Free VST - X-cita - Elogoxa

Analog style exciter for mastering purposes, inspired on the BBE Maximizer models.

• Warm sound and very simple to use, this exciter can be very useful to add some subtle brightness in the high frequencies, and make the lows more dense. It has been conceived to be used mainly on the mastering stage, but it's also useful for individual tracks.
• Independent controls for Low and High frequencies, bypass and global Volume Out.
• Completely automatable via MIDI CC (Controls 20,21,22,23,24).
• Moderate CPU use (-8% Athlon XP 2400+).
• Includes 6 presets.

Free VST - Sinnah - NUSofting

 

The Synth

"Sinnah the sinner, is its sin to be free, or is its sin to sound so lush?"

Sinnah is a synth based on a single complex oscillator that includes five waveshapes with increasing spectral complexity, harmonics level for all waveshapes, noise level, and a delay matrix.

The delay matrix can have various configurations, from a "triple chorus" per voice to highly randomized resonators, or tuned relatively to the note played.

The delay matrix can also do multiple slapback echoes.

The feedback control of the matrix can go from zero to extremely saturated and it's modulated by its own envelope.

The output of each voice is stereo via the delay matrix, which features a stereo spread knob.

The main analogue modelled ADSR envelope is loopable: two, three or continuous repeats.

The envelope can modulate the waveshape selection and the harmonics level.

The synth also features a subtractive stereo filter to carve the spectrum of the sound, somehow like an equalizer, with three filters: high pass, low pass and band reject (notch) .

The band reject filter also features gain and bandwidth controls.

Moreover a useful simple reverb is included.

The oscillator is antialiased and can play eight voices or mono, and features octave and fine pitch controls.

The GUI is fully drawn by vectors and resizeable, featuring an oscilloscope and peak meters. And eight colour schemes are available to fit your mood and taste.

An extended ToolTip display provides information for each control at mouseover.
So you don't need to read a lengthy manual to learn what a knob or a slider is for.

The preset system is crossplatform, the files use the YAML format so they are very easy to read and edit if needed. Moreover, the preset names can support the complete international character set.

Sinnah is a VA synth plugin, but instead of the standard subtractive resonant filter it uses a resonant delay network.

Hard to describe its sound by words, despite the few controls the array of possible sounds is wide and wild

Metallurgy is a multi-effect that is capable of providing sounds ranging from basic, subtle, filter tweaks to twisted, complex, walls of sound that bare virtually no resemblance to the original audio.

Metallurgy is a multi-effect that is capable of providing sounds ranging from subtle filter tweaks to twisted and complex walls of sound that bear virtually no resemblance to the original audio. Metallurgy was designed with drums, bass, and synths in mind, but it works well with a wide variety of input material and is useful for many styles of music.

Free VST - Orion Sound Module - SampleScience

The idea behind the Orion Sound Module plugin is to provide a rompler based on public domain samples that can be used to create royalty-free loops. At first, I made the plugin for my own loop production but decided to share it with the world in the spirit of giving back to the community that gave me so much. The result is a 3gigs rompler full of great sounds that cover the basics: pianos, basses, percussion, world instruments, analogue synthesizers and modular synthesis. Orion Sound Module sports a simple and intuitive interface made to be easy to work with. The plugin is perfect to sketch out ideas before using bigger libraries that can tax the RAM and CPU very quickly.

The plugin includes 97 instruments to choose from.
