TAN

TAN free compressor by Acustica Audio

TAN is a free compressor VST, Audio Unit, AAX plugin developed by Acustica Audio. Compatible OS(s): Windows, macOS.

Acustica is pleased to introduce TAN compressor based on CORE8 with a classic analog VCA compression. TAN it is a very versatile tool to provide a lot of possibilities to shape the sound with gorgeous graphical user interface.

In TAN you will find the most common compressors parameters like attack, release, threshold, ratio, dry/wet and gain, to allow you an extremely wide range of adjustments, but the exciting news is what we call “ShMod”, a compressor shape control for the attack behavior that allows you to fine-tune the attack shape so you can really customize the attack behavior for any audio source.

Preamp Section:
• Hardware preamp simulation (PRE): on and off.

Compressor Section:
• Threshold: from -64 dB to +0 dB.
• Ratio: from 2, 4 and 8.
• Attack: from 0.1 ms to 30 ms.
• Release: from 0.1 sec. to 1.6 sec.
• SHMod (adjustable attack shape): from 0 to 4.
• Gain: from 0 dB to 24 dB.
• Dry/Wet (parallel compressor): from 0 to 100%.

Formats Supported:
• Support operation systems: OS X and Windows.
• Supported plug-in formats: VST2, AAX, and AU.
• Supported architectures: 32 and 64-bits.

Price and Availability:
• free. Available as a digital download immediately after website registration.

About Acqua Effect plug-ins:
An Acqua plug-in is a stand-alone skinned Nebula library, in other words it is a software product developed as a parametrization of one or more Nebula’s instances. Parametrization is achieved using the script languages proprietary to Acustica Audio and does not require external tools and compilers.

About Acustica Audio:
Acustica Audio is a company that is active in the field of information technology and audio engineering. The company’s goal is to provide the most authentic reproduction of sampled vintage gear and other high-end hardware devices. Over the years it has become well known for audio plug-ins, by manufacturing its own software products and marketing them both in Italy and worldwide. Acustica technology is based on a software engine of DSP (Digital Signal Processing) developed by Acustica Audio that emulates other DSPs, by modelling them through a proprietary sampling technique. Unlike the audio sampler, which is an electronic musical instrument able to capture and reproduce audio samples, Acustica technology can sample and emulate the behavior of an audio processor, by reproducing its harmonic response, harmonic distortion and dynamic response as time and other external variables (like user controls) change.

TAL-Vocoder

TAL-Vocoder free vocoder by Togu Audio Line

TAL-Vocoder is a free vocoder VST, Audio Unit, AAX plugin developed by Togu Audio Line. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS, Linux.

TAL-Vocoder is a vintage vocoder emulation with 11 bands that emulates the sound of vocoders from the early 80s. It includes analog-modeled components in combination with digital algorithms such as the SFFT (Short-Time Fast Fourier Transform). It includes an envelope follower for each of the eleven bands.

This vocoder is optimized for voice processing and includes some algorithms for consonants to make the voice more intelligible. The carrier signal is a VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) with a Pulse, Saw, Noise and Sub Osc. But it’s also possible to use the left stereo input as carrier, this way every sound source can be used as carrier signal.

Features:

  • 11-band vocoder with adjustable volume for every band.
  • Adjustable harmonic control adds harmonics to the carrier signal.
  • Adjustable speed of the envelope follower (smudge).
  • Carrier VCO (saw, pulse, sub osc, noise – poly and mono mode with portamento).
  • Mode for external carrier signals (left input channel as carrier, right channel as modulator).
  • Stereo chorus.
  • 14 presets, including presets from Dynamix II.
  • Manual.
  • All sample rates supported.
  • Classic vocoder sound.

TAL-USEq

TAL-USEq free eq by Togu Audio Line

TAL-USEq is a free equalizer VST, Audio Unit plugin developed by Togu Audio Line. Compatible OS(s): Windows, macOS.

TAL-USEq is especially designed after some tilt EQs from the 1970s. This type of EQ allows you to adjust the audio material without changing the character of a sound to much. It’s an easy way to make an audio signal sound darker or brighter with only one knob. The bass lift knob is a special addition that boosts or attenuates bass frequencies below 300Hz.

Features:

  • 8 dB low / high shelf filter.
  • 12 dB bass lift filter at 300 Hz.
  • Variable center frequency (100 – 10,000Hz).
  • Adjustable bandwidth (q: 0.1 to 2.0).
  • Volume knob.
  • On/Off switch.
  • Very easy to use.
