Riviera: Hyper-Room Reverb

Riviera: Hyper-Room Reverb free reverb by NuSpace Audio

Riviera: Hyper-Room Reverb is a free reverb VST, VST3, Audio Unit plugin developed by NuSpace Audio. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

Riviera is a free hybrid algorithmic-convolution reverb plugin for modeling specular acoustic reflections in N-dimensional orthotopes. e.g. string, plate, room, tesseract, and up (vooms or volume+room for short). Normally, direct computations in these spaces are expensive but some clever maths reduced the asymptotic costs to the point of practical use (e.g. a Reverb plugin). Parameterizing these spaces and then combining them with some fast time-varying frequency decay resulted in some interesting sounding impulse responses (IRs).

Features:

  • Voom designer: Adjustable number of dimensions, size, listener offset from sound-source origin, and material reflection dB loss.

  • Time controls: Adjust pre-delay, IR onset/reverser, geometry scale/density sampling, and dimensional attenuation.

  • Frequency controls: Low and high frequency dampening, low-cut linear phase filter.

  • Stereo controls: Pan, Haas, phase, mix (wet/dry), mid/side (mono to difference), and gain.

  • Graphical user interface: Real-time displays to IR and spectrogram.

  • High performance: Low-latency & low CPU usage convolution algorithm, variable max FFT block size, multi-threading support for computing IRs in the background.

Specifications:

  • VST2: Windows 7+, 32/64-bit, Mac OS X 10.7+.
  • VST3, Windows 7+, 32/64-bit.
  • AudioUnit, Mac OS X 10.7+.
  • Minimum SSE2 supported processor with improvements if AVX enabled.

RIAA

ZynAddSubFX free software-synthesizer by paulnasca 2

RIAA is a free equalizer VST, Audio Unit plugin developed by vacuumsound. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

The RIAA – Phono Equalization plug-in provides normal and inverse RIAA equalization. It thus can be used for record playback or vinyl cutting purposes. Another nice trick is to use it to simulate certain ‘vinyl sound effects’ by applying the inverse RIAA curve to your signal and after running it through a compressor converting it back to flat.

It works at the standard sample rates from 44.1kHz up to 96kHz.

Controls:

  • Level: Level adjust +/- 20dB.
  • RIAA: select between regular (playback) and inverse curve.

RESOM is available for Windows as a 32-bit VST plugin and 64-bit VST3 (experimental) from WOK.

Update v1.1
– shows up as effect now, not synth

ReFine

ReFine free enhancer | exciter by lkjb

ReFine is a free enhancer and exciter VST, VST3, Audio Unit plugin developed by lkjb. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

ReFine is a plugin that allows to add a final polishing to your tracks, busses and masters. It extracts psycho-acoustic parameters from the source and thus allows to add warmth, space and punch to your mixes. This is done level dependent and rather subtle; you probably won’t be able to create heavy distortion effects with this plugin.

Version 1.1.0 won’t be compatible with earlier versions but 1.1.0 can be installed alongside previous versions if one of the plugin is renamed. Since the amount of controls isn’t too high migrating shouldn’t be a problem.

The plugin is now open source.

The manual is available here.

Changelog:

  • 1.2.0: JUCE update.
  • 1.1.0: moved plugin to JUCE, added AU format, added x2 toggle.
  • 1.0.6: fixed crash in mono instances.
  • 1.0.5: fixed CPU issue in Cubase during silence.
  • 1.0.3: added support for older VST hosts on Windows, OS X 10.6 support.
  • 1.0.2: fixed denormalisation bug.
  • 1.0.1: fixed high CPU bug (appeared when silence was put in after a signal).
