Daft Funk

Daft Funk free glitch | pitch-shifter | filter by KlangLabs

Daft Funk is a free glitch and pitch shifter and filter VST plugin developed by KlangLabs. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

Daft Funk is a “Glitch accelerator”.

Features:

  • X-Y panel: X controls speed, Y controls LowPass Filter and volume optionally.
  • Mode: “Pitched” means the wave will be resampled as speed is being modulated; “Grainy” means the wave will not change pitch but the grains will change size as speed is being modulated.
  • Sync mode: “BPM” or “Free”.
  • Note subdivision selector.
  • Y->Vol (Y value to Volume) button.
  • Zero – X: Useful only in “Grainy” mode; this parameter is useful to avoid clicks, but if you want to go very fast you better untick this option, otherwise you’ll hear an artifact in where the pitch transitions aren’t smooth on very high frequencies.
  • X and Y spring buttons: Enable disable spring release on them.
  • Smooth knob: This smoothes out the X and Y values, high values result on slow response to quick movements, useful to make slow sweeps such as on one famous Daft Punk song.
  • Grain size knob: When in “Free” mode (opposed to BPM) you can specify the grain size here.

D-Arp

D-Arp free arpeggiator by WOK

D-Arp is a double power arpeggiator to trigger your plug-ins or external synths.

Two arps can run parallel or serial (the first triggers the second). Extras like a “force2scale” function and the ability to run by manual stepping triggered by incoming MIDI notes on a different channel make this plug-in stand out from other arpeggiators.

Special features: host-sync, shuffle, adjustable note length with overlap at max point (for mono glide sounds), velocity adjustable or input pass thru. Clock divider for speed control includes settings for dotted or triol – also there is a manual control for step thru by sending MIDI notes on channel 16 to the plug-in (for example from a drum machine).

Cygnus

Cygnus free software-synthesizer by Krakli

Cygnus is a free software synthesizer developed by Krakli. Available format(s): VST for Windows.

Developed as a collaboration between Krakli Software and sound designer Tim Conrardy, Cygnus is a “space synth” in both looks and tones. 3 distinctly different tonal sources are mixed in stereo through various sound modulators. The quality of the sound is further affected by 3 sequencer rows which can affect note pitch or act as configurable LFOs. The GUI is designed to be anything but conventional but the inclusion of switchable labels makes everything a little bit more manageable for those that like to know what they are tweaking.

Cycle Shifter

Cycle Shifter free other-utility by ndc Plugs

Cycle Shifter is a free audio and studio utility VST plugin developed by ndc Plugs. Compatible OS(s): Windows, macOS.

Cycle Shifter reads in a single cycle of input audio, then (at the end of the cycle) outputs it on top of the current input audio, repeating the process ad infinitum. It works best on long, sustained sounds like strings and pads, sounding like a strange kind of noisy/gentle distortion. You won’t hear much effect on drums because they generally have such a high frequency content.
