Muteomatic

Muteomatic free utility by Sound Radix

Muteomatic is a free audio and studio utility VST, VST3, Audio Unit, RTAS, AAX plugin developed by Sound Radix. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

Muteomatic is an elegant and simple plug-in that automates the activation of a talkback or listen microphone channel according to your DAW’s transport state and boldly displays the channel’s activation status.

Did you ever find yourself talking to the band in the studio excitedly, only to realize that you’ve spoken to yourself for the last few minutes, because you’d forgotten to press the talkback button? Or did you ever have to put out a fire started by a client who had commented on a talent’s attitude while the talkback mic had been unwittingly left open?

Enter Muteomatic.

Muteomatic will auto-mute the talkback or listen mic channels according to your DAW’s transport state, opening the mic automatically when the DAW stops and muting it back when the DAW is in playback or recording mode, all while clearly displaying when the mic is open or muted, so that you won’t find yourself in awkward positions or have to play fireman again.

In addition, Muteomatic can be used to auto-mute long effect tails or a monitor’s vocal effects when the DAW is no longer playing, clearing the air for intelligible conversation.

Mutant

Mutant free studio-tool by Crypton Future Media

Mutant is a free studio tools plugin developed by Crypton Future Media. Compatible OS(s): Windows, macOS.

Mutant is free sound file management software provided by Sonicwire that enables you to navigate through the large collection of sound files on Sonicwire, find more easily the sounds you’re looking for and preview them with a single click in the program. The additional “Comment” and “Bookmark” function allow you to easily organize and classify sound files.

Mutant supports easy Handling of Sound Material

Mutant is software designed for simple and efficient management of sound files for advanced music production.

As sound information such as Tempo/Key, sampling frequency, extensions, ACID and Appleloops correspond to the display of waveform, it’s easy to check the spec of the sound file while you preview the sounds. Once you find the sound you want, it’s easy to add the sound file into your production environment by using the drag&drop function. You can bookmark each sound, leave notes or tag it to find it again later more easily. The downloadable version of Sound Effects Collections [Effects Packs] distributed at Sonicwire.com are also compatible with Japanese keyword display.

Enhance your imagination

Once you find the folder which contains the sound you want to preview, you can immediately try the sound by just adding the file to Mutant with the drag&drop function. If you like the sound you’ve tried, you can drag&drop the sound into your music production environment.

In the folder-tree section, you can find efficient keyboard short-cut functions. For example, the right and left arrow keys let you open/close the folder; or Enter/Esc keys let you move between folder-tree and sound list. You can easily move between folders and try the sounds without using the mouse.

Excellent management functions to unify vast amounts of sound files

You can divide the sounds you’ve tried into groups by just leaving notes or adding them to the Bookmark folder. It is possible to constantly display the Bookmark folder close to the sound list. Another possibility is to make one note for multiple files or to bookmark them all at once.

Displaying the total number of files in the folder, it’s always easy to see how many sound files are managed in Mutant. The Sound list (database) can be switched depending on the property or contents of what you are producing.

Efficient Preview Function to support advanced Music Production

As the waveform is displayed in the sound list and seek bar, you can see in real time which part of it actually plays. You can play the sounds without having any time interval between the different sound files (seamless playback). You can preview the different sound files continuously as if a loop file is playing. As it supports loop playback, you can play one loop while you play an instrument, and at the same time also check the compatibility with the music software you are using. You can of course also set it to stop after each file is played.

Mutant Koto

Mutant Koto free rompler by Mutagene

Mutant Koto is a free rompler VST plugin developed by Mutagene. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

Mutant Koto is a simple VSTi that implements a plucked string model using two strings that can be detuned and coupled, first-order loop filters on each, controllable quantization of the coupled signal (called ‘leakage’ in the synthesizer) and a warped IIR lattice filter applied either to the leakage or to the output stage.

The maximum order of the warped lattice is 30 and the preset filters were derived to very roughly model some of the body resonances of the named instruments, along with a formant filter and some random filter choices.

Other features:

  • Microtuning support.
  • MIDI CC control of some key parameters.

Music IO: MIDI over USB

ZynAddSubFX free software-synthesizer by paulnasca 2

Music IO: MIDI over USB is a free audio and studio utility VST, Audio Unit plugin developed by Secret Base Design. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

Music IO: MIDI over USB allows you to send MIDI between an iOS device and either a Mac or a PC, using only an ordinary USB sync cable. No camera connection kit, or other hardware — just lightning fast MIDI in both directions, using a cable you already own.

Install Music IO on your iOS device and your desktop, and start the apps on both; when you connect the sync cable, the apps will detect each other automatically. After that, MIDI sent from one side will be forwarded to the other, with latency on the order of a millisecond or less.

If you need audio transfer as well, check out the Music IO: Audio and MIDI over USB (which does, as you might guess, both audio and MIDI). The Mac server can handle either type of connection, making installation easy.

For audio, there are also VST and AU plug-ins, allowing easy integration of iOS synthesizers and effects apps into a traditional desktop environment.
