  • Tritik Releases Visu Free Spectrogram Plugin for Real-Time Audio Analysis

    Tritik Releases Visu Free Spectrogram Plugin for Real-Time Audio Analysis

    Tritik has released Visu, a free spectrogram plugin for real-time audio analysis and visual feedback. Available for Windows and macOS in VST3, AU, and AAX formats, Visu offers an intuitive way to explore and understand the frequency content of your sounds.

    A spectrogram displays the frequency spectrum of a signal over time, with amplitude represented by color. This makes it useful for identifying transients, examining pitch and harmonics, and detecting background noise or frequency buildup.

    Enhanced Visualization with Time-Frequency Reassignment

    Visu offers two viewing modes: a classic spectrogram and an enhanced mode that delivers increased clarity. The enhanced mode uses time-frequency reassignment, a method that sharpens detail by repositioning energy to more accurate locations using phase data. The result is better transient resolution and cleaner pitch visualization.

    This makes Visu more than just a basic visualizer – it’s a tool for in-depth spectral insight, useful for producers, engineers, and sound designers who need precision.

    Designed for Usability and Clarity

    This free spectrogram plugin provides flexibility with a range of useful features. You can choose between linear and logarithmic frequency scales, scroll or static display modes, and different FFT sizes. The plugin also includes real-time frequency readouts, a freeze function, and PNG export for capturing visuals.

    The free version is fully usable in black-and-white mode, with optional upgrades that unlock over 40 color maps, many designed to be color-blind friendly.

    Features

    • Classic and Enhanced spectrogram modes
    • Time-frequency reassignment for detailed analysis
    • Adjustable FFT size and draw modes
    • Linear or logarithmic frequency scales
    • Real-time frequency readout under cursor
    • Freeze display and PNG export
    • HiDPI support for sharp visuals
    • 40+ optional color maps (full version)
    • Free version fully usable (black & white mode)
    • VST3, AU, and AAX support for PC and Mac

    Free Download

    The Visu free spectrogram plugin is available for download at the Tritik website.

    Retromelon’s TOYZ has introduced MDX-4, a free multi fx plugin available as a download for PC and Mac users. This modular-style unit offers a flexible environment for creative sound design, giving producers total freedom to patch and combine effects in any order.

    MDX-4 brings the experience of modular processing inside your DAW. Whether you’re shaping ambient textures or building experimental chains, this plugin offers an intuitive workflow that avoids fixed signal paths.

    Modular Effects with Custom Routing

The interface takes inspiration from hardware modular systems, offering full control over input and output connections.

    Reverb includes three distinct modes: Gated, Freeze, and Normal. The delay supports stereo and ping-pong options. Each module provides detailed control for adjusting tone, timing, and modulation, giving users the tools to craft unique results.

    Built-In LFO Modulation

    MDX-4 includes four independent LFOs, each offering more than 30 waveform types. These can be assigned to modulate parameters across the effect modules, introducing motion and evolving textures to your audio. The LFO matrix complements the modular workflow with added depth and flexibility.

    Features

    • Modular-style multi-effects environment
    • Distortion, Filter, Reverb, and Delay modules
    • Gated and Freeze reverb modes
    • Stereo and ping-pong delay types

  • SaschArt Releases multiDelay Free Creative Delay Plugin

    SaschArt Releases multiDelay Free Creative Delay Plugin

    SaschArt has introduced multiDelay, a free creative delay plugin for DAWs running on Windows and macOS. Designed for producers, sound designers, and mix engineers, multiDelay delivers an advanced delay architecture with up to three additional child delays, opening new frontiers in rhythmic and spatial processing.

    Detailed Delay Shaping

    At its core, multiDelay offers flexible time-based manipulation with the ability to sync delay times to your DAW’s tempo. It features a Warp Control to manipulate the stereo image, including Ping-Pong and Stereo warp types. This allows for bouncing echoes or rich layered spatial effects.

    Layered Serial Delays

    A key highlight of multiDelay is the ability to cascade up to three serial child delays. These delays are stacked in series within the feedback loop, creating depth and complexity not achievable through multiple independent delay units.

    • Control delay times per child unit in ms or sync mode
    • Blend child delays via a dedicated Mix parameter
    • Use cascading delays for ambient layering or rhythmic interplay

    Built-In Filters and Tonal Shaping

    multiDelay free creative delay plugin includes an onboard filter section with:

    • Lowpass
    • Highpass
    • Boosted Lowpass
    • Boosted Highpass (great for shimmer effects)

    Adjust filter cutoff frequency to shape your echoes precisely. Fade Time ensures smooth transitions between parameter changes, eliminating clicks.

    Stereo Imaging and Control

    • Pan Width control for managing stereo spread
    • Dry and Wet Mix parameters to blend processed signal
    • Feedback and Delay Time for classic or experimental echo designs
