Lexor is giving you a pristine clear chorus sound
WOK has announced the release of Lexor, a chorus effect plug-in for Windows.
Lexor is giving you a pristine clear chorus sound, free of unwanted artefacts or signal colouring and with a clear and easy user interface for quick results.
While our vintage CromFX has it’s focus on reproducing the sonic instabilities of old hardware, this plugin takes advantage of the highest precise mathematical calculations for a pure and plain signal modulation.
Lexor features
- Full stereo signal path.
- Triple chorus line per path with multi-modulation.
- Bass filter to keep the lower frequencies “clear” when used with bass sounds.
- Mono switch.
- Low on CPU.
Lexor is available to purchase as a VST effect plug-in for Windows PC for 14 EUR.

The effect section of Cromina String Machine
WOK has release CromFX, the effect section of Cromina String Machine as separate plug-in with enhanced options. You can select from 4 different chorus types (modeled after vintage circuits), 3 phaser models and 2 delays. Here’s what WOK has to say…
CromFX is the perfect addon for our string machine, but can of course add brightness and warmth to any sound source. In the chorus section you will find the lush and warm chorus of Cromina plus 3 more variations, modeled after famous designs from Korg™ and Roland™.
For the phaser we added 2 more designs which support host sync, as the two delays (one additional analog tape style delay) do.
CromFX is available as a VST plugin for Windows.

ButterComp, a digital compressor effect plug-in for Mac.
Airwindows has released ButterComp, a digital compressor effect plug-in for Mac.
ButterComp, digital compressor effect
Like Desk, rather than apply color to the sound, ButterComp does its thing by using a better algorithm, a peculiar approach to compression that hasn’t been done before to my knowledge. Some bits of it are inspired by remarks from Alexey Vaneev, and some bits of it are strange Airwindows things he knows nothing of
the upshot is, this compressor produces virtually no high frequency hash, and sounds bloom out of it in a delicious way.
ButterComp is available to purchase as an Audio Unit effect plug-in for Mac, priced at $59.99 USD.

How to makes pads with Dronemakes
In this video, Brian demonstrates how to make excellent pad sounds using the free spectral processing plug-in Spectral Dronemaker by composer Michael Norris.
Spectral Dronemaker is one of Trifonic’s favorite tools, and (as Brian discusses) it was used most recently to create sounds for their remix of Hybrid’s track Can You Hear Me.
Demo of a new effect plug-in from Expert Sleepers – Spectral Conquest
Expert Sleepers announce the release of a new plug-in for both Windows and Mac OS X – Spectral Conquest v1.0.0.
Spectral Conquest is an effect plug-in that lets you directly manipulate the frequency spectrum of audio signals.
The incoming signal is analysed via a FFT (Fast Fourier Transform), resulting in the familiar spectrum plot where the full audio spectrum is split into a number of narrow frequency bands. The outgoing audio is then regenerated by an Inverse FFT. The interesting bit is that the plug-in lets you modify the frequency spectrum in between.
Spectral Conquest allows you to modify the spectrum in two ways:
– By setting a multiplier for each frequency band. You can simply draw out the multipliers in the GUI.
– By applying a script to the spectrum. Some basic scripts are included with the plug-in to perform operations such as filtering and gating, but you can also write scripts yourself to do whatever you like.
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.
Argotlunar, a real-time granulator effect plug-in
Mike O has released Argotlunar, a real-time granulator effect plug-in for Windows and Linux VST hosts. It’s free and Open Source – the source code is licensed under GNU GPLv2.
A grain is a sho rt sample of an input audio stream. Argotlunar can play up to 20 grains simultaneously, with each grain having unique and adjustably random settings of delay, amplitude, panning, duration, filter, pitch and glissando. The implementation is comparable to the AudioMulch Nebulizer.
Details:
- Parabolic grain amplitude envelope.
- 12dB state variable filter (HP/BP/LP/Notch).
- Program change can be modulated by VST parameter.
- Feedback is capable of self-oscillation.
