M3

M3 free waveshaper | delay | eq | distortion by Music Unfolding

M3 is a free waveshaper and delay and eq and distortion Audio Unit plugin developed by Music Unfolding. Compatible OS(s): macOS.

M3 is a distortion effect with two wave shapers, two parametric EQs, a delay and an envelope/MIDI controlled formant wah section.

The wave shapers are defined with Bezier curves by clicking and dragging control points – it’s easy to draw your favorite curve with M3 to achieve the distortion effect you want. Each wave shaper can be contoured using a collection of available filters. Because there are two wave shapers, the first can be used to drive the second. You can use the independent contouring filters of the two wave shaper sections to precisely design the character of the distortion.

There are two parametric EQ sections. Each EQ has five filters: low shelf, high shelf and three peak/cut. The first EQ section can be used to contour the signal before the distortion stages. The second is applied after the distortion stages and can be used for emulating cabinet response or adjusting the presence of the distortion.

There is a two-second delay with adjustable depth, feedback and filtering. The delay is placed between the two stages of distortion. The formant section can be set to auto-filter or can be controlled with a MIDI expression pedal. There are 90 different formant filter morphing wahs or oscillations.

M-theory

M-theory free software-synthesizer by Ugo

M-theory is a free software synthesizer developed by Ugo. Available format(s): VST for Windows.

M-theory is a physical modeling hybrid synth that provides a very wide range of high quality synthetic and hybrid acoustic modeled sounds. M-theory is the successor to the popular String Theory and, in comparison to its predecessor, M-theory is far more flexible and delivers a much higher quality tone, with greater depth, clarity, and character.

The heart of M-theory is its multi part oscillator system, which allows the user to combine the output two exciters to drive a Karplus-Strong style delay based oscillator. The exciters can be either samples (24 built in, or user loaded), VA oscillators, or noise and each imparts some of its tone to the delay oscillator. Of special note is that even though M-theory can make use of samples it is definitely not a “rompler” since the actual sound of the sample is not retained; only certain characteristics of the tone are passed on to the overall sound. This method makes programming faster and easier while still providing physical modeling flexibility, and allows M-theory to have it’s own unique voice rather than that of the sample.

In addition to is flexible multi-part oscillator system, M-theory also provides extensive filtering options (including the option of mixing low, band, high and all pass filters at the same time), dual programmable phrase arpeggiators, six built in effects, and much more. M-theory comes with 320 presets which range from sounds inspired by natural instruments all the way to other-worldly pads and ambiences.

Key features:

  • Karplus-Strong style synthesis engine.
  • Dual exciters, each with the option of samples, VA or noise sources.
  • Independent low, band, high, and all pass filters.
  • Dual programmable arpeggiators and an extra MIDI note doubler.
  • Built in tremolo, metal effect, chorus, delay, distortion, and reverb.
  • 320 presets.

M/Ster Balance

M/Ster Balance free stereo-imaging by Ourafilmes

M/Ster Balance is a free stereo imaging VST plugin developed by Ourafilmes. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

M/Ster Balance is a plugin designed for fast results. It allows you to control the tone of the sound and the stereo field with only 4 knobs through an intelligent algorithm. It features a transparent crossover filter that divides the signal in 2 bands: low (mono) and high (stereo). You control the balance of those 2 bands. Then the signal goes to a Mid-Side processor where you control the balance of the stereo field. A final gain stage allows you to compensate differences of level so you can compare the sound before and after the plugin processing. There is even a final onboard limiter (acts at 0dB FS – prevents clipping), if you ever need it.

Based on technologies from several of other Ourafilmes VST plugins (Master, Bass Bus, M/S EQ and Speaker Blower), those big knobs allow you to have total control over the sound. Use this plugin for tonal effects, eq/filtering, reverb control, stereo field control, phase control, … It’s great for tracking, mixing and mastering.

Full automation, MIDI learn (right-click knobs), zero latency.

This is a 32-bit VST plugin.

There are no user presets so experimentation is the key to success.

M-ST

M-ST free stereo-imaging by WOK

M-ST is a free stereo imaging VST plugin developed by WOK. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

M-ST is a VST effect for quick and easy adjusting the stereo wideness of an audio signal or faking a stereo-signal from a mono input.

Unlike a mono-stereo switch the channel separation can be continuously adjusted. Above 100% the stereo signal is spread with M/S techniques first and then additionally with filter and delay lines. The resulting signal is still mono compatible.

A mono input can be turned into a fake stereo signal with similar technique.

M-ST is free and does not contain any adware, spyware, toolsbars or other annoying limitations.

Made with Synthedit 1.2 – no multicore bug.

M/S EQ

M/S EQ free eq by Ourafilmes

M/S EQ is a free equalizer VST plugin developed by Ourafilmes. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

M/S EQ is a mid-sides multi-band processor. It splits the signal in low and high bands and allows you to process, separately, the mid and sides gain level of both bands. There’s also a final gain level knob and 2 switches on each band: solo and bypass. You can compare the results with the original signal by using the master bypass switch.

The use of this plug-in is very simple: from correcting phase issues to sound editing, from editing to mastering.

M/S EQ includes full automation and MIDI Learn.

This is a free plugin but, to download, you must be a fan of the Ourafilmes Facebook page as it is included in the Ourafilmes Facebook Free Pack.

LXR

LXR free delay | echo by Mildon

LXR is a free delay and echo VST plugin developed by Mildon. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

LXR is a lightweight tool that lets you insert small amounts of delay to each channel of a stereo track.

For best results in stereo applications, use smaller amounts (<0.1s). In monaural applications, use larger amounts (>0.5s) for a more pronounced effect (like a slap-back echo).
