GARUC Audio releases Prism Sat, a FREE analog saturation plugin
GARUC Audio has released Prism Sat, a free analog-style saturation plugin for macOS and Windows. The prism on the interface immediately reminded me of Pink Floyd, though I’m not sure if it’s an intentional reference. Either way, it gets bonus points from me, even though I’m more of a The Wall fan than a Dark [...]

Overload Audio releases MOODYSIX, a FREE modded Korg Polysix emulation
Overload Audio has made MOODYSIX free, a six-voice analog-style synth modeled on the 1981 Korg Polysix. MOODYSIX was originally a $6 release (a dollar per voice, as developer Andy Morrison put it), but he just informed me that the price has been dropped to free on Gumroad. It’s a pay-what-you-want listing, so enter $0 at [...]

phasenpunkt Interferator M4LInterferator M4L is a quad-layer noise modulation engine for Max4Live (Ableton Live Suite 12+). Instead of a conventional LFO, Interferator builds a living two-dimensional interference field from four independent noise generators. Three probes sample this terrain simultaneously and map their output to any automatable parameter in Ableton Live. Features: Four independent noise layers with seven pattern types: Perlin, Simplex, Cell, Rigid, Voronoi, Cloud, Fluid. Three blending algorithms for different interference characteristics. Three independent probes with freely positionable X/Y coordinates. Per-probe Min%/Max% range control with inverted modulation support. Per-layer Density, Flow, T-Tilt, Duration, Offset, R-Entropy, and R-Tilt controls. Global smoothing for all probe outputs. Real-time visualization of the interference field and probe positions. Price: 15€ (intro price: 10€) Requires: Ableton Live Suite 12 or higher. https://phasenpunkt.de https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_frLK9TiRg Read More

cloph-dsp releases Freeze95, a FREE stochastic stutter and freeze plugin
Indie developer cloph-dsp has released Freeze95, a free zero-latency stutter and freeze effect with a Windows 95-era CRT interface. Freeze95 is a three-band glitch engine designed to add motion to static audio. The signal is split with a phase-coherent LR4 crossover, and each band is then independently glitched using randomized capture, reverse, slow-mo, and granular [...]

Windows-G E-AutoFilter300A JSFX automatic filter plugin for REAPER that features: * Two Filter Slots (Filter 1 & 2): Each slot can be set independently to Off, a 12dB/oct high-pass filter, or a 12dB/oct low-pass filter. * Two Routing Modes: 1. Parallel: Both filter slots (Filter 1 & 2) are simultaneously fed with the same dry signal to be processed independently, and then their outputs are blended back together using summing with -3.0 dB gain compensation. 2. Serial: Both filter slots are processed in series (one after the other). So the output of Filter 1 becomes the input of Filter 2. * Lower Limit (Hz): Sets the lower frequency boundary of each filter's sweep from 10.0 Hz to 21.0 kHz. * Upper Limit (Hz): Sets the upper frequency boundary of each filter's sweep from 40.0 Hz to 21.0 kHz. * Position: Displays the current position of each LFO-driven filter within the defined lower and upper frequency limits as a visual reference. * Q (0.1 – 10): Sets the resonance of the high-pass and low-pass filters to shape how pronounced the cutoff frequency is. * LFO Shape: Choose from six LFO waveforms (Sine, Cubic S-curve, Triangle, Square, Ramp Down, and Ramp Up) per filter. * Phase (0–100%): Adjusts the starting position of the selected LFO waveform per filter. Setting the Phase slider to 50% (180°) on symmetrical waveforms (Sine, Cubic S-curve, Square, Triangle) gives you the inverse of these waveforms. For asymmetrical waveforms (Ramp Down, Ramp Up), when Ramp Down is selected and the Phase slider is set to 50% (180°), it produces an inverse sawtooth wave; and when Ramp Up is selected and the Phase slider is set to 50% (180°), it produces a sawtooth wave. * BPM Mode: Use host BPM or set a custom BPM from 1 to 960 per filter. * Rate: Provides 22 rate divisions, from 4/1 (slowest) to 1/32 (fastest), including dotted and triplet options per filter. The rates are arranged in order of speed: 4/1, 2/1 D, 4/1 T, 2/1, 1/1 D, 2/1 T, 1/1, 1/2 D, 1/1 T, 1/2, 1/4 D, 1/2 T, 1/4, 1/8 D, 1/4 T, 1/8, 1/16 D, 1/8 T, 1/16, 1/32 D, 1/16 T, and 1/32. * Depth (0–100%): Controls the intensity of each filter's frequency modulation across the defined lower and upper frequency limits. At 0%, no modulation occurs (the filter does not move); at 100%, the filter sweeps the full lower and upper frequency range. * Dry/Wet Mix (%): Blends the unprocessed dry signal with the filtered wet signal from 0% to 100%. * Output Gain (dB): Sets the final output level of the plugin from -35 dB to +35 dB to compensate for volume changes introduced by the automatic filtering. * Advanced Host Sync: Each LFO phase is synced to the DAW timeline, and the plugin automatically re-syncs on playback start, stop, or when jumping along the timeline. * GUI Filter Status Indicators: Show the active status of each filter slot and whether it is set to HPF or LPF. * GUI BPM Readout: Displays the current DAW tempo for each active filter. * GUI Pos Readout: Shows the real-time frequency position of each active filter in Hz as the LFO moves. * GUI Bypass Button: A dedicated bypass button for toggling the effect on or off without audio clicks. Available for automation as "Bypass (Smooth)" in the plugin's parameter list. * Zipper-Noise-Free Operation: Advanced interpolation ensures no zipper noise during slider automation or real-time adjustments. * Minimal CPU Usage. * 16 Factory Presets: The plugin comes with 16 factory presets that can be imported via the included RPL file. Instructions for importing the presets are provided in the "Installation & Preset Library Import" file included in the Gumroad plugin download. You can grab it for $10. All future updates are free, just make sure to use a valid email so I can send future updates to you. Listen to the audio demos below to hear what the plugin can do: Email Support: info.windowsg@gmail.com ================================================== Using This JSFX Plugin in Other DAWs: If you want to use this JSFX plugin in other DAWs, you can do so using the open-source YSFX plugin. YSFX is available in VST3, AU, and CLAP formats for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Download your preferred version of YSFX from here (Click on "Assets" for the downloads to appear): https://github.com/JoepVanlier/ysfx/releases YSFX comes in two versions: * ysfx-s FX (for JSFX effects). * ysfx-s instrument (for JSFX instruments). 1. Open ysfx-s FX in your DAW, 2. Then click "Load", find your "E-AutoFilter300_Windows-G" file, and click "Open." The JSFX plugin will now run inside the YSFX host, working perfectly in any DAW that supports VST3, AU, or CLAP plugins. Read More
