Hi everyone

I’ve just released a free open-source JUCE-based VST3 plugin called PerceptoMap – a real-time psychoacoustic visualizer for audio signals.

Unlike traditional spectrum/spectrogram analyzers, PerceptoMap supports perceptually-inspired views such as:

• Real-time Mel spectrogram with nonlinear frequency scaling

• Real-time Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) representing timbral texture and spectral envelope

• Chroma, Tempogram, etc. (in development)

• Configurable color maps (Classic, Grayscale, Magma)

• Frequency/dB readout under mouse

• Resizable GUI

• Built with JUCE 8 under AGPLv3

• Of course, the classic STFT spectrogram with linear or log frequency axis is also included

• No hidden fees, paid versions, or limitations

Think of it as a plugin that visualizes how we hear, not just what we measure.

-> GitHub repo (with plugin download): https://github.com/hqrrr/PerceptoMap <-

What I’m looking for:

• Feedback / ideas from you

• Someone who can help build the macOS version and/or test with other DAWs – I currently only have access to Windows and Ableton Live 12

Feel free to star the repo, leave issues, or even open pull requests.
Cheers!

Holy Moly, like you all, I discovered so many nice freebies lately, it`s insane ...

One of the latest discoveries I instantly fell in love with
due to simple UI, fast workflow & the less smeary yet defined, modern attitude of sound.

Developer Consint:
"Pult EQ is a free and open source Pultec style tube EQ VST3 plugin (64bit) for Linux and Windows ...
The EQ features stereo and mid/side processing
and the saturation comes with automatic gain compensation and up to 16 times oversampling.
Pult EQ is based on the Pultec EQ example of the Wave Digital Filter model library in FAUST
and on the airwindows Tube2 saturation."

Hello!!

I've released my first free plugin, Setekh a simple distortion plugin made with C++ and JUCE framework.

I spent some time learning affinity designer to create an aesthetically pleasing UI/UX and learned a lot about DSP. I plan on releasing more free plugins in the future. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Hi there,
sounds good and looks good so thank you!
When you set IN and OUT, close and reopen the GUI the two sliders are back to 0. On Win this is.

Oh wow. thanks for mentioning that. I've filed a bug and will test that out and get it fixed. Thanks for bringing that to my attention!

Thanks for raising this yesterday. I've created a new release that fixes this issue. Turns out you do have to implement state persistence lol. Did I mention I'm new to JUCE plugins?

Here's the latest version with a fix. Thanks for trying it out!

I will say the distoriton is quite weak at the moment. I have some plans to add some better IIR shelving that will help a lot. I've been experimenting with IIR filters here: https://github.com/fullfxmedia/dsp-playground/

Thanks again!

A useable distortion effect.

Thank you! If you were referring to my plugin haha.

Any stars on github are appreciated!!

[Aloysius]

Yes. Of course.

[Aloysius]

I starred. Had to set up an account. I hope I starred correctly. Thanks for making the plugin.
