F8-V2

F8-V2 is a free multi fx and filter and ring modulator and reverb and gate and lfo and echo and pitch shifter Audio Unit plugin developed by Music Unfolding. Compatible OS(s): macOS.

The Collective 8 Audio Unit Bundle consists of three Audio Units: F8-V2, Mod8 and Res8. All three share a similar amplitude modulation sequence configuration. The audio stream is copied into 8 identical streams and an amplitude modulation pattern can be applied to each stream. The amplitude modulation patterns can be drawn to any shape, with an-easy-to use editing environment that automatically appears when hovering over the patterns with a mouse. Each stream also has filters or effects applied to it individually. The streams are then mixed back together.

The plug-ins:

F8-V2 has LFOs, which are applied to highpass, bandpass or lowpass filters.

Res8 has a choice of a driven, nonlinear, multi-stage filter or formant filters that can be independently applied to each audio stream.

Mod8 has a range of modulation effects like vibrato and ring modulation. It also has echo, reverb, sub-octave, and pitch shifting.

The result is up to 8 different effects running all at the same time, each with its own settings and amplitude sequences. This layering gives unlimited options to create incredibly interesting effects, from intricate and wild effects, to rich, textured reverb, echo, chorus-type effects. The Collective 8 Audio Units come with hundreds of presets. Amplitude modulation patterns can be copied and pasted within each AU or between them.

F1 FilterBox

F1 FilterBox is a free filter VST plugin developed by RAZ Audio. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

The F1 FilterBox is an easy controlled multi-mode filter.

It offers an intuitive GUI, different filter and slope types as well as various modulation possibilities. It is an easy tool for precision sculpturing of the audio source.

The F1 offers 6 different filters shapes:
* LPF [12 and 24 Db/Octave]
* HPF [12 and 24 Db/Octave]
* BPF [12 and 24 Db/Octave]
…and various methods to modulate the cut-off point:
* LFO (time based, [ms])
* Sync_LFO – temp based, synchronized to DAW’s BPM setting
* Envelope follower
As well as a master modulation depth setting, which can be run to negative values as well as positive.
All these modulation setting can be run in parallel and offer you a very quick and easy to use tool, which sounds just great.

Throw it on drum loops, fat synth pads, sampled content, vocals, bass guitar track or actually any content for interesting musical results. It is a high versatility fun tool…

It also offers MIDI control, DAW automation and knob type as well as ‘XY pad’ controls.

Enjoy it for free.

explodelay

explodelay is a free delay VST plugin developed by xoxos. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

Explodelay uses a fourier spectral transform in a delay loop to explode signals into bursts of noise. Separate control is provided over signal propogation across the spectrum and randomising phase to produce a variety of effects from distortion to temporal aliasing, subtle harmonic ripples in comb filter applications, controlled unidirectional shifts with filtering, and constant feedback reimaging.

Of course, exploding signals into bursts of noise effectively describes classic delay technology.

Experimental Combo Emulation

Experimental Combo Emulation is a free amp simulator Stand Alone, VST plugin developed by 7AMP Around Music Portal. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

7AMP Experimental Combo Emulator is a guitar amp emulation software with unusual sound. It was created to test some guitar sound processing ideas and then transformed into free of pay amp emulator to achieve rare sounds at repetition or recording. For it’s experimental nature it is not an emulation of any really existing guitar amp. It’s goals are some original clean sounds, good “strained” overdriven solo sound, and staccatos.

The standalone emulator version supports connecting of multiple guitars simultaneously. It has advantage of recording input signal from 2 guitars and built in scheme for noise reduction, which appears before recording and rest of processing chain. It helps to record cleaner guitar sound, that is often important when recording or playing at PC, cause guitar sustainer and distortion highly amplify noise usually. Complex two band limiter which may act like sustainer at input helps to control sound dynamics before overdrive.

All parts of 7AMP Experimental Combo Emulator are available as standalone VST plugins.

Erectifier

Erectifier is a free exciter and enhancer VST plugin developed by Rusty Trombone. Compatible OS(s): Windows, macOS.

Erectifier works as a doubler, demented phaser or exciter. It is designed to widen and “phatten” your sound, although it is capable of being a very demented beast as well.

You have an LFO that controls how long back an echo is. You can set the length and speed of this LFO. Then there is a filter that can be LowPass, HighPass or Allpass, and a cut Hz so that you can control where the cut is. The distortion is to “gritt” up the sound a little, or a lot, it’s not the world’s best distortion. Then you can amplify the signal, if you want to. The filter can cut away a lot of the volume, that’s why we have it. Then finally there is a on/off. There are two to the left side and two on the right side. And finally one dry through parameter. So if you’d like to test one of your settings, turn the other three off (via on/off parameter) and then tweak away. There are a few presets (plus a random-function).

Erectifier was programmed for Rusty Trombone by Shuriken.se.

Equalizer AQ1

Equalizer AQ1 is a free equalizer VST plugin developed by Audiocation. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

Equalizer AQ1 is a parametric EQ plug-in optimized for low CPU usage whilst maintaining the highest precision in signal processing. The input and output level of the plug-in can be adjusted separately. While with typical digital equalizers one control would be redundant (since the process of filtering is linear), these controls gives you the control about the analogue modelled gain stages.
