Plug-ins : Rusty Trombone Erectifier - pcmusicRusty Trombone has released Erectifier, a free plug-ins that works as a doubler, demented phaser or exciter. It is designed to widen and phatten your sound, although it is capable of being a very demented beast as well.

You have an LFO that controls how long back an echo is. You can set the length and speed of this LFO. Then there is a filter that can be LowPass, HighPass or Allpass, and a cut Hz so that you can control where the cut is. The distortion is to "gritt" up the sound a little, or a lot, it's not the world's best distortion. Then you can amplify the signal, if you want to. The filter can cut away a lot of the volume, that's why we have it. Then finally there is a on/off. There are two to the left side and two on the right side. And finally one dry through parameter. So if you'd like to test one of your settings, turn the other three off (via on/off parameter) and then tweak away. There are a few presets (plus a random-function).

Erectifier was programmed for Rusty Trombone by Shuriken.se.

Erectifier is available for Windows and Mac OS X as a VST effect plug-in and it is free.

Plug-ins : Audio Damage BigSeq2 available - pcmusicAudio Damage has just announced the release of BigSeq2, the new version of its effect and gate sequencer.

BigSeq2 is a massive extension to the feature set of the BigSeq gate effect. With twelve sequencers controlling ten effects in six blocks, BigSeq2 is capable of everything from short staccato gate sequences to long, evolving filter sweeps and frequency shifts, and everything in between.

The six effect "Blocks" contain ten effects in total, and these Blocks can be re-arranged simply by dragging them, giving you full control over the routing of the effects. Each effect Block has a gate sequencer and a modulation sequencer. The gate sequencer turns that effect on and off (or in the case of the delay Block, activates the "send" control), while the modulation sequencer can affect any and all parameters in that block.

Features :

- Ten effects in six blocks, each with its own step sequencer, modulation sequencer, and time base.
- The gate and modulation sequencers for each effect block run on their own time-base, allowing different time signatures and step times for each effect.
- Each block has several parameters which can be altered via the modulation sequencer for that block.
- The effects blocks can be re-arranged in any order.
- Each sequencer has three independent modes of operation: forward, reverse, and random step. In addition, each of the twelve sequencers can be completely randomized at regular selectable intervals, for interesting modulation and gating possibilities.
- The included effects are VCA, pan, multi-mode filter, fuzz, sine warp, delay (with chorus and flanger modes), frequency shifter (also providing ring mod and phasing), sample rate reduction, bit depth, and our own "Error" effect.
- MIDI Learn on all published parameters for external hardware control. (VST only.)

BigSeq2 is available now for both Mac and PC in VST and AU formats at a price of $49 (upgrade : $10). For more information and audio examples, please follow the link below :
