Nothing too complex or “puffy”, yet powerful and moving enough to allow you to express yourself freely, with nothing holding you back.

VITAL – Spectral warping wavetable synth
Vital is a spectral warping wavetable synthesizer.
Discover how warping the harmonic makeup of a wavetable can completely create a new set of sounds. Stretch, shift, smear and skew harmonics up, down and around the spectrum to explore new timbres and create sounds you didn’t think possible with wavetables.
See how everything works while you play in this visual synth. Vital has animated graphical displays when you need them. Everything moves in real-time so you can see what’s going on behind the scenes.
Quickly design sounds with an optimized drag-and-drop modulation workflow. The modulation preview gives you an idea of what things will sound like before you drop the connection. With this, you can try modulating different destinations by dragging around the screen.
Discover new design techniques using Vital’s unique features like stereo-modulation. Stereo split an LFO to have the left channel’s modulation delayed from the right or give slight stereo time differences to an envelope to create wider stereo effects.

Blend together up to four different distortion settings with an intuitive XY pad.

Krush
Krush is a free bitcrusher plugin.
With its bit-crushing and downsampling algorithms, Krush combines the crispy taste of the digital realm with the warmth of its drive stage and analog modeled resonant filters. A modulation section allows you to quickly add extra life to the sound by modulating any parameter.
The sound palette produced by Krush ranges from the dirtiest digital effects to crunchy modulated colours, with all the classic and weirdest bitcrusher effects in between.
FuzzPlus
The Fuzz+ plug-in is a model of a famous vintage fuzz pedal, and features an algorithm used in several of the Mayhem plug-ins. There are three controls:
Fuzz knob: This controls, as you might imagine, exactly how much fuzz is applied to the signal.
Output knob: This is the output volume of the device, when it is active.
Bypass button: This works just like the switch on a stomp box. When the blue light is lit, you’re money. When it’s not, the input is passed directly to the output. This can be automated for a slightly different vibe than automating the effect bypass of your host.
