Grand-Piano-XXL_3

Grand Piano XXL is a sampled Yamaha C5 6’7″ Grand Piano.

The original samples (Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license) were recorded by Alexander Holm with two AKG c414 condenser microphones placed in an AB position at around 12 centimeters above the strings.

All the samples were captured in 48kHz 24-bit audio quality with 16 velocity layers which are all present in this virtual plugin, hence the 1.19 GB size on disk.

The GUI is simple and intuitive with attack & release controls, reverb module, and gain. In the middle, there’s a “Tremolo” section with LFO rate & depth for pitch, expression, and pan, plus filter cutoff with selectable lowpass/highpass. The “Key” knob acts as a gain for piano keys release.

Overview
Shape is a simple waveshaper/wavefolder effect that has 5 shaping curves, Hard Clip, Soft Clip, Tube, Triangle, and Sine.

 

User Interface
  • Scope
    • The scope visualizes shaping curve (transfer function) that maps Input and output values to the horizontal and vertical axes, respectively.
      The darker orange color line visualizes the shaping curve.
      The brighter orange color line visualizes the range of the audio signal.
      The shape selector selects the shaping curve.
  • Input
    • The Input control adjusts the amount of gain. Increasing the amount of gain produces more harmonics.
  • Bias
    • The bias control adjusts the amount of bias. The bias creates asymmetrical distortion, producing warm even harmonics.
  • Dry/Wet
    • The dry/wet control adjusts the balance of the dry and wet signal.
  • Output
    • The Output control adjusts the output volume.
  • Oversampling
    • The Oversampling chooser selects the oversampling factor. Oversampling reduces alias noise caused by nonlinear effects such as saturator, overdrive, distortion, and clipper. Increasing the oversampling factor can reduce alias noise more, but increases CPU load and latency.

Operating the controls
  • Fine-tune the knob
    • To fine-tune the knob, hold down the shift key and drag the knob.
  • Reset the knob
    • To reset the knob to the default value, double-click the knob.

System Requirements
  • VST3/AU – macOS 10.11 – 11 (Intel/Apple Silicon) 64-bit
  • VST3 – Windows 10 64-bit

ferrictds_1-5_l

FerricTDS mkII introduces operating level calibration for better gain staging and output volume compensated processing.

The update also includes the following changes:

– Metering ballistics revised and aligned accordingly.
– Updated tape compression algorithms increasing punch, adding 2nd order harmonic processing, less IMD.
– Updated limiter algorithm featuring ADC style converter clipping.
– All non-linearities are running at higher sampling frequencies internally.
– Adding a sophisticated analog signal path emulation.

The plugin is free to download for Windows as a 32- and 64-bit VST plugin.

off-grid_3

Off-Grid is a drum machine oriented for layering and experimentation.

The plugin contains a large variety of different percussive types, which can be accessed/cycled entirely from the UI on the fly without ever breaking the signal flow.

Each of the 7 channels run on 4 voices distributed for each cell unit where you can select and do other processing such as pitching, reverse, loop, as well as layer mixing etc.

A series of random triggers are significant part of the plugin workflow as a single touch may change the entire channel output, or simply adjust the panning or gain values.

  • Fast Unique workflow.
  • Responsive and instant load of sounds.
  • 448 percussive sounds.
  • Rock solid sample interpolation (tested in multiple DAW’s).
  • Smooth Pitch Processing.
  • Reverse and Loop individual Cells.
  • Fast randomization of Layers and Channels.
  • Fully vector based UI.
  • Low / Moderate CPU usage.

Wavegrove Vastaus v1.1.3 Germanium x64 x86 VST VST3 AU WIN MAC [FREE] 0 (0)

1.1.0

Vastaus is a high-end fixer.
Vastaus lives on instrument channels, buses and it is known to have been spotted on the master channel too. Feel free to use and abuse it. Try to add an EQ before Vastaus and push the highs way overboard and how Vastaus reacts.

It is at it’s most neutral at Input Gain and Tame at 0, at which time it brings down and blocks overly harsh high frequencies present in vocal esses, smooths cymbals, guitars and pretty much anything you throw at it.

Increasing Tame brings enhances that effect, but also brings in more options with the React switch, as well as with the Bias setting. React is a mode, where Tame starts to let through some transients in a really interesting way, bringing out more detail and clarity, but still smoothing the sound. With Bias, you can further control the sound by limiting the effect to either the positive or negative side of the audio samples, generating harmonics in the process. I have heard this referred to as silky, and apparently some well-known hardware unit makers use a process similar to this.

Lastly there is Gain. With the Input Gain, you control the overall signal boost you get going into the thing, while the Output Gain works as a pad, with 100% level adding no additional volume. Boosting the input gain can bring additional high end to the signal after taming it, which is especially useful with instruments such as the electric guitar. In conjunction with the use of the Bias knob, Vastaus can even act as a leveling tool, which also boosts and extends the high end frequencies far above where they ended in the original signal.

Use the Wet knob to blend the changed signal with the original in whatever way you want.

SPKR-v1.dll is 32-bit windows ONLY Broken Speaker FX / distortion plugin. Designed to emulate blown speakers, malfunctioning stereos and obscure acoustics.

Input is fed into two parallel bandpass filters, and then into a few custom waveshapers (select via “M” mode knob). Before going into waveshaper, DC Offset and Gain can be adjusted. After going through the waveshapers, two more parallel bandpass filters are used, and then “fake stereo” is added via delaying stereo channels, and volume of each filter independently adjustable.

This design comes from the concept of poorly assembled tone circuitry or circuit bent amplification, combined with the effect of broken/blown speakers or speakers with weird frequency response caused by physical conditions. Basically is a circuit-bendable amplifier. This can mangle sound really intensely to almost unrecognizable, or add subtler excitation, saturation or filtering.

Comes with a few built in presets. Made with synthedit, with the blessings of Jeff himself. Thanks Jeff :). x86

Ultra clean peak compressor/limiter with punchy attack, musical release, and optional lookahead smoothing, for tracks or busses. Zero/low latency and low CPU. Warm distortion at extreme settings.

Features:

  • Fast or same-sample attack times that never sound “clicky”, even in zero latency mode.
  • Innovative digital envelope detection algorithm allows for much lower distortion than typical peak compressors (see a plot of a 1kHz hard limited sine wave in zero latency mode).
  • Optional lookahead FIR gain smoothing for an even cleaner sound.
  • True zero attack (same-sample) when “0.0 ms” is selected.
  • Dual parallel release stage with musical, highly history-dependent behaviour. Avoids use of multiple compressors in series.
  • Easy sidechain filtering options for common mixing situations.
  • Low CPU, fully 64-bit DSP code, making full use of SSE instructions. Insert on every track without a second thought.
  • Zero latency with lookahead off. With lookahead on, compensated latency of 1.5ms.
  • No phase shift: can be used in parallel.

SL473-VintageVinylDiscCuttingCompressor

“Based off of a VCA design, this compressor has a unique compressor/limiter/expander function that can shape the dynamics of your source. This compressor was the main compressor for vinyl disc cutting from the late 1970’s and on. Known for transparent clean compression, you can really compress the source without the typical negative effects.

The expander controls are found to the left with yellow knobs. The expander has a fixed attack and ratio, giving the user control of the Threshold and Recovery of the expander. The compressor is controlled by the black knobs, with the ratio knob being red. The compressor has a fixed threshold, to manage the fixed threshold, the user can add gain with the “Compr Gain” knob.

Like the original hardware, this compressor has a small learning curve. But once you get accustom to how this compressor works, you will see how it deals with dynamics in a extremely musical way.

This compressor really excels on Mastering, Mix Bus, Drum Groups, and Vocals.”
