ITS

ITS free software-synthesizer by beatassist.eu

ITS is a free software synthesizer developed by beatassist.eu. Available format(s): VST, VST3 for Windows 64b.

ITS is a virtual synthesizer for Windows OS 32/64-bits VST2/VST3.

It is designed for the creation of rhythmic sounds/synths (sounds that do not fit in the effects section nor in the leads section) for the core of your rave tracks such as Techno, Drum’n’Bass and Psytrance.

The user can pull some basses and leads out of it….so there is no need to be stuck to rave…..it can be used in other styles.

This plugin has :

-> 2 oscillators with three modes os usage;

-> possibility to generate a waveform from an audio file;

-> possibility to draw your waveform;

-> noise generator.

-> stereo delay.

-> gator/trancegate.

-> reverb with 5 modes.

-> 3 band EQ.

-> phaser up to 8 stages.

-> chorus.

-> powerfull LFO.

-> octave stepper.

ITS is free and works on Windows 7/8/10 32/64-bits VST2/VST3.

IterativeSinCluster

IterativeSinCluster free software-synthesizer by Uhhyou

IterativeSinCluster is a free software synthesizer developed by Uhhyou. Available format(s): VST3 for Windows 64b, macOS, Linux.

Note: Currently Linux build doesn’t display GUI due to some problem related to VSTGUI. For Linux, LV2 version is available at https://github.com/ryukau/LV2Plugins.

Note: I don’t have mac so macOS build is not tested. If you find bug, please report it to https://github.com/ryukau/VSTPlugins.

IterativeSinCluster is an additive synthesizer. This synth computes 512 sine waves per note to make tone cluster. I somehow thought “iterative sin” is a valid term. Correct term is “recursive sine”.

The number 512 come from 16 overtone * 8 note * 4 chord.

Gain envelope uses typical exponential curve. It implements a heuristic method to reduce click noise when attack/release time is very short. Attack curve can be changed.

There are several parameters to control sine wave frequency:

  • Semitone and Milli. 1 milli is 1 / 1000 semitone = 1 / 10 cent.
  • Up to 16th overtone.
  • Frequency multiplication and modulo.
  • Equal temperament control to change the amount of semitone.

Pitch randomization can be used to make some nice unison or detuned sounds.

Chorus is added to compensate the lack of modulation. It has 3 delays inside. Key follow can be used to automatically change delay time to follow note frequency.

One downside is that note frequency can’t be changed during note on. This is due to the limitation of iterative sin algorithm, which is fast only if the frequency is constant.

InstantSampler

InstantSampler free sampler | slicer | stutter | glitch by Muxer

InstantSampler is a free sampler and slicer and stutter and glitch VST, Audio Unit plugin developed by Muxer. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

InstantSampler is a simple sampler that records audio from the audio input when a MIDI note is played for the first time. Any consecutive time you play the same note, it plays back the recorded audio with the possibility to vary or trigger:

  • Velocity.
  • Attack and release.
  • The level of the input audio which is passed unaffected while no samples are played.
  • Playback speed using the pitchbend control.
  • Normal or reversed playback.
  • Looped scrolling, which enables you to use the modulation wheel to control the position in a sample at which small loops are played (e.g. “hello” becomes “h-h-e-e-l-l-o-o”).
  • Clearing of the sample memory.

This plugin is especially handy if you want to do some ‘remixing’ (like stuttering or scratch effects) on your mix without having to make a bounce-down of that mix first. You have explicit control over these effects, compared to other glitching “mess things up” plugins that often do things randomly.
