Audio Plugins

I've been a software developer by day for my entire adult life and recently started learning how to make audio plugins to smash together my two main hobbies. It's been really fun! All of these plugins are free and open source, please download and share them if you find them useful!

These plugins are 100% yeen-made, no AI.

All of the source code for my plugins can be found on my Codeberg account.

Y-Diffuser - Algorithmic Reverb



download - source code
Y-Diffuser is my take on an algorithmic reverb. It's cheesy and unsubtle, and my intention is to use it mostly on pads, pianos, synthesizer plucks, or vocals. The idea came from wishing a "one-knob reverb" that I was using had a second knob, and then I personalized it to my tastes from there.
Here's what it sounds like:

Retrigger - Glitchy Beat Repeater



download - source code
Retrigger is my take at doing a beat repeat style effect. This is used a lot in 2000s hardcore for build ups, or just flavor. Retrigger is designed to be automated for making those effects without manually chopping up audio clips. I still use it when I need that kind of effect.

Nano Filter - DJ-Style Filter



download - source code
A simple DJ-style filter. I wanted a decent sounding filter that was easy to automate. the VST3 version shows the native right click menu when right clicking the knobs! I use this in almost every song for transitions and build ups.

Blaster Plus - Bass Synthesizer


download - source code
Happy Hardcore bass sounds tend to follow a really similar formula, and while I've gotten pretty quick at making it in various plugins I wanted to make something that was focused on doing that as quick as possible. Blaster is what I came up with! I'm regularly using it in my songs now. I updated it 9-ish months later to have a bit more depth, and I'm still regularly using it!

Sawbox - Supersaw Synth


download - source code
Make supersaws lightning-fast! Swiftly and simply summon satisfying synthesized sounds! Nine oscillator supersaw made of three groups of three oscillators. Control the detune of the oscillator groups with the Spread value, and the overall detune using the Detune knob. There is also a LFO that causes a subtle detune drift over long periods for that little bit of extra movement. I mostly use this for pads and reese basses these days.

Satisfy - Bus Saturator



download - source code
A bus saturator which increases perceived "energy" at the expense of "clarity" while keeping overall peak volume roughly the same. Here's an off-on test to hear it in action:
I use it in every song I make!

Stutter - Trance Gate



download - source code
Everybody has to start somewhere and my first VST project was Stutter, a trance gate with a step sequencer. I use it sometimes for really simple trance gate needs, but as with most learning projects it's usefulness is limited.
