PitchTech LADSPA and VST Plugins

Ear-catching exotic and experimental audio effects

This is a collection of free LADSPA and VST plugins related to the PitchTech research project. The plugins can be downloaded for free. You can also listen to audio samples transformed by these plugins.

Requirements:

Implemented audio effects:

Note that you will not find any "classical" audio effects in this plugins collection (such as reverberation, echo, phaser, graphic equalizer, distortions, filters, etc).

Notes:

This plugin collection makes use of a modified version of jVSTwRapper 0.9f (a wrapper to write LADPSA/VST plugins in Java). Here you can download the sources of the modified version. The audio effects themselves are written 100% in Java. Source code is not available.

Release notes, 0.9.7

This project is not longer actively developped. You should not expect new plugins in the near future.

Version 0.9.7 is, after 7 years (!), only a minimal maintenance update, so that users can continue to use the plugins on newer systems:
