SimpShi is a simple, free pitch shifter plugin, low on CPU. It is the result of some testing and experimenting, so don’t expect high quality results. It is meant mainly for non-percussive material.
Create deep ambient spaces and choirs with the turn of just one knob!
Formantbank is a fixed filter bank plugin for Windows VST hosts.
There are 12 filter bands, each with a volume fader plug additional low and high shelving filters. In fact the bands are not complete “fixed” – their frequencies can be shifted all together with the “FORMANT” knob. A special strong effect can be obtained by turning the resonance up. The filtered and the original signal can be blended from 0% – 100%.
EFU-1 is more than another delay plugin. Besides all the basic functions (host sync or milliseconds, digital/tape/analog sound, modulation) it features a distinctive freeze function; like some famous hardware delay units, the delay buffer can act like a sampler. Up to 4/1 bars of input signal can be recorded (or lets better say: frozen) and continously played back at a selectable speed – even reverse. But EFU-1 is more flexible than hardware devices: while a frozen audio segment is played back, the delay unit remains useable – even at a different delay time / sync divider! Also to hold and freeze a signal it is possible to first choose “record” and then send audio to the plugin, or you continously play thru the delay and if the “last loop” was interesting, you hit “Record” to freeze it! And while the recorded phrase is played back – even reverse, you may continue to play along with it thru the delay at a different time setting.
Input X and Y are left and right audio channel of the track. Y can be switched to the internal OSC. The frequency of the OSC can be controlled by the slider oder MIDI.
A stereo pitch-shifter piles head-long into an echo box with filters bit-crusher and waveshaper. To pour acid in the wounds : modulators attack both pitch and delay time. “This oh-so desirable effect combines pitchshifting and delay to produce lush choruses, swirling echoes and some dynamite vocal doubling” With delay times ranging from 2 milliseconds right the way up to five seconds, the feedback path is the most important part of this effect … that’s where you’ll find a pitch-shifter, a bit-crusher, a wave-shaper and a shelving filter. A wide variety of effects can be generated from subtle chorus-type sounds to nasty smashed-up swooping loops, clean slap-delays to evil bad-guy voice effects.
The Roland™ Dimension D is a famous peace of gear from 1979. A chorus which did not detune the signal too strong but gave it a 3-dimensional depth and wideness. These are still used in studios because of their easy use and good sound. The VDIMENSION tries to recreate this sound as a VST-plugin. It has the four presets plus modulation off. Input and/or output can be switched to mono.
