Freesound Bundle

The Freesound bundle is a collection of VST/AAX/AU, Mac/Windows plugins that I have developed while teaching music programming at UCSD and CalArts.



++chebyshev A distortion unit which uses several low-order chebyshev polynomials to add even or odd harmonic distortion. This can be used to make a sound gently saturated (3rd chebyshev polynomial), harshly distorted (7th chebyshev polynomial) or like a dying amplifier (2nd or 4th chebyshev polynomials).



++compand is a combined compressor/expander plugin. It has a softknee control as well as a switchable rms/peak level detector. it also has a variable width level detection window (response).



++decimate uses bit depth and sample rate reduction for added aliasing and decimation noise. a very noisy plugin. useful for adding harshness, distortion and brightness to any sound.



++matrix is a mid-side to left-right encoder and decoder. for mid-side microphone arrays, but also useful when needing to apply effects to only the center or the sides of a stereo mix.



++phasor is a multistage phase shifter that has outputs for 360, 720, 1140 and 2880 phase shifting (1, 2, 4 and 8 notch). bandwidth, central frequency, feedback, and modulator parameters can be adjusted.

AAX versions are available for purchase from the aax page.
