Cool looking – EasyQ and EngineersFilter – free effect plug-ins for Windows
rs-met has released updated versions of EasyQ and EngineersFilter, two free effect plug-ins for Windows.
after some beta testing and bugfixing (thx to all who participated), it’s now done. updated versions for EasyQ and EngineersFilter have been released. for EasyQ, it’s only a maintenence update with a little bugfix related to colorscheme handling.
EngineersFilter now includes two new approximation methods: Bessel and Papoulis. The Bessel design approximates a linear phase response in its passband and the Papoulis design achieves the maximum negative slope at the cutoff frequency when a monotonically decreasing magnitude response is assumed.
EasyQ and EngineersFilter are available as freeware VST plugins for Windows.

Free step-sequencer
Despite the ugly looking UI you might want to give it a try 
Jim Singh presents FlexibeatzII, a FREE self-contained, standalone ten channel pattern-based Step Sequencer for Windows.
“I have felt for some time that it’d be neat if there were a FREE easy to use step sequencer program that lets you use any .wav files for sounds, but also offers powerful editing and synthesis toolsets for each sound, with the ability to shape and sculpt sounds extensively and dynamically while the sequence is playing (but at the same time not compromising the ease of use of the sequencer). “

Freebies when PLP celebrates 10 years
Join Peace Love Productions (PLP) as it celebrates its 10th year of specialized loop packs. For an entire decade, the company has released one pack of royalty-free loops after another, and now Peace Love Productions is giving away Metachemical’s Tough Breaks Reason ReFill for free. It’s a happy occasion for both PLP and its customers.
Tough Breaks is a Reason ReFill by Metachemical — the ideal collection for producers wanting to create hard-hitting break beat music. This collection includes drum sounds, basslines, synth riffs, and more; it boasts 163 loops, 33 drum one-shots, and 65 MIDI files (of drum beats, synth riffs, and basslines). The beats come with separated drum stems for each instrument, providing kicks, snares, percussion, hi-hats, and cymbals. Also included are synth riffs, basslines, and original sound effects. Likewise, Tough Breaks includes supporting MIDI files for select loops, and its included one-shot drums are mapped out in both EXS24 and Redrum.
Along with Tough Breaks, Peace Love Productions is also giving away a free 1 GB Taster collection to anyone who registers at the company’s Web site. The PLP Taster is a sampling of the many different genres that the loop provider has to offer. To receive this taster, visit peaceloveproductions.com, sign up for it, and verify your email address. A download link will be sent to your verified address immediately afterward.
The PLP Taster is a two-part download containing two zips with loops in 16-bit and 24-bit stereo ACIDized WAV. Genres include hip-hop, rock, trance, electro house, deep house, chillout, trance, techno, DJ scratches, industrial, ambient, and more.
According to the manufacturer, PLP was one the very first to offer specialized loop packs. While other companies were releasing audio sample CDs that you had to extract and edit your self, PLP was offering edited ACIDized loops on data discs.
Background check (courtesy of PLP): “PLP got its start by producing content for Sonic Foundry’s ACID Dj 3.0 back in 2000. One of the founders of PLP (Jason Donnelly, also known as DJ Puzzle) worked at Sonic Foundry from 1998 to 2000 and during Christmas break he received a phone call announcing he had just lost his dream job due to corporate downsizing. Thankfully he was kept on as a freelancer for many months after that editing and ACIDizing for their wonderful loop discs.
“The ACID DJ gig gave these two a nice little kick start and so they moved on to create even more underground dance loops. They ran a mail order business and printed the CDs as the orders came in. We thank you for supporting PLP and for helping us grow so that we could get inspired and in turn inspire others. To show our appreciation this whole time we have been giving back to the community. For over ten years without skipping a beat, so to speak, PLP has sent out 20 free loops every month to subscribers. Don’t forget to grab this months set by the way! Keeping it real for the sake of music.”

Free Game Boy samples
Bedroom Producers Blog has released a free sample pack - Game Boy LSDJ Noise And Glitch Sessions:
Ok, here’s a brand new free bpb sample pack. It’s called Game Boy LSDJ Noise And Glitch Sessions, and contains sounds recorded from a black Game Boy running LSDJ software. I’ve created the sounds using LSDJ’s awesome synth engine, combined with the built-in pattern editor.
You’ll probably notice that the included sounds are much more aggressive than what you’d expect to hear in a standard Game Boy video game, for example. I was going for a glitchy, noisy vibe, and the LSDJ synth engine turned out as a great tool for creating such sounds.
All included sounds are 100% clean recordings of the Game Boy sound output, no post FX added. This is also my first sample set recorded in 24bit.
Specifications:
- Contents: 97 audio samples (24bit WAV)
- Download Size: 23.6MB (ZIP archive)
- Size On Disk: 38MB

Freeware bus compressor effect plug-in for Windows
Platinumears has released version 2 of FL4TT3RY, a freeware bus compressor effect plug-in for Windows.
This is a gentle squashy compressor intended for use on busses, though it also works well on channels. It has a very soft knee, with a ratio that gradually increases to hard limiting, and a choice between RMS based level detection (with a window size that depends on the attack time) or a brand new peak sensing algorithm.
This unit is inspired by a particular bit of hardware that I know quite well. Its not “modelled” however: I came up with the algorithm first, thought it sounded similar, so then skinned the plug to resemble the hardware. It is definitely not a proper model, so I’m not going to name the unit in question.
Changes in FL4TT3RY 2
- Slightly gentler transfer curve brings it (subjectively) closer to the hardware that inspired it.
- Tweaked attack smoothing to make it a little more aggressive with the fastest settings.
- Tweaked release smoothing to make it pump less with the fastest settings.
- New peak sensing mode.
- External sidechain inputs.
- Left click the meter to toggle the range between 6, 12 or 18dB.
- Right click the meter to switch between Gain Reduction metering, or Gain change metering (which includes make-up gain).
FL4TT3RY 2 for Windows (VST) is available to download at no cost. Donations are appreciated.
