Sludge Hustla

Sludge Hustla free pitch-shifter by RunBeerRun

Sludge Hustla is a free pitch shifter VST plugin developed by RunBeerRun. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

Sludge Hustla is a droptune pitch shift effect for guitar. It can transpose + or – 12 semitones, and has an optional midrange exciter.

It can simulate a downtuned guitar, or a guitar with heavier gauge strings. Droptune effects are new to the hardware world, and are not similar to simple pitch shift effects, so I thought I’d give it a try. The upward transposing effects are not quite like an organ or a 12-string guitar, but somewhere weird near there.

slix free sampler | slicer by de la Mancha

slix is a free sampler and slicer VST plugin developed by de la Mancha. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

slix also comes with 295 original drum loops by sink, covering breakbeat, dubstep, drum & bass, electro, 8 bit, lofi, vintage, IDM, FSU and glitch, demonstrated in 57 presets. You can of course load your own wavs (16-, 24- or 32-bit, mono or stereo).

  • Load any 16-, 24- or 32-bit, mono or stereo wav file into the 4 loop slots.
  • 445 MB of original drum loop content (295 loops) by sink covering many electronic genres (breakbeat, dubstep, drum & bass, electro, 8 bit, lofi, vintage, IDM, FSU and glitch).

  • Choose any number of slices per loop.
  • Slix plays when triggered by any MIDI note, with volume envelope per loop for fades.
  • 4 effects with independent parameters per loop:
    • Reorder – plays slices out of sequence for variation per loop.
    • Repeat – stutter effect by repeating slices.
    • Reverse – play the slice backwards.
    • Gate – add silent gaps into the loop.
  • Variation range to randomise probabilities.
  • Normalise and mono options per loop.

Slam

Slam free drum-machine | rompler by Extent of the Jam

Slam is a free drum machine and rompler VST, Audio Unit plugin developed by Extent of the Jam. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

Extent of the Jam: Slam is an original algorithmic drum machine design inspired by analog drum machines of days gone by. It’s made to allow users to create hard-hitting snares, beefy bassdrums, and all kinds of other sounds– with ease.

Each sound was meticulously tweaked to give you deep organic sounds with a wide range of options and settings. Close your eyes and you won’t even think it’s digital.

But Extent of the Jam: Slam isn’t content to just emulate old drum machines. While most old drum machines only had two levels of velocity (accented and non-accented), Slam gives you 127 levels of velocity for each drum. And it’s not just different volume levels: the velocity alters how the drums react. It also features drums not commonly found on analog drum machines such as finger-snap and tambourine. It’ll even produce gnarly synth bass tones that you can play on a chromatic scale.

Slam is 100% native C++ code.
