Free Audio Plugins & Softwares for Windows 64 bits

Fmod Ex

Fmod Ex is a free development tool plugin developed by Firelight Technologies. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS, Linux.

The FMOD Ex Programmer’s API and Designer are a library and toolkit for the creation and playback of interactive audio. FMOD products are widely used in the games industry and have gained a strong reputation for its ease of use, powerful software-mixed architecture and comprehensive cross-platform support.

FMOD supports many hardware platforms – including the latest ‘next gen’ consoles. FMOD is actively developed, with regular releases of new features. Many new requested features have been provided to customers in a very short turnaround – if you want a new feature, just ask.

The FMOD Ex sound system is an audio engine for game developers, multimedia developers, sound designers, musicians and audio engineers. FMOD Ex is intended to push the creative boundaries of audio implementation for games and the like, whilst using minimal resources and being fully scalable.

DSP Software Architecture

The FMOD mixing architecture starts with an audio engine that uses floating point calculations with full 32-bit interpolation to provide maximum sound quality and headroom when summing signals. Using a node based architecture, FMOD Ex provides flexible routing, sub-mixing and output channel choices to the programmer. Input channels can be mapped to any output channel through a simple 2D matrix. Output to mono, stereo, 5.1, 7.1 and Dolby Pro Logic or Pro Logic 2 with ease.

Included with the API is a whole suite of 14 DSP effects, such as echo, chorus, reverb, etc. which can be applied throughout the DSP mixing network.

Advanced Compressed Sample and Streaming Support

FMOD Ex includes advanced support for compressed sample formats such as mp2, mp3, ADPCM and XMA. Compressed samples can be looped or sequenced with other samples, without gaps, clicks or other artifacts. Developers do not have to worry about anything to do with the destination format, FMOD’s encoder will just handle it perfectly for you every time.

Advanced streaming engine supports low CPU overhead, multiple stream support, over-ridable file callbacks and more.

File Format Support

FMOD supports a huge range of audio file formats including: wav, midi, mp3, XMA, ogg and mod just to name a few. You can even add your own codecs via FMOD Ex’s plug-in support. FMOD Ex can play audio files with up to 16 channels.

Create realistic soundscapes

Supply 3D positions for the sound source and listener and FMOD Ex will automatically apply volume, filtering, surround panning and Doppler effect to mono, stereo and even multichannel samples. Transition between calculated positioning and sound designer defined positioning using 2D/3D pan morphing. For even greater audio realism use FMOD Ex’s:

Choice between linear, logarithmic and custom rolloff curves.

Custom geometry engine to add polygon scenes (FMOD Ex will factor in obstruction/occlusion).

3D reverbs to blend transitions between environments with different ambience.

The software mixer even has a ‘HRTF’ (Head-Related Transfer Function) mode to provide 3D realism through headphones.

Virtual Voices

Virtual voices to allow a game to play thousands of sounds at once on limited hardware without worrying about handling the logic to switch sounds off and on. FMOD Ex provides voice management using 3D distance and priority properties.

Platform Support

FMOD Ex has a large range of supported hardware, including:

Flower Child Filter

Flower Child Filter is a free filter VST, Audio Unit plugin developed by Soundemote. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

Flower Child Filter is the first in an upcoming series of boutique analog-style filters (See FMD). Flower Child is aptly named for its goal to have a clean and resonant sound. There is also a switch for an aggressive growling version that is sure to cater to your more destructive side:

Oscilloscope in center of interface to see realtime how the filter is affecting your signal.

Self-oscillating resonance.

Warm tube-like overdrive by setting resonance to 0 in clean mode.

Clean/Aggressive mode where aggressive mode responds well to loud inputs, creating pleasing warmth, overdrive, and distortion.

2 Envelope followers, one for filter, the other for amplitude.

Floorfish

Floorfish is a free gate VST, Audio Unit plugin developed by digitalfishphones. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

Floorfish is a simple expander / gate device, easy to set up and offers a broad variety of processing, ranging from slight expansion, background noise attenuation to extreme gating effects.

What’s different from similar units is the ability to scan the source and adjust the transition curve accordingly.

Flipper

Flipper is a free audio and studio utility VST plugin developed by reFuse Software. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

Flipper flips signal polarity (misnomered often as “phase”). That’s it. Why should you care, when so many plug-ins already include a polarity switch in them? Well, because so many DAWs do not include a polarity switch right on their mixers. This means that, instead of being able to try different polarities with ONE click of the mouse, you must open some random plug-in, hunt for the polarity switch, and then hit it.

The idea of the Flipper is to effectively add a polarity switch to any DAW mixer. If the Flipper is on, it’s flipping polarity. If it’s in Bypass, it’s not.

Previously available only as a Pluggo plug-in, the free Flipper plug-in has been reissued in 2019 in native AAX, Audio Unit, and VST formats.

FilterCrusher

FilterCrusher is a free filter and saturation VST, Audio Unit plugin developed by Bedroom Producers Blog. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

FilterCrusher is a dual tube filter effect for mixing and sound design purposes. The plugin features a pair of resonant filters and a modeled tube preamp circuit for subtle tube saturation. Additional “crush” mode boosts the input gain and results in audible tube-style distortion.

Features:

Adjustable 12 dB high and low pass resonant filters.

Modeled tube circuit.

Subtle and “crush” modes.

Zero latency.

Optimized for low CPU usage.

FDNCymbal

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

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.

Info: For Linux, LV2 version is available at https://github.com/ryukau/LV2Plugins.

FDNCymbal is another attempt to make cymbal sound. This one at least sounds like hitting a metal plate unlike WaveCymbal:

Stick oscillator. Just some impulses and sine waves.

FDN section makes stick sounds more plausible.

Schroeder allpass section adds metallic texture to the signal.

Tremolo can be used to simulate wobbling of cymbal.

JavaScript version is available. Requires browser that supports Web Worker and Web Audio. This is not exactly the same as plugin version, but using similar structure.
