Motile

Motile free multi-fx | distortion | flanger | phaser | chorus | reverb | delay | glitch by NOVUZEIT

Motile is a free multi fx and distortion and flanger and phaser and chorus and reverb and delay and glitch VST plugin developed by NOVUZEIT. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

Motile is designed to aid in the creation of extreme experimental music and idiosyncratic sound design.

Motile consists of many different FX types primarily designed towards “FSU”, including Glitch, Psycho-modulation, Metallicize, Granulation, and more. All of these FX types are controlled from within Motile’s interface by direct mouse control of each effect via an XY grid that allows “dynamic transvolving sounds for each”. The XY movement of each FX unit can also be automated fully using various waveform selections and throttle controls. A combination of human mouse movement and computer aided automation for each effect is possible as well.

Also included is the FX Cycle system, allowing each FX type to be randomly turned on and off in realtime. MIDI CC support for all pertinent parameters is included. Motile’s entire control scheme is fully tool-tipped for ease of use.

The full version of Motile includes over 60 presets, a HTML user reference manual, and a printable MIDI CC control listing.

Mixtube

Mixtube free overdrive | saturation by WOK

Mixtube is a free overdrive and saturation VST plugin developed by WOK. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

Mixtube is a VST effect emulating the input stage of a tube driven mixing console. It can be inserted in every audio track of a song to make it sound warmer and thicker and to make it fit better into the mix.

Depending on the type and volume of the input signal and the setting of the drive knob, Mixtube adds even and/or odd harmonics, smooths attacks and incorporates a compressing and limiting effect to the audio. Use it on vocal tracks to simulate the use of a tube mic preamp, crank the drive up for an electric bass recorded directly to get some driven sound, make your drums fat – all with the simpleness of just turning one knob.

This plug-in recreates the warm sound qualities of classic analog hardware, providing a simple “vintage-style” interface, as well as low CPU consumption.

Features:

  • Accurate tube preamp simulator with oversampling.
  • Two switchable circuit emulations.
  • Continuous adjustment of tube gain.
  • Analog style metering.

Made with Synthedit 1.2 – no multicore bug.
