NUCLEAR CRANIUM

NUCLEAR CRANIUM is a free multi fx and overdrive and saturation and bit crusher and crunch and panner and pitch shifter VST plugin developed by Jack Dark. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

NUCLEAR CRANIUM is a free Multi-Band Distortion/FSU device designed to aid in the construction of experimental music and sounds.

NUCLEAR CRANIUM works by splitting the incoming source material using a Comb Filter into four frequency layers; Hi, Mid, Low, and Else. Then each frequency layer has its own proprietary FX units with which one alters or corrupts said frequency. Each frequency layer is then recombined into one unified new sound result. All frequency layers have PITCHSHIFTING, BITCRUSHING, WAVESHAPING, “CRUNCH”, BITCRUSH, “PSYCHODELAY”, and AUTOPAN FX units individually. As well as independent Wet/Dry settings and Volume/Amplification sliders as well. Each frequency layer can be turned ON or OFF to save CPU consumption. Nearly every single NUCLEAR CRANIUM parameter has its own individual internal completely reconfigurable LFO. NUCLEAR CRANIUM’s GUI is 100% verbosely tool-tipped for ease of learning.

Mixtube

Mixtube is a free overdrive and saturation VST plugin developed by WOK. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

Mixtube is a VST effect emulating the input stage of a tube driven mixing console. It can be inserted in every audio track of a song to make it sound warmer and thicker and to make it fit better into the mix.

Depending on the type and volume of the input signal and the setting of the drive knob, Mixtube adds even and/or odd harmonics, smooths attacks and incorporates a compressing and limiting effect to the audio. Use it on vocal tracks to simulate the use of a tube mic preamp, crank the drive up for an electric bass recorded directly to get some driven sound, make your drums fat – all with the simpleness of just turning one knob.

This plug-in recreates the warm sound qualities of classic analog hardware, providing a simple “vintage-style” interface, as well as low CPU consumption.

Features:

Accurate tube preamp simulator with oversampling.

Two switchable circuit emulations.

Continuous adjustment of tube gain.

Analog style metering.

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