Description
THD:
analog-style saturator;
This is no typical high-gain distortion device, nor a 'decimator' or bit crusher.
I was searching for something that sounded a bit like my old tube bass preamp that I like using for fattening up vocals or drum tracks.
Because good outboard gear is expensive and sonically equivalent software simulators are rare (and expensive as well), I started to lurk behind the curtain, thinking of creating something to fit my personal needs.
I simply could not find suitable simulators out there.
Well, what is going on inside analog gear, especially when it comes to the fact, that tube equipment always sounds different as solid-state devices?
Many people say 'oh, it's soft saturation that leads to more harmonics'. It took me quite a long time to realize that this is just some part of the story.
Apart from generating the 'right' kind and amount of harmonics, analog circuits are actually doing a lot of dynamic action. Considering a vacuum tube, this behaviour partly depends on the tube itself and also on the electrical parts surrounding it.
Now, THD is an approach to a very few of such aspects. The plugin is intended for a mixer's insert path to act as a preamp stage. It smoothes out the transients, gives more overall gain and warms a bit.
You might also want it to simulate a tape machine driven to the limit to achieve that typical warmth & fatness associated with analog recordings. THD uses similar methods to alter the frequency response of 'hot' tapes as analog recorders do.
As always, trust your ears. It may sound good for some applications, but unsuitable for others.

Satoo - multiband saturation .
Multiband saturation with sweepable resonant crossover.
- Useful for general sound shaping or extreme destruction.
- The effect gets very interesting when you automate the sweep of the crossovers while the resonance is set medium to high.
- If you set the high or low bands' gain to 0, it acts almost like a
resonant LPF or HPF, or both simultaneously.
Pluggo is an extraordinary set of multiplatform audio plugins. (AU/RTAS/VST) I'm sharing several free ones made with MAX/MSP . You must have Pluggo, Pluggo Demo, or a free Pluggo Runtime installed to use it. Installation will create a Pluggo folder inside /Library/Audio/Plug-ins/VST (OSX) - or - /Digidesign/ProTools (OS9). To install my pluggos - simply drop it into Pluggo folder and start your Cubase/Logic/ProTools.

Js magneto:
La simulation de mon vieux magnéto SONY. Un peu plus compliqué à programmer ! !. Pour les nostalgiques de la purée analogique de mon magnéto pourri. Le contrôle du gain permet de plus ou moins amplifier le signal donc de plus ou moins le compresser. Si le signal est trop fort, l’algorithme diverge et le son disparaît. Il reste encore un peu de travail à effectuer sur cette algorithme!!. Réglage haute frequence et niveau de sortie.

BAXXPANDER:
Vintage style saturation/bass expander unit,
presented as VST effect. We think this plugin is specially good to add warmth and saturation to drums
and basses, and with vocal tracks that need a little punch. It uses very little CPU, and includes 8 factory presets.
