Tamla Head is inspired by Motown Records' The Funk Brothers (who, if you don't know the name, you would have undoubtedly heard play on a record as they are arguably one of the most important bands, session or otherwise, in music history). AcmeBarGig could not find any reference to the amps these guys used - it turns out they didn't tend to record with an amp, they went direct into the board. Tamla Head is a model of what those guitars would sound like into sound boards of that period (the Sixties). AcmeBarGig added an extra gain section just to make sure that Tamla was good for other uses as ... [more]

By mdsp of Smart Electronixmiditools is a set of MIDI tools to help composition and music generation. The "MIDI gain" example that can be downloaded at Music-DSP is the base for the controller mapper. These plug-ins register themselves as MIDI sources. STOKASTIK: A MIDI plugin intended to generate random spaced notes according to a specified random distribution (now exponential only). You can set the maximum duration between 2 notes until 1 second but avoid values around 0 because it will overload your CPU. For now it is monophonic only and never stops outputting MIDI. ENV2MIDI: Th... [more]

By mdsp of Smart Electronixmstools is a collection of "tools" intended to process stereo streams but focusing on middle and side instead of left and right. The idea is really simple but the effects can be subtle and powerful. msEncode and msDecode: These are just converters mapping M -> L and S -> R so that you can put your own effects between the coder and the decoder. The effects below are just some hard-coded ones. msComp: This one uses the same compression algorithm as mdsp's "classic" compressor, but focuses on the Middle signal without touching at the Side. A ... [more]

Gimme Head is described as "flashy, obscene and holds NOTHING back". Here's what Ken has to say about Gimme Head: "The Gimme Head is balls to the wall, 'who gives a flying @#$% about anything' amp. It is inspired by the classic tones of the 1970's Punk movement and as such has all the attitudes already built in. Although you can get some nice Clean Tones from it, The Gimme head will just call you a capitalist pig and puke on your floor for doing that to it. The Gimme head is even dressed in a Leopard Skin Thong and Fishnets... The most controversial of all the ABG plugins, if yo... [more]

Knuckle Head is "a bad boy bruiser with a sweet and soft side that it's not afraid to show". It is capable of tones that range from sweet, glistening cleans to SRV and Yardbirds style smokin' hot crunch right through to punishing high gain destruction, according to AcmeBarGig. Here's what Ken has to say about Knuckle Head: "Knuckle head is the brute force amp of the collection. His poweramp is the main tone maker, it gives you a raunchy heavy distortion or a nice crunchy yardbirds type tone. Although it is capable of all the sounds in between. I have only ever been able to get t... [more]

stWIP can be used pretty much anywhere you need compression, gating, distortion, EQ or limiting. Each Filter and EQ band delivers up to 30 decibels of cut or gain and the 10 cross mixed dynamics modes range from light compression to heavy companding.

Cab Enhancer can be used to either emulate a cabinet without the use of IR, enhance an existing IR cabinet, or enhance a mic'd cabinet. IR cabs can lose some of the "live" feel no matter what equipment or how you place a mic, it will always be like that it is a simple matter of physics. So, what Cab Enhancer does is place back some of that live 'feel', so to speak. To illustrate how the CabShaper will help out, consider the example of a snare drum. When you hit a snare drum hard or soft the sound of that snare drum changes with the velocity of the strike. These tonal changes occur w... [more]

Reverberate is an efficient convolution audio processor with modulation capabilities offering true zero-latency operation for two separate, stereo impulse responses. Reverberate seeks to provide a richer and more dynamic sounding reverb from impulse responses by optionally modulating an amalgamation of two, separately controllable IRs using an LFO. Further modulation is possible using the post-processing effects; an all-pass interpolator chorus provides a fuller sound and an over-sampled analogue prototype paragraphic equaliser is provided with dual LFOs. These features make for a livelier so... [more]

TranceGate is best described as a tremolo on steroids. The collection of vertical bars at the top of the screenshot represent volume levels. The signal can be described as traveling from the far left of the bars to the far right of the bars, and as it hits each bar, the volume level of that bar is applied to it. If the bar is all the way at the top, the volume level is full, likewise all the way down it is off. The speed of the effect is controllable via the host tempo and the note duration control. There is also an adjustable sweeping filter, featuring 5 different wave form shapes and 6 diffe... [more]

The Mid-Side Suite consists of two plug-ins: MS from LR (the encoder) and MS to LR (the decoder). There are two primary uses for these: You have recorded material using a mid-side microphone pair, and you want to decode this on playback into stereo. In this case, you would simply place the MS to LR plug-in on a stereo buss, and feed the L side of the buss the mid mic, and the R side of the buss the side mic. Use the stereo width knob on the MS to LR to determine the stereo spread. Alternately, you can use both these plug-ins to selectively process mid and side information from a standard st... [more]
