Shortcircuit Free is a free version of the Shortcircuit sampler VSTi that is limited to 2-note polyphony and 2 instances.

Each voice in shortcircuit features two filter-slots, and the selection isn't limited to the traditional pick. In addition to the regular lowpass/highpass/bandpass/notch & peak-filters and variations thereof there is an array of filter algorithms (not strictly filters in the traditional sense, but called so because of their location in the audio path) including distortion, parametric/graphic/morphing equalizers,bit-reduction/decimation, gating, limiting, slew-rate distortion, ring-modulation, frequency shifting and phase-modulation (better known as FM). The selection even includes analog-style oscillators that you can mix with the sample.

Livecut is based on BBCut the BreakBeat Cutting library written by Nick Collins for SuperCollider.

It is a live beat-slicer but instead of manipulating equal chunks of audio like most beatslicers do, it works on the notion of audio cuts whose length and number of repetition depends on the context and the cutting procedure. Cuts are organized in blocks which then form a phrase.

LiveSync Recorder is a VST FX plugin which lets you capture, preview, and export audio as 1 or 2-bar loops, all in sync with your host's BPM! This is a very useful plugin for recording musicians; you can essentially keep only the good parts of one's performance while they jam!

It is also a great plug-in for grabbing those "happy accidents" right after they happen.... Never lose that "magic moment" that occurs while tweaking a VSTi or VST FX again!

The commercial version of LSR has 8-bar record+save buffers instead of 2-bar as in the free version, which makes it much less manic to operate! This is a great tool for capturing and creating a bunch of variations/loops quickly.

Writes the input audio to a buffer and them lets you 'play' it (i.e. control the size of the buffer, and the speed at which it's played through) - works best if you've got a MIDI keyboard connected. I know the name's a misnomer, but I couldn't think of anything else to call it. (Delphi)

The Coldcutter is designed to chop a loop into a number of slices or 'cuts' and rearranges them randomly in real-time according to a number of parameters. The current version of the Coldcutter was primarily designed for use with Ableton Live 1.5 but works with Cubase etc...

Relofter is a Wave Looper/Mangler. It can Record from Audio Input (when Record Button is on) or Load Audio Files from Disk via Drag and Drop. To Load a File just drop it somewhere on the plugin. Use the Grainmove Slider to Activate the 'StretchGrainyInnerloop' Play Modus. Ctrl+Click on the Grainmove Slider sets it back to normal Play Modus. U can set the Playdirection of the Grainy_Innerloop Indepent from Main Direction with the Graindirection Button. When Restart is Switched on, the Loop is Restarted every x't Bar (->textfield), Synced to Host-Songposition.

Buffer-Innerloop-Scanner-Delay. Good for Stutter and pseudo Timestretch FX. Innerloop-Size and Move Parameters are depending on Host BPM Settings.

This is the alpha version of Scrubber. I made it for doing the time-stretching "Dread-voice" thing you hear in a lot of old jungle and drum and bass. Of course, it's kinda got out of hand and bloated with options and functions - syncing to tempo, nasty granular stuff and a whole bunch of ways to control the playback with the mouse in the waveform window...

Decimator is a little effect plugin that consists of a bit quantizer and sample rate reducer followed by a LP/HP filter.

Part of the SourceBag collection (donationware).

Phutboyslim is a quick 'n' dirty inline sampler. It is designed to be inserted in the master output fx rack and functions by constantly sampling the last "x" beats of the input signal (your whole mix, usually). When it receives a midi note, it constantly plays back that buffer until the midi note is released, at which point the source material is allowed through again. Think of the stuttering samples in yer typical fatboy slim tune and you'll have a good idea of what phutboyslim can do for you...

This new mad contraption does lo-fi pitch-shifting and mental feedback effects!! It even has midi control over the pitch shifting. The code is based on a basic pitch-shifter, coded by Bram in C, translated by Toby to Delphi. Toby added some more features and a funkie GUI... There aren't many VST plugins coded in Delphi so both Bram and Toby thought it was a good idea to open-source it!...

Scrubby remembers the last few seconds of your audio signal and plays it back by zipping around to random points within it. That memory of sound is called a delay buffer. You define a range that Scrubby can look back through and a rate at which Scrubby will seek new target destinations and then, at the beginning of each seeking cycle, a new target is chosen somewhere within the seek range of the delay buffer. Then Scrubby travels over to that target position, speeding up or slowing down playback as necessary, moving backwards or forwards...

Bit/Rate-Reducer vst audio effect with pre- and after cutoff filters. Runs on most vst hosts. Gives you the ability to create Daft Punk like chord sounds, cool lofi beats and more. Version 2 now comes with 3 interpolation algorithms, lp/hp filters, 2 bit reducers and improvements! Read dox for detailed infos and listen to example mp3 snippet. Report any bugs here, this is a rc. Windows only. V2 and V1 work side by side.

A polyphonic, multi-timbral sample player:

• 32 voice polyphony
• Multi-timbral
• MIDI learn on org.key, low.key and up.key
• Low/band/highpass filter with cutoff and Q
• Reads standard wav (with loop points) and aiff
• Volume/filter ADSR
• LFO assignable to level, pan, cutoff and pitch...

Bit depth and sample rate reduction for added aliasing and decimation noise. a very noisy VST plugin.

VST2.0 plug-in sampler for PC : Polyphonic up to 24 voices : 4 samples loadable simultaneously, of which each can be assigned to its own note, or all to the same note : Mono and stereo sample support, 8 to 32 bit, up to 96 kHz, WAV, FLoat-WAV and AIFF : Level, tuning and pan adjustment : Supports "velocity splits" and "velocity crossfades" : "Velocity sensitive" trigger pad : Activity light : Sample accurate timing : Contains the latest "LinPlug Audio Engine" : Shiny ...

Helios is a little sampler unit, intended to explore the more creative side of sampling and not really meant to replace full-fledged samplers. Rather regard it as a fun and wicked live performance tool :-) It can load a single WAV file and tweak it live in realtime to produce some really strange sounds.

Buffer Override can overcome your VST host's audio processing buffer size & then (unsuccessfully) override that new buffer size to be a smaller buffer size. It makes a lot more sense if you just try it out & hear what it does. It can sound like a stuttery vocoder or a stuck beat shuffler or many other delightful things. In certain hosts, you can also "play" Buffer Override via MIDI notes & even sync it to song tempo.

Deconstructor takes your input signal, splits it into 8 equal pieces and lets you then determine how these pieces should be arranged and processed. While the algorithm itself is pretty simple, a broad variety of "classic" effects can be reproduced in a very simple way, for example Pitchshifting, Autopanner, Tremolo, Delay, Simple Reverb, Simple Vocoder, and so on... But don't forget that its true power lies in the combination of different processing methods to produce new, strange and sometimes very exciting effects...

A basic version of Deconstructor FX with limited features is available. The basic version is not time-limited or save disabled!

Current release: 3 (6.6.98)Some users have reported problems with crashes using Cubase 5.0 and even our own VS1. A new commercial and demo version of VReorder will be available by the end of November 2000 which will fix these problems. The new version will be a vst2 instrument with full midi support.
