Wave Arts Tube Saturator Vintage

​

Use Tube Saturator to add a bit of analog warmth to recordings, or increase the drive for some distortion. You can use it as a saturating peak limiter too. The circuit simulation technology is extremely CPU intensive and a fast computer is recommended to run the plug-in.

If anyone is interested, good free amp simulators and room emulations from EXE Consulting are available on the kvraudio

 

Do not know if anyone's come across these before, Windows only but a 10-band compressor and a tape machine simulator seem like a few I'll give a try, Free of course http://www.canasanmartin.com.ar/plugins/
It's a MediaFire download link which you can skip to straight away and grab them by clicking this:

Cheers for the stuff I have missed, Got some catching up to do/new toys to have a looksee at and play with.

Wave Arts giving their original Tube Saturator away for free is really quite unbelievable, Nebula/acustica audio aside I personally think that SoundToys with their Little Radiator and Radiator Altec 1567-based valve preamp and EQ along with Wave Arts' Tube Saturator original/v2 are two of the best sounding/responding/behaving/character wise of any plugin supposed to be emulating valve/vacuum tube gear which aren't guitar pre-amp based as far as algorithmic design/implementation goes, I got Little Radiator free when SoundToys did them annual SxSW "little" versions of upcoming releases. That really is one of the classiest pieces of freeware or any-price-ware.
I shelled out for the one they've released now to the land of the free and second version Tube Saturator, However I'm not at all the sort to view such a move as "oh I could've saved shekels on that, Because I purchased a license ages ago, How dare they release it for free...whine, whine, whine and bitch, bitch complain" (I do hope that you all know the sort of perpetual moaning arsehole types that I'm talking about, Ten a penny on KVR, GS and so on). I genuinely believe IMextremelyHumbleHO it's a great idea to set free something which would otherwise probably have been discontinued with a legacy installer for people that didn't buy into the second version, It is damned good, Way to good to be left unused. Hope that more developers pick up on that move for the future.

All the best to all as always, Again all the linkage is much appreciated

is there some hidden magazine redacteur? I've noticed everytime we post something the online magazines write an update of new "discoveries"...

 

Probably, everybody needs material if they are a technical reviewer and need to pile up the word count for a writing gig or their own blog. Because of yourself, thantrax and a few others are so very much on the ball, scouring all likely sources to bring to our attention so much of the latest free audio software, your's is not a farfetched idea. This thread is and has been a fine and consistent resource.

Phutura VSTi
Downloads:
http://vst4free.com/free_vst.php?plugin=Phutura&id=1026

• Overview
  Phutura is a virtual synthesizer inspired by 80's hardware synth Alpha Juno, best known for the Hoover sound. Its edgy and futuristic feel makes it perfect choice for Lead and Chord Stab type of sounds, suitable for use in dark & energetic styles of music, i.e.: Techno, Rave, Drum&Bass, Electro, Hardstyle, Dubstep.

Philteroid VSTfx
Downloads:
http://vst4free.com/free_vst.php?plugin=Philteroid&id=1310

• Overview
  Philteroid is a dual filter effect, suitable for use on various type of rhythmic sounds (i.e. drums, bass, synth, guitar). Beside pure filter work, Philteroid is also capable of FM, AM and saturation, and can transform plain sound to one with unique character and interesting texture.

Various filter types, from basic (LP, BP, HP, BR) to uncommon ones, can be obtained with filter type blend control and parallel/serial routing of filters. Filters can be synced in eleven predefined harmonic offsets between filter frequencies and modulated internally by audio signal (FM), ADSR envelope, envelope follower, LFO; or trough external input.
Philteroid is also armed with various amplitude modulation sources and can be used as envelope sharper, expander, noise gate, ring modulator.

XenFont2
The Stereo SF2 SoundFont Synthesizer VSTi Featuring MTS Full Keyboard Microtuning
http://xen-arts.net/xenfont2-stereo-microtonal-sf2-soundfont-vsti/


by Xen-Arts

XenFont2 (Windows 32-bit VSTi) is a stereo, two oscillator, hybrid SF2 SoundFont & Subtractive Synthesis VSTi that features full-controller MIDI Pitch Microtuning using the MTS (MIDI Tuning Standard) format, where any MIDI Note Number can be freely microtuned to any desired pitch across the MIDI range, enabling computer musicians and composers to explore the vast expressive possibilities of composing music with alternative intonation systems.

XenFont2 is a microtonal sound-designer’s SF2 sample-based synthesizer, with a carefully designed ergonomic workflow for quickly creating powerful sounding and musical useful timbres. The instrument enables users to load their own stereo SF2 SoundFont files and thereby any special timbres required of the music at hand, from classical acoustic instruments, to synthesized ones. Routing the SF2 SoundFont Oscillators through the internal synthesis functions of the VSTi, provides a way to radically transform the original sounds and create new synthesized timbres.

XenFont2 is also an educational tool for learning about computer music sound-design, sampling and subtractive sound synthesis, as well as musical instrument intonation (aka microtuning and xenharmonics).

XenFont2 embodies a design philosophy of simplicity for microtonal music sound-design:

• A knob-less design primarily featuring slider controls, which enables intuitive direct control with a computer mouse
• A dedicated control signal system mapped to the most important synthesis functions
• Settings are made by typing values into fields, dropdown lists, left-and-right arrows, switches and sliders
• Enables musicians to specify precise microtonal pitch-bend settings
• Features arbitrary microtonal oscillator transposition settings
• MIDI-CC modulation of harmonics enables dynamically playing harmonics of the fundamental pitch

 

IVOR2

IVOR2 • The Microtonal Virtual Analog Synthesizer by Xen-Arts


A SUBTRACTIVE, FM, XFM & RM SYNTHESIS VSTI FEATURING MTS FULL KEYBOARD MICROTUNING • FOR WINDOWS AND LINUX

Xen-Arts is very excited to present IVOR2, a significant evolution and refinement of the original Ivor microtonal virtual analog synthesizer design.

IVOR2 is a freeware 32-bit VSTi plugin for Windows. The instrument may be used in Bitwig Studio on Ubuntu Linux 15.04 (bridged with Airwave VST-bridge).

IVOR2 is a two-oscillator subtractive, FM, XFM and RM synthesizer that features full-controller MIDI Pitch Microtuning using MTS (MIDI Tuning Standard), where any MIDI Note Number can be freely microtuned to any desired pitch across the MIDI range, thereby enabling musicians and composers to explore the vast expressive possibilities of composing music with alternative intonation systems.

IVOR2 is a microtonal sound-designer’s virtual analog synthesizer with a carefully designed ergonomic workflow for quickly creating powerful sounding and musically useful timbres.

IVOR2 excels at making categories of timbres that include bass, distortion, keys, pads, broken, weird, leads and other analog synthesis types of sounds.

PolyGAS
http://stone-voices.ru/vst/polygas?lang=en
(Polyphonic Granular Advanced Synthesizer) - the virtual synthesizer of the VSTi format (the VST protocol of version 2.4) providing operation as the connected plug-in to DAW (digital audio workstation), for example, such as: FL Studio, Ableton Live, Sony Acid Pro, Cockos Reaper, PreSonus Studio One, Cakewalk Sonar and others.
This synthesizer is based on a granular method of sound synthesis, allowing to use as much as possible possibilities of this method of synthesis.
