You might even want to pick your guitar and pluck in some solo (you know, strat-like guitar, upper pickup, heavy compression - that’s the sound).

T-SLEDGE is a multi-band compressor for mastering, equipped with peak limiter, level maximizer and 4 compressors/expanders/limiters. And it is equipped with 2 kinds of dividing filter IIR/FIR. So, it also operates as a dynamics EQ.
Features
* Threshold: Controls the threshold of compressing/limiting. The signal at a level that is larger than this value is compressed
* Ratio: Controls the ratio of compressing/limiting. It operates as an expander when this value is smaller than 1.0. When this value is maximized, it operates as a limiter
* Attack: Controls the attack time of compressing/limiting
* Release: Controls the release time of compressing/limiting. It makes the sound smooth, if you choose the large value
* Soft: Sets the soft/hard mode of compressing/limiting process. While the soft mode compression gradually compresses the threshold When the hard mode compression reaches the threshold by the signal, it immediately compresses. There a little differences using it, but it makes compressing/limiting process smooth or vivid. At the present stage, this function becomes effective only to the compression processing
* ARC: Sets the automatic release time control system. (Sets all compressor and limiter release time ARC) Automatically ARC calculates the release time. If you want to create loudness sound, I recommend to turn it off
* IIR-FIR: Sets the dividing filter type. If you want to use for mastering, I recommend to use FIR. FIR filter cause a little latency, but it’s no more than 1ms
* Gain: Controls the level of each output signal
* Input Gain: Controls the level of input signal
* Knob: Ctrl+Left-Click -> Fine adjustment of the value. Shift+Left-Click -> Link adjustment of the value. Ctrl+Shift+Left-Click -> Fine link adjustment of the value
* VU Meter: Range 0dB < -> -40dB

Features
* SampleSlider
- utility for delay fix
- CC 94 delay length
* StereoStretcher
- stereo expander++ included phase inverter
- It can convert MONO signal into STEREO signal
- CC 10 panpot
* SFilter
- 8-type stereo IIR filter inherited from SH-1 Filter
- CC 71 resonance
- CC 74 cut off frequency
* SDynamics
- stereo compressor/expander/limiter based on T-SLEDGE
* SonicChorus
- 2-band multi phase chorus(4-type & 2-type lfo)
- Because of delay of the plugin(25-sample delay) if you want to use it as normal chorus, I recommend to use as insert effect.
* SLF
- variable wave form LFO panning tremolo
QWS is a MIDI sequencer for visually impaired people. It runs on 32-bit versions of Microsoft Windows.
It should work with whatever soundcard you have installed on your system. QWS handles MIDI data, at present it does not do any waveform audio processing. So, for best results, you will need a MIDI keyboard connected to your computer. QWS also works with “software” synthesisers and soundfont devices, provided they look like standard MIDI devices in Windows.
QWS hopefully has most of the features you would want in a general sequencer: multiple tracks, record, play, step record, cut & paste, note & controller editors and a bunch of tools such as transpose, change velocity, time glide, quantise, … to name just a few.

Hi Everyone,
The feed / subscribe feature on the site appeared to be broken, but I hope it’s functioning again now :) There is a button on the right.

Hi Everyone,
I have recently been in contact with Bam from midi-musiker.de. It is a music software forum which is mostly in German, but has a feature to translates it into English. The forum has produced some of the great plugins which I have recently listed. Check it out
Cheers,
Crispin
once engaged, SLoWer will start bending the pitch of the audio, down or up, according to the curve you graphically design. This one is great for “electricity shutdown” effect, slowing tapes, vinyl scratches and more.

This plugin lets you granulate loops, vocals and instruments in no time, to create crazy time stretches and ultra-short loops.
Modify freeze time with your keyboard’s pitch-bender or automatically - in an envelope style. Also, different freeze times can be used by playing different notes on your keyboard - anything from a whole bar to 1/128 of a note, triplets and dotted notes are available too.
Another way of ruining your audio: chop it up and slice it to pieces. A kind of a super-tremolo effect - but try it on drum lops if you wanna get experiMental
Includes seven presets to get you started.
a cool tremolo / volume manipulation / audio chopper tool. except for crazy tremolo styles, you can use any MIDI information to control the volume of your audio (for example to fine-ride vocal tracks). Audio-chopper, sneaking tremolo, two-speed tremolo and a unique tremolo deform control to tailor-shape your effect. Use MIDI messages to vari-speed your tremolo and more stuff.

Compressor/saturator. Very easy to use - actually one-slider operation. Pushes audio from minor saturation to Xtreme distortion without clipping - good for “warming up” drums, vocals and everything else actually
extreme-width panorama, random auto-pan and more pan stuff
brutally distort audio - in a good way. A sampling-rate reducer with LFO and Peak-follower
dissolve between two audio signals. This is a stereo-to-mono plugin
stretch mono signals into stereo, according to the signal level and wave shape
based on the long forgotten Rotor Synthesis: Uses a rotor module to combine four basic waveforms into complex new waveforms. Instead of mixing the signals, the rotor switches among them.

a simple additive synth that’s optimized for realistic bell sounds and for fender Rhodes-type instruments. Bella comes with 16 presets, but it’s very easy to program and create your own unique soundz.

a bizarre synth architecture, good for naughty lead lines Duo-am comes complete with 16 preset sounds, but it’s a slider-movement to change the presets into something new.
