Stargazer free delay & reverb effect plugin by Linda Audio

Linda Audio has launched its latest free audio plugin for Windows. A hybrid delay/reverb effect with a shimmer grain generator, Stargazer is designed to transform any sound into an ethereal shimmering soundscape, string- or organ-like ensemble.

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.

Stargazer is available to download in VST/VST3 plugin formats for Windows. Donations are appreciated.

Polyverse Music releases Wider 2.0 free stereo widener + Spring Sale launched

 

Polyverse Music has announced the release of an updated version of its popular stereo widening plugin.

Wider 2.0 includes a low end bypass function, allowing users to exclude the low frequencies from the stereo widening effect, along with GUI scaling settings, mono and bypass buttons, improved stability and minor bug fixes.

Wider gives users the ability to expand the stereo image of any signal to an awe-inspiring amount of width. What makes Wider unique is that it is completely “mono-compatible”, meaning that any signal that has been widened will always remain in phase with itself, even if summed to mono.

Wider can be used to increase the stereo image of any signal up to 200% of full stereo for an extra wide, exaggerated effect.

“Wider has always been one of our most popular plugins, and we’re excited to release this new version with even more control and flexibility for our users,” said Assaf Dar Sagol, CEO and founder of Polyverse Music. “The bypass low end function is a game-changer for anyone looking to enhance the stereo image of their sound without losing control of the low end.”

Wider is free to download in VST/VST3, AU, and AAX formats for Windows and Mac.

In addition to the release of Wider 2, Polyverse Music is also announcing the launch of its annual spring sale.

From April 4 to April 18, 2023, customers can enjoy up to 33% off on several popular plugins at the Polyverse store and at distributor Plugin Boutique.
