14th January 2026
Cotorro Audio has announced the release of Hysterizer Light, a free VST3 plugin for Windows.
Hysterizer Light features a digital implementation of hysterisis, a type of subtle lagging/softening effect found on magnetic recordings.
This effect can tame unruly transients and thus add an extra level of sonic polish. Use Hysterizer's mix-control to fine tune the exact amount of hysterisis on your tracks. Pick from eight presets to start your transient-taming journey.
Use Cases:
The Light-version has 2x and 4x oversampling options. For even more professional users, Hysterizer Elite is there to provide 8x oversampling.
Hysterizer Light for Windows VST3 is available for download at cotorroaudio.itch.io/hysterizer free of charge.
