Multi Effect

OwlSim

OwlSim is a free multi fx and delay and distortion and flanger and phaser VST, Audio Unit plugin developed by Rebel Technology. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

The OwlSim is a VST simulation of the OWL programmable effects pedal.

We’ve just released a VST/AU plugin binary of the OWLSim in its current state featuring a bunch of different plugin effects that you can switch between.

We see VST generation as a pleasant side-effect of the OWL project that allows people to easily test and debug their code in a familiar environment – the main purpose of the OWLSim framework is developing patches for the hardware, so don’t expect a super-neat GUI and bear in mind that the only controllable parameters represent the physical knobs on the OWL pedal.

You can of course change all of this within the framework, so if you want to try making your own binaries, you can download the OWLSim from here:

https://github.com/pingdynasty/OwlSim

You’ll be able to look at the code from the current set of effects and then edit or build your own patches which will compile as your own VST binaries.

N.B. we also have an AU binary available at:

OttoVibe

OttoVibe is a free multi fx and tremolo and vibrato and panner and chorus and lfo Audio Unit plugin developed by Music Unfolding. Compatible OS(s): macOS.

OttoVibe is an auto/touch effect with MIDI control. OttoVibe works much like an envelope-controlled filter, except that instead of a filter, it has a modulation section. The envelope controls the rate and depth of the modulation effect.

OttoVibe includes a variety of effects including tremolo, vibrato, panning, and chorus. Altogether, OttoVibe has eight different types of effects. The effects can be dynamically manipulated using “touch” or expression pedal controls, much the same way a touch wah works. Even though OttoVibe tends to be more subtle than its siblings (OttoPhormant and OttoPhilter), it is very expressive.

NUCLEAR CRANIUM

NUCLEAR CRANIUM is a free multi fx and overdrive and saturation and bit crusher and crunch and panner and pitch shifter VST plugin developed by Jack Dark. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

NUCLEAR CRANIUM is a free Multi-Band Distortion/FSU device designed to aid in the construction of experimental music and sounds.

NUCLEAR CRANIUM works by splitting the incoming source material using a Comb Filter into four frequency layers; Hi, Mid, Low, and Else. Then each frequency layer has its own proprietary FX units with which one alters or corrupts said frequency. Each frequency layer is then recombined into one unified new sound result. All frequency layers have PITCHSHIFTING, BITCRUSHING, WAVESHAPING, “CRUNCH”, BITCRUSH, “PSYCHODELAY”, and AUTOPAN FX units individually. As well as independent Wet/Dry settings and Volume/Amplification sliders as well. Each frequency layer can be turned ON or OFF to save CPU consumption. Nearly every single NUCLEAR CRANIUM parameter has its own individual internal completely reconfigurable LFO. NUCLEAR CRANIUM’s GUI is 100% verbosely tool-tipped for ease of learning.
