have for further development.

Please send any feedback to me (John Proctor) at feedback@humanoidsounds.co.uk

http://www.humanoidsounds.co.uk/

thanks for the most excellent job you are doing here, bmovie!

Cheers for this, I sold my old SQ80 a long time ago.
Now I can run it again.

The SQ8L is a software (VST) model of Ensoniq's classic 1980s
synth SQ80. The SQ80 features 3 digital wavetable oscillators
for each of its 8 voices which are fed through analog 4-pole
lowpass filters (-24dB gain) with resonance. Sound parameters can
be modulated by 4 envelopes, 3 LFOs and several MIDI sources.
The SQ80 also has a predecessor, the ESQ1, which can do most of
the same stuff.
Although the technology may seem obsolete, these synths can
produce a wide variety of interesting and extremely usable sounds.
Thanks to the lo-fi oscillators and the analog components it can
sound very digital and dirty, but also very analog and warm.
Which is a good thing because modern synths often tend to sound
rather clean. Now you can experience this great classic synth
with the SQ8L!
