Crow Preamp emulates the way tube preamps behave and sound. It will add the typical saturation and warmth of real tubes to your digital tracks!
Crow preamp emulator is very easy to use, and there are only a few parameters for you to handle: input level, tube drive amount, tube type selection, output level and a power switch.

Cyanide is a unique waveshaping distortion effect that gives you a great deal of control over the wave shape.

Panzertank PM4 is a virtual phase modulation synth very much
like the famous FM synthesizers. It has four sinus operators
(oscillators) with individual APDSR envelopes, detune and
velocity sensitivity. There are six schemes or algorithms to
construct the sound.

The plug-in simply excites the harmonics of the input signal. It is also possible to invert the phase of each harmonic. This concept guarantees a very surgical control over the distortion produced.

Excellent dark sounds.
Morpheus is a velocity sensitive FM sampler with 2-pole multimode
filter. User can use any individual wave sample as modulator and
other one as carrier signal. It’s concept is very simple but it can
produce a wide range of quite unusual dark ambient, noise or industrial
atmospheric sounds in the spirit of David Lynch’s Eraserhead. When wide
stereo sample is used as a carrier (for example pad with lots of reverb)
one can achieve interesting stereo textures. These sounds beg for huge
delays and reverbs. Be not alarmed about the size of the download, it
includes few samples for the factory preset patches.

Quantum 64 is a harsh and aliased digital synth with single DCO
and multimode filter. It is inspired by Commodore 64’s SID
soundchip but it definitely is no emulation. The two special
ingredients that make the soul of Quantum 64 are the arpeggiator
and the degrader/quantiser unit.

Note: this synth is now a “lite” version, with the following limitations:
The 2 voice free version supports only 64 patches per bank and is supplied with 3 banks = 196 patches,
the waves of the Lite ver. are stored internally with no option to load different sf2 nor wave files.
STS Synthesizer - Wave-Transition method for absolute unique atmospheres, soundscapes, pads & textures. This synth adds a stunning new dimension and motion for evolving sounds changing completely it’s characteristics. Now with ‘Space Rotation’ - sound rotating (swirling) in stereo width. New waves have been added.
This is the slightly limited free version.

Phibes electric organ tries to capture the sound of those sweet
sixties organs. It is definitely no Hammond B3 or Vox Continental
but rather some obscure and cheap east-european imitation of
them. It has 9 drawbars with five different tones and, independent
vibrato, tremolo and rotator effects and staccato mode. Even though
Phibes organ is quite simple instrument, it is very CPU-intensive
with over ten oscillators and filters, so be patient and bounce
those tracks

Clip-R is a stereo effect which allows you to trim/clip the ceiling (top) and floor (bottom) of any audio you put through it, it also features a boost control which happens before the clipping and can be used to distort the signal in combination with clipping. The left channel is shown in green and the right in red, the clipping level is show in black and this lets you see exactly what is happening to the signal. The effect works well on basses and basic waveforms like a saw etc and can change the shape.

The EQ 2008S is an 8-band equalizer with separate controls for each stereo channel, a range of +/-20dB and fixed frequencies.
• 8-Band Equalizer each stereo channel
• +/-20dB range each band
• Input pre-gain control
• Dry/Wet mix control each stereo channel
• Output volume control
• Initialize and random controls
• Value display for exact adjustment
• Support for 16 presets each bank
• 11 presets included

Distroyr is a free stereo distortion VST effect which features a range of different algorithms that effect and generally distort the incoming audio. Depending on the settings you can have analog sounding warmth to your sound to very heavy clipped and crushed sounds. There are a total of 7 different distortion processes including:
- Feedback
- Signal clipping
- Bit crush
- Valve distortion
- Saturate
- Overdrive

The MP5D is a filter plugin with separate lfos for modifying the cutoff and resonance dynamically. • Multipass Filter for LP, HP, BP, Notch and Peaking
• LFO for Cutoff with a max. speed of 2Hz
• LFO for Resonance with a max. speed of 2Hz
• Master Section with Clipping
• The LFO Depth set is calculated by the settings for Cutoff/Resonance and will have a maximum range of the value between the Cutoff/Resonance settings and the highest (if higher than 50%) or the lowest (if lower than 50%) value, so that the LFO spins around the set value for Cutoff/Resonance.
An Example: If is set a Cutoff value of 75% and the Cutoff LFO-depth is set to 100%, the LFO will spin the cutoff between 50% and 100% with the set value for LFO-speed. That means, that a set value for Cutoff/Resonance of 0% or 100% will not affect a LFO modulation.

The FD STEREO is a filter delay with separate controls each stereo channel. The delayed sound is sent over a filter, that can be mixed between Lowpass and Bandpass to modify the sound. The step control is based upon the playing speed of the host.
• Step-controlled Delay (1-16)
• Feedback control
• Separate controls for each stereo channel
• Dry/Wet control
• Delayfilter cutoff and resonance
• Adjustable Lowpass/Bandpass mix
