Hyperdrive

Linda Audio releases Hyperdrive - versatile saturation effect with advanced filtering and modulation features. It can add warm tube saturation to your drums or vocals, it can add some nice distortion to your bass guitar or add some nice auto-wah before guitar amp with integrated envelope follower, or you can turn it into screaming modulated synth filter.


The core of Hyperdrive are three distortion models - one diode and two tubes. You can adjust its drive and bias and engage additional gain boost. Distortion goes from really subtle saturation to rich screaming distortion especially with the Tube 2 selected. You can adjust input signal gain, output gain and mix of dry and wet signal.

In the center of the plugin interface there are three filters - hi pass, low pass and peak filter. Each with adjustable frequency and resonance, peak filter has also peak gain (can boost or take off selected frequencies). Each filter can be engaged before or after distortion stage by the pre/post switch.

On the left side of the plugin interface there is envelope follower with adjustable attack and release times and sensitivity, while on the right side is LFO. LFO can be synchronized with host tempo or free and you can select from four shapes - sinus, square, saw or reverse saw. Speed of the free LFO can also be modulated by envelope follower.

Both envelope follower and LFO can modulate filter frequencies, peak filter gain and distortion drive. This can really bring things to life.

Hyperdrive also provides undo, redo, A/B and 20 presets.

Stargazer


  Linda Audio releases Stargazer - hybrid delay/reverb with shimmer grain generator. The unique effect that can transform any sound to the ethereal shimmering soundscape, string-like or organ-like ensemble (like other shimmer reverbs) but its capabilities are wider. Stargazer is fantastic tool for any ambient music, but it is great also for many other genres and use cases. It works great with guitars as well as with synths or it can be used for some unique sfx design.


 Stargazer is a bit different than traditional shimmer reverb design. It is composed of network of delays, each of these delay lines generates short pitch-shifted grains of sound and these grains are fed back to the delay network. The delay network is scalable from two to thirteen delay lines. With two or three lines the delay effect is very pronounced and delay taps are clearly noticeable, but with thirteen delays the sound has great density and smoothness. Delays have customizable time (size), predelay and feedback, damping filter control, hi pass filter and stereo width. The sound can be also modulated with chorus effect and there is one other special modulation called Organize - this filters and modulates input in a way that makes sound character more like pipe organ (and it has choice of two different modes). Grain generator is also customizable, you can adjust grain size, feedback of pitch-shifted signal and its mix with normal signal, you can select if pitch will be shifted octave up or down and select if the attack (build-up) of pitched signal will be fast or slower. Of course global dry and wet control is included. Stargazer also provides undo, redo, A/B and 15 presets.

SuperCrunch

 

Linda Audio releases SuperCrunch - great sounding and straight-forward guitar amp plugin. SuperCrunch does not model any real hardware but it is capable of very natural sound of classic tube amplifier. Its range is from sparkling clean sound through gentle and not so gentle crunch tones to wild rock and metal distortion. There are controls for input and output gain, drive gain and bright and there is a choice of two channels - crunch and lead. You can also blend in the clean signal. The very important part of this amp is the 8-band graphic equalizer which is engaged before the tube stages which allows very wide shaping of the distortion character. It can be also gain-compensated. On top of that there is also cabinet simulation which can be switched off and consists of two phase aligned impulse responses between which you can continuously blend. Finally, gate with adjustable threshold is also available.

Sonicrusher for MacOSX

Finaly I managed to build VST2, VST3 and AU plugins for Mac properly and it passes all validations. Here are unsigned plugins for Intel Mac. If anyone needs M1 version, I hope I will be able to build it in few days.


Sonicrusher MACOSX


So I will be happy if you can test it, and if you like it you can support its future development - there is a Donate link

DONATE

I would like to pay apple developer program to be able to properly sign plugins and I have some ideas to make Sonicrusher even better. Also I have prototypes of two other interesting plugins (very good and versatile guitar amp simulator and great Shimmer reverb/delay effect). And I hope there will be more.
