Ports of Free Plugins





Many years ago apulSoft ported some free plugins from win to mac and/or from VST to AudioUnits.

These used apulSoft's compatibility layer enabling VSTs to compile as AudioUnits.



This outdated software is no longer updated. Use at your own risk! All plugins are only compatible with 32-bit hosts and are built with SDKs from 2007.



There are two sections on this page. On top are universal(intel/ppc) versions of the ports which will run on intel macs. Below that are older ports which are ppc only.





Universal Plugins (PowerPC & Intel macs)

Slim Slow Slider: Side Chain Compressor



Side Chain Compressor



Side Chain Compressor was developed by Slim Slow Slider for VST windows.

apulSoft ported this plugin to OSX and to the AU format.



This is a Side Chain only compressor which requires special routing.

For VST there are two versions, mono (2 input channels/1 output channel) and stereo (4 input channels/2 output channels). Not all vst hosts support the required routing - Cubase Studio for instants does not. The AU version uses the regular AU sidechain mechanism and detects mono vs. stereo processing.



WARNING: There have been reports of very loud noises in Cubase 4 with a beta version of this plugin. The routing has not been not very well tested in general. Please use this with care.

Reports of successes or failures would be very welcome :).
