Bonch – Bruevich? Who is it? This person designed and built the world’s most powerful radio tube in 1924. Tube emulator by Syntler less powerful, but very hot. Be careful! This device works in the range from light to dirty exciter.

whiteLABEL’s collection of bolsterisers are described as “naive dynamics” plug-ins.
An Imaginary History
The bolsterisers hark from a time before compression as we now know it. A long-obscure English experimentalist engineer and gentleman scientist by the name of Edwin Pierfax III derived his naive design of the original bolsteriser during a nap on the lawn with his cat Tiswold. He is said to have announced one day during afternoon-tea that he had “found a method to aid in the bolsterising of signals to an extent most satisfactory”.
He set to work at once.
Fast-forward nearly ninety years and the bolsterisers are reborn in digital form. After various component-level tests, it was decided to power-up the devices and take some measurements with a view to recreating these fantasy beasts in software – and here they are in their equally naive digital implementations.
In their day, there was no working language of audio compression, so some of the terminology associated with the bolsterisers is a little out of keeping with the modern production lexicon. Today, the devices would be characterised roughly as follows:
- Rev (A) – Softknee RMS Compressor
- Rev (B) – Hardknee Peak Compressor
- Rev (C) – Hardknee Booster
- Rev (D) – Softknee Booster
- Rev (E) – Side-channel Hybrid

The Boids plugin is a hybrid Granular + Delay plugin that features a 2D “Boid” swarm as a set of modulators for the grain and delay parameters. This plugin grew out of an interest to accomplish two different goals:
- Finding a way to manage grain swarms visually.
- Creating delay-based ambiance that has subtle, not quite random, variations.
The Boid Swarm represents a set of flocking boids (a boid is a “Bird Android” – see Craig Reynolds work: www.red3d.com/boids). There are a few simple rules that each boid uses to determine where it will fly to on the next swarm advance. These include rules for how fast to fly, how near to fly to other boids, how strongly to move to the center of the flock, how strongly to follow a leader boid, and how strongly to match the position and direction of nearby boids.
The swarm space that the boids fly in is treated as a 2D coordinate system where the X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) position of each boid can be used to modulate controls. A swarm may contain up to 200 boids.
The plugin supports multiple grain streams and multiple delay taps (up to 200 each). Each grain stream and delay tap is associated with one of the boids in the swarm. The X position, Y position, Radius position and ID number of that boid associated with the grain stream or tap can be assigned to modulate the controls that define how that specific grain or tap will be produced.
For example, the X position of a boid can be assigned to control the pan value for the delay taps. For each delay tap, the X position of the boid associated with that delay tap will determine its pan position in the output stereo field. Different taps will have different pan values depending on the location of the boid associated with the tap. In this configuration delay tap signals will move through stereo positions as the boids move through the swarm space.
Each of the parameters for the grain streams and delay taps can be modulated using the position of the boid associated with the grain/tap (and/or traditional LFO modulators).

64-bit distortion and fuzz pedal emulator with two stages of amplification/clipping in addition to input amplification stage. Please see YouTube channel for EXE Consulting for introductory video. Please see SoundCloud for EXE Consulting for songs that employ this distortion and fuzz box emulator. VST2/VST3 again.
This pedal emulation can produce very high gains. Please feed the output into a low-gain amp sim such as LG2Amp, especially for live playing. Too much gain and feedback may produce a very high-pitched squeal.

Blockfish is a versatile compressor with countless ways to shape the incoming audio. Unlike many other digital compressors, Blockfish has ‘soul’. It likes to bite, but it can be tamed easily once you’ve learned how to use its potential.
You can remove the front plate and make further adjustments on the circuit board. Everything is possible: clean, transparent, loud, punchy, silky, subtle, fat. But still with a unique sonic character.

Blittr is a buffer-sampling, stuttering glitchbox in the tradition of DFX’s Buffer override. It features integrated modulation LFOs, XY pad and a useless-but-cool-looking wave scope.

Blindfold EQ is a freeware EQ plugin inspired by a quote by Matt Wallace from the book Recording Unhinged by Sylvia Massy.
It has 4 bands (LowShelf, LowMid, HighMid, HighShelf), but each knob is blind. There are no indicators or numbers to show frequency values, gain values or Q values.
You’d have to use your ears.

BlackBooster is a free audio plugin for Microsoft Windows, booster stomp emulation, based on real scheme. BlackBooster is a multi-purpose effect and can be used not only for guitar.
Features:
• 64-bit internal processing
• input level adjustment
• stereo processing
• 64/32-bit versions.http://www.nsp-vst.ru/
Black Magic is a unique loop workstation with the ability to generate diverse loops with a single mouse click. Furthermore a loop can instantly be recorded out to WAV, automatically named by BPM and timestamp. The idea developed to make sample based loops an easy and fun process, as loop creation is generally a time consuming process.
Black Magic can also be used as a standard MIDI drum machine and also has the ability to jam with the individual sequences in real time. It has 10 Samplers each with its own sequencer and many adjustable parameters. It uses standard WAV files and ships with a large library of samples, but users can easily add their own. There is also an FX section which includes a Compressor/Limiter, Delay, SoundScaper, Flanger/Filter and Drive as well as many Modulation options including randomizers, a Modulation sequencer and an LFO.
Black Magic looks deceptively simple on the surface and can be used easily without delving into the details too much, but underneath there is a vast amount of tweakable parameters. Each sampler has its own settings for 14 parameters such as Cutoff, Resonance, Volume, Pan, Pitch, Release, etc., but there are also a set of Master controls for these settings which are additive/subtractive. These knobs provide instant gratification and can change the sound dramatically as well as being automated (like most controls in BM). There is also an overview Mixer screen which allows seeing all levels for 12 of the Sampler parameters and allows a great way to randomize just the pitches or cutoff values for instance.
Each Sampler has its own 32-step sequencer which can be triggered via MIDI and has adjustable step size, which allows for complex overlapping rhythms to be constructed. There is also a useful alternative to randomizing the sequence which uses a pre-defined set of presets which is randomly selected. This allows much more usable rhythms to be created as opposed to the standard randomizers (which are also available). Another useful feature is that Octave 4 and 5 of the MIDI controller affects a selectable parameter such as Master Pitch or Master Cutoff in real time which adds a whole new world of creative possibilities, for example playing a tune with the current loop.
There is a Kit feature which allows grouping installed samples together and saving as a kit, this then allows quick selection of those samples in the future. The Kit screen provides a useful overview of all current samples where they can also be selected and randomized. Samples are stored in folders, and those folders appear as banks within Black Magic and there is the ability to lock the bank. So, for example, selecting Snare drums and locking the bank will mean that when randomizing only Snare Drums will be selected for this sampler slot.
The FX Section has Soundscaper which is a diverse delay/reverb style effect, a Stereo BPM Delay, and a Flanger which can be switched to Filter instead, the LFO has a large amount of wave shapes available. Each sampler has its own set of sends for these effects. There is also a Compressor, Limiter and Noise Gate which happen just before the Master Volume Level, the compressor is great for a heavy compression sound that is popular these days.
Black Magic Lite is the free little sister of Black Magic. Even though Lite has fewer features than the big version, all of the important ones have been retained, so it is a fully functional synth in its own right. Upgrading to the big version, you will get a large collection of included samples, the ability to use your own and a hard compressor, amongst many other things.
