Two Convolution Reverb Mixer + Parametric EQ

Two Convolution Reverb Mixer + Parametric EQ free reverb by Mark Robinson

Two Convolution Reverb Mixer + Parametric EQ is a free reverb VST, Audio Unit plugin developed by Mark Robinson. Compatible OS(s): macOS.

I made this for a project to do with convolution reverbs.

The plugin itself allows for two impulse responses. They can be mixed between as desired and each one can be gained separately.

This then goes through a parametric EQ (nothing particularly special I’m afraid.)

Both the reverb and EQ can be bypassed as desired as well.

I have not got any impulse responses to add to the project but it runs from any mp3 impulse.

Would love to hear feedback. Just playing around basically and want to share.

(The design is a bit rubbish but I’m not known for my designs)

This was made in SonicBirth 1.3.0.

Tunefish 4

Tunefish 4 free software-synthesizer by Brain Control

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.

Tunefish 3

Tunefish 3 free software-synthesizer by Brain Control

Tunefish 3 is a free software synthesizer developed by Brain Control. Available format(s): VST, Audio Unit for Windows 64b, macOS.

Tunefish 3 is a tiny virtual analogue synth that was originally developed for the demo scene or, to be more precise, for 64k intros of the demo group Brain Control. The synth itself is developed to fit into 10kb of compressed machine code, but they have decided to release the larger VSTi version of it for free to the public. The synth is an ongoing project under active development and feedback is very welcome.

Features:

  • Implemented as a VST instrument.
  • It uses a spline based oscillator that can by configured very dynamically. Additionally to that, it contains an additive synth.
  • Additionally to normal sine, sawtooth, triangle and pulse waveforms, it can do anything that is possible with 6 points and step/linear/spline interpolation.
  • The Noise generator can produce any frequency of noise with any bandwidth.
  • Lowpass, Highpass, Bandpass and Notch filters are available.
  • 4 ADSRs and 4 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.
