Alt Resonance is an amplifier simulator for any instrument (guitar, bass, synth), and uses simple filtered feedback as a resonance source. It has a 3-band crossover with per-band inverting, a bass booster, and optional clipper/limiter output protection.
It was built for hardware guitar effects pedals and amp sims that lose presence when plugged into a computer.

Advanced Clipper is basically a hard-clipping plugin with two stages. Additional oversampling reduces alias noise. The oversampling algorithm is based on butterworth filters (as can be found in rubberfilter) and thus will affect the group delay (you can notice a delay of some samples in extreme cases).
Features:
- Two stages of minimum phase, butterworth oversampler.
- Hard clip at higher sample rates.
- Oversampling of up to 16x (in both stages).
- Filter order up to 64 (using the max. order will introduce noticeable group delay).
- Tunable transition frequency (in parameter view).

ADT – Artificial Double Tracking is a plug-in which emulates the “Artificial Double Tracking” technique invented by The Beatles at Abbey Road Studios. It takes a mono input signal and generates a stereo signal with the original signal panned to one side and the ADT signal panned to the other.
ADT – Artificial Double Tracking
The ADT technique was developed at Abbey Road Studios by engineers recording The Beatles in the 1960s. To free John Lennon from having to sing everything twice for real double tracking they came up with an artificial replacement: they sent the original signal to another tape machine and re-recorded it. Due to the physical distance between record and playback heads the new signal was delayed. The length of the delay depends on the tape speed (the slower the tape is running the longer it takes for the signal to travel from the record to the playback head). However, due to the machine’s (small amounts of) Wow and Flutter the delay time was not fixed but varied slightly, giving an additional chorus-like effect.The ADT plug-in takes a mono input signal and creates a stereo output. The original input signal will be output on one channel, the new ADT signal on the other. Blending the two is also possible. The plug-in allows to control the delay time (10 – 50ms), Wow and Flutter (both with intensity in % and frequency). All values are based on the technical data of the tape machines that was originally used to create this effect.
Controls:
- Delay: the time the ADT signal is delayed, 10 – 50 ms.
- Dra Level: the level of the original signal.
- ADT Level: the level of the ADT signal.
- ADT Pan: the pan position of the ADT signal, the original signal is positioned at the opposite side.
- Wow: amount of low frequency playback speed variation, 0 – 0.2%.
- WowFreq.: low frequency playback speed variation rate, 0 – 6Hz.
- Waveform: waveform of Wow, Sine or Triangle.
- Flutter: amount of high frequency playback speed variation, 0 – 0.2%.
- FlutFreq.: high frequency playback speed variation rate, 4 – 60Hz.
- Waveform: waveform of Flutter, Sine or Triangle.

Ace is a faithful digital emulation of a legendary 1950s, American, all tube, tweed, 5W amp. We have added to the model two of the most common amplifier mods: adjustment of the amount of feedback and addition of grid stopper resistors, both of which can be turned off for the original amp sound.
Simple controls and a conservative CPU usage make ACE easy to use in live settings as well as for re-amping.
Features:
- Accurate modeling of the whole circuit to capture dynamic interactions between amp stages.
- Authentic 12AX7 and 6V6GT vacuum tube models.
- Models of the two most common amp mods.
- Adjustable strength of the input signal with up to 12 dB boost.
- Cabinet simulation that can be switched on or off.
- Selectable 2x, 4x, or 8x oversampling.

ABX Compressor Test is a research VST plug-in that implements 18 different compressor modes – that is 18 more or less significantly different algorithms. It was created to research how a good compressor should sound (and therefore how it must be designed).
All compressor designs are feed-forward and peak-detecting. The side-chain is always not filtered. The signal path is also unfiltered, that is it contains no sound enhancing of any kind (except for the gain adjustment performed by compression).
Different modes
The different modes comprise different envelope follower types, different transfer functions as well as different inter-operation between the internal parts of the compressor. The modes are numbered from 1 to 18, the literals in parenthesis hint at the difference and can be interpreted as follows:
- HQR = High quality transfer function (ratio).
- LQR = Low quality transfer function (ratio).
- S = Smooth operation (release).
Anyone is free to use and share this VST plug-in as long as they evaluate the different compressor modes to the best of their knowledge and report their findings and comments in this thread in the KVRAudio.com forum (where the plug-in is available for download).

7Q was designed as a simple, but effective 64-bit alternative to the graphical Classic EQ with musically predefined bands and Q values. With the integrated high pass and low pass filters, you can tidy up your mix and make it more transparent. Use it either as your main EQ for an instrument or vocal track, or simply for a rough clean up before sending your signal into a compressor or adding other effects.

5ORCERY is a “meta-multi-band” compressor using dynamic EQ.
5ORCERY takes a different approach to multi-band compression: the signal is still split into separate bands using cross-over filters, and these still feed the side-chains of separate compressors, but the filtered signals are not mixed back together again. Instead the gain modulation signals from all five compressors are matrixed into modulation signals for 4 dynamic shelving filters plus a gain stage.
To put it another way: while this plug-in behaves like a multi-band compressor, and allows you to solve many of the same problems, it is in actual fact a constantly changing 4-band equaliser, and when it isn’t doing anything, it really isn’t doing anything.
platinumears has dubbed this approach “meta-multiband compression”: all the benefits of a multi-band with none of the usual side effects. Use it wherever you like, on channels, sub-groups or mixes.
Features:
- Transparent and easy to use multi-band compression.
- Dynamic EQ topology to reduce phase artifacts.
- Five FL4TT3RY 2 compressors, with band-limited side-chains.
- External side-chain inputs (switchable per band).
- Intuitive “solo in place” function for each band.
- Optional soft clipping keeps your peaks below 0dBFS.
- Flexible Gain / Gain Reduction meters with switchable range.
- Zero latency.

HOFA 4U+ DynamicTiltEQ is the only available freeware Tilt EQ. It can do everything the legendary analogue models could:
Use just one knob for the perfect balancing of low and high frequencies on the highest audio level.This alone is a fantastic feature, but (of course) was not enough to suit our idea. We brainstormed about the setup of the best Tilt EQ of all times and came up with a list that leaves no wish unfulfilled. The freeware includes:
- gain/cut up to 24 dB.
- variable tilt width for transparent adjustments as well as musical sound shaping.
- splittable bass and treble tilt.
- low and highcut filter (6 & 12 dB/octave).
- individual routing for stereo, mid, side left and right processing.
- up to 32x oversampling.
- support for Mac and PC, 32- and 64-bit DAWs.
It’s extremely rewarding to activate the dynamics for the low and high range and the integrated analyzer for very little money. In combination with parallel processing and a dry/wet control this makes for fascinating creative possibilities.
Despite all these extras, 4U+ DynamicTiltEQ is a simple, self-explaining sound shaper – so just install it, start to work and enjoy the good sound.
HOFA 4U+ DynamicTiltEQ – The worldwide first dynamic Tilt EQ.
HOFA 4U+ DynamicTiltEQ provides for:
- sound shaping on the highest level.
- balanced sounds.
- less waste of time by its intuitive workflow.
- analogue feel of handling and sound.
- new creative means of expression.
