NyquistEq

NyquistEq free eq by Smart Electronix

NyquistEq is a free equalizer VST plugin developed by Smart Electronix. Compatible OS(s): Windows, macOS.

By Magnus @ Smart Electronix.

NyquistEq is a paragraphic equalizer that does not suffer from the treble warping that most digital equalizers do. Also it never clicks, and it handles deep bass well.

The reason it’s called NyquistEq is because it’s designed to be a filter that sounds good all the way up to the Nyquist frequency (if sampling rate is 44.1 kHz then nyquist is at 22.05 kHz).

NUCLEAR CRANIUM

NUCLEAR CRANIUM free multi-fx | overdrive | saturation | bit-crusher | crunch | panner | pitch-shifter by Jack Dark

NUCLEAR CRANIUM is a free multi fx and overdrive and saturation and bit crusher and crunch and panner and pitch shifter VST plugin developed by Jack Dark. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

NUCLEAR CRANIUM is a free Multi-Band Distortion/FSU device designed to aid in the construction of experimental music and sounds.

NUCLEAR CRANIUM works by splitting the incoming source material using a Comb Filter into four frequency layers; Hi, Mid, Low, and Else. Then each frequency layer has its own proprietary FX units with which one alters or corrupts said frequency. Each frequency layer is then recombined into one unified new sound result. All frequency layers have PITCHSHIFTING, BITCRUSHING, WAVESHAPING, “CRUNCH”, BITCRUSH, “PSYCHODELAY”, and AUTOPAN FX units individually. As well as independent Wet/Dry settings and Volume/Amplification sliders as well. Each frequency layer can be turned ON or OFF to save CPU consumption. Nearly every single NUCLEAR CRANIUM parameter has its own individual internal completely reconfigurable LFO. NUCLEAR CRANIUM’s GUI is 100% verbosely tool-tipped for ease of learning.

Noisebud Filter

Noisebud Filter free filter by Noisebud

Noisebud Filter is a free filter VST plugin developed by Noisebud. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

Noisebud Filter consists of 4 filters (or 16, depending on how you look upon it), they are switchable between Lo pass, hi pass, band pass and band reject filter.

The signals from the four filters are wired in a parallel chain. Every filter can be controlled by three different LFOs where one is tempo-synced; one normal and one extremely slow (a sLoFO).

The LFO sections also have something Noisebud call VariFO. It adds another movement to the LFO and makes it less predictable.

Every filter has an invert button so that you can silence frequencies that collide during heavy LFO movements, this and the VariFO is probably what make Noisebud filter special.

Noise Gate is a free gate VST plugin developed by 7AMP Around Music Portal. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

This is a plug-in for audio noise reduction before or after applying other effects that may highly amplify noise like a distortion, compressor (sustainer, limiter) or a guitar amplifier at high gain. The main purpose is to cancel noise from a microphone or pickup of a music instrument like a guitar before sound processing rest. You hold your strings for a second or keep your microphone in silence, allowing the plug-in to study noise pattern, then you set filtering level.
