Hi,

I've just released a bundle of six plugins as the Psycho Toolkit. They were largely unexpected results of research while developing Clone Ensemble, Alien Solo and Voice Trap. Some of them are pretty extreme and are aimed at sound design rather than mainstream audio production.

Even if you don't have any intention of getting them, I invite you to check out the demo clip I put up there, if only to confirm that a-capella beatbox deathmetal probably doesn't have much of a future. ;)

The six plugins are:

Excitable Boy - an aural enhancer / exciter that goes too far
Flip Speed - a rectification- and playback speed- based octave generator with an attitude problem
Metal Demon - the death metal vocal effect to defile even the purest voice
Sick Puppy - a seriously twisted "wave-peak analysis" distortion generator
Trash Triode - a vacuum tube and cheap amp construction kit
Water Glass - a noise reduction and texture generation (this used to be available separately, it's now part of the new bundle)

ciao,
Trevor Magnusson

Not sure I like the whole "locked to one preset" deal you've got going here...

Green is the new Black.

BTW, your BassChorus is IMO the best free one !

How are you supposed to test a plugin if you can't change the knobs to hear what it does?

Agreed. With FSU type effects it's important to be able to figure out in what ways your S can be FU'd.

I'm also not too fond of packages of this sort in general. Makes me feel like I'm paying more than I want to in order to get things I'm not interested in. Flip Speed is unique and interesting, Sick Puppy is potentially worth getting (though without being able to adjust parameters it's hard to know whether it's worth money), and I'd use Excitable Boy if it were free. The others, not so much -- though if they were tweakable maybe I'd find settings on them I liked enough to pay for.

I'm inclined to use the free versions of those three plugins with their one lonely preset. I'm not sure whether the ability to turn knobs on three interesting plugins is worth $25, because I can't try turning them to see. ;)

Were these plugins fully tweakable but had the standard sorts of demo limitations (noise burst, dropout, timer, unsavable, etc) I'd (A) have a better chance to discover their potential and (B) not use them without buying the full versions.

And were they $5 each instead of 6 for $25, you'd probably get $10 or $15 from me even with the annoying demo limitation.
