Free Audio Plugins & Softwares for Windows

Glass Armanica

Glass Armanica is a free rompler VST plugin developed by Distropolis. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

Glass Armanica is a sample-based recreation of Benjamin Franklin’s rubbed glass instrument known as the Glass Harmonica or Hydrocrystalophone.

The samples were created by filling wine glasses with water and tuning them with a chromatic tuner to the appropriate pitches (drop by drop). Distropolis originally planned to recreate all three octaves of the real instrument, but ran out of sufficiently large wine glasses. An enhanced version of the Glass Armanica may be released in the future if this problem can be overcome…

Features:

A single octave of samples running from MIDI note 72 to 84 (Octave 6).

Amplitude ADSR controls.

Reverb with width, size and mix controls.

Hi-Cut and Master Volume controls.

GlaceVerb

GlaceVerb is a free reverb VST plugin developed by DaSample. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

GlaceVerb is Dasample’s first attempt to implement its works on Residual Vector Modulation (RVM) in a VST plug-in. RVM is a proprietary algorithm developed to calculate the deformations, the vibrations and the acoustic response of surfaces and materials.

Imagine a big orchestra playing in a giant box built with thin metal sheets. As the panels are not very rigid, the box will vibrate according to the energy of music and produce an audible spectral deformation. RVM algorithm is able to simulate such deformations and vibrations and apply them to the original signal.

Key Features:

Residual Vector Modulation (RVM) reverberation engine.

Reverberation time : up to 20s.

Improved reflections algorithms for more natural sounding.

Surface parameters (Texture, Absorption, Reflection).

Density control (from Flat to Extreme reverberation).

Size, Bass, Dry and Wet quick access controls.

Very easy to use and ultra functional interface with large LCD screen.

All functions and controls are fully automatable.

64 hi-quality presets.

GetaBlitch Jr.

GetaBlitch Jr. is a free gate VST plugin developed by BetabugsAudio. Compatible OS(s): Windows, macOS.

GetaBlitch Jr. is a free sequenced gate effect that is different from traditional “trance gates” in two significant ways: first, it uses MIDI to sequence the gate, rather than a built-in step sequencer; second, it gates the left and right channels of a stereo signal independently and potentially simultaneously.
