VST Alarm has launched a promotion on a collection of presets for the Vital spectral warping wavetable synthesizer.
Vital Calmness by Vicious Antelope is offered as a free download for the next few weeks.
The Vital Calmness soundbank is all about tranquility, offering 40 soothing pad presets for the Vital synth plugin. Designed around a sine-based wavetable, these presets are very close in terms of sounding and they deliver a calming tone. Perfect for ambient genres, they excel at adding a gentle, serene layer to your track whenever a touch of simplicity and peace is needed.
The soundset is free to download until February 15th, 2026.
Waves Audio has announced the release of its new Curves series effect plugin which is designed to solve mix conflicts automatically.
Curves Resolve is offered for free for two days only.
Curves Resolve provides an intelligent way of solving conflicts between multiple tracks in your mix. It processes one track by listening to another, carving space only when and where there’s a clash.
The result: no masking, no congestion, no mud. A cleaner mix that breathes, letting all your sounds fit together beautifully. And it’s almost impossible to overprocess – more transparent, with more control than any alternative.
Curves Resolve features
Solve mix conflicts – instantly.
Intelligent carving – both dynamic (real time) and steady (learned).
Intelligent ducking – wide (classic) and frequency specific (smart).
Snapshot controls – carving modes optimized for specific instruments.
Sidechain adjustment controls.
Includes Curves Resolve Live – zero latency version.
Available for Windows and Mac (VST3, AU and AAX), Curves Resolve is free through January 20th, 2026.

FX-Mechanics TeAr
FX-Mechanics has announced the release of a beta version of a free and open source polyrhythmic and polyphonic MIDI arpeggiator plugin.
Featuring 4 independent arpeggiator engines, each with its own pattern, subdivision, and MIDI output channel, TeAr is designed to create complex, evolving musical phrases and textures.
At its core, TeAr is scale-aware. You can select a root note and one of many scale types, and the arpeggiators will intelligently conform to that musical context. A “Follow MIDI In” mode allows the scale’s root to be changed dynamically by the notes you play.
Per-arp controls: Each engine has its own On/Off switch, pattern editor, subdivision, and MIDI output channel.
Powerful pattern language: A rich text-based language for defining arpeggio sequences with modifiers for velocity, octave, and pitch.
Comprehensive scale library: A wide selection of musical scales and modes to define the harmonic landscape.
Visual feedback: A real-time scale display highlights the active scale, its root, and the notes currently being played by each arpeggiator, color-coded for clarity.
TeAr for Windows and Linux is free to download in VST/VST3 plugin formats.
Tilr has released a new delay effect plugin for Windows, Mac and Linux.
A dual-delay that is designed to be quick to use, QDelay is based on popular units such as Replika XT by Native Instruments and EchoBoy by Soundtoys.
