Just one of the plugins included in the freeware pack is the nifty vintage styled phaser to twist your audio stream.
VST plugin for OSX and PC. Plugins also available as DXi and RTAS and AU.

Modeled after vintage analog phaser circuits, Blue Cat's Phaser reproduces this old vintage phasing effect that you can find on so many recordings, but with the precision of modern digital processing techniques. You can choose to apply up to 32 phasing stages, pushing the model to its limits, or create a subtle phasing effect with wet and feedback parameters set to a few percents.

You can also control the phase of the signal in the wet and feedback paths (these parameters can have negative values), which extends the possibilities of the model: the included factory presets will show you how many sounds you can get from this effect.

The MIDI control capabilities of this plug-in let you use it with any hardware or software MIDI controller, and the User Interface is totally customizable thanks to Blue Cat's Skinning Language support.

For a stereo widening phasing effect, check our Blue Cat's Stereo Phaser plugin.

MAC Only (OSX 10.4 - 10.5)
Impromptu is an interactive music programming language which is oriented towards AU units.

By writing schemas you can control and manage standard AU Plugins.

Monz .. A command line language you may be interested in.

What is Impromptu?

Impromptu is an OSX programming environment for composers, sound artists, VJ's and graphic artists with an interest in live or interactive programming. Impromptu is a Scheme language environment, a member of the Lisp family of languages.

Time plays a major role in the Impromptu environment allowing accurate real-time scheduling of events and code. Impromptu is a dynamic environment designed for the creation and manipulation of running programs in live performance.

Impromptu is a programmable AudioUnit host. A powerful environment for creating signal processing graphs of arbitrary complexity with precise programmatic control over individual AU nodes. Musical material can be precisely scheduled for performance by any AudioUnit instrument node and parameters, program changes and presets can be programmatically changed on-the-fly as well as directly via the AU's user interface.

Impromptu allows you to write, modify, compile and hot swap custom signal processing code - an ability that allows you to write low level sound synthesis code during live performance. This functionality is designed to interoperate with the AudioUnit signal graph allowing you to freely mix your favorite AudioUnits with custom synthesis code. All on-the-fly of course.

Graphics routines can be applied with the same temporal accuracy as audio material allowing artists to tightly integrate audio and visual components. OpenGL, live video processing, vector drawing routines, image rendering, CoreImage filters, text rendering and quicktime movie support are a few of the graphics features available for artists to play with.

Impromptu also includes a bidirectional ObjC-Bridge allowing Scheme to instantiate and call ObjC objects and ObjC objects to call back into the Scheme interpreter. An LLVM based scheme->x86 compiler is also available supporting on-the-fly compilation of scheme code for audio signal processing, OpenGL, numeric processing and alike.

A windows VSTi subtractive synth that generates some really pure sounds. It lacks any LFO modulation, but you can process the raw sounds with an effects box.

Attn. Cyborg - run this sucker thru Effectrix for some great riffs.  Some great tracks on the web site to get the idea.

About Asymptotic Valley

   Asymptotic Valley was founded in 2009 by Jara Kolejka aka Inorganic. Inorganic1 is my first version of virtual synth based on simple and user friendly design. I recognized the oscilloscope is very useful tool for creating and shaping the sound so I hope you will  apprecite it in Inorganic1 as a standard feature. Also the desing is real perspective 3D design so you can feel the hardware under your hands. Enjoy this free software and share it with your friends.

Subject: Wraith - More softer synth sounds from HG Fortune
jpumphandle

Another specialty synth - Wraith - based on Anomaly - a soundfont player.
WINDOWS ONLY - VST Plugin

Wraith - a Free Anomaly demo and .sf2 player created by HG Fortune

Wraith comes with an internal soundset composed of 32 sounds from Anomaly 3 - Pads, 32 sounds from Anomaly IV - Wasteland and 32 sounds from Anomaly VI - Textures in Bank 0. In Bank 1 are 96 sounds provided by HG Fortune.

There is an internal bank of 128 presets by Daniel Kemp. The first 64 presets use only sounds in Bank 0 while the last 64 presets use sounds from both Bank 0 and Bank 1.

Wraith will also load external .SF2 files. So you can use other soundfonts and combine them with either the Anomaly or the HG Fortune sounds, or use it as a .SF2 player.

From the manual:

A fairly compact VSTi Synthesizer featuring:

as soundsources:
two oscillators with sf2 based PCM waveforms

as modifiers:
one 24dB Lowpass filter with resonance per synthvoice
one Spook fx as global fx
one BassEnhancer to enhance low frequencies (works indenpendently from panned signal)
one Brilliance knob to enhance upper frequencies
one delay synced to bpm with manual offset knob;

as sources for modulation:
two ADSR envelope generators (one for Filter, one for VCA)
four LFO and one Sample & Hold;

All in all Wraith is capable of producing quite a variety of sounds among most noticeable are stunning sync sounds, fairly unique pads and fx sounds plus. With a good response on the lower frequency range one might achieve quite 'huge' and deep sounds too.

Another Demonic plugin from Mokafix
A very nice effect especially designed for stereo audio processing.

Demonica

Mutine is a synthedit made vst audio effect, based on the Mutator.

I made two different versions, one for the vintage realistic look aficionados, and the other, with a more user friendly interface.

} Mutine1

} Mutine2

 

Mutine is 2 envelope followers and 2 lfo's, that triggers volume or cutoff

Envelope followers can be set to follow left channel, right channel or both.

The effect can also be set to apply on left, right or both channels.

That way, you can use Mutine on a group channel, with for instance, a drum on left that triggers envelope follower, and a pad on right, that will be chopped by drum pattern.

 

Mutine also responds to midi notes

A windows only Plugin.
Comes with a very notable Manual and is unusual to say the least.

Why Major since it encompasses Minor chords as well?

it spews out 3 channels of midi - a solo channel, a chord fundamental and any of the selected chords.
Up to 16 chords can be sequenced by midi triggers. And you have a very wide selection of chords that can be fitted to sequence slots.

It is also a twin soundfont player and plays a solo patch and chords on a chord patch at the same time. The only hitch is that your soundfont file must be named 'library.sf2'. A 42 patch soundfont file is included to get you going.

Very complete and musical piece of software that can offer inspiration.



-free PC VST plugins-



major sketch pad

Ideal for musicians with writer's block or knob
twiddlers who easily get distracted by fine tuning
soundscapes and ending up not getting any music done.
No, this is not some psuedo-random-crap, you are in
control of your music all the time when using the
sketch pad. This is an arrangement utility rather than
a music production tool.



so what does it do and why do i need one ?

The major sketch pad is basically a step sequencer combined with a chorder. Each time it gets triggered by a midi note the step sequencer steps forward
and each step can contain a new, different chord. The chords aren't locked to a predefined pitch. This means that you can try out chord combinations and
see how your melodies will sound with different chords applied to them, or just jam away.

The main idea behind the sketch pad is to make it easier for people who are having a hard time coming up with songs to at least get a "rough" arrangement
sketch that they can continue to work with. It is, after all, often the beginning of a song that is the hard part to come up with.

Just a bugfix, but this is one of the easiest VST's to install and use on the MAC.
It is also available as a AU and a PC VST plugin.
The plate styled reverb is very subtle and can be used where carefully modeled space is desired.

VST TAL-Reverb

TAL-Reverb is a free open source stereo plate reverb based on juce. Its very diffuse and has its own sound because of its special signal routing. Slight modulated delay times avoid artefacts in the reverb tail and give this reverb its smooth sound.

This reverb is suitable if you need to put space around voices, drums, percussion, guitars and so on.

Maybe you try it on some percussion sounds to find out if you like it. Because of the few knobs, this plugin should be is easy to use.
  • Easy to use plate reverb.
  • Smooth diffuse sound.
  • 12 dB High- and Low-Pass filter.
  • Pre delay, up to one second.
  • Usable for a wide range of sounds, especially percussion, drums, voices, guitars and so on.
  • Midi Learn (vst's only)
  • 10 presets.
  • open source
