TrapezoidSynth

TrapezoidSynth free software-synthesizer by Uhhyou

TrapezoidSynth 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.

TrapezoidSynth is a monophonic synthesizer equipped with two trapezoid oscillator which is piecewise function of PTR ramp function. In other words, it’s just a fancy version of tri-pulse oscillator:

  • Equipped with 2 trapezoid oscillator.
  • Pitch drift with white noise for oscillator 1.
  • Slope and pulse width controls for trapezoid shape.
  • Phase modulation to oscillator 1. Feedback knob is just another phase modulation.
  • Up to 8 order low-pass filter with saturation.
  • Can be modulate filter cutoff with Oscillator 1 output.
  • 2 ADSR envelopes for output gain and filter. Filter envelope can be used to modulate oscillator pitch in octave.
  • 2 AD envelopes for various modulation.
  • Retrigger control for all envelopes.
  • 1 LFO for oscillator 1 and filter cutoff.
  • 3 types of pitch slide. Always, only when sustain, reset to 0 Hz when first note on or last note off.
  • Pitch slide time offset between oscillator 1 and 2.

LV2 version is used in demo video. Only difference between VST3 version and LV2 version is small details in GUI.

TPA-1

TPA-1 free amp-simulator by Ignite Amps

TPA-1 is a free amp simulator VST, Audio Unit plugin developed by Ignite Amps. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

The TPA-1 is a digital emulation of a class AB tube power amplifier for guitar.

It has been designed and developed to be paired with any guitar preamp (VST/AU or even hardware).

Its circuit is not based on any particular physical power amplifier, but it has been designed to have enough versatility to range from vintage to modern tones, letting the user be free to shape its dynamic behaviour with ease, without the need to be a tube amplifier tech.

Every single component on the signal path of the analog circuit has been taken into account and modeled in the best possible way to match the original sound as it was meant to be, while keeping an eye on CPU performances and real-time playability at the same time.

The TPA-1 is meant to be used as a guitar tube power amplifier simulator for live playing and jamming, tracking or mixing inside hosts capable of VST or AU Plug-Ins support.

Main Features:

  • Dynamic EL34 / 6L6GC / KT88 pentodes/tetrodes analog modeling (push-pull stage).
  • Dynamic ECC83 / 12AX7 triode analog modeling (phase inverter stage).
  • Mono / Stereo processing support.
  • Selectable oversampling rate (up to 8x).
  • Global input / output level controls.
  • Double precision (64-bit) floating point mathematical model.
  • Fully automatable controls.

tonespace

tonespace free chorder by mucoder

tonespace is a free chorder VST, Audio Unit plugin developed by mucoder. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

What is tonespace?:

  • a chord generator and visualizer.
  • displays chords and scales on a grid, making it easy to understand their structure.
  • displays chords on a piano keyboard, making it easy to play them.
  • supports 39 chord types, 25 chord voicings/inversions, 21 scales, 18 keys, and 50 different grids.
  • accepts MIDI input for triggering or viewing chords.

How do I use it?:

  • audition and play chords while you move the mouse around in a grid-like space – or use a traditional MIDI keyboard instead.
  • learn how musical scales and keys work, and how chords relate to these, using the simple octave-based spaces.
  • discover how chords map onto surprisingly simple geometric shapes in the more advanced spaces.
  • use chord-generation algorithms to fit chords to scales and keys automatically.
  • trigger chords from monophonic MIDI input and record the played chords using MIDI output.

Now with 64-bit support.

ToneDeluxe

ToneDeluxe free amp-simulator by lostin70's

ToneDeluxe is a free amp simulator VST, VST3, Audio Unit plugin developed by lostin70s. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

The ToneDeluxe is designed as a full analog tube amplifier from preamp stage to cabinet. Based on ECC83 and EL34 tubes, its analog time model design allows to reduce the delay of the signal processing and thus give a “pleasure of playing” for guitarists. It offers two independent channels : clean and high gain. The high gain chanel is versatile thanks to the DriveTone setting that cut/boost high frequency before the tone stack.

Features :

  • Two channels with independent gain/volume.
  • ECC83 & EL34 simulation.
  • Based on analog time model.
  • Full tone stack.
  • Drive is volume responsive.
  • Two springs reverb models.
  • Five cabinet models.

Available in 64-bit VST and Audio Unit Plugin.

New version 1.0.1 (improve compatibility with 96 kHz and framelength up to 8192)

New version 1.0.2 (solve crash or no sound issue for framelength of 64 samples)

New version 1.0.3 (improve stability, fixe crash on multiple instances)

New version 1.1.1 : support 32-bit win VST and VST3 format. Available as Mac VST And AU. Great improve of stability and performances.

Toned

Toned free eq by LVC-Audio

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

Toned is a specialized tone shaping plugin with analog modeling. It is designed primarily for use in the mastering process or on two-track audio busses. Toned uses two distinct equalization processes: a three-band tone-shaping matrix, and a specially designed high pass (HP) filter.

The three-band tone-shaping matrix uses a crossover-style filter bank of first-order filters (-6dB per octave). This type of equalization produces very gentle and broad filtering, with minimal alteration of phase. Very wide boosts and cuts can be accomplished while still sounding natural. This style of equalization also mimics some of the interactions between frequency bands that are commonly found in passive analog EQs and analog tone controls. The tone-shaping matrix can be applied to stereo channels, or specifically to the mid or side channel. Additionally, Toned can be switched to use a two-band matrix.

The HP filter is specifically designed for accurately adjusting the low/sub bass energy. The filter has selectable Q and roll-off. The scale of the HP controls is specific to low bass, and ranges from 10 Hz to 50 Hz (with accuracy to 0.01 Hz). Just like the tone controls, the HP filter can be applied to the stereo channels, or specifically target the mid or side channel.

In addition to all of the tone and HP filter controls, Toned also includes an analog modeling engine to simulate the sound of hardware devices. The Toned analog sound consists of numerous parameters to simulate the unique frequency characteristics, saturation, self-noise, and other nuances of high-quality analog equipment. There is also a feedback control to simulate the effect of using negative feedback within an analog amplifier path.

Toned also includes many standard LVC-Audio features. This includes:

  • Delay and phase compensated mix control.
  • Adjustable input and output metering with peak and loudness meters.
  • Internal 64-bit precision with 2x fixed oversampling rate.
  • Knob controllers with fine- and superfine- control, and built-in A-B comparison.

System Requirements and Specifications:

  • Windows: VST, VST3, RTAS, and AAX plugin formats. Toned requires Windows XP SP 3 or newer with a processor that supports SSE2 (AMD or Intel processor from around 2004 or later). An iLok device is required to use the AAX format.
  • OS X: AU, VST, VST3, RTAS, and AAX plugin formats. Toned requires OS X 10.5 or later, and an Intel processor. An iLok device is required to use the AAX format.
