Twin Reeler

Twin Reeler is a free vibrato VST, VST3 plugin developed by KLOTOID Audio Effects. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b.

Twin Reeler – The Free Vibrato Effect Plugin

The Twin Reeler is a modulation effect, producing a reeling stereo vibrato by twisting the time scale with a different modulation function on each output channel. The plugin can be used as a simple vibrato on a mono signal path, add space to mono-to-stereo signals with moderate parameter settings, or create lurching chaos by turning the knobs up.

The feature that distinguishes Twin Reeler from a standard vibrato plugin is the random modulation modes. Both width and depth can be set to take random values throughout the processing. This means that the modulation curves will change during play-back, making the vibrato effect more varied and unpredictable compared to a standard vibrato plugin. Of course you can also select to use Twin Reeler in fixed mode to achieve a classic vibrato effect, with a constant modulation curve.

Parameters

Width min/max

Minimum and maximum width of the modulation function. Higher values will result in a slower vibrating effect.

Width random/fixed mode

In random mode, the width of each modulation phase will be randomized to a value between current min and max parameter values. In fixed mode, width is constant and takes the current value of the max parameter.

Depth min/max

Minimum and maximun depth of the modulation function. Higher values will result in a deeper vibrato effect, altering the pitch of the sound more.

Depth random/fixed mode

In random mode, the depth of each modulation phase will be randomized to a value between current min and max parameter values. In fixed mode, depth is constant and takes the current value of the max parameter.

Synch on/off

By default, each output channel will have its own independent modulation function. When synchronization is turned on, one common function is used for all output channels.

Synch offset

When synchronization is turned on, the common modulation function can be offset between the output channels.

Tunefish 4

Tunefish 4 is a free software synthesizer developed by Brain Control. Available format(s): VST, VST3, Audio Unit for Windows 64b, macOS.

Tunefish 4 was developed as a smaller replacement of Tunefish 3 with roughly the same power, it is however not compatible and uses different synthesis algorithms. It was developed for the 64k intro “Turtles all the way down” by demoscene group Brain Control and is available as VST/AU.

Features:

Improved UI compared to TF3 which will visualize all modulations.

Uses an additive synthesis based wavetable generator.

The Noise generator can produce any frequency of noise with any bandwidth.

Lowpass, Highpass, Bandpass and an improved Notch filter are available.

2 ADSRs and 2 LFOs that can be linked to pretty much any important knob using a modulation matrix.

Supported effects are Flanger, Chorus, Distortion, Delay, Reverb, EQ and Formant.

The effects stack allows for any permutation of up to 10 effects.

Tube Saturator Vintage

Tube Saturator Vintage is a free overdrive and saturation VST, VST3, Audio Unit, AAX plugin developed by Wave Arts. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

Tube Saturator Vintage is a free reissue of the original Tube Saturator.

Tube Saturator Vintage uses circuit simulation technology to faithfully reproduce the sound of a dual triode preamp. While it sounds great, the circuit simulation technology is very CPU intensive, that’s why Wave Arts developed its successor, Tube Saturator 2, vastly more efficient, nearly identical in simulation accuracy, and with added features. However, some users prefer the sound of the original and requested it, so they’ve re-released it as a free plug.

Tube Amp

Tube Amp is a free overdrive and saturation VST, VST3, Audio Unit, AAX plugin developed by Voxengo. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

Tube Amp is an audio effect plug-in that applies asymmetric tube triode overdrive usually found in single-tube microphone pre-amp boxes. The sound this plug-in produces varies from a mild “warm” overdrive to a fuzzy distortion. Beside that, Tube Amp includes a -6 dB/oct low-pass filter that is built-in into plug-in’s valve modeling equation, and can be used to imitate a lower-quality tube triode.

Tube Amp also features all standard advanced Voxengo plug-in features like full multi-channel operation and built-in oversampling.

Features:

Asymmetric tube triode overdrive.

Multi-channel processing.

Internal channel routing.

Channel grouping.

Mid/side processing.

Up to 8x oversampling.

64-bit floating point processing.

Preset manager.

Undo/redo history.

A/B comparisons.

Contextual hint messages.

Triple EQ

Triple EQ is a free equalizer VST, VST3, Audio Unit, RTAS, AAX, DirectX plugin developed by Blue Cat Audio. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

Blue Cat’s Triple EQ is an easy-to-use 3-band semi-parametric equalizer. It includes a low shelf filter, a high shelf filter and a boost/cut peak filter. Its wide range of gain (+/-40 dB per band) and bandwidth (.01 to 5 Octave) makes it very versatile. The three filters are linked together so that when you change the center frequency or the bandwidth, the three filter parameters are changed accordingly: you can change the entire equalizer characteristics with one single mouse click making any equalization task very easy and intuitive.

The graph shows the computed frequency response of the plug-in, so that you can exactly know how your signal is processed. This is not an approximated or “ideal” response curve based on the controls of the user interface, but the exact computed frequency response of the filter, which makes this plug-in a true WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) equalizer.

Main Features:

WYSIWYG 3-band semi-parametric equalizer.

Filters designed after analog circuits.

+-40 dB range on each band.

Automatic gain compensation.

No latency.

Real time display of the frequency response.

Native DSP code for optimal performance.

Random preset generation: auto generate custom presets with one single click.

‘Smooth Update Mechanism’: real-time parameter modification with zipper-free parameter updates. Hear absolutely no ‘click’ when playing with parameters.

Full automation support (all parameters can be automated, with smooth and continuous update).

Any sample rate supported.

DirectX version: supports 32-bits floating point as well as 16 / 8 bits PCM audio streams.

Triple EQ supports “Blue Cat’s Skinning language”, allowing you to customize the plug-in to your own needs.

TrapezoidSynth

TrapezoidSynth is a free software synthesizer developed by Uhhyou. Available format(s): VST3 for Windows 64b, macOS, Linux.

Note: Currently Linux build doesn’t display GUI due to some problem related to VSTGUI. For Linux, LV2 version is available at https://github.com/ryukau/LV2Plugins.

Note: I don’t have mac so macOS build is not tested. If you find bug, please report it to https://github.com/ryukau/VSTPlugins.

TrapezoidSynth is a monophonic synthesizer equipped with two trapezoid oscillator which is piecewise function of PTR ramp function. In other words, it’s just a fancy version of tri-pulse oscillator:

Equipped with 2 trapezoid oscillator.

Pitch drift with white noise for oscillator 1.

Slope and pulse width controls for trapezoid shape.

Phase modulation to oscillator 1. Feedback knob is just another phase modulation.

Up to 8 order low-pass filter with saturation.

Can be modulate filter cutoff with Oscillator 1 output.

2 ADSR envelopes for output gain and filter. Filter envelope can be used to modulate oscillator pitch in octave.

2 AD envelopes for various modulation.

Retrigger control for all envelopes.

1 LFO for oscillator 1 and filter cutoff.

3 types of pitch slide. Always, only when sustain, reset to 0 Hz when first note on or last note off.

Pitch slide time offset between oscillator 1 and 2.

LV2 version is used in demo video. Only difference between VST3 version and LV2 version is small details in GUI.
