VST Plugin Analyser

VST Plugin Analyser free development-tool by Christian Budde

VST Plugin Analyser is a free development tool plugin developed by Christian Budde. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

VST Plugin Analyser is a measurement tool for VST Plugins. It can be used by plugin developers for debugging and as a quality control tool, since it can work with virtually any sample rate and any VST Host settings. Furthermore several automated tests are included.

A simple interface makes it easy to use for anyone. Predefined measurements allow to measure the impulse response and thus the magnitude and phase response of any VST effect plugin. Different excitation signals also allow to get an overview how non-linearities affect the impulse response. For further nonlinear investigations, a dedicated waveshaper measurement is available. Beside that, a complete suite of unique measurements for dynamics (compressor/limiters) is available.

The measurement results can be saved in several formats. Impulse responses, can be saved as WAV or CSV (for import in to Excel). All plots can be stored as Bitmap/PNG or SVG (only available on request). Furthermore it is possible to copy the measured data to MATLAB for further processing.

Specifications:

  • Fully customisable VST host.
  • Can work faster than real time, allowing to present results instantly.
  • Works virtually with any given sample rate.
  • Every VST parameter is adjustable without using the GUI.
  • Several built-in measurements such as:
    • Impulse Response Measurement (including magnitude and phase response).
    • Harmonic Distortion (including THD, THD+N values).
    • CPU Performance Test (including P4-bug check).
    • Harmonic Response (fast frequency response measurement of K2, K3…).
    • Waveshaper measurement.
    • Several dynamic measurements (e.g. static characteristic, attack/release time, etc.).
    • Built-in generator for white and pink noise.
    • Workbench for virtually every test available (on request).
  • Plots can be saved as WAV, CSV, BMP/PNG and SVG (on request).
  • Special KVR export available to produce graphics optimized for the KVR-Forum.
  • Data can be transferred to MATLAB for further processing.
  • (Last) settings are stored in an INI file.

VST Plugin Preset Match

VST Plugin Preset Match free other-utility by Christian Budde

VST Plugin Preset Match is a free audio and studio utility Stand Alone plugin developed by Christian Budde. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b.

With VST Plug-in Preset Match it is possible to match the settings of a VST 2.x plug-in to a given reference VST plug-in preset for a certain piece of music. By using a metaheuristics DE algorithm, the matching result will improve continuously over time (if matching is possible at all). With the included ASIO VST plug-in it is also possible to match a VST plug-in to an external hardware device.

This tool can be especially useful if you have older tracks, which use particular effects, which are not maintained anymore (e.g. did not yet make the step to 64-bit). Instead of recreating the plug-in’s settings by hand, the tool can match the plug-in settings to the reference as good as possible. Not seldom, the same results can also be achieved with much less effort. For example, a graphic EQ setting can be replaced with a set of parametric peak EQ filters.

With the latest version 1.0.4, the example VST Plug-ins that were shipped to demonstrate the program are also available separately. However, please note, that these were not intended to be used outside this program (although it is likely that they work fine). This is due to the fact, that each plugin could not be tested with every host. Also there is no support beyond this tool.

The VST Plug-in Preset Match as contribution for the KVR Developer Contest will not be developed further, but – if popular enough – will be integrated in the VST Plugin Analyser 2.0. The development of version 2.0 will be partially crowd founded. Further information can be found here.

VST MuRF_Controller

VST MuRF_Controller free midi-controller by Moog Music

VST MuRF_Controller is a free midi controller VST plugin developed by Moog Music. Compatible OS(s): Windows, macOS.

VST MuRF_Controller is a free software VST controller plug-in for Moog Music’s popular MF-105M MIDI MuRF pedal.

The MIDI MuRF (Multiple Resonance Filter Array) is an advanced combination of two legendary Moog pedals: the MF-105 MuRF and the MF-105B Bass MuRF. It utilizes an 8 band array of resonant filters with a pre-programmed animation section to create unlimited unique sequenced filter effects.

MuRF_Controller is an exciting addition for any MIDI MuRF owner wanting to easily control and expand its power and capabilities from within their DAW.

Features include:

  • Full automation functionality: use your DAW’s plugin automation tools to create fully automated parameter changes on the MIDI MuRF. Every knob and every filter is now “easily” edited from the MuRF_Controller.
  • Create, recall and save presets: Quickly capture and recall any amazing sound you have created on your MIDI MuRF. Once you’ve discovered a sound, you can easily save it within your MuRF_Controller plug-in.
  • Envelope Scale: Allows you to access a time multiplier for the envelope that “stretches” or “shrinks” the duration of the envelope without changing the envelope shape. Changing the envelope time scale independent from the pattern rate provides a whole new range of sonic effects.
  • LFO Rate: Allows direct access to the MuRF’s LFO speed.
  • Staccato and Triplet mode: Allows access to even more creative musical timing modes in the MIDI MuRF.
