posihfopit

posihfopit is a soft clip EQ effect plug-in.

With posihfopit you can very easily equalize your audio material, but furthermore the plugin will add a new color to the sound. Due to its unique transistor based algorithm, a small amount of soft distortion is applied according to the filter band used. This way your material gets kind of "creamier".

Features:

  • 8 band EQ (with additional soft clip).
  • Peak / LPF / HPF / LowShelf / HighShelf / Allpass / Notch / Bandpass / Moog.
  • Auto filter calculation (5 different algorithms).
  • Skinnable/intuitive GUI (several skins included).
  • Integrated overview over every instance.
  • 'default' can be customized.

I use this eq for everything. It is the best sounding Eq in my VST folder. It sounds so nice, you can boost the high end and it still sounds silky smooth, you can boost the bass and it doesn't get muddy, it sounds tight and defined. The developer says it emulates a transistorised eq to color the sound, but I find it still sounds very transparent and smooth, it doesn't have that exaggerated sound like some plugins that try to emulate "analog warmth".


This sound quality comes at a price. Poshifopit can use up some CPU, but it's really not bad for the sound you get. I took me a while to realize you can disable individual bands, that will help some.


Poshifopit lacks the dials and sliders of most software eqs. It seems most of the innovative plugin developers are breaking free from a "looks like hardware" interface. Personally I think this is a move in the right direction. I find poshifopit easier and faster to use. I absolutely love the gui. Instead of knobs, Poshifopit has one "point" per band on a horizontal line. You drag the point up and down to adjust the level, and left and right to adjust frequency. Right clicking the point changes filter type. You can adjust Q by alt clicking over the point and moving the mouse up or down. This interface allows you to adjust frequency and level in one step very quickly.


The original skin is pretty ugly, but there are other skins included. I use the Fruity Loops skin and it looks great.


This is the best soft eq I have heard. I have not heard any of the really expensive ones, but I wouldn't be suprised if Poshifopit is as good or better than the high end eqs. The best part is the price, it's totally free! I highly recommend trying this one!!

Product: Advanced Clipper
Developer: Christian Budde
Type: Clipper
Price: Free
OS&Formats: WindowsVST
Advanced Clipper is basically a hard-clipping plugin with two stages. Additional oversampling reduces alias noise. The oversampling algorithm is based on butterworth filters (as can be found in rubberfilter) and thus will affect the group delay (you can notice a delay of some samples in extreme cases). Features: Two stages of minimum phase, butterworth oversampler. Hard clip at higher sample rates. Oversampling of up to 16x (in both stages). Filter order up to 64 (using the max. order will introduce noticeable group delay). Tunable transition frequency (in parameter view). ... [more]

 
Product: Christortion
Developer: Christian Budde
Type: Distortion / Overdrive / Amp
Price: Free
OS&Formats: WindowsVST
Christortion simply excites the harmonics of the input signal. It is also possible to invert the phase of each harmonic. This concept guarantees a very surgical control over the distortion produced.... [more]

 
Product: Dual Channel FFT
Developer: Christian Budde
Type: Analyser / Monitor
Price: Free
OS&Formats: WindowsVST
Dual Channel FFT is a program that analyses the spectral difference between two measurement points. This can be useful to measure the electro- and acoustical chain during a live performance. Additionally the program can visualize the processing of VST Plug-ins, export the frequency response to TXT/BMP and export the impulse response to WAV.Dual Channel FFT is free for non-commercial use....

Product: Quadropolis
Developer: Christian Budde
Type: Surround Mixer
Price: Free
OS&Formats: WindowsVST
The Quadropolis Surround-Plugin is a VST effect Plugin dedicated to Quadraphonic Music. There was a lot of research on Quadraphonics back in the early 70s. This Plugin simulates an anechoic chamber with 4 loudspeakers in it (starting from 45° in 90° steps). Within the soundfield there is - of course - the listeners head, which is simulated with a 512 Tap HRTF-Convolver (FIR-Filter). This causes high CPU-Load (about 50% @2GHz, but improvements are on the way). The plugin gives you the ability to mix your quadraphonic music, without using 4 loudspeakers. Only Headphones are needed. Just ... [more]

 
Product: Rubberfilter
Developer: Christian Budde
Type: EQ
Price: Free
OS&Formats: WindowsVST
Rubberfilter offers four classic filter modes to cut frequencies with up to 384 dB/Oct. It removes frequencies in any audio signal, while providing an additional creative purpose. Rubberfilter has a controllable filter order of 6 dB/Oct up to 384 dB/Oct. At high filter order levels, a psychoacoustic effect appears which is usually an unwanted sound of zips and sweeps, almost as if there is a tone present at the filter's cut-off frequency. Rubberfilter allows you to use this psychoacoustic effect for creative purposes.Christian Budde and, fellow KVR member, Dalor created Rubberfilter. The idea... [more]

Product: Simple Chorus
Developer: Christian Budde
Type: Modulation (Flanger / Phaser / Chorus / Tremelo)
Price: Free
OS&Formats: WindowsVST
Simple Chorus was created as part of Christian Budde's Delphi ASIO & VST Open Source Project. It is one of several examples and the full source code is available. The effect itself is nothing more than a simple chorus implementation with up to 8 stages, speed 0.01-10 Hz and a depth of several octaves (frequency dependent). A mix parameter controls the balance of the sound (0% = dry, 100% = wet). Additionally a drift parameter controls the stereo width and the thickness of the sound.... [more]

It can be used by plugin developers for debugging and as a quality control tool, since it can work with virtually any sample rate and any VST Host settings. Furthermore several automated tests are included. A simple interface makes it easy to use for anyone. Predefined measurements allow to measure the impulse response and thus the magnitude and phase response of any VST effect plugin. Different excitation signals also allow to get an overview how non-linearities affect the impulse response. For further nonlinear investigations, a ded... [more]
