Ohmforce’s most affordable plugin offers, as you would a expect, a unique palette of sounds, combining lowpass filtering and analogue crunch with a bundle of special features.
You can easily tune the filter to resonate with specific notes in your music, and the built in harmonic multiband feature adds tons of warmth to your sound. [...]

ColorTone is a “Tone Box” which simulates the signal path of analog devices through the use of convolution and various proprietary non-linear processes. ColorTone is designed to provide analog-like character and flavor to the modern digital audio workstation.
ColorTone is available in two formats: ColorTone-Pro and ColorTone-Free.
ColorTone-Pro allows the user to load their own samples [...]

RMS Buddy is a handy tool for tracking RMS and peak volume information.
It provides a cumulative, running average RMS of the audio signal, momentary RMS values, and it keeps track of the peak volume levels.
I find it very useful when I’m mastering stuff.

EQ Sync is a ridiculous equalizer.
You have no control over the EQ curve, if you try to adjust the faders they will escape, and the EQ parameters don’t make any sense anyway.
The EQ setting changes on its own according to your song’s tempo. :D

Polarizer takes every nth sample and polarizes it. The number of samples skipped and the strength of the polarization are adjustable. You can also implode your sound.
Basically like a weird distortion effect.

Skidder turns your sound on and off. While that may not sound very rewarding, you have a great deal of control over the rate, pulsewidth, on/off slope, panning width, etc. You can also relinquish some control to randomization. Skidder can also sync with your song tempo and can be triggered by MIDI notes.

KTGranulator is a free delay line granulator available as a VST effect plugin with custom editor and as a MacOSX Audio Unit. It was made as an exploration in building VST effect plugins and using the VSTGUI library and was inspired by the great DLGranulator effect in Ross Bencina’s AudioMulch.
It works like this: incoming (mono) [...]

Rez Synth allows you to “play” bandpass resonant filter banks that process your sound. In the right hosts, MIDI notes can trigger individual filters or banks of filters (up to 30 per note) with controllable frequency separation.

Ambience is a VSTi / AU reverb that rivals the quality of the best commercial reverbs.
You are free to decide yourself how much you want to pay for it, and when. This is a fully functional demo that will display a nag screen when you open it. If you send a donation I will [...]

Single band compressor with a very transparent sound, due to responding with varying speed as appropriate for the input frequency content. Use it when you want to avoid excessive pumping.

Parametric graphic equalizer with excellent response all the way up to Nyquist. It never clicks, and it handles deep bass well too. The Nyquist frequency is the highest representable frequency for a given sample rate. The trebliest of the treble. Most other digital eqs have great problems producing a natural sound here.

Transverb is like a delay plugin, but it can play back the delay buffer at different speeds. Think of it like a tape loop with two independently-moving read heads. There are lots of parameters to control and a parameter randomizer for the impatient. Tom’s first “released” plugin. Fun!

Buffer Override can overcome your host app’s audio processing buffer size and then (unsuccessfully) override that new buffer size to be a smaller buffer size. It makes a lot more sense if you just try it out and hear what it does.
It can sound like a stuttery vocoder or a stuck beat shuffler or many [...]

Scrubby goes zipping around through time. Speeding up or slowing down playback, moving backwards or forwards, Scrubby does whatever it takes to reach its destinations on time. If necessary, you can discipline Scrubby by using pitch constraint control, and of course you have a choice between robot mode and DJ mode.

Geometer is a visually oriented waveform geometry plugin. It works by generating some “points” or “landmarks” on the waveform, moving them around and messing them up, and then reassembling the wave from the points. Each of these three stages can be done in a variety of ways, combining to make millions of different effects. However, [...]

A new plugin which could be called AutoBreaks, AutoGLitch or whataver.
When synchronised to tempo this plugin will take the incoming audio and re-arrange it in a musicaly sensible way. Think of it as a realtime ReCyCle with fun options.
A bit hard to explain how exactly it works, just give it a spin!

Oh YEAH, baby.
At last I’ve found the time to update Cyanide :-).

This one has taken a long time with lot’s of new features.
The shaper now updates while you drag it, there’s a preview, the filters are MUCH better and smooth, the bugs in the bank/patch-saving are gone and there’s some SERIOUS heavy-duty anti-aliasing.
Oh, and you [...]

Somewhere in the murky depths of a dark ocean sounds a single ping. One Ping Only.
As it bounces off underwater cliffs the Ping becomes distorted.
It becomes a horrible scream.
Fear Him.
Fear his bonecrunching madness.
The Russian is back.
Hide your children.
