LP10 CM is a free equalizer VST, Audio Unit plugin developed by Computer Music. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

LP10 CM is part of the DDMF CM EQ Pack, which is free with Computer Music magazine issue 179. The pack contains two equaliser plug-ins for PC and Mac, in VST and AU formats: IIEQ Pro CM is an all-purpose EQ, whereas LP10 is focused more on mastering, offering linear phase and variable phase operation.

  • Hold Ctrl to “auto-listen” to the band.
  • Output gain dial.

LP10 CM features:

  • Fully adjustable phase for each EQ band.
  • Sweep smoothly ase from minimum phase (ie, normal digital EQ) to linear to inverse minimum phase.
  • Global linear phase and minimum phase buttons, for convenience.
  • Built-in stereo width adjustment (useful for mastering).
  • Standard peak/bell, 12dB low-pass and 12dB high-pass filters.
  • “Flex” filters: peak, notch, low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, low-shelf and high-shelf.
  • Smoothly adjust the slope of the Flex filters, from 6dB/octave up to 60dB/octave.

The full, paid-for versions of IIEQ Pro and LP10 offer the following additional features:

  • 10 bands instead of 6.
  • Built-in spectrum analyser.
  • Stereo and mid/side operation.

Loudness

Loudness free eq | compressor by WOK

Loudness is a free eq and compressor VST plugin developed by WOK. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

WOK Loudness simulates the loudness button on old HiFi amps, which alters the frequency response curve to correspond roughly with the equal loudness characteristic of the ear at lower volumes.

The level of high and low frequencies is increased at low listening levels, to compensate for the fact that as the volume of audio decreases, the ears lower sensitivity to extreme high and low frequencies may cause these signals to fall below threshold. As a result audio material may seem to become ‘thin’ sounding at low volumes, losing bass and treble, the ‘Loudness compensation’ button (often just labelled ‘Loudness’ or ‘Loud’) is intended to rectify this situation.

Loudness is available for free as a 32-bit VST plugin for Windows (sometimes a nag-screen pops up).

Made with SynthEdit

Lord of the Springs

Lord of the Springs free software-synthesizer by Taron

Lord of the Springs is a free software synthesizer developed by Taron. Available format(s): VST for Windows.

Lord of the Springs is a VSTi for Windows (64/32) featuring 88 voices in form of active spring systems, which a key hit stimulates as well as modwheel scrubbing.

Lord of the Springs V2 overview on YOUTUBE

As one might imagine, springs will generally create rather metallic sounds, which makes it ideal for complex glockenspiel sounds, xylophones, marimbas and so on, but the freedom granted by the features allows for a much greater variety of sounds from soft, dreamy pads to harsh percussion and other percussive sounds.

Beware, though, because it truly is procedural sound creation, potentially creating spikes when you line up the spring frequencies. I advice the use of a limiter to avoid possible heart-attacks or damage to equipment.

It also features a unique pitchbend implementation that allows only held down keys to be pitched, while sustained keys (via sustain pedal) won’t be affected by it. Once a key is released, a pitch relax value controls how quickly it will return to the original pitch of the key. Once the bend key is struck again without any pitch bending, it will be tuned back to normal instantly.

Tip:

  • set it high to create whole new performance styles for quick runs.
  • set it medium for almost chorus like effects when pitching toward a clean key.
  • set it low to keep the pitch bend after releasing the key.

The probably most outlandish feature is the BODY or ONE SPRING TO RULE THEM ALL, which is kind of why I ended up calling it Lord of the Springs. This one spring sits underneath all springs and stimulates all of them by what ever sound they produce. It creates an almost plate reverb like effect, which can be modified in a variety of ways, including its own tuning, decay, diffusion and- what I call- “sharpness”. On top of that it has its own phaser effect with a tremolo that can go stereo and can have its rate synced not just to BPM but to actual song position for a perfect lineup with a beat, if so desired. Subtle use of the phaser can create compelling room impressions as well, which is the original reason for why I implemented it to begin with. The BODY also features a blendable SOLO mode, again increasing the amount of sound creation possibilities somewhat substantially, though, mostly in the realm of special effects.

The entire GUI design is completely procedural without the use of any images, which allows the small file size, but also allows me to go crazy with weird ideas on the fly. If only I had more time to reduce the chaos, but…

I sincerely hope you will enjoy using it, while I had to rush to get it done in time for the challenge. Once voting is over and my hopes and dreams won’t be smashed to pieces (haha), I will happily resume developing further versions. Come to think of it, even with shattered dreams I will continue, because it’s tremendous fun for me.

Best of luck to everyone,
Taron.

Loopy Llama

Loopy Llama free looper by Rekliner Records

Loopy Llama is a free looper VST plugin developed by Rekliner Records. Compatible OS(s): Windows, macOS.

Loopy Llama was made to emulate the Jam Man or Line6 DL-4 – but also generates a click track so it could be used with a drummer live. It is designed to work with Plogue Bidule for live performance, but it can be used as a regular VST plugin as well.

It performs just like many hardware looper units on the market, but with a maximum loop time of 60 seconds.

Experienced loopers will recognize “endpoints” mode – where you hit the record button to start recording, and again at the end of the loop. In the other 3 record modes, you determine the tempo before you play by entering it or tapping it in onscreen or with any MIDI foot controller.

Once the tempo is set you no longer have to worry about hitting the record button precisely on a downbeat. You can play along to the click track and turn recording on and off whenever you want. You can set the number of measures to loop using a program change or onscreen. In endpoints mode this means how many clicks the metronome will make during the loop.

If you are recording, hitting reset once will “forget” what you played for one pass of a loop – so if you hit a wrong note you don’t have to start over. If it not recording or you hit the reset button twice it will completely reset.

Features:

  • Create loops in real time.
  • You can tap in a tempo or type it in…or sync to host.
  • Generates a MIDI click track and sends VST Timeinfo to host.
  • Can use a MIDI foot controller for hands free operation.
  • Can decay loops for slowly evolving Robert Fripp type action.
  • Can reverse loops, even on the instant you mark the loop ending.
  • If you make a mistake you can “undo” the pass of the loop you were adding.
  • Can have multiple instances synced together for multi-part loops.
