Unusable Engineering has released Binaural Modulator, a free spatial modulation effect for macOS and Windows. Binaural Modulator is basically an auto-pan plugin on steroids. The thing that makes it pretty cool is that it is built around a small room model, with a fixed listening point in the middle and one or two moving sound-source…

CapybaraSoftware has made CapySynth permanently free after the response to last week’s BPB coverage. We first covered CapySynth last Saturday when it was free for 24 hours. The developer later emailed to say the support from BPB readers was overwhelmingly positive, with over 5,000 downloads, and that it changed his mind about the pricing. So,…

BPB reader Wiseman has released WiseTracker, a free public beta tracker that runs as both a Windows standalone app and a VST3 instrument plugin called WiseTrax. This one has an interesting backstory. Wiseman is not a developer in the traditional sense, but he has used trackers for decades and wanted something that felt like FastTracker…

YMCK has released Magical FDS Plug, a free software synthesizer that emulates the sound of the FDS sound chip. This is an absolute blast from the past for me, because YMCK’s Magical 8bit Plug was one of the first plugins I ever installed. I was deep into chiptune music back then, and I was using…

Fine Classics Plugins is offering Fine Classics Saturator as a free download again for a limited time. We featured Fine Classics Saturator on BPB last year when it was also available for free, so this is a nice second chance for anyone who missed it. To claim the plugin this time, enter your name and…

Developer DAWJunkie has released Drumbo Jr, a free drum machine for macOS and Windows. Drumbo is something of a departure from the norm, as we typically see synth tributes (like the DT-600 Mini) and quirky FX plugins (like Knobs) from DAWJunkie. This time, we’ve got Drumbo Jr, the developer’s first drum machine, and it’s free…

Plugin Boutique is offering 87% off Solid State Logic’s SSL Native Channel Strip 2, bringing the price down from $149 to just $19. The important part is that the offer ends today, June 26th. If you have been waiting for a low price on a proper SSL channel strip plugin, this is the perfect opportunity…

Sketch Audio has released Series 9000, a free low-pass filter and distortion plugin for macOS, Windows, and iOS. Series 9000 features a sixth-order low-pass filter based on a late-1980s rackmount sampler. The developer does not name the original unit, but I’m pretty sure that it emulates the Akai S900/S950 family. That is definitely a fun…
