    Safari Pedals Is Offering Hawk Phaser Plugin for Free With Coupon

    Safari Pedals is offering their Hawk Phaser plugin, normally $59, as a free download for a limited time. Just use the code KARANYIHAWKFREE at checkout. It’s a high-flying phaser plugin capable of everything from soft shimmer to swirling stereo depth.

    Precision and Power in a Phaser

    Hawk Phaser is designed to bring a wide range of modulation tones into your mix. You can go subtle with gentle movement or lean in for dramatic, resonant sweeps. Think less “old-school stompbox”, more modern, hi-fi modulation with a stereo edge.

    The controls are focused but flexible: drive for pre-saturation, depth for modulation strength, filtering for tone focus, and width for stereo spread. Auto gain keeps everything level while you dial in the perfect phase.

    Features

    • Input Drive for saturation before the phaser
    • Depth control to shape phase modulation intensity
    • Filter to target specific frequency ranges
    • Feedback for deeper resonance
    • Rate control to set modulation speed
    • Width control for stereo imaging
    • Auto Gain for level consistency

    Plugin Format and Requirements

    • macOS: VST3, AU, AAX
    • Windows (64-bit): VST3, AAX
    • OS: macOS 10.15+ / Windows 8 and above
    • CPU: 2 GHz Intel Dual Core or AMD equivalent
    • RAM: 8 GB minimum (16 GB recommended)

    Free Download

  • QuietFormat Releases Two Free Modulation Plugins (macOS & Windows)

    QuietFormat Releases Two Free Modulation Plugins (macOS & Windows)

    QuietFormat has released two free modulation plugins: Auralis Chorus and Auralis Multi Mod. Both are lightweight, well-designed tools that cover classic modulation effects without getting in your way. If you’re looking for subtle movement or more expressive texture in your tracks, these are worth grabbing.

    Auralis Chorus

    Auralis Chorus is a clean, straightforward chorus plugin with two modes that can be used individually or blended. Chorus 1 leans smooth and warm, giving you that familiar analog-style depth. Chorus 2 is brighter and more stereo-focused, great for opening up guitars, keys, or vocals.

    You can use them on their own or together with a single switch that mixes them at a 50/50 balance. There’s also a simple dry/wet mix knob to control how much effect you’re adding. No menu diving, just a few intuitive controls and a resizable interface that plays nice in any DAW.

    Auralis Multi Mod

    Auralis Multi Mod combines three familiar effects, Vibrato, Auto Pan, and Tremolo, into one plugin. Each section has its own depth and rate controls, and Tremolo can sync to your DAW tempo for rhythmic modulation. It’s designed to be simple but flexible, making it easy to add movement without reaching for separate plugins.

    • Vibrato: Pitch modulation for vintage wobble or subtle detuning
    • Auto Pan: Stereo motion with control over speed and intensity
    • Tremolo: Volume modulation with tempo sync for rhythmic chops

    There’s no need to overthink things here; the layout is intuitive, and it loads quickly without taking up much screen space.

    Free Download

    Both Auralis Chorus and Auralis Multi Mod are available as free downloads from the QuietFormat website.

  • Florian Mrugalla Releases Absorbiere Free Sidechain Ring Modulation Plugin

    Florian Mrugalla Releases Absorbiere Free Sidechain Ring Modulation Plugin

    Florian Mrugalla has introduced Absorbiere, a free and open-source sidechain ring modulation plugin designed to manage peak levels in your mixes without the typical artifacts of compression.

    A New Take on Peak Control

    Absorbiere provides an innovative alternative to traditional compressors and volume duckers. Instead of reducing gain directly, the plugin uses sidechain-driven ring modulation to absorb transients. This method can maintain transparency while effectively taming harsh peaks, preserving the original sound character.

    Ideal for taming kick or snare transients, Absorbiere analyzes the sidechain input and adjusts gain staging for optimal headroom using a “Capture” button. This makes it easier to prevent clipping without needing aggressive dynamic processing.

    Smart Workflow Features

    One standout feature is the use of track identifiers, which allow synced settings across multiple plugin instances. When you make adjustments or recapture sidechain input on one instance, those changes apply to all other tracks using the same identifier, helping streamline your workflow.

    The Mix knob provides precise control over the modulation depth, allowing you to fine-tune the amount of effect you want to apply, thereby balancing peak control and tonal transparency.

    Free Download

    Absorbiere is available for free as an open-source VST3 plugin for both Windows and macOS. You can download it directly from Florian Mrugalla’s GitHub page.

  • Tilr Releases TIME-12 Free Modulation FX Plugin Inspired by GrossBeat

    Tilr Releases TIME-12 Free Modulation FX Plugin Inspired by GrossBeat

    Tilr has released TIME-12, a free modulation and delay FX plugin inspired by creative tools like GrossBeat and ShaperBox. TIME-12 offers powerful time-based audio effects such as tape stop, stutter, glitch, reverse, pitch shift, and more.

    Built from the Ground Up

    TIME-12 is a complete rewrite of Tilr’s earlier plugin TIME-1, now rebuilt from scratch using the JUCE framework. This update brings significant performance improvements, broader platform compatibility, and a host of new creative features.

    What’s New in TIME-12

    • Cross-platform support for Windows, macOS, and Linux
    • Preset system for quick recall of custom setups
    • Audio trigger using transient detection
    • Pattern sync aligned to beat position
    • Enhanced multi-point editing tools (drag, scale, skew)
    • Improved paint mode with custom user patterns
    • More flexible pattern rotation
    • Undo/redo functionality
    • Built-in sequencer for pattern creation and randomization

    Creative Sound Design Tools

    TIME-12 is built for hands-on creativity, offering a 12-pattern triggering system controlled by MIDI notes. Users can draw modulation shapes in the multi-segment editor, apply unique point types (curve, stairs, S-curve), and sync modulation to tempo or use free-running LFO rates in Hz.

    The plugin also supports two triggering modes:

    • MIDI Trigger Mode
    • Audio Trigger Mode (via transients)

    These features allow producers to craft rhythmic gating, dynamic glitching, or smooth pitch manipulation effects with precision and control.

    Features

    • Multi-segment envelope editor
    • 12 MIDI-triggered patterns
    • Advanced paint mode for visual editing
    • Tempo-sync or Hz-based modulation
    • Pattern sequencer and randomizer
    • Hold, curve, stairs, S-curve and other point shapes
    • Undo/redo support

    Free Download

    TIME-12 modulation FX is available as a free plugin for Windows, macOS, and Linux on the Tilr website (GitHub). It comes in VST3 LV2 and AU formats.
