Free VST 3 Plugins & Softwares

Speculumfree

Speculumfree is a free multi fx and delay and echo and chorus and flanger and phaser and filter VST, VST3, Audio Unit plugin developed by Decade Bridge. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

Speculumfree is a delay/comb filter effect plugin.

Speculum’s state can be switched between delay and comb filter. The resulting sound is fed through a resonant low pass filter.

The delay rate can be finely adjusted through the divide function. This gives speculum the ability to produce flanging, chorus and phasing effects when automated.

SpectrumAnalyzer

SpectrumAnalyzer is a free spectrum analyzer VST, VST3, Audio Unit, AAX plugin developed by SIR Audio Tools. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

SpectrumAnalyzer is a spectrum analyzer plugin that offers a lot of opportunities to display the spectral content of your audio material, which helps you create a better mix. SpectrumAnalyzer comes in two editions, a free and a full version.

SpectrumAnalyzer has a FFT (Fast-Fourier-Transform) and an analog-style (parallel band-pass IIR filter) engine, both of which can run simultaneously. So you can benefit from the more accurate time resolution of the band-pass filters and the better frequency resolution of the FFT at the same time. Check out the intelligent peak-detection, which automatically detects resonant frequency peaks in the signal. Use the snapshot function to easily save the current state of your analyzer, so you can compare the spectral profile of your current project with other songs. SpectrumAnalyzer also includes a VU-Meter (with peak and RMS measurement) and a Stereo Correlation Meter.

SpectrumAnalyzer features an auxiliary feature that makes it possible to send audio from one SpectrumAnalyzer instance into other instances. This is a quite powerful tool, because you can set up as much aux-sends as you want, and then you can easily switch between them as input source. For example, you have different subgroups and want to see the spectrum of all of them in one SpectrumAnalyzer instance: put a single SpectrumAnalyzer instance on every track and activate the aux-send. Now you can comfortably switch between these aux-channels in your master SpectrumAnalyzer instance. In the full version, you can open up to 4 slots in one plugin instance.

SpectrumAnalyzer has nearly endless adjustment possibilities. To name a few: FFT-Size & Window. Number of Bands/Filter-Steepness and Bandwidth (analog style bandpass analyzer). Time Resolution & Release speed. Optional Peak Hold and intelligent Peak Detection. Spectral RMS with adjustable integration. Mid and Side Signal detection. Adjustable Colors, two different spectral smoothing algorithms. Display Range and Slope/dB. Adjustable GUI size and scaling. Optional gradient and shadow effects.

SpacePort ’77 for SampleTank 4

SpacePort 77 for SampleTank 4 is a free software synthesizer developed by IK Multimedia. Available format(s): VST, VST3, Audio Unit, AAX for Windows 64b, macOS.

Expand your sound collection with two iconic synthesizers from long, long ago, to create sounds far, far away from the ordinary. The new Spaceport ’77 Collection welcomes two familiar keyboard characters, the OB-1 and CP-30 to give your tracks some ’70s and ’80s sci-fi flavor.

Newly recorded and programmed to take full advantage of all the features of SampleTank 4’s new sound engine, this expansion library adds 100 new instrument presets and 3.9 GB of samples covering two classic analog keyboards. A great complement to both the modern synth sounds and classic electric piano sounds already in SampleTank 4’s library, these new sounds further expand your sonic library.

The Oberheim OB-1 is an early monophonic analog synthesizer released in 1978 with two discrete oscillators and suboscillators, along with a noise generator. A discrete lowpass filter can be either 12dB or 24dB per octave, for both a classic Oberheim 2-pole sound and the legendary Minimoog 4-pole sound. Notable users of the OB-1 were the composer and musician Vince Clarke and the bands Tangerine Dream, Rush, and The Grid.

The Yamaha CP-30 is an electronic piano from 1976 that uses analog synthesis sound generation. The CP-30 has a Decay control knob that can be used to simultaneously adjust attack and decay parameters not unlike those of a regular synthesizer’s ADSR envelope. Two tone-generation systems, each with independent decay control, let users like Herbie Hancock, Fleetwood Mac and The Cars conjure up unique sounds using modern synthesizer techniques.

SPECS:

Over 3.9 GB of content.

100 new instruments.

Sci-fi inspired analog keyboard sounds.

Free for SampleTank 4 users for a limited time.

v3.1 Updates:

-New graphics; background, buttons, and arrangements.

-Fixed LFO speed issue.

-File cleanup to address MAC/Graphics issues.

Soft Glow Organ 3 is a Rompler that uses samples from a 1960s electric organ and synthesizer-style controls to produce warm sounds with modern effects.

Sample (from my grandparent’s vintage home organ) plays on note press. 3 voices, amplifier envelope, filter envelope, hp/lp filters, reverb, boost (which can be chained after the filters), LFO (tempo-synced) which can be sent to the sample pitch (vibrato), filter pitch, and pan, mixer with an assignable volume knob, and a panel of extra controls (including mod wheel and a fine tuner) hidden under the reverb controls.

(Soft Glow Organ 3 differs from Soft Glow Organ v1 and v2. SGO 3 is 64-bit and now works with MAC).

SnareBuzz

SnareBuzz is a free software synthesizer developed by Wavesfactory. Available format(s): VST, VST3, Audio Unit, AAX for Windows 64b, macOS.

SnareBuzz is an audio effect plugin that emulates the wires of a snare buzzing when there’s another instrument playing near.

Why do you want to emulate this effect if every engineer in the world has tried to get rid of it? Short: because it’s cool! Long: because it doesn’t exist in the DAW environment, it’s something that we are all familiar with, and if you’re really used to play live with a band it’s weird not hearing it when recording instruments separately.

Do you imagine a Led Zeppelin recording with Bonzo’s snare not buzzing?
“Music is people playing live in the same room with eye contact and feeling each other”.

Attack and release controls that set how the snare reacts to the incoming signal, HP and LP filters to shape the sound of it, room ambience for a more natural feel, overall gain, panning of just the effect and dry/wet controls.

Insert it on the bass track, adjust the mix knob just a tiny bit and hear how these little wires bring life to your mix. You’ll miss it when it’s bypassed.
