Korneff Audio Offers Power Grid Disruptor Free for a Limited Time
Korneff Audio is offering Power Grid Disruptor as a free download for a limited time. The plugin is currently available at no cost, down from its listed price of $347.99.

A Creative Effect for Glitch and Damage

Power Grid Disruptor is designed as a creative effect for adding glitch, damage, and extra bite to audio tracks. Korneff Audio presents it with a playful tone, but the plugin is a real working tool aimed at producers who want rougher, more unstable textures in their mixes.

It can be used to add more aggression to guitars, introduce broken and disrupted movement to tracks, or create more extreme effect processing inside a session.

Disrupt, Crush, Decimate, and Experiment

One of the central controls is the Disrupt button, which works like a trigger. Users hold it to build tension and then release it to fire the effect. Korneff Audio also includes several sound-shaping options, including Drive, BitCrush, Decimate, and Noise. These can be used individually or combined for more extreme results.

The plugin also includes more than 40 different sounds for mixing Surge and Impact variations. In addition, users can adjust direction, duration, and length settings for more unusual time-based effects.

Glitch Engine and Ducking Controls

Power Grid Disruptor syncs to the DAW, so the effect stays locked to the project tempo without rushing or dragging. It also includes an Impact Duck control that can reduce or fully silence the dry signal, allowing the impact sound to cut through more clearly.

For even more movement, the Glitch Engine offers four pattern modes: Stutter, Gate, Random, and Chaos. As a result, the plugin can work as both a rhythmic glitch tool and a more unpredictable sound design effect.

Features
- Free for a limited time
- Designed for glitch and damaged audio effects
- Disrupt button for tension-and-release style triggering
- Drive, BitCrush, Decimate, and Noise processing options
- More than 40 Surge and Impact sounds
- Direction, duration, and length controls

IK Multimedia Tape Echo – Free Download for a Limited Time
Audio Plugin Deals is currently offering the IK Multimedia Tape Echo plugin as a free download for a limited time. Normally priced at $99.99, this deal runs for two weeks and gives PC and Mac users the chance to add a classic tape delay to their toolkit at no cost.

Tape Echo is a faithful software recreation of the iconic Echoplex EP3, a tape delay unit originally introduced in 1969. Long favored by guitarists and producers alike, the EP3 became a studio staple for its warm, natural-sounding delays and subtle analog coloration. This plugin brings that same sonic character into the digital domain.

Modeled After the Original EP3 Hardware

The Tape Echo works on the original hardware’s principle: one tape head records the incoming signal onto magnetic tape, while another plays it back at a set distance, producing the delay. The delay time is physically modeled by adjusting the virtual distance between these two heads.

IK Multimedia has carefully emulated the EP3’s class A circuitry and magnetic tape behavior, capturing all the quirks and imperfections that gave the unit its unique tone. From subtle wow and flutter to tape hiss and saturation, everything is adjustable, offering both authenticity and control.

Classic Tone for Modern Mixes

This plugin adds depth and texture to mixes with a distinct 3D quality. It’s particularly effective on vocals, adding warm echoes that blend seamlessly into a track. Guitarists will appreciate its ability to deliver classic slap-back delay tones, perfect for surf rock and retro-inspired styles.

The Tape Echo also supports stereo operation with two independent delay lines, BPM-synced delay times, and full automation capabilities inside your DAW. Whether you’re after character, warmth, or just a classic sound, this plugin delivers.

Features
- Faithful recreation of the Echoplex EP3 tape delay
- Analog-modeled electronics and tape behavior
- BPM syncable delay times
- Dual delay lines for stereo operation
- Adjustable tape hiss, wow, flutter, and wear
- Full automation support in DAWs
