Get rocking with Podium
Podium Free is a fully functional freeware edition of Podium. It is identical to the commercial Podium version, except for a few limitations, and a small “Podium Free” logo.
Limitations of Podium Free compared to the commercial version
- MIDI interface setup is limited to one input and one output.
- 64-bit mixer engine option is disabled.
- Plugin multiprocessing is disabled.
- ReWire is disabled.
- Surround-sound playback is disabled.
The disabled plugin multiprocessing option means that only one CPU core will be used when processing plugins. If you have a dual-core CPU you will be able to use 50% of your available CPU power before the Podium CPU indicator overloads. Podium Free still uses all available CPU cores for various tasks such as GUI updates and disk streaming.

Free VST with arcade game qualities

OPM chip was popular in the 1980s and early 1990s. Videogame fans will most likely be familiar with the Sega Genesis (Megadrive), whose sound chip is a slight variation on the OPM – the OPN. The chip has also been used in countless arcade games including Paperboy, Outrun, Metal Slugs 1-5, and Street Fighter II.
Features:
- Yamaha YM2151 (OPM) 4 operator FM sound chip emulation.
- Supports MIDI CCs.
MrRay SeventyThree – free VST piano synth
Although it may sound like a sampled instrument, MrRay SeventyThree is still synthesized, as the sound it produces is 100% calculated in real time. What characterizes this version of MrRay is a series of “imperfections” introduced in order to capture, with the highest possible fidelity, the sound of a Mark I. There are mallet noises, wooden noises, metallic artifacts and changes of volume for each single note.
Also, the lower notes have a particular “growl” when you hit them hard, and when you hit more keys really hard, you’ll hear them “vibrating”, originally due to the instability of the harp assembly inside the real instrument. You won’t hear twice the exact same sound when you play it. When keys are released you’ll hear the noises produced by the “dampers” which stop the vibration of the tines.
Free frequency shifter and analog echo emulation
Here’s what Valhalla DSP has to say about the ValhallaFreqEcho…
Bode-style frequency shifter + analog echo emulation = skull melting chaos. Perfect for dub, Dr. Who and all of your psychedelic needs. Sonic results range from subtle chorusing and double tracking to barberpole phasing and flanging to endless glissandos and runaway echos. I get lost in this one.
Features
- New GUI
- New Tempo Sync Delay
- New Mouse-over Tooltips
- Low cut and high cut controls for the feedback path, allowing for finer control over the echo decay.
- Mono/stereo in, stereo out.
