WELCOME!
This page contains an assortment of things that
I find useful, interesting, or just plain fun.
My contact info and various socials are here too.
Use the navigation links below to jump to a section
so that you can simply press back to return here.
BUT WHY?
The main reason I wanted to make a page like this
is because I see a lot of artistic types that are
absurdly reluctant to share their "secret sauce."
Frankly, I think that's both scummy and stupid.
While not quite gatekeeping, they're withhholding
info that could really help out people new to this,
perpetuating an unhelpful elitist sort-of mentality
that's upsettingly widespread both online and IRL.
It's also a huge self-burn to imply that your tools
are the only thing that really set your work apart.
The link library is my own small way of giving back,
of trying to bring a greater focus on openness and
mutual growth back into the creative mainstream.
If you appreciated this page, want to say hello,
and/or know something that might make a good entry,
contact me!
Can't promise I'll add anything, though.
You can also
donate/tip
if you want to show support
by buying me a drink or something, but only if
you can afford to. Please take care of yourself.
DEXADRINN CHAOTIC COLLECTION
-aka- THIS FOLDER WILL GROW
by Dreya D. / Dexadrinn
An ever-growing multi-format audio mess,
comprised of many sorts of samples and
presets made by me or collected from an
unknown large amount of other sources.
Follow or check in on
my Twitter
for
announcements of new additions + updates.
This is basically a pared-down version of the custom samples folder
that I have been growing for I don't even know how many years; I'd say
since I was 12 (13 years ago since I'm 25 as of writing this!) but I've
lost the vast majority of my first creations, so I honestly don't know.
Unfortunately, I have no clue whatsoever where some of these are taken from.
I admit that this is at least in part due to my own disorganized tendencies.
Some are from YouTube videos, Twitter clips, Twitch streams, and many others.
If a sound was created by someone else, I have tried to credit them in
some regard, usually leaving their name or the song it's taken from
in the file name of the sample, such as I did with handful of guitar
parts from my friend Weston Malone aka humble dot, the snare drums from
Vubobinali and phritz, or even giving them their own folder as with the
numerous sounds sent to me by my elusive friend, Discord user 128#2355.

Synth1

possibly the most important free synth ever,
Ichiro Toda's take on the Clavia Nord Lead 2
|
Vital
|
fantastic wavetable synth with audio-rate modulation
free version is barely different than the paid one;
it only limits use of the text-to-wavetable feature
and leaves out some of the presets and wavetables
this one is a must-have, please support Matt Tytel

DISTRHO Cardinal
|
modular synthesizer and eurorack simulator with loads of modules,
including those by the wonderful Aria Salvatrice
|
Exakt Lite
|
4-operator FM synth with an intuitive interface
alternatively, Oxe FM has 6 operators but a smaller
more "classic" interface. i prefer both over Dexed
b/c that only has sine wave operators to work with
i opt for other VSTs over this but it's still good
if you don't have access to and/or don't care for
Em Essex's real animal,
Native Instruments' FM8,
Image-Line's Sytrus, or
Ableton's Operator
|
Magical 8bit Plug
|
quick 'n' easy authentic NES/Famicom sound maker
and the second plugin i ever downloaded (i think)
gotta love that sharp stairstepped triangle wave
|
PPSE C700
|
fantastic emulation of SNES/SFC sample playback that allows
for importing of your own sounds or instruments directly
from your favorite games by means of an .spc file
|
GENNY
|
Sega Genesis/Mega Drive emulation FM synth that can import
a variety of instrument formats from your favorite games.
made by Landon Podbielski aka superjoebob,
the creator of Duck Game, who made this plugin for its soundtrack
beware, use 44.1kHz sample rate to avoid detune!

VST Plugins
|
the Comet's Tail Toybox is a wonderful assortment of quirky and character-filled plugins with synths for
retro and circuitbent chippy sounds, custom 808 cowbells (phonk lovers rejoice), physical modeling, hoovers,
hardcore and psytrance kicks, rave stabs, acid, harsh noise, faux-"analog" FM/PM, and more!
here's
some
examples
for
you
|
Flowstoners
Quilcom VSTs
|
amazingly fun, diverse, and unusual array of plugins.
vector synthesis, wave concatenators, additive, FM, granular, phase distortion, physical modeling, oh my!
made with
Flowstone by
Rex Basterfield aka Spogg,
who has been making electronic instruments and fx since the 60s!
|
Xoxos VSTs
|
some seriously unique albeit sometimes esoteric plugins,
give me a similar vibe to Quilcom. there's synths that
aim to emulate the vocal tracts of animals!
i quite like pling4, their karplus-strong string synth.
don't use the fake "xoxos.net" and only download from plugins4free
|
AquesTone 2
|
a Miku-alike vocal synth using the Japanese phoneme set
|
Surge
|
used to cost money, now free and open source!
3 oscillators per scene with various synth engines
|
Full Bucket Music
|
lots of classic instrument and effect emulations, as well as some more original offerings. i like their
Korg VC-10 vocoder,
Korg Mini Pops-7, and
Korg MonoPoly emulations
|
OsTIrus
Virus TI Emulator
|
an emulation of the Access Virus TI
that utilizes the official firmware provided for legal hardware owners.
getting it all working may initially seem daunting but this SETUP TUTORIAL makes it quite straightforward
|
Tunefish
|
V4 is a tiny synth with an atypical iFFT-based generator
V3 uses a spline-based oscillator because that version was made
with less of a size constraint, making it debatable which
version is the more powerful one. why not try both?

ABOUT |
Camel Audio
|
a company acquired by Apple
that you probably know for CamelCrusher, a freeware version of their distortion, CamelPhat. they also made a neat rhythmic multi-effect, CamelSpace.
none of their stuff is available to purchase anymore, but their Alchemy synth was integrated into Logic, so i've left that one out just to be a lil safer
|
DtBlkFx
|
fast Fourier transform (FFT)
multi-effect by Darrel Tam that's capable of some seriously cool spectral stuff;
think Unfiltered Audio's SpecOps
if it were from 2006
and sacrificed the whole modular aspect -
BACKUP LINK
big ups to Dozius aka cisc
for the 64-bit versions!
|
Valhalla DSP
|
- Supermassive - reverb/delay capable of HUGE spaces
- SpaceModulator - neat flanger doubler sorta thing
- FreqEcho - the psychedelic combo of a Bode-style frequency shifter inside a delay,
like a free Echobode but different and with less features
|
dblue Glitch 1.3
|
iconic multi-effect sequencer by Illformed aka dblue
one of the very first vst plugins i ever downloaded
old (but free!) version of what has become Glitch 2
clearly the inspiration for Sugar Bytes' Effectrix
|
Airwindows
|
lots of cool effects with no GUI, not that they need one
plenty to explore but i suggest at least checking out his
Iron Oxide tape sim,
BassKit bass enhancer,
and some of the various
reverbs, but i implore you to try more
|
Ohmicide
|
classic multiband distortion with a
wide array of different distortion models
needs an account to download tho
|
GFM Psypan
|
interaural time difference (ITD)
binaural panner
clean and simple-to-use stereo imaging tool

|
UnplugRed's
VST Trove

lots of fun stuff; the one that jumps out to me most is Prisma, a 4-band distortion with 21(!) different modules avaiable per band.
go follow Melody,
explore through her cool website (or else), and
support her other projects
|
Misstortion 2
|
lovely emulation of Logic's Clip Distortion,
which is/was the go-to for hardstyle kicks
still updated as of 2022; go follow
Melissa
and support her other projects
|
N-PHASE SHIFT
by Nasko
|
512 bands of linear phase delay for transformative changes to the character of sounds. think wet and zappy allpass filter-y sorta things like
Disperser by
Kilohearts,
jDisperser by
Jasper Marsalis, and
Diopser by
Robbert van der Helm.
Nasko is also making lots of
other cool stuff

i really like SPAN, a customizable spectrum analyzer and stereo
correlation meter that can display true peak,
RMS,
EBU R128

multiband and/or frequency-specific compression if you want
|
BlueLab Audio

full suite of plugins, including some cool
head-related transfer function (HRTF)
spatialization and spectral processing stuff, from a one-person company that made everything free when they went out of business

|
ValiumDuPeuple
|
maker of some really great devices. their paid offerings are easily their best,
and very fairly priced as well imo. some of them even have feature-reduced lite versions
- ClipGain
- change audio clip gain, transposition, warping, and more, directly from the timeline
- BiP
- bounce-in-place, quick and intuitive resampling. WARNING: the lite version has a bug
that immediately triggers recording of a resample upon opening a session containing it.
it still works great if you just want to demo it, just don't save and load a session with it unless
you wanna be jumpscared by your own track. the full version works great though
- Panarchy
- go beyond your typical level-based panning with four additional panning methods. think of this one as a suped-up
GFM Psypan or
Goodhertz Panpot
- DocPhase -
a reproduction of DrMS by Mathew Lane,
an amazing plugin for spatialization, stereo widening, upmixing, and mid-side, etc at a tenth of the cost
there are also a handful of free devices such as:
- BadHaas - multiband stereo widener. sums to mono well.
highly comparable to AS Width by Sabroi, which is linked in the entry directly below this one
- Outist/Inist - solution for busses anywhere
- BlastHard - transparent hard clipper
|
Sabroi
|
AS Console
allows you to mix using the styles of multiple consoles and preamps. it costs $30, but its great transparent multiband stereo width module,
AS Width,
is available separately as a free download for those who enter their e-mail. sums to mono perfectly so it's better than the regular ol' Haas effect trick imo
|
Fors
|
really high quality devices; there's a few
different
synthesizers, a
"blurred" delay, and a
sequencer
sadly none of them are free but i'd rather they be
near other M4L devices than in the paid section
|
Noir Labs

not free but great stuff
- Chain Shaper - amazing audio-triggered sidechain ducking utilty
with multiband capability. affords the tightness and control of midi-triggered sidechain without any of the dummy tracks or extra midi routing
- Carver - simple but powerful level-preserving transient shaper
with adjustable detection & more
- Volume Buddy
- LUFS auto-gain level matching device designed to counter volume bias, train your ears, and help speed up your mixing

Infiltrator 2
might be my fav sequencable multi fx plugin rn. wide array of options incl. time-based fx, spectral stuff, cool distortions, and multiple types of compression incl. multiband.
also a big fan of Texture,
an envelope following way to add noise or any other layer to a sound, kinda like Ableton Live's
Erosion if it could use samples
|
2C Audio
|
Aether is a top-tier algorithmic reverb
|
GHOST
by Exacoustics
|
amazingly powerful modern FM synth - wavetable engine with unison + warp modes + filter incl. fun ones like combs & phasers & allpass + distortions from clipping to bitcrush n wavefolders,
separate instances of these for EACH of the 6 operators, AND a big multi fx system like Vital if it allowed for duplicate fx
|
AAS Chromaphone
|
super good physical modeling synthesizer from the company that brought you the physical modeling within Ableton Live
|
Imagiro's Piano
|
just $20 for a great felted piano i helped beta test
please go support this amazing indie dev and musician
|
Cytomic
|
The Drop
has a ton of great filters, some modeled after classics like the MS20 rev 1 and 2, OSCar, JP8, Juno 6, SH2, SH101, Prodigy, and the ever-chaotic
EDP Wasp,
as well as custom designs like one halfway between Sallen-Key and SVF, and another inspired by the ARP Odyssey mk1.
Ableton's glue compressor is a licensed version of
The Glue, a take on the SSL bus compressor
|
Valhalla DSP

demo video

KClip and True Dynamics are both great, and though i've not used it, i've heard kind words about True Iron as well
|
Xfer Records
|
i know it's everywhere but Serum is too good to leave out, i use LFO Tool sometimes too
|
Kilohearts
|
Phase Plant and Multipass are great,
at least if you have all the snap-ins
|
Goodhertz
|
i like Vulf Compressor, a take on the compression
of the Boss SP-303 Dr. Sample's "Vinyl Sim" effect
|
XLN Audio
|
i like them for Addictive Drums and Addictive Keys
but RC-20 is also a pretty handy multi-effect
|
FabFilter
|
great bread and butter tools. i really like
their EQ, compressor, limiter, and distortion
|
Zynaptiq
|
morph is wild; think vocoder-like combining of signals, but without the individual frequency bands
|
iZotope
|
most probably know them for their mixing tools like Ozone but i come back to
VocalSynth and
Trash more often
|
Glitch 2
|
iconic grid-based multi-effect by Illformed aka dblue
clearly the inspiration for Sugar Bytes' Effectrix
|
Pulsar Audio
|
really nice compressors that mimic iconic hardware
|
SynthEdit
|
have you ever wanted to make your own virtual instruments or effects, tools that anyone could load regardless of
their DAW? you can without needing to learn how to code! instead, patch together your dream VST using a powerful
modular environment along the lines of Reaktor or VCV Rack
demo never expires so try it out for as long as you want!
if you make anything with it, please show me! :)

THE FINALS
|
def one of the best free cross-platform fps games out right now.
satisfying movement and gunplay in maps so destructible that your strategic options are vast.
really keeps you on your toes, makes you use your brain, and keeps the game exciting match after match.
all the "cash out" modes are my favorite. multiple teams of 3 players all compete over a small carryable cash box
with the goal of bringing it to a larger deposit box. hold the point until the cash out timer ends to score, but
beware, during that timer the opposing teams can steal the point from you, and it DOESN'T reset the timer!
lots of opportunity for cheeky plays and crazy comebacks.
because of the small team size, the game is way better
with a friend or two. game pace and level progression are slow but there's really something great here if you give it a chance.
check out this montage/frag movie
put together by some friends :)
