Just got around to testing this, definitely one of the the better saturators out there

A console EQ, multi-compressor, and a tape-sim are available now, with more in progress on their development list. All free and OSS.

Free and OSS - 'linux first', but also available for mac and win.
Yes these are great, I randomly had a 'free vst' plugin video pop up on my youtube feed and checked it out and immediately dashed to investigate when I saw 'tape' lol, I have been playing with it and testing replacing the UAD Studer/Ampex I bought(swapped U-he Satin for them) last year and I've got to say I'm very impressed, this tape VST actually sounds closer to what I actually imagine real tape to sound like. Was surprised to not see a thread for these on their own.

It crashed Studio Pro 8 and FL Studio 2025. I understand it's in beta so will wait for an updated version.

They probably made the repo private for the time being.

Apparently, the name and web addresses are currently changing from “Luna Co. Audio” to “Dusk Audio”. Possibly to avoid confusion with Universal Audio Luna (DAW)?
