Extrasensory VEX Expressive MIDI ControlTurn any MIDI device into an expressive control instrument. Works with any VST, AU, or hardware that responds to MIDI. VEX is a MIDI FX plugin that transforms plain controller moves into rich, performance-grade modulation. Insert it on a MIDI track, feed it data from any controller, and route the output to your synths, samplers, and FX. Instead of drawing static automation or fighting stiff knobs and faders, VEX lets you shape how control signals behave over time—smoothing, curving, exaggerating, or "playing" parameters as if they were instruments of their own. Use it to breathe life into filters, reverbs, delays, granular engines, or any parameter that accepts MIDI CC, aftertouch, or other control data. Read More

Goodhertz VCME (Vulf Compressor Mastering Edition)VCME (Vulf Compressor Mastering Edition) is a compressor developed by Goodhertz as an extension of the original Vulf Compressor. While it maintains the core vari-mu behavior and character of the original algorithm, VCME is designed for applications that require finer control & more transparent processing, such as mastering or mix bus processing. Key Features Classic Compression Controls: Ratio, threshold, makeup gain, etc. — VCME retains the vari-mu characteristics of Vulf Compressor but in a way that is easier to dial in if you're used to a classic compressor control-set. Release "Style" Control: choose your own release character: opto, FET, or anywhere in between. Soft Clip: A very special analog soft clipping / saturation section follows the compression stage. Use it to prevent digital overs, add subtle clipping, or apply all-out fuzz and saturation. It has four different modes, each with their own vibe. Chino: Hifi, classic tube sound, notes of Hendrix. Rødovre: Round, tube-y, smooth. Detroit: Grungy, warm, notes of Jamerson. Melbourn: Punchy, British, transformer saturation. Standalone VCME Soft Clip plugin is a free add-on to VCME. Extensive Sidechain & Linking: Spectral sidechain tilt to precisely control how the compressor reacts to the frequency spectrum, often eliminating the need for a de-esser or multiband compressor. Extensive Stereo / Surround Linking. Support for M/S & surround modes. Transparent Frequency Response: No matter the settings, the original Vulf Compressor imparts a certain color on everything. Here in VCME, we've ensured the frequency spectrum remains completely untouched — perfect for mastering. Read More
