OneClickChords - Nano Saturate v1.0 VST3 - Windows - Free

Nano Saturate is the fastest way to saturate your sound, for free!
It was developed to create the sound of modern progressive house and sounds best on distorted Supersaws.

Nano Saturate includes 11 different saturation algorithms to choose from. This VST also includes a invisible limiter. The limiter never lets the peak level of the wet signal surpass the peak level of the original signal (exceptions occur when using the stereo knob).
The algorithm also has automatic resonance detection, which then can be controlled using the Drone/Resonance knobs.

Instructions
Tab Control : Select from 11 different Saturation Algorithms.
Mix : how much you want the Wet signal to be mixed with the dry signal.
Power : Increases the intensity of any of the 11 Saturation Modes.
Resonance : Reduce the resonance that gets detected by algorithm.
Stereo: Increase the stereo of the Saturation up to 200% or decrease it down to mono.
Drone : Any Sound that is not resonance or not part of the original signal gets classified as "Drone."
You can Increase or decrease the drone sound with this knob.

The true fact is that the DSP563 community emulations will not be really free. It is a huge mistake to believe that or to make believe that. Why? Because the ROMs must already be owned by the user to make these emulations work. And these ROMS are not free at all. The DSP563 Community develops only the emulation software code, but the emulation software code is not enough to make work, the original ROM of the emulated synth is absolutely required. Without this ROM the software is NOTHING. And the ROMS are not free, they even are expensive. Developing and distributing these emulation softwares is not illegal, but all copy not purchased of one of these ROMs is totally illegal, is it necessary to recall it? It is even clearly mentioned in the FAQ.

So no, the DSP563 community emulations have nothing to do in a thread dedicated in free softwares.

I read your post. But it's free to download and that's why it's in the Best Free Software...right too.

 

I can‘t find those ROM‘s anywhere on that website, are you sure they are included?
In the FAQ it states that "You will need a compatible ROM to use the plugin! We can not and will not provide any ROMs!"
edit: just saw that BlackWinny already mentioned it.. yeah but I would say since this doesn‘t work without the ROMs and you either have to buy or illegally download them it‘s not free

 

Thanks @def12 for the hint! I uploaded the missing ROMS, the download link is in your mailbox.

Are you sick of manually nudging around legato notes and fiddling with track delays? Foresight processes incoming MIDI to make every note sound exactly on the beat, from quantized, non-overlapped input.

Just use temp-mail.org and you don't even have to use a real mail address to register. I used this plenty of times for
free plugins that required a registration to get free licenses or dl links. Now all those sites have accounts with mail
addresses that don't even exist anymore, lol

 

You are so mean!!

 

I'm doing this already (just yesterday Wavesfactory SK10 from dev), I only wanted to point out that you need to create an account.

 

And usually now the website sends a confirmation email with a mandatory click to confirm the validity of the address.

(I still don't know why I have been able to download the pack while having no Reverb account, I feel lucky... )
