...sounds interesting...

Steady VST plugin freeware.



Steady works as a smooth auto leveler, or see it as a expander/limiter with some special EQ enhancing.
Can work on some mixes but does magic on vocals and instruments, just try it.
Mono and stereo versions included.
Two Selectable level-models and bypass function.
Just put it on a your track and it "steady" it.

Float Crush



CamSR and ArkeCode have released Float Crush, a new type of bitcrusher exploiting the nature of the floating point unit. It offers something the regular bitcrusher can’t; a dual flavor distortion.

What does Float Crush do?
A floating point unit has three important segments to it, the sign, the exponent, and the mantissa. A normal 32-bit float uses 23 bits for it’s mantissa values and 7 bits for it’s exponent.

What Float Crush does is applies quantization to the exponent and mantissa range of bits, the same quantization a normal bitcrusher would. But the difference is this creates a multi-staged effect, where quantizing the mantissa range brings a soft, airy texture, and the exponent range which can completely ‘rearrange’ the sound.

There’s only a few presets but try it out for yourself. When adjusting the exponent effect, you might notice the signal gets softer, if that happens use the Pre-Gain control to compensate.

This VST plugin is still in pre-beta stage:



AirTraffic Control displays a simple map of the room you are in. The input channels appear as numbers with one circle around them, and output channels appear as numbers with two circles. All may be moved around.

AirTraffic Control is a Proximity Mixer, a new kind of audio mixer. Think of the outputs as being like ears: the nearer the inputs come, the easier it is to hear them.

From KVR forum:



This stereoizer is different than most others. I modelled it after an old hardware-synth that I have. Its nothing fancy but its efficient. It works by adding a phase-inverted, slightly delayed, discrete chorus to the dry signal. Unlike a typical chorus effect, which tends to turn a solo-instrument into an ensemble sound, this stereoizer is more transparant. Its also not a typical "delay" effect, or a "surrounder" which isn't really mono-compatible.

Its mono-compatible: If you monoize the sound again (left channel + right channel) the added effect will dissapear completely, leaving only the original sound. This has the benefit that you can use it on basses, even kick-drums, as well as any other sound. People who listen to your music in mono will not hear the stereoizer at all ! Stereoized bass-sounds won't sound sloppy on sound-systems where there are only one loudspeaker (sub-woofer) for the bass.

Listen to it here. First you hear the unprocessed sound, then the stereoizer:

dirtbox 2



dirtbox is a parallel compressor / distortion effect for adding filthy fatness to your sounds, especially drums. It features;
- added bouncy fatness by mixing the dry uncompressed signal and the wet compressed signal
- 4 flavours of gritty crunchy dirrrtyness, made to an old family recipe

compressor controls
Threshold & Gain are in dB, attack & release are in ms, ratio is x:1

oomph adds the dry signal onto the wet, to get that NY parallel compression sounds
you can turn the compressor on/off with the button to the left of the compressor window
dirt controls
you can turn each dirtifier on/off with the button to the left of the knob
- crush reduces bit rate and sample rate as you increase the knob setting
- distortion and drive are self limiting, as you increase the setting, the volume is roughly maintained
- ring modulation can be added using any of the 4 waveforms, sine, saw, triangle or square

the mix control is for the dirt section only, and controls the wet/dry level of those effects selected


midi learn
all knobs and buttons have midi CC support and midi learn
- press the 'learn' button
- clock symbol will show
- tweak a GUI control
- tweak your midi controller knob/slider/button/whatever
- clock symbol will go out
- controller will now move the GUI control
- press 'reset' button to remove all learned controls

black box slight disorder



the black box slight disorder was found by pawn shop owner, Jesus "Buffa" Martinez, in the wreckage of a secret experimental gyrocopter that crashed landed in Times Square, New York on Friday 8th January, 1969. Buffa sold it on to an anonymous collector, thought to be a wealthy rock star in a band-du-jour and it has since been stolen, smuggled in and out of all 17 continents, used as a door stop, an assault weapon, integrated into the Soyuz Space Station, survived 2 assasination attempts and came 3rd in last years Big Brother. Although several theories have been put forward, no-one knows exactly how it works. Teams of scientists, engineers, conspiracy theorists and reiki masters have all failed to gain entry to this enigmatic box of tricks. What is known is that it will take an audio input and spit out a modified signal, seemingly using a system of things and other stuff that make you go mmmmmmm.

The rythmic, choppy, buffered and tempo sync output is especially pleasing on drums, but works for most instruments and vocals too. It has no controls, only a red LED display that runs from 000 to 099, each number would appear to change the algorythymic undertones that affect the things and stuff inside differently. Some of these so-called 'programs' appear to loop the effect, others don't. Sometimes the things are faster and the stuff slower, othertimes it's the opposite.

The original black box is now retired from public life, but de la Mancha was lucky enough to get access for a few short days and using revolutionary new tele-sampling techniques was able to bring you this perfect software emulation of the legendary black box.

Controls
LED - click and drag up and down to change program number. You can also use Midi CC #3 to automate the LED

2RuleFilter



“2RuleFilter” is a self-resonant moog type filter that allows the filter cut-off frequency to be controlled manually, or by LFO, or by an envelope follower. It has a interresting feature called “scrambler” that plays filtered signal randomly depending on the selected beat. The “mix” knob mixies wet and dry signals, The “volume” knob is for setting the output volume level. The”Bit crusher” produces hard sound. Using its scramble feature you can maintain the rhythmic, choppy, buffered and tempo sync output.

Feature:
* High Pass, Low Pass, Band Pass filter
* Modulation of filter cut-off frequency by LFO (tempo-sync), manuallly or envelope follower(reversable)
* Bit crusher (16bit to 1 bit)
* Scrambler that devide one measure to different time intervall and plays beats randomly.
* Mix ballance in between dry(input signal) and wet(filtered and bit crushed).
* Sensitivity that allows the filter cut-off frequency be changed from roughly to smoothly. This effect is the same of parameter smoothing.

Control:

Frequency - Cut-off depending on filter type. This envelop can be used also with any type of modulation and creates relatif cutoff frequency.

Q - Resonance

F Type - Fiter type Low Pass(LP), Band Pass (BP) and High Pass (HP).

Sens - Sensitivity : Parameter smoothing for Freq parameter.

Bit Crusher - Decimator from 1 bit to 16b bit (Distortion).

Modulation - It defines the type of Freq(Cutoff) modulation : Manual, LFO , Envelope filter (Auto Wah)

Env Eff - The amount of envelope modulation(Auto Wah)

Reverse - It takes the inverse of envelope modulation.

LFO Eff - The amount of LFO modulation.

LFO Rate - LFO Rate

LFO Rate Mult - It multiplies the current LFO rate by 1 or 10 or 100.

Sync - It sync LFO rate with the current song tempo.

BEAT - It defines the fragment duration with will played randomly (Scrambler : 1/1 to 1/64)

SCRAMBLER - Can be set for wet(filtered) and dry (input) signal.

MIX - It defines the balance in between wet and dry signal.

VOLUME -Volume

Update history:

Beta release

Known Bugs :

Plugin is checked by Ableton and Cubase SX . But while playing a wav file in a Cubase SX, changing patches of 2RuleFilter can generate nasty sounds so keep the volum s low when changing patches.



!!WARNING!! 2RuleFilter is capable of nasty loudness if you push the settings hard, keep volumes low while you play with the controls

JM-1 (Linn Drum Emulation)



"This is the virtual drum machine expressed as VST. This musical instrument was produced in order that the author might wipe away the inferiority complex of "Linn Drum Computer". I have already made three musical instruments now. Although this musical instrument is the third thing, it is exhibited first." ?
