The Kammerl-Kaske-VSTs are a comprehensive set of five soundmanipulating VST audio plug-ins, ready to be used with your favourite music production software like Steinberg’s Cubase or Ableton’s Live. Kammerl-Kaske-VSTs is a cooperation between Julius Kammerl (audio programming) and Klaus Kaske (artwork) and contains following plug-ins:
The Slicer:
The Slicer-Plug-in cuts all incoming audio signals into slices and [...]

This tool allows a super precise control of the stereo image.
Stereo Tool features ultra precise controls of input gain and individual pan for left and right channels. A phase inverter is available for each channel. A global stereo pan and a stereo width settings are also implemented to complete the management of the [...]

You can never have too many different types of EQ in your toolbox, especially if they use advanced 64-bit analogue modeling, sound great and costs nothing! The FreeeQ is a high-quality 3 band ‘instant results’ EQ which is also highly optimized (especially considering what it’s doing ‘under the hood’) for CPU usage, so you can [...]

Clocker is a utility plug-in that sends MIDI clock.
Why would you want a plug-in to do that, when your host app sends MIDI clock perfectly fine? Well, with Clocker you have a separate, adjustable source of MIDI clock. So [...]

StormGate1 is an unique and innovative amplitude rhythmic gating effect which lets you draw the gating patterns freely by hand or with the aid of powerful drawing tools.
It can be used as a creative tool to create rhythmic parts out of anything (pads, noises, etc…), as an enveloper, or even like a simple but powerful [...]

TAL-Dub is a vintage style delay effect. It can be used for a wide range of delay effects from clean to extreme distorted, resonating never ending delays :-)

12dB resonance filter
Low cut filter
Maximal 4 Seconds delay time
Limiter with distortion for rising feedbacks or loud inputs
Delay time and feedback for each channel (linkable)
Input signal swap (L/R swap)
Filter [...]

TAL-Phaser is a carefully modelled stereo phaser effect. The user can choose between two, four and six stages. Its possible to adjust the lowest and highest frequency of the filter.

Two, four and six stages.
Syncable LFO.
Lowest- and highest-frequency adjustable.
Stereo phase offset from 0 to 180 degree.
Feedback (a very small amount of second order distortion in the [...]

TAL-Flanger is a easy to tweak stereo flanger effect with its own special sound and some asymmetric analog like components in the feedback corner. Useful for a wide range of flanger effects from subtle to extreme.

bx_solo is a nice little tool that we have designed to get you STARTED with and used to the way we approach the M/S technique - be it for recording-, mixing- or mastering purposes. The “heart” of our M/S tools are our unique SOLO BUTTONS that allow you to actually LISTEN to [...]

X-ISM is a state of the art VST/AU plug-in which can interpret inter-sample peaks, allowing engineers to make informed judgements about the resultant sound quality of the mix.
There is currently a trend in the in the audio industry known euphemistically as ‘The loudness war’ in which the engineering process is driven to produce a product [...]

“Endless Tone” can be used to synthesize classic Shepard/Risset tones. It can also be used as a ring modulator either using an internal sine wave or the audio input for the carrier signal.
“Endless Tone” is part of “The Endless Series” and it’s freeware. The other plugins in the series are shareware.
Requires Pluggo Runtime (free from [...]

Hypercyclic is an LFO-driven MIDI arpeggiator. Two tempo-synced LFOs can be used to modulate various parameters to create interesting rhythmic effects and chord variations.
The sweetspot for hypercyclic is the narrow border between chaos and regularity. Or, in other words, how to induce a certain pleasant randomness, yet forcing everything to align again on [...]

Pondular is an experimental synth interface by Kevin Ferguson, the lead developer of Mopis.
Pondular was part of the KVR Developer Challenge 2006, where it earned sixth place.

It consist in a delay unit followed by a 2nd order lowpass filter with saturation. The delay-time can evolve between 0 and max-delay which lets you be very accurate. You can also synchronise the delay to the tempo with different resolutions from 1/128 to 1 bar and control the way the delay-time is interpolated with [...]

These plugins are intended to constitute a spectral sound-design toolbox. Most of them are inspired by image processing techniques as you can find in photoshop for example. I’ve used the FFTReal class by Laurent De Soras that can be downloaded at musicdsp
::WARP::
This plugin swap a frequency band defined between the fmin and fmax parameters while [...]

Seen it before? As a MIDI instrument? As a VST plugin?
When you play pong, you play music. You can try it as an applet, though that’s not half as cute as connecting it to a nice soft-synth sound, adding a few effects (arpeggiator, anyone?) and letting it play some loops for you.
Note that I’ve used [...]

Berrtill is a distortion-unit modelled on circuit bent hardware.

dirtsky is a frickin’ mess… on one side it’s a grain-based mangler similar to gleck, but with more control. On the other side it’s a 3 way harmonizer with independent pitch controls. You can set the wet/dry value of the effect in general and the amount of dirt and/or sky to your liking.
