Drop-CRE8

Drop-CRE8 free software-synthesizer by Sample Fuel

Drop-CRE8 is a free software synthesizer for HALion, developed by Sample Fuel. Available format(s): for .

Intuitive and flexible with the focus on quick and easy workflow is the concept behind our CRE8 Engine.

Drop has a simple drag n drop synth engine that contains a sample layer and a granular layer. Presets have up to 2 Layers and you can load patches in up to 16 slots that can be used multi-timbral or layered by assigning patches to the same MIDI channel.

The main concept behind its design is to provide you with a “Main Page” that provides all the functionality you would reach for during composing or performing. Of course there is an incredible amount of functionality and sound design capabilities contained in the additional pages we provide all with the same concept of being simple and intuitive.

*Requires HALion Sonic SE 3.1.10 free, HALion Sonic 3.1.10 or HALion 6.1.10 or higher.

Driveshaper

Driveshaper free waveshaper by Synthescience

Driveshaper is a free waveshaper VST plugin developed by Synthescience. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

The Driveshaper is an input sensitive Foldback Distortion, a great depart from what we commonly know and hear from traditional Distortion/Overdrive units, this one bearing the peculiarity of imprinting more of a Growly, FM’ish tone to what you throw at it. One can devise it as a special member from the Distortion family.

The Driveshaper is fully automatable and has the ability to store 64 presets. It ships with a few already pre programmed ones that will show what its all about.

Installation procedure: Unzip the file, then copy the DLLs into your VstPlugins folder.

Drift

Drift free multi-fx by Sinevibes

Drift is a free multi fx Audio Unit plugin developed by Sinevibes. Compatible OS(s): macOS.

Drift is a multi-effects processor based on two independent Lorenz chaos oscillators. These systems are used by scientists to model convection in liquids and gases: they produce chaotically fluctuating, never-repeating signals that are mutually correlated. Drift uses one Lorenz oscillator to apply two-dimensional modulation onto an effect unit with filters, phasers and phasers – and another such oscillator is applied onto output level and stereo pan. With this, Drift is able to give any sound the dynamic characteristics of wind gusts, air turbulence, ocean waves or water bubbles.

All of Drift‘s functionality is neatly presented by an intuitive interface wholly built with color-coded graphics. It features graphic representations of the two Lorenz oscillators as well as subtle animations for all controls, for a pleasant, natural user experience. Together with careful parameter calibration, this makes Drift an always enjoyable, yet very musical and productive tool.

Sound engine:

  • Two Lorenz chaos oscillators with adjustable speed and output curve shaping.
  • Multi-effect unit featuring 15 different filter, phaser and flanger algorithms.
  • Four modulation destinations: two effect parameters, output level, and stereo pan.

Interface:

  • Real-time graphics for Lorenz chaos oscillators.
  • Color-coded controls with lightly animated transitions.
  • Fully hardware-accelerated rendering with support for Retina screen resolution.

Compatibility:

  • Works with any application that supports Audio Unit effect plugins.
  • Supports OS X 10.6 or later running on 32 or 64-bit Intel Macs.
