About the Plugins
Minimal Audio Cluster Delay is a versatile multi-tap delay plugin designed for rhythmic echoes and rich spatial effects. It features an intuitive sequencer with up to eight taps, macro controls for quick shaping, and real-time visual feedback to keep complex patterns under control. With 100 presets to get started, it also includes built-in effects such as wobble, diffusion, chorus, flanger, phaser, and frequency shifter, alongside flexible routing, send mode, and detailed stereo options including mid-side and cross-feedback. An analog-modeled feedback circuit adds character, while automatic ducking and helpful tooltips make it easy to integrate into fast-moving production workflows.
Thenatan TAWUS is a multilayer virtual instrument built around four fully independent samplers, designed for deep, layered sound design. Each layer includes its own filter, reverse, pan, gain, and tuning controls, alongside a pitch designer with vibrato, envelopes, glide, velocity response, and up to ±24 semitones of transpose. An intuitive XY pad allows quick browsing and blending of layers, while 600 samples across six banks, plus additional content, provide a strong foundation. With 14 onboard effects including modulation, dynamics, filtering, and spatial tools, over 570 royalty-free presets, and a resizable vector interface with real-time animations, TAWUS delivers a flexible, modern instrument in a compact 400 MB footprint.
Audiomodern Riffer is a powerful MIDI sequence generator designed for both software and hardware instruments, creating evolving patterns for pitch, duration, velocity, and density. It syncs tightly to host tempo with quantization, shuffle, and shift controls, and includes 53 scales plus support for custom scale creation. Users can define sequence length, pitch and velocity ranges, and motion behavior, while locking specific steps or notes for controlled variation. Features such as polyphonic mode, a multi-riff engine, Infinity mode for continuous evolution, MIDI input and performance mode, MIDI Learn, advanced routing with CC mapping, quick MIDI export, and global transpose make it a flexible compositional tool. A resizable interface and Apple Silicon support round out a modern, production-ready workflow.
Celemony Melodyne 5 Essential is a streamlined, note-based audio editor designed for precise pitch and timing correction. It includes Melodic with sibilant detection, Percussive, and Universal algorithms, allowing focused editing across vocals, instruments, and rhythmic material using the intuitive Main Tool. The Chord Track and Chord Grid provide automatic chord recognition for harmonic awareness, and it runs as VST3, AU, AAX, or in standalone mode, with ARA integration available in compatible DAWs for deeper workflow integration. As the entry-level edition, its feature set is more limited than the higher versions, with some advanced tools not included.
System requirements vary by product and platform; consult the respective product documentation before installation.
Limit by Acon Digital is temporarily available for FREE
Expiry: March 1st
Limit by Acon Digital is available as a free download with a 100% discount until March 1. The regular price is €101.48.
Limit is a limiter plugin for mix and mastering workflows. It uses a two-stage process, combining a pre-compressor with a peak-limiting algorithm. The look-ahead is adjustable from 0 to 30 milliseconds, allowing transient control before peaks occur.
Oversampling is available up to 4x for true-peak limiting and to reduce inter-sample clipping. Version 1.1 adds an auto-release mode to the pre-compressor that adapts release time to the incoming audio.
Typical applications include controlling peaks on the master bus, achieving competitive loudness targets, and preventing inter-sample overs in streaming and broadcast deliverables.
System requirements (Windows):

- Intel Core i3 or AMD multi-core processor (Intel Core i5 or faster recommended)
- 1366 x 768 display resolution (1920 x 1080 or higher recommended)

Kymatika Sounds releases Drones and Atmospheres free instrument for Audiomodern Soundbox
Expiry: None
Kymatika Sounds has released Drones and Atmospheres, a free instrument designed for use within Audiomodern’s Soundbox environment.
The instrument targets sustained tonal textures and ambient layers often used as drones and evolving atmospheres. It is intended for projects that require continuous beds, tonal swells, or environmental underscore.
Drones and Atmospheres is built specifically for Soundbox, meaning it is loaded and played inside Audiomodern’s host tool rather than as a standalone product.
Typical applications include background texture in electronic and ambient music, tonal foundations for film and television scoring, atmospheric layers in game audio, and sound design for trailers or installations.
