CombOver

CombOver free filter by runagate

CombOver is a free filter VST plugin developed by runagate. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

CombOver is an FSU effect based on Comb Filters. Unlike a normal comb filter effect CombOver is trying too hard to cover up the naked pate of boring audio. Unlike those old FSU fx this one is understandable, programmable and doesn’t explode with feedback. But similarly otherworldly, wet or electric, exploding or glitchy and twitching sounds are possible with CombOver.

CombOver features delay times controlled by pitch detection and harmonic overtone series slider bank modulated by a step sequencer, a vector mixing X/Y pad top select amongst the delay times of four different harmonic-modulated delay times and a harmonic mix control to blend in harmonics with the root pitch-controlled comb filter. There are five comb filters in all.

Features:

  • 5 modulated comb filters.
  • Comb filter time modulation provided by input audio pitch detection.
  • 16 graphical sliders to choose 16 harmonic overtones for modulation source.
  • 16-step sequencer to modulate selected harmonic overtone for time modulation.
  • X/Y joystick-controlled vector mixer to blend between 4 harmonically-modulated comb filters.
  • A variety of tempo-synced beat division choices for the sequencer.
  • Stereo peak hold control on the pitch detector to ensure sensible pitch detection from stereo inputs, also acts as modulation smoothing envelope.
  • Pitch detection octave selection control.

Chorrosive

Chorrosive free distortion by BetabugsAudio

Chorrosive is a free distortion VST plugin developed by BetabugsAudio. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

Chorrosive is a simple device: it accepts audio in, “runs it through various types of battery acid”, and drops it out the other side. The ‘Battery Acid’ is comprised of a chorus unit, band pass filter and transistor emulation, applied to the incoming audio in varying degrees.

Common usage is via the Large Friendly Dial on the front. Turn it up to stir the acid; turn it down to retrieve your original signal.

black box slight disorder

black box slight disorder free glitch by de la Mancha

black box slight disorder is a free glitch VST plugin developed by de la Mancha. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

Although several theories have been put forward, no-one knows exactly how the black box works. What is known is that it will take an audio input and spit out a modified signal.

The rhythmic, choppy, buffered and tempo sync output is especially pleasing on drums, but works for most instruments and vocals too. It has no controls, only a red LED display that runs from 000 to 099, each number would appear to change the algorithmic undertones that affect the things and stuff inside differently. Some of these so-called ‘programs’ appear to loop the effect, others don’t. Sometimes the things are faster and the stuff slower, other times it’s the opposite.
