Hi all,

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, and let me know what you think of those.
Here's the link to my Patreon page with the download options:

No crypto mining included...?
Seriously tho, they look nice .
Sound examples on YT or somewhere else would also be nice.
Thanks anyway ;-)

 

AI slop? pls tell the truth, im starting to seeing this kind of interface on sistesite too, its too obvious...

 

Metric Halo have similar style interfaces on a few plugins. So do a lot of developers now. It doesn't mean they're using AI-assisted coding, although a generic looking interface can make people wonder. What surprises me is how often people assume every plugin they like was built entirely from scratch with custom DSP and a handmade interface. It's growing stale. If the plugin sucks, it sucks.

 

No crypto mining
If I get some time, I might post some before/after examples.
Cheers!

 

It's not AI slop, I spent quite some time going back and forth refining these DSPs.
As for the GUI, as clone said, it's become kind of a trend lately, it's called "neumorphism". It's been here long before AI (think your cellphone gui), and I always liked its sleek minimalism.
Anyways, what's more important is how these sound, and I'm quite happy in that regard.
Either way, thanks for commenting. Cheers!

 

None of the plugins work, Win11, Reaper, it says the plugin could not be loaded.

 

I tested them on Windows 10, Studio One and Ableton Live 12. They work fine.

Make sure you copy the whole VST3 folder to your VST3 directory, NOT ONLY .vst3 file.

I liked the fact you put the distortion and EQ sections from the 1073 as standalone plugins. Especially because i was looking for a clean 1073 eq design to use alongside Nebula libraries, since their filters are a mess to setup. I will give it a try!!

Edit: Yeah, i can confirm. those plugins won't load.

What OS and what DAW are you using? Sorry to hear that.
