We are happy to announce the release of ValhallaSupermassive 3.0.0, featuring two new reverb/delay modes, Leo And Virgo.



Leo: Very slow attack, super long decay, very high echo density, filtering in the feedback loop for more realistic reverb decay.
Virgo: Fast attack, short decay, very low echo density, filtering in the feedback loop, great for complex echoes.

From the announcement:

Leo: The Most Massive Reverb In Supermassive

The new Leo mode is the most super massive-est of all the Supermassive modes. It has a very slow attack, a long to VERY long decay that is controlled by both Density and Feedback, and a high echo density, with balanced modulation. Leo interleaves the high and low EQ filters throughout the reverb network, which means that the reverb decay can be dark, shrill, bass heavy, whisper light, or just perfectly balanced. I find Leo is ideal for big synthesizer sounds, as well as realistic cathedral sounds and other long reverbs.

Virgo: Sparse Reverb, or Complex Delay?

Virgo is the smallest and sparsest mode in Supermassive. It has a fast attack, and basically sounds and behaves like a stereo delay until the Density control is turned up. With higher Density settings, it still sounds like a grainy delay, that kinda sorta turns into a reverb. Virgo is great for pointillistic echoes, spring-ish reverb sounds, and other sparse effects that create more space around your sounds.. While Leo produces a lush wash of sound, Virgo allows you to hear the space between the echos.

The LATE 2023 preset folder is chock full of presets that show off the Leo and Virgo modes. We highly recommend using these presets as the jumping point for your own explorations.

NIH-plug is a FREE plugin framework, and you can currently download eight FREE VST plugins to try it out, including a free Disperser emulation.

JUCE has long dominated the audio DSP development realm. Having a readily available framework for development is a fantastic resource for those venturing into making their own plugins. Competition is always good, and NIH-plug brings an open-source framework for developing plugins in RUST.

NIH-plug is platform agnostic and comes with a handful of plugins for producers to use without touching a line of code.

Buffr Glitch is a MIDI-triggered buffer repeater and brings that wonderfully digital glitching sound to your audio. It is a rather clever implementation as well, using the duration of a note to act as a trigger for generating the duration of the glitch effect.

Crisp adds some top end to your basses and is great for bringing out some presence and body to your low-end instruments.

Crossover splits your audio into two to five bands. This is a super basic implementation but does have linear crossover filters. You can essentially process any audio you want as separate outputs, mangling however you wish.

Diopser is a phase rotation plugin inspired by Kilohearts Disperser. It sounds great on kicks or bass. I wouldn’t run this on both at the same time, though.

Loudness War Winner is a “loudener” for lack of a better term. Supremely glad that I have my tracks in Reaper dimmed to -8dB by default before assaulting my eardrums with the sheer volume this pumps out.

Puberty Simulator is an amusing plugin that acts as a pitch shifter that lowers your signal by an octave. It occasionally crackles or goes out of tune. The developer claims this is a joke, but it very well could have some utility in production.

Safety Limiter is the perfect companion to Loudness War Winner. When you have an overage, your DAW signals out an SOS in morse code. Your monitors or headphones get to call for help in a readily recognized international format.

The Spectral Compressor is the real star of the show here and can absolutely smash material. If OTT’s three bands aren’t enough for you, then take full advantage of the FFT bands present in this one.

These plugins are available for all major operating systems, with Windows, Linux, and Mac support. You will need a 64-bit host, and supported plugin formats are VST3 and CLAP. For nightly builds, you can snag them all in one convenient bundle linked below.

Not new but I just discoverd this and I think I really like it. Maybe a bit PPG / Waldorf - ish? It's 32 bit.

EB-Blasphemy: Free Aphex Twin Glitch Multi-Effects Plug-in | Random glitch sounds for electronic music producers

A Freeware With Spectral Effects for Breakcore and Aphex Twin Fans

the centrepiece of EB-Blasphemy is an intelligent sample slicer. Although designed as an ‘Amen break chopper’, it can slice any sample – from drum loops to vocals to synth riffs – into random, tempo-synced slices. A randomisation control allows you to create rhythmic variations, with a range of effects options to tweak each slice. The plugin is easy to use: simply activate the Gen option for generative playback, press the Trigger button to start the sample playback process, and the plugin will immediately begin generating loops in new rhythmic forms.

Ewan Bristow’s EB Blasphemy is now available as a ‘pay what you want‘ (freeware is possible) download from the developer’s website. EB-Blasphemy is based on the freely available Plugdata programming environment and can be used as a VST3, AU, CLAP or LV2 plugin in popular DAWs on MacOS, Windows and Linux. Installation of Plugdata is required as it runs the plugin.

AFT SonicDeCloner is a dedicated freeware audio de-duplication tool that automatically detects acoustically similar audio files (duplicates or "clones") within a folder. Instead of comparing bits and bytes, the tool actually "listens" to the sound — just like a human ear would. It utilizes a sophisticated, proprietary, and patented acoustic fingerprinting algorithm, part of AFT (Audio Fingerprinting Tools) of www.AudioWatermarking.com and www.AudioTag.info, to match audio content by analyzing acoustic data, regardless of file format or compression. The AFT algorithm focuses on matching the acoustic data, not the melody, and only identifies clones when the audio recordings are from the same performance or original source.

The tool is completely stand-alone and works offline. It accepts a wide range of audio file formats with the following extensions: mpg, mp2, mpe, mpv, ogg, mp4, m4p, m4v, mp3, mpa, aac, oga, aif, iff, m4a, wav, wma, 3g2, 3gp, asf, avi, flv, mov, swf, vob, wmv, mpeg, opus, and webm.

AFT SonicDeCloner is proudly provided to you free of charge for personal, non-commercial use by AudioWatermarking.com — technology vendor and expert in acoustic fingerprinting and audio watermarking.

Soundtoys PhaseMistress, analog-style phase shifter is a FREE download for a limited time

Soundtoys is giving away its PhaseMistress analog-style phase shifter plugin as a free download through November 15, 2024 (reg. $99). November 1st marks the start of Black November, when there are many plugin deals and numerous free plugins. As a reminder, one of last year’s freebie highlights was the Soundtoys Little Plate reverb.

This year, another ST plugin is available for free for a limited time and is even better. Soundtoys announced giving away its PhaseMistress analog-style phaser plugin, regularly $99, as a free download through November 15, 2024.

PhaseMistress is an analog-style phase shifter effect plugin that captures the sounds of legendary hardware phasers, including the Bi-Phase, Boos Super Phaser, Moogerfooger 12 stage, and others. The plugin offers a deeply tweakable phaser engine. First, you can customize the internal structure using one of the 69 different preset styles. These modify the engine from subtle 2-stage phasing to a wild 24-stage characteristic.

In the same section, you can tweak the phasing effect’s mix, frequency, resonance, and intensity to achieve your own phaser. These elements can also be tweaked even deeper in a drop-down menu. Part of every phase shifter is a classic low-frequency oscillator that drives the effect. No worries, PhaseMistress also has one but Soundtoys has taken it further.

Soundtoys PhaseMistress offers multiple waveforms (sine, triangle, peak, ramp-up, etc.), giving you more movement flexibility. If that’s not enough, you can create your own waveforms in the shape editor. In addition, you can replace the LFO with other modulator modes: rhythm with an editor, envelope follower, random, step sequencer, and ADSR envelope.

The envelope mode is interesting as it lets PhaseMistress respond to the dynamics of the incoming audio, making rhythm-triggered effects possible. As an extra shaping bonus, you can work with seven analog-style flavored saturation algorithms: clean, hard clip, squash, dirt, crunch, shred, and pump. Soundtoys ships the plugin with a wide range of ready-to-use presets sorted into nine categories with whom you can work directly.

First Impression
It’s a true no-brainer deal in my opinion. Not only is Soundtoys one of the high-end FX plugin developers, the plugin is also a very versatile phase shifter/phaser plugin that goes way beyond free phaser plugins. Don’t miss this limited time deal.

Soundtoys PhaseMistress is now available for free download through November 15, 2024 (reg. $99). It runs as a VST, VST3, AU, and AAX plugin on macOS (native Apple Silicon + Intel ) and Windows. It requires a hardware dongle or a free software iLok account for registration.

Thanks for posting this, but when Soundtoys does a giveaway like this, it's not permanently freeware. If you make it it's own thread, many more users will get the plugin.
