Free AAX Plugins & Softwares

fa SampleDelay

fa SampleDelay is a free phase aligner VST, VST3, Audio Unit, AAX plugin developed by forward audio. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

fa SampleDelay is a simple, but powerful effect Plugin for small phase alignment tasks in guitar, drum or vocal recordings. It’s main purpose is to solve time differences occurring in multi microphone setups and furthermore reduce horrible sounding comb filter effects (often called phase issues). Nevertheless, you can also apply interesting haas delay effects, compensate plugin latencies introduced by other Plugins or intentionally create comb filter effects to create colorful filter textures:

Sample accurate time delays (0 – 100.000 Samples).

Fully scalable user interface.

A/B comparisons.

Input delays in 4 different units.

Min and Max Delay setting for narrow delay spans.

Unique flexible user interface.

Available as VST2/VST3/AU for Windows & Mac (32-bit and 64-bit).

Emissary

Emissary is a free amp simulator VST, VST3, Audio Unit, AAX plugin developed by Ignite Amps. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

The Emissary is a digital emulation of a custom dual channel guitar tube amplifier. It has been developed to accurately model its real hardware counterpart, built for Ryan Huthnance (The Seer / Gaped / Chrome Bison / Emissary Studios) by Ignite Amps, in 2014.

The Emissary is a no compromise custom amp built for the kill. Featuring a very versatile clean channel that ranges from pristine cleans to slightly overdriven tones and a mean lead channel designed for serious bone-crushing distortions, it offers a very wide tonal palette for the modern metal musician.

Every single component on the signal path of the real analog circuit has been taken into account and modeled in the best possible way to match the original sound, keeping an eye on CPU performance and real-time playability at the same time.

The plug-in GUI has been 3D modeled and rendered by Voger Design, in order to resemble the real amplifier as much as possible.

The Emissary is meant to be used as a virtual guitar amplifier for live playing and jamming, tracking or mixing inside hosts capable of AAX, AU VST or VST3 Plug-Ins support.

Elysia niveau filter

Elysia niveau filter is a free filter and eq VST, VST3, Audio Unit, RTAS, AAX plugin developed by Plugin Alliance. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

The frequency balance

Get the niveau filter section of our famous mpressor plugin – its free! Add punch to muffled snares, reduce the harshness from active pickups, create some wonderful Dub and LoFi sounds…

This filter is a specialist in changing the overall sonic character of a signal with ease. It features two comprehensive controllers and is capable of producing convincing results in no time at all. Whenever a classic shelving filter would be too limited and a fully parametric filter would be too much, the niveau filter is the perfect tool.

Description

Its main function is to change the proportions between high and low frequencies. The principle is quite similar to a pair of scales: Dependent on the gain setting around a variable center frequency, the high frequencies are boosted whereas the low frequencies are attenuated (or vice versa) at the same time.

The center frequency can be shifted continuously between 26 Hz and 2.2 kHz or between 260 Hz and 22 kHz respectively (when the x10 switch is activated). The characteristics of the filter change in the extreme positions of the EQ Gain controller: The fully counter-clockwise setting will give you a low pass filter; fully clockwise position will result in a high pass filter.

Elastik

Elastik is a free sampler VST, VST3, Audio Unit, AAX plugin developed by Ueberschall. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

Elastik is a flexible studio tool for the creation of professional music productions. It powers all of Ueberschall’s sample libraries.

Elastik offers a whole range of desirable features:

– The ReTune tab in the Loopeye editor gives you complete control over the scale and key of any tonal loop and can even work with polyphonic material. The ReTune algorithm, developed by zplane.development, analyzes polyphonic and monophonic sound material in realtime and transform it to the desired key and scale while retaining high audio quality.

– If you want complete control over the time and pitch stretching process, the Time tab within the Loopeye editor allows you to choose between six different algorithms, from the simple and efficient PitchSpeed to the high quality ProV3 which gives you the maximum scope for varying pitch and tempo while minimizing audio artifacts.

– Elastik includes a random sound replacement function called Inspire: one click on the Inspire button and Elastik will select an alternative loop. You can define which soundbanks will be used in the Inspire tool with the new Inspire browser. Now, with Elastik 3.1 you can also chose between Wide or Normal mode. With Wide Mode the Inspire button will select loops not only from the same instrument but from a wider instrument group, for example basses, guitars or vocals. This way, an acoustic bass may be replaced by an electric or synth bass.

– Elastik’s central Loopeye forms a detailed loop-editing tool. A large number of parameters can be adjusted, including volume and pan, reverse, formant, filter and resample. Each parameter can be altered on a per-slice basis.

Elastik’s key Features include
+ innovative Loopeye functions
+ Retune: polyphonic scale and key shifting
+ timestretch and pitchshift in best quality
+ fast browser features (multiple filter search, tagging)
+ prelisten in BPM, key and scale sync
+ sequence mode (loads of editing features per slice)
+ random sound replacement via Inspire
+ parameter automation
+ realtime sync to host
+ multiple outs
+ bounce of original and modified loops
+ resizable window format
+ multiple soundbank management.
