  • Aqeel Aadam Sound CoastlineCoastline is a dual-engine audio sustainer with intermodulation, advanced filtering, support for custom samples, and more – all in the service of adding depth and character to your music. Designed to create complementary ambience for any sound or composition, Coastline uses a combination of additive and granular synthesis to stretch sounds infinitely. Coastline uses two sustaining algorithms to resynthesize audio and stretch it forever: Tide – an additive synthesizer for reimagining sound. Control which frequencies of the input are mapped to oscillators, rebalance them to highlight harmonic or inharmonic characteristics, and introduce new frequencies with waveshaping. Glade – a granular synthesizer that stretches sound forever with no clicks or transients. Balance the original timbre of your sound against Tide's distilled version. Coastline's Audio Matrix lets you route any channel to intermodulate another, or itself. Create unique harmonic distortions, or load samples to introduce a completely new texture. Coastline includes built-in field samples by Nathan Moody for naturalistic textures. Furthermore, manipulate any control in Coastline with a fully fledged Modulation matrix, including multiple LFOs, sequencers, smooth random sources, and performance effects. Build completely custom effects using Coastline's state-of-the-art filter and reverb. Each engine and effect inside is designed to be immediately usable and configurable, or pushed into the territory of distortion and creative sound design. Connect to Coastline's sibling application, Waymaker, for even more sequencing and additional control over the pitch of Coastline's output. Full preset control over every parameter. Supported formats: VST3, AU (macOS), AAX, AUv3 (iOS). Manual Video manual and demo Read More

  • MintoTsukino HotelCurrySpiceHotelCurrySpice is a free harmonic spice effect — it does not crush the original signal, but adds a precise "single sting" of harmonics to bring depth and character. Three controls only: SPICE (the amount of seasoning), HEAT (direction from rounded to biting), and TYPE (the harmonic recipe). Features: SPICE 0% — bit-transparent dry signal, true bypass. 4 harmonic recipes: 欧風 (European) / キーマ (Keema) / マサラ (Masala) / hidden 裏メニュー (Secret Menu). A/B comparison stores SPICE, HEAT, and TYPE together. Animated pot character GUI with 8 expressions. Safety peak guard to prevent dangerous output. Made by Minto Tsukino as part of the Minto Shokudo (Audio Tools) series. Free for personal and commercial use. Read More
