  • Filter section.
  • Tremolo section.
  • Delay signal panning.
  • Stereo processing.
  • 64-bit floating point processing.
  • Preset manager.

Temper

Temper free distortion by Creative Intent

Temper is a free distortion VST, VST3, Audio Unit plugin developed by Creative Intent. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

Temper is a modern digital distortion plugin which combines a rich saturation curve and a unique phase distortion, with a resonant lowpass filter at the beginning of the signal chain and a feedback loop through the distortion stage.

Temper’s phase distortion offers unique harmonic excitement in the higher frequency components of your sound, bringing character and clarity to any element of your mix. And with a classic overdrive and versatile resonant lowpass pre-filter, Temper delivers a modern tone that brings an all new edge to your sound.

This is our first plugin, and the source code is available under GPLv3.

TDR VOS SlickEQ

TDR VOS SlickEQ free eq by Tokyo Dawn Labs

TDR VOS SlickEQ is a free equalizer VST, VST3, Audio Unit, AAX plugin developed by Tokyo Dawn Labs. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

TDR VOS SlickEQ is a mixing/mastering equalizer designed for ease of use, musical flexibility and impeccable sound.

Three (and a half) filter-bands arranged in a classic Low/Mid/High semi parametric layout offer fast and intuitive access to four distinct EQ modes, each representing a set of distinct EQ curves and behaviors. An elaborate auto gain option automatically compensates for changes of perceived-loudness during EQ operation. Optionally, SlickEQ allows to exclusively process either the stereo sum or stereo difference (i.e. “stereo width”) without additional sum/difference encoding.

In order to warm up the material with additional harmonic content, SlickEQ offers a switchable EQ non-linearity and an output stage with 3 different saturation models. These options are meant to offer subtle and interesting textures, rather than obvious distortion. The effect is made to add the typical “mojo” often associated with classy audio gear.

An advanced 64-bit multirate processing scheme practically eliminates typical problems of digital EQ implementations such as frequency-warping, quantization distortion and aliasing.

Beside the primary controls, the plug-in comes with an array of additional helpers: Advanced preset management, undo/redo, quick A/B comparison, copy & paste, an online help, editable labels, mouse-wheel support and much more.

SlickEQ is a collaborative project by Variety of Sound (Herbert Goldberg) and Tokyo Dawn Labs (Vladislav Goncharov and Fabien Schivre).

Key specs and features:

  • Intuitive, yet flexible semi parametric EQ layout.
  • Full featured, modern user interface with outstanding usability and ergonomics.
  • Carefully designed 64-bit “delta” multi-rate structure.
  • Three EQ bands with additional 18dB/Oct high-pass filter.
  • Four distinct EQ models: “American”, “British”, “German” and “Soviet” with optional non-linearity.
  • Four output stages: “Linear”, “Silky”, “Mellow” and “Deep”.
  • Advanced saturation algorithms by VoS (“stateful saturation”).
  • Highly effective and musically pleasing loudness compensated auto gain control.
  • Oversampled signal path including stateful saturation algorithms.
  • Stereo and sum/difference processing options.
  • Tool-bar with undo/redo, A/B, advanced preset management and more.

TDR Feedback Compressor II

TDR Feedback Compressor II free compressor by Tokyo Dawn Labs

TDR Feedback Compressor II is a free compressor VST, Audio Unit plugin developed by Tokyo Dawn Labs. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

The TDR Feedback Compressor II is a major design update of its critically acclaimed predecessor. The compressor is dedicated to the highest fidelity stereo program (2-buss) compression, but shines equally in classic mixing tasks.

Most modern compressors analyse the input signal to control gain reduction. This is known as a “feed-forward” topology. The TDR Feedback Compressor II, however, analyses the output. This approach delivers unobtrusive and highly musical compression characteristics which mean the compressor is able to handle complex signals with ease.

The TDR Feedback Compressor II takes this traditional compression topology to new heights as a state of the art dynamics processor combining an unusual and highly flexible, yet intuitive control scheme. The compressor has been carefully tuned for intuitive and musical operation for almost every situation. No compromises have been made in order to achieve the highest possible quality of dynamic control.

We want to emphasize the fact that the processor neither tries to emulate any previously available device, nor does it follow popular trends like “virtual analogue”, “circuit modelling” or similar buzz words. This is a proud digital processor, made with an immense amount of love and care.

Tape Delay

Tape Delay free delay by Kingtao

Tape Delay is a free delay VST, Audio Unit plugin developed by Kingtao. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

Emulation of a magnetic tape delay line. The algorithm is not outstanding at all. Some aliasing occurs at high frequencies. Anyway it could be useful for dub style delays:

  • Tape delay line.
  • Flutter.
  • Saturation.

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.

  • LED-meter shows the saturation level.
  • Tab button for delay time.
  • MIDI Learn for all knobs.
  • The feedback knob is especially optimized for doing infinite delays.
