Free Audio Plugins & Softwares for Windows

pHaasE

pHaasE is a free phaser VST plugin developed by Noisebud. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

pHaasE is a rest product from a series of experiments with the Haas effect conducted by Noisebud. pHaasE delay the side information within the Haas time boundaries and totally screw up your audios imaging but will leave a totally new stereo image which might sound very pleasing both on single elements in the mix or in a mastering situation.
The technique can be useful when trying to rescue badly imaged mixes or just to add another flavor to your stereo content:

Double click the mid/side controller to center it.

The plugin need a stereo-signal to work properly.

PG-23P

PG-23P is a free software synthesizer developed by Stumm. Available format(s): VST for Windows.

PG-23P is an emulation of the Roland JX-3P from the PG-200 programmer’s interface. It was developed using a physical JX-3P and available specifications in order to match all routing, depth, tuning, and value ranges as closely as possible. It has all the characteristics and features of the JX-3P’s synthesis including:

Multi-Routed ENV and LFO Destinations, with Depth and Post ON/OFF switches for quick switching of Patch variations.

The JX-3P PWM ‘trick’. Set Cross Mod to Sync, Mix to DCO-2 and control the tuning of DCO-2 (manually or with the LFO) to achieve Pulse Width Modulation.

Separate POS. and NEG. ADSR positions for the Pitch and Filter.

3 Cross Modulation modes: NONE, SYNC, and METAL (a type of Ringmod w/ DCO-1 as the carrier).

Built in Chorus.

Turn Velocity Sensitivity to 0 to accurately recreate the JX-3P’s keyboard, or turn it to 10 to recreate the velocity sensitivity that was only to it available through MIDI-IN.

Global Highpass Filter and VCA Modes: ENV (which uses the ADSR) or GATE (on/off response, no velocity sensitivity).

pfilter

pfilter is a free filter and gate VST plugin developed by de la Mancha. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

pfilter creates a steppy, gated effect, but using filter cut-off instead of volume to give a wider range of possibilities. It uses a variable state filter, triggered between 2 adjustable cut-off values by a tempo-sync’d probability-based step sequencer. An LFO can modulate the filter when triggered and trigger pulse length, attack and release can shape the sound

Features:

Tempo-sync step sequencer, with 2 to 32 steps over a sequence length of 2 to 32 beats.

Can be programmed or random, by setting the probability of each step from 0-100%.

Seeded randomisation for repeatable loops up to 100 beats long.

Resonant variable filter, LP, HP, BP and notch.

Filter triggered between upper and lower cut-off values, in either direction.

Tempo sync LFO, with 6 waveforms and settings from 1/16 beat to 96 beats.

Adjustable pulse length, attack and decay for shaping the modulation.

Random swing for step sequencer.

Wet/dry mix control.

MIDI CC and MIDI learn.

Period Seq

Period Seq is a free midi controller VST plugin developed by xoxos. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

Period Seq is a simple algorithmic MIDI generator that applies four counters to two clocks and four reset rates. It can produce non-repeating or complex, structured feeling sequences automatically. The GUI is designed for applying performance variations in use.

Each counter normally creates MIDI notes at a regular periodic interval after being reset. Counters can be used to reset other counters, so that modulating the selection of clocks and reset rates applied to each counter can produce complex variation in the output. LFOs can also be reset periodically for sequencing contour effects.

Period Seq is appropriate for experimental applications and sequencing percussion.

Pentaphonizer

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

Pentaphonizer offers stereo to five-channel-surround translation.

Features

Cinetic section:

Analysis of the main frequency (pitch tracker) and the intensity (volume tracker) of the two channels of a stereo input signal.

Modulation of the X/Y position of the two inputs according to the analyzed signal : center position, amplitude of the movement and smoothness.

Each channel tracker can control the X or Y position of the two inputs.

Spatial areas settings for each output.

Spectral section:

Division of the two inputs signals in four frequency bands with three crossover filters.

Each frequency band can be freely positioned (and automated) inside the 2D space.

Intensity settings for each band / channel

Spatial areas settings for each output.

Possibility to view the spectrum of each band / channel.

Plus:

Stereo reverberation section with spatial position of the two channels.

Easy combination of the three sections with a separate volume adjustment, the 2D view shows only the objects that correspond to an active section.

Pre-assigned MIDI controller numbers for easy use with a control surface.

128 patches, help screen.

The full featured freeware version has 8 delays instead of 16.

Pedals

Pedals is a free multi fx and overdrive and saturation and amp simulator and delay and echo and flanger and phaser and pitch shifter and reverb and eq and filter VST plugin developed by ToneBytes. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

Pedals is a VST effect plug-in designed for processing electric guitar and bass. It is also possible to process other audio sources for a variety of artistic techniques.

The Pedals GUI simulates real devices for sound processing: guitar pedals, amplifiers, speakers, etc. There are a total of 20 models of pedals, 2 amps, 7 speakers models and 3 rack units. These devices are not a copy of the real-life models, each with their own sound, but their working principles are identical.

The user can select a combination of effects and can even create extra mood by choosing floor material under the pedals: house parquet, metal garage floor or studio carpet.

There is a built-in preset manager to save the settings and access them or share them with other users. VST automation and full MIDI Learning are supported.
