Just sharing a project I've been working on in free time. Here you'll find some plugins I developed. Those are customized, "hot rod" version emulations of some very well known hardware classic gear, as well as some complete custom design "units". I basically developed the versions I always wanted to have for my own work and sound preference.
Plugins are for Windows only (for now), VST3 format, and are free to download. There are more in the making...
Please, feel free to use them,...

feed in any audio (a sketch, a vocal, a synth take, a field recording), choose a style, set
a length, and it builds a long, evolving ambient bed out of it. Three macro sliders plus a
