Free VST - TAL-U-No-62

The U-NO-60 vst plugin is a polyphonic virtual analogue synth with a unique filter sound. An original JUNO 60 is used as reference for the oscillators and filters.
Like the original, the plugin is capable of self-resonance and thus could be used to some degree as a tone generator.

The filter section also features controls for envelope amount and polarity, LFO modulation and keyboard tracking. In addition, a non-resonant highpass filter is provided to thin out lower frequencies.

The U-NO-60, notwithstanding, few parameters, can make a wide range of different and exciting sounds.

• Polyphonic (6 voices)
• Bandlimited oscillators
• One syncable LFO with five different waveforms
• 24 dB lowpass filter with self oscillation, non-resonant high-pass filter
• Fast ADSR envelopes

Free VST - Kairatune

Kairatune is a monophonic virtual instrument designed to produce crisp and tight electric sounds. Kairatune is engineered for the demanding producer who needs to push the sound to extremes without compromising audio quality. 

Kairatune offers fast and intuitive sound design workflow. The user interface is designed for a musician rather than an engineer and is based on the concept of pitch and tempo in contrast to frequency and time. Kairatune lets you travel in the world of beats, notes and intervals instead of the logarithmic mathematics of frequencies and the rarely useful absolute time. 

Kairatune is not your all-in-one synthesizer. It's designed and engineered to be as powerful and versatile as possible in its target role as your source for tight bass, unique lead and shiny SFX sounds. At the same time it makes all the effort to be simple enough to use, enabling you to add your personal touch and flavor to the sound and seek for the perfect fit to your mixing preferences.

The generator section has just one multi-oscillator. The basic waveform generator is very simple adjustable mix of sawtooth and square wave. The multi-oscillator generates five waveforms whose relative pitch, phase and amplitude may be configured and modulated enabling a rich set of tones. The multi-oscillator uses quite unusual technique that generates a single fundamental signal independently of the (multiple) overtones, preventing the beating effect that arises where several oscillators are output in slightly detuned unison, yet preserving the full and fat sound on the overtone spectrum. The method enables building very rich and vivid sounds on a perfectly solid bottom and is especially useful in creating tight bass and low register lead sounds.

Key features:

• Multi-oscillator sound generator, virtually a single oscillator with the sound of five.
• Independent fundamental generator prevents beating at the bottom while enabling full and vivid treble.
• Tempo synced envelopes and modulators for rhythmic action.
• Advanced stereo image and spatial modulation.
• HPF and BPF delay units, phaser, EQ.
• All parameters accessible at once on a single panel.

Free VST - Moppeltron

Moppeltron employs the Discrete-Summation Formulae (DSF) synthesis technique proposed by James A. Moorer. This technique has capabilities similar to those of frequency modulation, yet it has the advantage that the number of partials can be exactly specified and that also one-sided spectra can be generated. By morphing between two mixes of DSF parameter sets, Moppeltron is capable of synthesizing a wide variety of sounds and effects.

I created Moppeltron using Synthedit, yet it doesn't use native Synthedit oscillators but a unique DSF oscillator which I coded in C++. For v1.1, I also coded a new ADSR module which works just as the native SE module but operates faster.
 

Features

• Two DSF parameter sets defining the partials. Exact specification of the number of partials, the maximum frequency, and all other parameters is possible by using text entry fields. One-sided or two-sided spectra.
• A morphing unit allowing static mixes of the two DSF parameter sets as well as dynamic warping between two mixes using an ADSR envelope or an LFO.
• ADSR envelope and a gain for volume control. Embedded piano keyboard control.
• MIDI control of all parameters. Easy MIDI-CC assignment by MIDI learn function.
• 16 voice polyphony, or mono. Note sliding. Adjustable pitch bend range.
• 64 presets.

Free VST - Blue Cat's Gain Suite

 

Blue Cat's Gain Suite

This plug-in suite is a series of gain utilities which let you control the volume of one or several audio tracks in real time. The interest of these plug-ins resides in their particular features:

First, their automation and advanced MIDI control capabilities (the response curve of the MIDI controllers can be fully customized). Used together with one of our analysis tools or a MIDI controller, these plug-ins let you remotely control and automate the gain of each channel of the audio signal.

Another interesting and exclusive feature is the ability to link several instances of the same plug-in: thanks to our unique data sharing technology, you can control the gain of several tracks at the same time, with advanced response curve capabilities. 

The plug-in bundle contains a stereo and a mid/side version for independent control of the left and right or mid and side channels. It can be very useful for stereo widening/narrowing. Additional information about stereo widening with mid/side processing can be found in our M/S processing paper.

Last but not least, the skinning capabilities of these plug-ins allow you to customize the way you interact with them.

Features

• Mono, stereo and mid/side gain.
• Link several instances of the same plugin and control several plugins from a single user interface with advanced link capabilities.
• Integrated window opacity support (make the user interface of the plugin transparent).

Free VST - TS-999 “SubScreamer”

TS-999 “SubScreamer” is a digital emulation of an overdrive pedal for guitar. It has been developed to accurately model its real hardware counterpart, built for Subhuman guitarists Matteo Buti and Elia Murgia by Ignite Amps in 2010.

The TS-999 core circuit is inspired by the most famous green “808” overdrive pedal, with additional features to increase its versatility. It can easily add dirt and bite to clean guitar tones, as well as make the amplifier distortion sound tighter, more focused and more responsive to picking, avoiding low-end muddiness and high-end fizz.


Every single component on the signal path of the real analog circuit has been taken into account and modeled in the best possible way to match the original sound, keeping an eye to CPU performances and real-time playability at the same time.

TS-999 is meant to be used as an overdrive pedal for live playing, tracking or mixing inside hosts capable of VST or AU Plug-Ins support.

Main Features:

• Dynamic 2N3904 BJT input and output buffers analog modeling.
• Dynamic 1N4148 diode clipping circuit analog modeling.
• Op-amp saturation analog modeling.
• Symmetric / Asymmetric clipping mode.
• Normal / Fat bass response mode.
• Mono / Stereo processing support.
• Switchable Input and Output Buffer modeling to decrease CPU usage.
• Selectable oversampling rate (up to 8x).
• Variable Input Level control for better response to different pickups.
• Double precision (64 bit) floating point mathematical model.
• Fully automatable controls.
• Zero latency.

Free VST - Variety of Sound - NastyVCS

Built around an entirely new opto-electric style compression unit, NastyVCS offers everything you need to shape your channels dynamics and tone. It offers a dedicated input stage featuring crunchy pre-amp saturation and a brickwall safety limiter in the output stage. Everything is set up to work in zero latency and so be available for hassle free tracking and mixing.

Two dedicated filters can be used in either the audio path or in the compressor’s sidechain which can be external as well. Whether pre or post compression, the equalizer section offers four interacting coloring tools with well-selected musical sounding curves. The concept gets rounded off by a phase alignment tool which can be used for coloring purposes as well.

Tips & tricks

• NastyVCS really shines when all the three dynamic tools are properly combined. Condense the dynamics in some small amounts right in the input stage, apply some smooth compression without affecting the punch/transients and then let the limiter eat some peaks at the output
• NastyVCS contains a phase alignment tool which can be used for coloring purposes as well – use that in combination with the input stage or the compressor or both

Free VST - TAL-Vocoder

TAL-Vocoder is a vintage vocoder emulation with 11 bands that emulates the sound of vocoders from the early 80’s. It includes analog modeled components in combination with digital algorithms such as the SFFT (Short-Time Fast Fourier Transform).This vocoder does not make a direct convolution of the carrier and modulation signal as other digital vocoders maybe do. It includes an envelope follower for every of the eleven bands. This vocoder is optimized for voice processing and includes some algorithms for consonants to make the voice more intelligible.

The carrier signal is a VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) with a Pulse, Saw, Noise and SubOsc. But it’s also possible to use the left stereo input as carrier. This way every sound source can be used as carrier signal. This plug-in supports every sample rate.

• 11 band vocoder engine.
• Internal carrier synth (pulse, saw, sub osc, noise, mono, poly, portamento, sync mode, tune).
• Possiblity to route an external carrier signal.
• Harmonic control (adds more harmonics to any carrier signal)
• "Ess" enhancer for a clean understandable voice, also with a carrier that hasnt much high frequencies.
• Clip LED, glows if the input signal will be clipped.
• Panic button stopps hanging notes within the synth.
• Documentation shows different routing possiblities.
• Low CPU usage.

Source code:

• The plugin uses the open source JUCE framework. The TAL source code is released under the Gnu Public Licence, which means it can be freely copied and distributed, and costs nothing to use in open-source applications.

Free VST - Ugoaudio - Rez Yellow/Black

Rez is a seemingly basic synth, but it’s capable of a very wide range of sounds. While Rez has a bunch of cool features, the beating heart of Rez is its filter. It’s made from multiple chained filters acting as a single powerful filter and it’s highly resonant, providing Rez with its distinctive character. Top that off with distortion, a phaser, various oscillator modulations, delay, and a killer programmable arp and step sequencer, and you’ve got a powerhouse of a synth in a very small package. 

From funky squishes, beastly basses, and screaming leads, to tight arpeggiations, swirling rhythms, atmospheres, bells, and interesting effects, you’ll find it all here. Additionally, it comes with two skins - Yellow & Black, or Black & Yellow.

Features:

• Virtual analog oscillators
• Sub-oscillator
• Detune (modulatable via aftertouch)
• Programmable phrase arpeggiator
• Step sequencer (arp driven) with four mod destinations
• Highly resonant low pass filter with velocity, LFO, and envelope modulation

Additional Features:

• "Age" control (noise to pitch)
• Two types of phase modulation

• Beastly overdrive with three tone modes
• Dual delay with stereo width adjustment
• Phaser with optional LFO and velocity modulation
• MIDI learn for all controls

Free VST - Noisebud Filter

Noisebud Filter consists of 4 filters (or 16, depending on how you look upon it), they are switchable between Lo pass, hi pass, band pass and band reject filter. 

The signals from the four filters are wired in a parallel chain. Every filter can be controlled by three different LFOs where one is tempo-synced; one normal and one extremely slow (a sLoFO).

The LFO sections also have something Noisebud call VariFO. It adds another movement to the LFO and makes it less predictable. 

Every filter has an invert button so that you can silence frequencies that collide during heavy LFO movements, this and the VariFO is probably what make Noisebud filter special.
