Free Audio Plugins & Softwares for macOS

Modelonia Player

Modelonia Player is a free software synthesizer developed by NUSofting. Available format(s): VST, Audio Unit for Windows, macOS.

Modelonia Player is a freeware plug-in which loads Modelonia presets and allows the user to tweak them with few but powerful controls.

Firstly the two “Mix & Morph” faders:

Fader 1: blends the output of the two main resonators of the Modelonia engine.

Fader 2: balances the cross-modulation between the resonators.

The middle position of the faders set always the original preset values. The two faders can be MIDI controlled using MIDI CC 45 and 46.

Moreover, the Modelonia Player features:

LFO 1 and LFO 2 rate controls.

Master Volume.

Master Pitch.

Octave transpose switch (one down).

Max Polyphony.

MIDI learn on knobs.

Mod8

Mod8 is a free multi fx and delay and echo Audio Unit plugin developed by Music Unfolding. Compatible OS(s): macOS.

The Collective 8 Audio Unit Bundle consists of three Audio Units: F8-V2, Mod8 and Res8. All three share a similar amplitude modulation sequence configuration. The audio stream is copied into 8 identical streams and an amplitude modulation pattern can be applied to each stream. The amplitude modulation patterns can be drawn to any shape, with an-easy-to use editing environment that automatically appears when hovering over the patterns with a mouse. Each stream also has filters or effects applied to it individually. The streams are then mixed back together.

The plug-ins:

F8-V2 has LFOs, which are applied to highpass, bandpass or lowpass filters.

Res8 has a choice of a driven, nonlinear, multi-stage filter or formant filters that can be independently applied to each audio stream.

Mod8 has a range of modulation effects like vibrato and ring modulation. It also has echo, reverb, sub-octave, and pitch shifting.

The result is up to 8 different effects running all at the same time, each with its own settings and amplitude sequences. This layering gives unlimited options to create incredibly interesting effects, from intricate and wild effects, to rich, textured reverb, echo, chorus-type effects. The Collective 8 Audio Units come with hundreds of presets. Amplitude modulation patterns can be copied and pasted within each AU or between them.

MNoiseGenerator

MNoiseGenerator is a free oscillator VST, VST3, Audio Unit, AAX plugin developed by MeldaProduction. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

MNoiseGenerator is a simple noise generator. It can be used as a testing generator for analyses or, thanks to the integrated modulators, for some creative effects:

4 global modulators – in each instance you can have up to 4 fully-featured modulators that can modulate any set of parameters including other modulators. In this way you can make the sound move in time, be less static and more interesting. Each modulator works as LFO, follower, MIDI/audio triggered ADSR envelopes, a pitch detector or even a combination.

M/S, single channel, up to 8 channels surround processing – MP plug-ins can handle not only mono and stereo signals, but also mono/stereo encoding, separate channels and encodings, and up to 8 channels of surround audio, which makes them ideal for audio production for movies, games, etc.

Easy-to-use user interface – MP products are designed to enhance the workflow. You can easily change all values, fine-tune each control in multiple ways. Easy orientation in a standardized GUI, textual editing and smooth visualization with almost unlimited zooming are standard.

MIDI controllers with MIDI learn – you can map any parameter to any MIDI controller or MIDI keyboard and control it realtime or record and automate it.

Very fast, optimized for SSE and SSE2 processors.

Global preset management and online preset exchange – using a title button you can save your settings (which are shared on the computer) so you can easily access these in other songs. Moreover all plug-ins can automatically share your presets and download presets of other users from MP servers (if this feature is enabled).

Fully automatable.

MJUC jr.

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

MJUC jr. is the little brother of the colorful MJUC.

It’s a variable-mu design with lots of vibe. capable of smooth leveling but also heavy pumping effects. With its two gain stages and interstage transformer simulation it offers a very deep and lively soundstage.
The three-position timing switch not only controls the attack and release times of the unit, but also the slew rate of the transformers and the timing of the other parts of the circuitry, that are directly influencing the generated harmonics (saturation).

MJUC jr. is a mix of Mk1 and Mk2 of its big brother MJUC. It’s combining very natural, dense compression characteristics of the early days of this type of compression with a more forward sounding approach and more harmonics creating of the variable-mu comps of the early 1960s.

MJUC jr. is freeware.

MjHarmonicPingOnly

MjHarmonicPingOnly is a free software synthesizer developed by Smart Electronix. Available format(s): VST for Windows, macOS.

By Magnus @ Smart Electronix.

MjHarmonicPingOnly lets you to explore “just intonation” and the harmonic overtone and undertone series. As the name suggests, it bears some similarity to Bram’s OnePingOnly.

Magnus created it as part of his ongoing exploration of just intonation and what’s beyond 12 tone equal temperament (the tuning that has been popular in the west for the last 100 years).
