Expressive E Noisy 2.6 arrives Noisy 2.6 introduces a selection of new synthesis engines and resonators, and now spans sampled acoustic instruments, modelled analogue, FM, harmonic and wavetable techniques. 

Low End Candy release Preverb Preverb comes with six onboard reverb models that can be used to create riser, transition and lead-in effects without needing to bounce tracks and manually reverse the resulting clips.

RIPPLES Music Industries CascadeCascade runs audio through four fixed parallel chains - C1 Distortion/EQ/OTT/Spectral, C2 Bitcrush/OTT/EQ/Envelope Shaper, C3 Reverb/DigiClip/Comb/OTT, C4 Noise/Feedback/OTT/EQ - and a 16-step by 4-channel sequencer gates which chain is live per step, in time with your track. Two synced LFOs (four shapes) modulate up to 40 targets; per-chain mute and solo. With the sequencer off it is a deep parallel multi-effect; on, it is a stutter and glitch performance engine. The UI is a canal lock system with four color-coded water lanes. VST3 and AU for macOS and Windows. Read More

I love the overall concept a lot. [...]

Remi Blaze OxidexOxidex is an analog tape saturation plugin for macOS. It models the behavior of real magnetic tape — hysteresis, head-bump resonance, wow and flutter, and spectral aging — so tracks take on genuine tape character rather than a static EQ curve. A single Wear knob ages the tape from a pristine studio reel to a crinkled cassette. Saturation engine: Magnetic hysteresis model with frequency-dependent behavior. Oversampled S-curve saturation (2×, 4×, 8×), anti-aliased. Three tape speeds — 7.5, 15 and 30 IPS. Asymmetric clipping for natural even-harmonic content. Tone and texture: Head Bump — resonant low-end lift that tracks tape speed. Tilt EQ — dark to bright on a single knob. Wear — wow and flutter, high-frequency loss and dropouts, pristine to worn. Tape Hiss and Vinyl Mode for period-correct noise. Performance effects: Tape Stop / Start — one-button slowdown and spin-up. Motor Pressure — momentary flange build with a drive boost. Tape Speed Shift — smooth glide between speeds. Workflow: Auto-Gain matching for honest A/B comparison. Dry/Wet for parallel saturation, output trim with a safety limiter. Flux Meter that responds to saturation. 22 factory presets, preset save/load. Resizable interface. Formats: AU, VST3, and Standalone — Universal Binary (Apple Silicon + Intel), code-signed and notarized by Apple, so it installs cleanly on macOS. Pay-what-you-want, from $5. Read More

cloph-dsp releases Grungr, a FREE drive pedal plugin
cloph-dsp has released Grungr, a free/pay-what-you-want drive pedal emulation for guitar, bass, and anything else that needs more bite. You might remember Pedro Castro from Freeze95, the fun little stochastic stutter and freeze effect we featured on BPB earlier this year. I loved that one, so Grungr is another interesting free effect from the same [...]

AOFN Audio releases Grizzly, a FREE Gristleizer-inspired modulation plugin
AOFN Audio has released Grizzly, a free stereo modulation plugin for macOS and Windows. Grizzly is modeled on the 1979 Gristleizer circuit, the strange little LFO-driven pedal that Chris Carter of Throbbing Gristle famously used on drum machines, tapes, synths, and plenty of other sources. Developer Marcel describes Grizzly as his software interpretation of that [...]

AOFN Audio GrizzlyGrizzly is a free stereo modulator modelled on the 1979 Gristleizer circuit, as used by Chris Carter of Throbbing Gristle. An internal LFO drives a modelled JFET stage in two modes: VCA, which controls the amplitude of the signal, and VCF, which sweeps a lowpass filter across it. Features: VCA mode: tremolo, rhythmic gating, choppy pulse effects, ringmod-adjacent tones above 20 Hz. VCF mode: autowah, dub filter pulses, slow cutoff sweeps. LFO waveforms: triangle, square, saw up, saw down. Speed: 0.01 Hz – 30 Hz free, or host-synced 1/1 to 1/32 note divisions. Shape control: slope asymmetry (triangle) / duty cycle (square). Offset: controls what fraction of each LFO cycle drives the effect. Bias: sets the resting position of the modulation (attenuation floor in VCA, base filter brightness in VCF). Drive: −12 to +24 dB pre-gain modelling the original op-amp stage. Spread: inter-channel LFO phase offset for stereo widening and auto-pan. Level: output trim. No presets, no menus.
