RetroVibes is a sample-based virtual instrument plugin (ROMpler) for DAWs and other plugin hosts operating on Windows and macOS.
At its base are a series of samples captured from hardware and software sources (synths, emulators, etc). There are 71 instrument presets in total, covering a wide palette of sounds, from brasses to leads, keys to basses, pads, percussion, and so on.
All the presets were inspired by the 80s sounds and come with that retro vibe. Each preset is customizable with a set of controls such as ADSR envelope, modulation, filter, reverb, etc.
RetroVibes is available in VST/VST3 64-bit Windows and VST/VST3 & AU for macOS.
Acon Digital Multiply is a free and versatile chorus effect with a unique twist. Each simulated voice is processed with a phase randomizing filter so that unpleasant comb filter effects are avoided. The effect can be used to simulate the effect of several performers playing the same tones simultaneously, to widen the spatial image or to create special effects for sound design. Multiply can simulate up to 6 additional voices and both the pitch and the loudness of the voices can be modulated. There is also an integrated equalizer consisting of low cut, low shelf, high shelf and high cut filters that can be applied to the effect signal. An integrated pre-delay section makes it possible to create modulated and diffuse echo effects.

I don't know how much practical use some of us will get from this, but it's fun. Has sounds from several different old school drum machines including the Yamaha RX-11 which I used to have!
This looks pretty fun. Have only messed around with it for a short time. Currently it's only available as AU and VST2 and is NOT M-1 native. I did need to reboot though before the system recognized the AU, but I had no problem just now loading it in Digital Performer 11.21, and seems to work fine under Rosetta.
One of the things I like about it, is it superimposes the panning indication over the audio wave form. See the attached graphic I posted.
PanCake is a free plugin for most flexible panning modulations.
You can construct your own modulation curves. They can be easily drawn using soft or hard control points, thus producing gentle transitions or sharp bends in the waveform.
PanCake's LFO can be beat-synced to your DAW, from a fast 1/128 note modulation up to 32 bars. It can also be set free-running from 0.02 Hz to 5.24 kHz, and can be triggered vie MIDI.
A precise display of channel left/right volume provides helpful visual control.
Best of all, PanCake is completely free! No login, no registration required. Download now.
