Christian Budde has released several new free VST effect plug-ins for Windows.
Fast Soft Knee Compressor is a soft knee compressor optimized for low CPU usage, according to Christian Budde, who added: “While it is not that difficult to build a hard knee compressor with a low CPU usage, it is quite difficult to do so for a soft knee, especially if you want to control the margin around the threshold precisely while maintaining a consistent curve. The compressor also features a simple limit circuit to avoid clipping.”
Features:
- Continuous and consistent characteristic.
- Adjustable soft knee in dB (as margin below the threshold).
- Stereo/dual mono processing.
- Extra limit circuit to avoid clips.
- Simple auto make-up gain adjustment.
- 10 presets.
- Mathematically optimised (using three psychoacoustical evaluated approximation functions).
- Open source (as part of Christian’s Delphi ASIO & VST Project).
Fast Soft Knee Gate is a soft knee gate that is said to be optimized for low CPU usage based on Christian’s Fast Soft Knee Compressor.
Features:
- Continuous and consistent characteristic.
- Adjustable soft knee in dB (as margin below the threshold).
- 10 presets.
- Mathematically optimised (using three psychoacoustical evaluated approximation functions).
- Open source (as part of Christian’s Delphi ASIO & VST Project).
Fast Soft Knee Limiter is a soft knee limiter that is said to be optimized for low CPU usage based on Christian’s Fast Soft Knee Compressor.
Features:
- Continuous and consistent characteristic.
- Adjustable soft knee in dB (as margin below the threshold).
- 10 presets.
- Mathematically optimised (using three psychoacoustical evaluated approximation functions).
Other plug-ins include:
Frequency Splitter for Modular Hosts is a Linkwitz Riley Crossover.
Features:
- 1 in, 2 out.
- Selectable frequency.
- Selectable order (starting from 12dB/Oct up to 192dB/Octave).
- Sample-rate independent.
- Using host dependent GUI.
Linear Phase Frequency Crossover for Modular Hosts is a Linear Phase Crossover.
Features:
- 1 in, 2 out.
- Selectable frequency.
- 512 FIR filter coefficients (higher on request).
- Sample-rate independent.
- Fast (using the IPP).
- Open source (excluding IPP).
- Using host dependent GUI.
