Routing

OscVstBridge

OscVstBridge is a free routing VST plugin developed by ByteWeavers. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

OscVstBridge is a VST plug-in that bridges VST data to the Open Sound Control [OSC] network domain.

VST plug-ins typically have parameters that are controllable by the user. These parameters appear as the knobs and sliders or as MIDI CC. By using OscVstBridge you can control via your MIDI controller or VST sequencer OSC devices that are networked to the controlling computer. Similarly OSC controllers can send messages to OscVstBridge that will convert it to VST parameter or MIDI data.

NINJAM Plug-in

NINJAM Plug-in is a free routing Audio Unit plugin developed by Expert Sleepers. Compatible OS(s): macOS.

NINJAM Plug-in is a plug-in client for NINJAM.

NINJAM is a program to allow people to make music together via the Internet. Every participant can hear every other participant. Each user can also tweak their personal mix to his or her liking. NINJAM is cross-platform, with clients available for Mac OS X and Windows.

There are various NINJAM client applications already in existence. Generally though these are designed around the assumption that you’re just using the computer to send and receive audio, and that your instruments are just fed into your computer’s audio interface. If however your instrument is your computer, it’s not really possible to get audio in and out of the Ninjam system in a convenient way.

By having the Ninjam client in a plug-in, it makes it very easy to combine Ninjam into your normal computer-based music setup. It also gives you many more creative options for routing signals in and out of Ninjam, even without multi-channel audio hardware attached to your computer.

Jack OS X

Jack OS X is a free routing VST, Audio Unit plugin developed by JackOSX.com. Compatible OS(s): macOS.

Jack OS X is a Mac OS X implementation of the Jack Audio Connection Kit (Jack). Jack is a low-latency audio server, written originally for the GNU/Linux operating system. It connects any number of different applications to a single hardware audio device; it also allows applications to send and receive audio to and from each other. Jack focuses on two key areas: synchronous execution of all clients, and low latency operation.

Jack OS X installs everything necessary to take full advantage of Jack on OS X. This includes:

The Jack server
The infrastructure you need in place to use Jack.

The Jack Audio Server (JAS)
JAS is a CoreAudio “user space” driver that allows any OS X CoreAudio application to become a Jack client.

The Jack audio plugins
Both AU and VST “Jack-aware” audio plugins are provided, which can further expand the limitless audio routing possibilities when using Jack. Both VST formats (Mach-O and CFM) are provided.

The JackPilot application
JackPilot offers an easy to use GUI interface that allows you to control the Jack server, and manage the audio connections between applications and/or plugins.

FFX-4

FFX-4 is a free routing VST, DirectX plugin developed by VB Audio. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

FFX-4 plug-in (VST or DX) allows managing 4 Direct-X plug-in into a virtual patch bay in easy way. Originally done for complex mastering in the age when DAWs were not working in floating point to transport signal.

The FFX-4 is always useful for complex mastering where several plug-ins needs to be chained like EQ + Multiband Compressor + Reverb + Special EQ + Limiter + Harmonic manager + Measure tools…

The FFX-16 version can be bought online if you need to manage more than 4 plug-ins in the chain.

Ferret 4×4

Ferret 4×4 is a free routing VST, Audio Unit plugin developed by eaReckon. Compatible OS(s): Windows, macOS.

Ferret 4×4 has been designed to add more audio routing capabilities to BloXpander by taking advantage of its sidechaining and multi-output capabilities. However, it can be used in some other DAWs to create audio links between different channels/tracks.

Ferret 4×4 features four pairs of inputs and four pairs of outputs, each of them having its own adjustable level and pan parameters. The internal behavior of Ferret 4×4 is quite basic: inputs are mixed down and the resulting stereo signal is sent to outputs depending on user settings.

This plug-in can be used to create extra “aux return” channels, mix down multiple signals to be sent to a single effect or a physical output, create headphone mixes, etc.

Please note that how easy (or even possible) it is to use Ferret4x4 highly depends on the host’s audio routing capabilities.
