HoRNet StereoView

HoRNet StereoView free stereo-imaging by HoRNet

HoRNet StereoView is a free stereo imaging VST, VST3, Audio Unit, AAX plugin developed by HoRNet. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

HoRNet StereoView is a plugin designed to help you visualise the stereo image of your tracks.
The design of the plugin is very straightforward and easy to understand since the interface is completely occupied by the “goniometer”: an X-Y graph that displays the intensity of the signal in the stereo field.

StereoView allows you to change between two different views: the default, that we call “fireworks” that shows every sample as a straight line starting from the center, and the one we call “abstract” that connect each sample in the stereo field to the next one creating a continuous “wire”.

Another useful feature of the interface is the ability to be rescaled at will so you can resize it to fill the right spot on your screen.
A goniometer like HoRNet StereoView can be a very handy tool to directly see if your track have any anti-phase issue that may create problems when your track is played in mono, something that happens very often with mobile music listening today.

Features:

  • Display of stereo position and level of each sample.
  • Old CRT display persistence simulation for easier visualisation.
  • Two display modes: “fireworks” and “abstract”.
  • GUI can be freely rescaled.
  • macOS (10.7 and later) and Windows (Vista and later) support.
  • 32 and 64-bit compatibility both on Mac and Windows.
  • Audio Units VST2.4, VST3, AAX format.

HoRNet Harmonics

HoRNet Harmonics free waveshaper | exciter by HoRNet

HoRNet Harmonics is a free waveshaper and exciter VST, VST3, Audio Unit, RTAS, AAX plugin developed by HoRNet. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

HoRNet Harmonics is a wave shaper based on the Chebyshev polynomials. Its non-linear processing lets you adjust the level of harmonics added to the signal, warming it up in different ways.

The plugin provides 10 harmonics generators of which you can set the amplitude and phase, increasing or decreasing the impact of the harmonic on the input signal. The resulting sine wave equivalent shape is displayed on the right side of the GUI.

HoRNet Harmonics provides great flexibility and lets you create interesting distortion, tray for instance to remove the fundamental frequency (set the first slider to zero) and create a “broken record” sound, and the best of all, Harmonics is free.

HoRNet Angle

HoRNet Angle free eq by HoRNet

HoRNet Angle is a free equalizer VST, VST3, Audio Unit, AAX plugin developed by HoRNet. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

HoRNet Angle is a little handy tone shaper tool. It’s based on the concept of the “tilt eq” a special kind of equaliser designed to change the tonal balance of the track to which is applied.

A “tilt eq” does not provide frequency or Q control, it simply increases or decreases high and low frequencies around a fixed point, and in the case of HoRNet Angle is 650Hz, turning the “Angle” knob on the GUI towards right increases the right part of the spectrum (the high frequencies) while lowering the left part (low frequencies) of the same amount. This simple action allow to perform very gentle tonal shaping that can help you get the correct frequency balance of your mix with very little effort.

HoRNet Angle also adds the standard HoRNet goodies, we have added input and output auto gain based around the 0VU level, leaving them engaged may help you keep the level constant while you tweak the EQ. HoRNet Angle also has the “OpAmp” analog emulation derived directly from our AnalogStage plugin that adds harmonics and make the sound “thicker” when enabled.

The best possible sound quality is always guaranteed by the auto-oversample feature that internally adjusts the oversampling amount to give the plugin enough bandwidth to keep the aliasing at minimum with every sampling frequency.

Features:

  • Tilt EQ adjustable from -18dB to +18dB.
  • Input and output gain controls with auto-gain.
  • Input and output peak meters.
  • Analog emulation based on AnalogStage’s OpAmp model.
  • Bypass button to exclude the plugin processing.
  • Mac OS X (>=10.7) and Windows support.

  • 32 and 64-bit compatibility both on Mac and Windows.

  • Audio Units VST2.4, VST3 and AAX format.
