Clarity Haven

Clarity Haven free amp-simulator by RunBeerRun

Clarity Haven is a free amp simulator VST plugin developed by RunBeerRun. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

Clarity Haven is an amplifier simulator plugin for guitar (acoustic or a distorted electric).

The main concept is overuse of oversampling. In the beginning of the circuit there are 3 2X oversamplers in series, with another 3 in parallel, and those all go into another 2x oversampler. This whole bunch of oversamplers is again repeated at the end of the chain of stuff. It all makes a big wall of mush.

Chorus

Chorus free chorus by kiloHearts

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

Chorus enhances the stereo effect and presence of a sound by mixing it with delayed versions of itself:

  • Delay knob – The average delay for the delayed voices.
  • Rate knob – The frequency of how fast to vary the delay.
  • Depth knob – How much to vary the delay.
  • Spread knob – Stereo width of the effect. A lower value will go towards a mono output.
  • Taps – The number of chorus voices.
  • 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 Chorus 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.).

Chorus 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.

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

Chorus +

ZynAddSubFX free software-synthesizer by paulnasca 2

Chorus + is a free chorus VST plugin developed by Synthescience. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

Chorus + is that sort of dense and harmonically rich chorus that you are very likely to encounter on some older (as old as the 80’s) synths.

It’s a no brainer plugin with a few controls to deliver a lot from and packed with two flavours at choice, sort of “mild” and “strong”, nevertheless if tweaked harder may go from strong to that sort of abusive, heavily modulated type of sound.

The Chorus + is fully automatable and has the ability to store 64 presets.

It ships with a few already pre programmed ones that will show what its all about and may be the starting point to your individual creations.

Installation procedure: Unzip the file, then copy the DLLs into your VstPlugins folder.

Chorus Box

Chorus Box free chorus by Synthescience

Chorus Box is a free chorus VST plugin developed by Synthescience. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

Since its invention on the late seventies the Chorus effect has been established as the effect to go if you need to impart some thickness and dimension into your sound.

The Chorus Box does that and a little more too, thanks to the addition of extra waveforms (apart from Sine and Triangular) that are by tradition not used in regular chorus units such as Saw, Square and Random.

This translates into chorus tones with a “rhythmic” edge. A “Phase adjust” knob is provided for widening up the chorus sound, plus a “Wave invert” function adds some more flexibility to your modulations.

The Chorus Box is fully automatable and has the ability to store 32 presets. It ships with a few already pre programmed ones that will show what its all about and may be the starting point to your individual creations.

Installation procedure: Unzip the file, then copy the DLL’s into your VstPlugins folder.

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.
