IIEQ Pro CM is a free equalizer VST, Audio Unit plugin developed by Computer Music. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

IIEQ Pro CM is part of the DDMF CM EQ Pack, which is free with Computer Music magazine issue 179. The pack contains two equaliser plug-ins for PC and Mac, in VST and AU formats: IIEQ Pro CM is an all-purpose EQ, whereas LP10 is focused more on mastering, offering linear phase and variable phase operation. They are based on DDMF’s commercial IIEQ Pro and LP10 plug-ins.

Common features of both plug-ins:

  • Six bands of EQ.
  • Click and drag on graph to create and edit EQ bands.
  • Create/edit EQ bands directly via lower parameter strip.
  • A/B comparison.
  • Adjustable graph scale (-5:5dB, -10:10dB, -20:20dB).
  • Use mouse-wheel to adjust band Q.
  • Hold Ctrl to “auto-listen” to the band.
  • Output gain dial.

IIEQ Pro CM features:

  • 19 filter types in total: 12 standard, 7 Butterworth.
  • Analogue- and digital-style peak/bell filters.
  • Low and high shelving filters.
  • 12dB/24dB low- and high-pass filters.
  • Band-pass filtering with compensated/normalised mode.
  • All-pass filter.
  • 7 Butterworth filters, with up to 10th order operation, for super-steep filtering.
  • Unusual Butterworth band-shelf filter – like a flat-topped bell/peak.
  • Series or parallel operation (useful in conjunction with all-pass mode, for phasing effects).

The full, paid-for versions of IIEQ Pro and LP10 offer the following additional features:

  • 10 bands instead of 6.
  • Built-in spectrum analyser.
  • Stereo and mid/side operation.

Ice9 Automute

Ice9 Automute free other-utility by Cerberus Audio

Ice9 Automute is a free audio and studio utility VST, Audio Unit plugin developed by Cerberus Audio. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

Cerberus Audio Ice9 Automute is a free utility which protects your speakers, your ears, and your nerves from dangerously loud output levels.

Ice9 Automute’s soft-muting function will begin to attenuate the gain before a single sample over the threshold has passed. Instantaneous radical attenuation will occur if the threshold is exceeded by a severe and potentially dangerous amount.

Ice9’s soft muting uses Volt’s technology to let you know you’re over the limit in a gentle, pleasant manner, without the rude click which a hard mute-unmute would cause.

Best of all, Ice9 Automute is free.

Features:

  • Automatic Reset.
  • Adjustable Threshold.
  • Double Precision Internal Processing.
  • Soft or Instant Attenuation (depending on the severity of the overload) to mute using our Volt Technology.

hypercyclic

hypercyclic free studio-tool by mucoder

hypercyclic is a free studio tools VST, Audio Unit plugin developed by mucoder. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

What is hypercyclic?:

  • an LFO-driven MIDI arpeggiator, gate effect and step sequencer.
  • for mangling sustained MIDI input chords.
  • the output of which can then drive other MIDI instruments.
  • acts either as a VST or Audio Unit plugin for your DAW, or as a standalone application.
  • the original hypercyclic won 2nd place in the KVRAudio.com Developer Challenge ’07.
  • the sweetspot for hypercyclic is the narrow border between chaos and regularity. Or, in other words, how to induce a certain pleasant randomness and syncopation, yet forcing everything to align again on the bar or beat boundaries.

How do you use it?:

  • the main use for hypercyclic is to generate MIDI that can be recorded and/or sent to other plugins. However it also features a simple built-in synth for testing purposes.
  • you can use two tempo-synced LFOs to modulate various parameters for creating interesting rhythmic effects and chord variations.
  • a unique feature is the possiblity to modulate the sequencer step size itself, which is useful for creating glitchy stuttering effects.
  • another thing you can use is a groove function for playing slightly off the beat. The groove parameters can also be modulated over time by the LFOs, adding to the rhythmic variation.

Now with 64-bit support.
