Free Audio Plugins & Softwares for Windows

Machin

machin is a free multi fx and fsu and gate VST plugin developed by de la Mancha. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

machin is a random, probability-based, step-sequenced multi-fx device created by de la Mancha in partnership with sink.

The step sequencer defines the probability that any single random effect will be triggered on that step.

Weighting defines the probability for each effect that it will be the one that is triggered.

Features:

6 effects (gate, crusher, filter, flanger, delay, reverb).

2-32 step probability sequencer over a cycle of 2-32 beats.

Seeded randomisation with loop repeat over cycle of 2-100 beats.

Swing control for step sequencer.

Any effects can be turned off to save CPU.

Each effect has an attack/decay on triggering and pulse length to determine duration effect is on.

Master wet/dry mix control.

All controls have MIDI learn.

M4GIQ

M4GIQ is a free stereo imaging VST plugin developed by Mildon. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

M4GIQ is a 4-band stereo-imager and EQ. It enables you to pan certain frequencies and apply delay for a wider sound. It gives you 4 adjustable bands with individual Panning, Volume, Delay, and Mute Switch. It also has built-in High-Pass and Low-Pass Filters. Bands and knobs are color-coded for easy visualization.

M-theory

M-theory is a free software synthesizer developed by Ugo. Available format(s): VST for Windows.

M-theory is a physical modeling hybrid synth that provides a very wide range of high quality synthetic and hybrid acoustic modeled sounds. M-theory is the successor to the popular String Theory and, in comparison to its predecessor, M-theory is far more flexible and delivers a much higher quality tone, with greater depth, clarity, and character.

The heart of M-theory is its multi part oscillator system, which allows the user to combine the output two exciters to drive a Karplus-Strong style delay based oscillator. The exciters can be either samples (24 built in, or user loaded), VA oscillators, or noise and each imparts some of its tone to the delay oscillator. Of special note is that even though M-theory can make use of samples it is definitely not a “rompler” since the actual sound of the sample is not retained; only certain characteristics of the tone are passed on to the overall sound. This method makes programming faster and easier while still providing physical modeling flexibility, and allows M-theory to have it’s own unique voice rather than that of the sample.

In addition to is flexible multi-part oscillator system, M-theory also provides extensive filtering options (including the option of mixing low, band, high and all pass filters at the same time), dual programmable phrase arpeggiators, six built in effects, and much more. M-theory comes with 320 presets which range from sounds inspired by natural instruments all the way to other-worldly pads and ambiences.

Key features:

Karplus-Strong style synthesis engine.

Dual exciters, each with the option of samples, VA or noise sources.

Independent low, band, high, and all pass filters.

Dual programmable arpeggiators and an extra MIDI note doubler.

Built in tremolo, metal effect, chorus, delay, distortion, and reverb.

320 presets.

M/Ster Balance

M/Ster Balance is a free stereo imaging VST plugin developed by Ourafilmes. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

M/Ster Balance is a plugin designed for fast results. It allows you to control the tone of the sound and the stereo field with only 4 knobs through an intelligent algorithm. It features a transparent crossover filter that divides the signal in 2 bands: low (mono) and high (stereo). You control the balance of those 2 bands. Then the signal goes to a Mid-Side processor where you control the balance of the stereo field. A final gain stage allows you to compensate differences of level so you can compare the sound before and after the plugin processing. There is even a final onboard limiter (acts at 0dB FS – prevents clipping), if you ever need it.

Based on technologies from several of other Ourafilmes VST plugins (Master, Bass Bus, M/S EQ and Speaker Blower), those big knobs allow you to have total control over the sound. Use this plugin for tonal effects, eq/filtering, reverb control, stereo field control, phase control, … It’s great for tracking, mixing and mastering.

Full automation, MIDI learn (right-click knobs), zero latency.

This is a 32-bit VST plugin.

There are no user presets so experimentation is the key to success.

M-ST

M-ST is a free stereo imaging VST plugin developed by WOK. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

M-ST is a VST effect for quick and easy adjusting the stereo wideness of an audio signal or faking a stereo-signal from a mono input.

Unlike a mono-stereo switch the channel separation can be continuously adjusted. Above 100% the stereo signal is spread with M/S techniques first and then additionally with filter and delay lines. The resulting signal is still mono compatible.

A mono input can be turned into a fake stereo signal with similar technique.

M-ST is free and does not contain any adware, spyware, toolsbars or other annoying limitations.

_{Made with Synthedit 1.2 – no multicore bug.}

M/S EQ

M/S EQ is a free equalizer VST plugin developed by Ourafilmes. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

M/S EQ is a mid-sides multi-band processor. It splits the signal in low and high bands and allows you to process, separately, the mid and sides gain level of both bands. There’s also a final gain level knob and 2 switches on each band: solo and bypass. You can compare the results with the original signal by using the master bypass switch.

The use of this plug-in is very simple: from correcting phase issues to sound editing, from editing to mastering.

M/S EQ includes full automation and MIDI Learn.

This is a free plugin but, to download, you must be a fan of the Ourafilmes Facebook page as it is included in the Ourafilmes Facebook Free Pack.

LXR

LXR is a free delay and echo VST plugin developed by Mildon. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

LXR is a lightweight tool that lets you insert small amounts of delay to each channel of a stereo track.

For best results in stereo applications, use smaller amounts (<0.1s). In monaural applications, use larger amounts (>0.5s) for a more pronounced effect (like a slap-back echo).

LuckyWorm

LuckyWorm is a free software synthesizer developed by BipTunia Synths. Available format(s): VST for Windows.

LuckyWorm is a non-nonsense, yet robust, mono synth. It’s great for heavy bass, forceful leads, crystalline chimes, and more. Has 64 presets.

For an idea of the sound: I was going to call this synth “Emerson, Worms, and Palmer”, but thought I’d receive a lawyer letter, or at least hate mail. lol.

{See video at top of page}

LEGEND:

The two oscillators are called “worm food” and “worm poo.”

“slime” is filter resonance.

“goo” is other filter resonance.

“hard worms” is velocity sensitivity.

“Portobello” switch is portamento.

“shroom time” is portamento time.

“number of worms” is output volume.

“worm hole depth” takes one oscillator slightly out of tune for depth.

“freaks” is a fun little frequency analyzer.

“voodoo” shows fun MIDI numbers and voltages.

“ASDR” is obviously the envelope.

“worm gas” is an ASDR filter.

“breed worms” is speed of delay.

“feed worms” is feedback of delay.

“bendy worms” is amount of pitch bend on wheel.

Also has a built-in waveform display, and a MIDI signal window. These are fun, but also help understand synthesis and MIDI.

LEGAL: VST is a trademark of Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH, registered in Europe and other countries.

BipTunia Synths has been licensed for VST SDK use by Steinberg. Agreement countersigned by Steinberg on August 23, 2018.

Made with SynthEdit.

Made by Michael W. Dean & Euroracks Anonymous.
Company: BipTunia Synths.

It’s a 32-bit VST2 VST synthesizer from BipTunia synths.

Is also VERY CPU efficient. Sometimes it shows as using 1% of the CPU on a 5 year old i7-3770, but most of the time 0%.
