disPRESSA

disPRESSA is a free compressor VST plugin developed by whiteLABEL. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

disPRESSA is a distortion powered compressor. It’s not a normal math modelled compressor – no threshold, ratio, or knee controls. Instead, disPRESSA uses overdrive as its method of compression. The input channel is overdriven and then measured. Its level is then used to set the level of the clean output channel. The more distortion is piled on, and the higher the contour control, the more the signal is compressed.

It has controls for:

Drive.

Contour.

Make-up.

Attack.

Release.

Sidechain Filter.

Distortion model.

A mono version of disPRESSA is available for free (the full version is stereo).

DepthCharge

DepthCharge is a free compressor VST plugin developed by 7AIR. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

DepthCharge is a compressor plug-in with analogue VU meters and a dimpled metal background. Designed specifically for tracking though it can be used in the master bus chain.

7AIR primarily uses it for drums, guitar and vocals, though it can be used for pretty much anything you throw at it, curbing some high frequencies on synths and pads for example.

Delay Studio

Delay Studio is a free delay VST plugin developed by Studio Toolz. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

Minimal System Instruments Delay Studio

Delay Studio from Minimal System Instruments is a powerful and massively creative multiband delay plugin which gives you all of the tools needed to create your perfect delay/echo effect. From weird and wonderful long modulated delays to workhorse multi-taps and analogue inspired echoes the Delay Studio will turn any flat, uninspiring sound into a beautiful sonic masterpiece.

Features:

3 fully configurable independent delay bands (Low/Mid/Hi) with complete and accurate control over the frequency width of each band (Frequency Range 0hz to 20,000hz).

Each band is split in to left and right channels with independent delay time and feedback.

Comprehensive filter bank section. Each band has its own fully featured filter on both left and right channels complete with cutoff and resonance controls. (Filter types include Low Pass, High Pass, Band Pass, Peaking, and Band Reject). Each filter can be modulated using the multimode LFOs which can also be tempo synced or free running. A total of six filters and six LFOs.

Built on an accurate crossover algorithm. As with the rest of our plugin range, we model our algorithms on actual physical analogue hardware to achieve the most accurate sound possible.

VU meters on all bands for visual monitoring.

Input and Output level controls allow easy attenuation of both the incoming and outgoing audio signals.

Full automation and controller mapping. All parameters in Delay Studio can be easily mapped to any MIDI controller or MIDI keyboard for complete tactile real-time control. All parameters are designed to be fully automated in all DAWs.

Balance control to accurately modify the position of the sound in the stereo field.

Logical and easy-to-use user interface. Minimal System Instruments products are specifically designed to enhance our user’s workflow. We intentionally place all parameter controls on the front end of the GUI to make modifying sounds a breeze (No hidden menus or parameters here!).

Low CPU usage. Our code is fully streamlined and optimised to make Delay Studio as efficient on your resources as possible.

Delay Studio is a plugin that invites creativity and experimentation.

System Requirements

Delay Studio is a VST plugin that runs on Windows based PC’s using a suitable VST host or DAW. Our plugins have been fully tested within Ableton Live, Adobe Audition, Cakewalk Sonar, FL Studio, Energy XT, Presonus Studio One, Renoise, and Cubase.

Version 1.01 Change Log:

Issue where the low band slider could not be dragged has been fixed.

Delay

Delay is a free delay VST, VST3, Audio Unit, AAX plugin developed by Stagecraft Software. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

A filter delay built from the ground up for EDM, focusing on overlapping quantized delays and allowing filter sweeps with a single parameter. Includes visual display with an astonishing high resolution FFT so you can literally see the effect of filters in real time, preset saving and sharing, and full automation for all parameters.

Delay

Delay is a free delay VST, Audio Unit, AAX plugin developed by kiloHearts. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

Delay can be run both free running and tempo synced with various stereo and feedback options. Most notable however is the duck feature, which optionally only lets the echoed sound through when there is no dry input signal. This allows for long and heavy delay while still avoiding clutter over the original sound:

Delay display – The amount of time beore the delayed sound starts playing. This will be expressed in milliseconds or as parts of a beat, depending on Sync Mode.

Sync Mode – When sync is enabled the delay time will be synchronized to the song tempo.

Feedback knob – The feedback setting will cause the delayed sound to feed back into the delay. This will create an exponentially decaying echo.

Pan knob – Adjust the panning of the delayed sound.

Ping-Pong – Swaps the left and the right channel of the delayed sound when it is fed back into the delay. When combined with panning this will make the echo bounce back and forth between the speakers.

Duck knob – When duck is turned up, the output volume from the delay will automatically be lowered when the input volume is high.

Mix knob – The dry/wet mix of this effect. A lower value will let some of the unmodified signal through.

Settings panel – Whenever you have your mouse cursor over a snapin theree is a small arrow at the top right corner (not visible in screenshot). It opens a settings panel where you handle presets.

Enabled checkbox – The small checkbox to the left of the plugin name is a checkbox that bypasses the effect when disabled.

Resize handle – The bottom right corner of all Kilohearts plugins is a resize handle for scaling the UI to any size. This allows you to get a good view of the controls whatever the screen resolution, and also comes in handy if you need big controls, e.g. when using Delay as a real-time effect on a touchscreen monitor during a live set. (This is not available when the snapin is used inside a snapin host.).

Delay shines on it’s own, but it was primarily created to power up the different “Snapin Hosts” Kilohearts offer. These are bigger effects units that utilize all the available snapins and give you a really fun and creative workflow for combining them in any way you can think of. So have a look at Snap Heap and Multipass right now.

Delay is also available as a Rack Extension for Reason over at the Propellerhead shop.

Delay Bundle

Delay Bundle is a free delay and echo VST, VST3, Audio Unit, AAX plugin developed by Soundhack. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

The Delay Bundle / Delay Kit is a collection of plugins that Tom Erbe (SoundHack) developed as class demonstrations while teaching computer music and studio technique at UC San Diego. All of these are derived from the same basic delay algorithm: a hermite interpolated delay line with variable modulation, and a feedback loop with dc blocking and saturation. Pitch shifting is achieved with a dual head crossfading delay (ala Eltro Tempophon/Dennis Gabor/Pierre Schaeffer phonogene) and is decidedly low-? The saturating feedback also allows them to be great drone and noise generators.

The plugins are:

++flipper – synchronized reverse delay.

++bubbler – a flexible and MIDI playable granular delay.

++pitchdelay – old school multitap delay-based pitch-shifting.

++delay – a fully featured 10 second delay, with extensive modulation and feedback filtering.
