Wah-Wah MIDI remote controller

Wah-Wah MIDI remote controller is a free wah wah and filter plugin developed by beat bars. Compatible OS(s): iOS.

Control your MIDI devices using your lips.
Just say “wah wah” and send corresponding MIDI events wirelessly.

Using your camera instead of an expression pedal or MIDI controller knob provides the ability to use any external AudioUnit/VST effects in a whole new way.
Now you can control the VST plug-in settings in real-time without using your hands.

For Guitarists
Why not to change the plug-in parameters in the Amp Simulator while playing using your lips?
Now the wah-wah pedal or any other effect will be within reach of your iPhone.

For Keyboardist
You don’t have an expression pedal slot on your keyboard?
Now you can use the Wah-Wah app to control volume, modulation, pitch or any other parameter hands-free. You get one more place to work with effects.

It is a fascinating step into exploring accessibility in music-making.
You will discover that our face controller may be more intuitive and easier to learn than a foot pedal.

W1 Limiter

W1 Limiter is a free limiter VST, VST3, Audio Unit, RTAS plugin developed by 4Front Technologies. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

W1 Limiter is a “brickwall limiter” that is a clone of Waves L1-Ultramaximizer, with “identical output” and an approximation of Waves L2.

Waves’ L1 (and thus W1 – for compatibility reasons) uses three times longer actual release time than the standard RT60 metric. This means that if you set 50ms release in the limiter, it will actually yield with 150ms standard RT60 release time, but users of L1 should be familiar with it.

Starting from version 2.0 W1 Limiter also contains adaptive release logic. The author tried to emulate Waves L2, however could only do this approximately. Also, unlike Waves, W1 allows changing release time while in adaptive mode.

Waves IDR dithering is not emulated.

W1 Limiter (BBA)

W1 Limiter (BBA) is a free limiter VST plugin developed by BetabugsAudio. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

The BetabugsAudio edition of George Yohng’s W1 Limiter takes the same limiting engine and gives it a new interface. The W1 interface follows the BetabugsAudio tradition of simplicity and elegance, while providing an inspiring appearance that matches the plug-in’s form to its function.

To further modulate things you have 2 Envelopes and 2 LFOs that can be individually assigned to different parameters and some built-in effects such as Drive, Delay and Chorus.

VSTplug whiteblack

VSTplug whiteblack is a free saturation and eq VST plugin developed by King Oz Records. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

This is a beta, but it’ll be sure to become a fan favorite.

This is the white black, the simplest, smoothest way to make a vocal pop. The knobs are still being made right, this is a beta but worth a try.

VSTplug is a coalition of programmers getting together to release the most elite of VST plugins available on the internet.

Whiteblack is an experimental design that adds mid and side as well as width and saturation effects to provide a method which makes vocals (especially) sound a lot better. But, since making this beta there are new VSTplug developments which should allow the passive addition of both mid and side, meaning that stereo need not be affected and any instance of phase cancellation can be altogether avoided.

Please stay tuned for updates to this product.

VSTplug freq

VSTplug freq is a free equalizer VST plugin developed by King Oz Records. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

The Freq is one of the better EQ’s made by Phonix (Nick Johnstone), and I like it a great deal. But I wanted to make something like the FL studio EQ with a glossy smooth sound, especially due to the fact that it wasn’t very 4k or 8k screen friendly. This re-make makes that possible to a degree but the code base has limitations and in that regard this beta will be the last of the line.

The first version of freq is found here:
https://rekkerd.org/nix-plugs/

And the second version is found here:
http://www.phonicsaudio.com/

I think Nick for making this great EQ and I wanted to show My appreciation for this effect by providing this useful tool for fans of the EQ who have larger screens and don’t like fiddling with knobs.

This is a beta with no known issues. The issue in coding it right now is setting a max q-bell width maximum. It doesn’t affect any other bands but the bass. Be careful not to make that q-width (resonance) too high.

Stays at about 1% CPU usage.

Stay tuned for a final update which makes the operation a bit smoother and has a different preset count which should allow automation.
