StompBox Lite

StompBox Lite is a free multi fx and delay and reverb and chorus plugin developed by 4PocketsAudio. Compatible OS(s): iOS.

StompBox Lite turns your iPad into a flexible Multi FX Processor which comes with 3 free effects; Delay, Reverb, Chorus and a further 16 Effects to choose from in the Online store.

StompBox Lite supports AudioBus and Apple’s Inter-App Audio making an excellent general purpose audio processing tool for all musicians, not just guitarists.

With StompBox you get the best of both worlds, a rack of professional sounding stereo effects (with far more control than simple foot pedals) and a foot controller to access a tuner and all your patches.

Simply listen through a pair of headphones, or attach to an external amplifier or hifi to truly experience the program in all its glory.

Once you have built up a library of patches, you can use the virtual foot controller to quickly and easily move between patches. The Virtual Foot controller gives instant access to all patch parameters and amp settings, with the ability to enable and disable individual effects at the touch of a button. If you want to modify an effect parameter, simply scroll the effect rack into view and make your changes.

In-App options include:

Media Player – Load your favorite MP3s and play along, you can even slow down the music without effecting pitch so you can play along at your own pace.

4 Track Recorder – Record your own backing track.

Loop Station – Record your own loops.

Features:

Guitar and Bass Multi FX Processor.

16 Unique Effects available in In-App Store.

7 Types of Distortion via Distortion In-App.

Chain up to 12 Simultaneous Effects.

Media Player with Time Stretching (In-App Purchase).

4 Track Loop Recorder (In-App Purchase).

Metronome/Chromatic Tuner.

Stereo Routing.

Save 12 banks of 6 patches.

Virtual Foot Controller.

Virtual Whammy Pedal.

Tap Tempo.

Compatible with range of hardware interfaces.

3 Unique Skins.

Many guitar apps use a form of Amp Modelling which in most cases is just fancy form of EQ. This is great for electric guitars, but not so good for acoustic. StompBox allows various amp EQs both via the PreAmp and additional effects, but the important thing for acoustic guitar users is that these EQs can be completely bypassed. This is where StompBox really shines, giving a faithful reproduction of acoustic instruments. This also means StompBox can be used on keyboards too.

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.

SoundScaper

SoundScaper is a free multi fx and delay and echo and vocoder VST plugin developed by Homegrown Sounds. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

SoundScaper is capable of Reverb, Echo and Comb effects. It was designed primarily as way of creating atmospheric landscapes in the tradition of past HGSounds creations. It has almost infinite feedback time for many modes, and so is capable of producing rich and complex drones when used with a continuous sound source. It can also be used as a traditional reverb or echo suitable for any application.

SoundScaper has a diverse range of sonic possibilities using 300 datasets of comb/allpass timings, each providing a different effect model. Each of these modes can then be set to one of 33 different Multipliers (Styles) which take it through tight comb based effects, to reverbs and finally echo banks.

As with all HGS plug-ins, instant gratification is built in with a randomization system that will always result in a unique and usable patch, plus randomizers for each individual section. The plugin was initially based on Freeverb, though has been expanded and highly optimized using SSE making it a lightweight plugin with a small CPU footprint.

Features:

300 different Timing Models.

Number of Combs switchable between 1 and 8.

Number of All-passes switchable between 0 and 4.

33 Styles which multiply the selected Mode Timings by increasing amounts.

Size – Sets the feedback level of the Effect.

Width – Sets the Stereo Spread of the Effect.

Damp – Sets how much the signal is damped.

MIx – Sets level between Dry and Wet.

Master Volume – Sets the Master Output Level.

Randomizers – A master Randomize for complete Randomization as well as local randomizers.

Default – Instantly sets the patch to its default parameters.

Freeze – Will Freeze the output when clicked, Dry signals pass through.
