Moonwave FX Parallax
Audio Plugin Deals has launched a promotion on Moonwave FX’s dual-engine sonic morphing effect plugin, offering Parallax as a free download for the next few days.
Parallax is a dual-engine multi-effect designed to sculpt sound between precision and abstraction. The Reality Engine tightens transients and harmonics for punch, while the Dream Engine dissolves audio into evolving textures and spatial depth.
A single Morph control lets you drift seamlessly between these two worlds, creating organic movement without complex routing. Smart parameter linking ensures every adjustment stays musical and balanced.
Available for Windows and macOS (VST3/AU), Parallax is free until February 26th, 2026.
Free compressor with high-res dynamic visualiser and VCA/Optical modes.
Key Features
Flexible compressor controls - Threshold, Ratio (1:1 to 24:1), Attack (20 microseconds to 250 milliseconds), Release (25 milliseconds to 5 seconds), Knee (0dB to 18dB).
Regular/Optical modes - In Regular mode, attack and release curves are linear. In Optical mode, the attack time is variable, and the the release curve has two stages (50% in 1 second, then a slower tail for the remaining 50%).
Detector HPF - Apply a high-pass to the detector/sidechain circuit to shape what the compressor hears.
External sidechain - Sidechain the compressor to an external signal. HPF, LPF and Lookahead will now apply to the external sidechain audio.
Free preset library - 10 free presets to recreate different classic compressors.
GPU graphics - Waveform visualiser leverages GPU for increased performance.
Value typing - Double click to type in values.
Dynamic window resizing - Simply drag from the bottom right corner to resize the plugin.
Minimum requirements - macOS 10.13, Windows 10
Feedforward design - The compressor operates in a feedforward design with peak detection. This emulates the characteristics of VCA compressors, known for their versatility.
Delta listen - Hear exactly what the plugin is doing by listening to the delta (aka difference) between the dry and wet signal.
Waveform visualiser - Before/after waveform, gain reduction lines and threshold line. Pause function to freeze waveform. Zoom in/out. Enable/disbale bar and beat lines.
Built-in presets manager - Navigate included presets and save your own presets within the plugin.
Value windows - Exact values of each dial shown on hover.
Low CPU load - Optimized for efficient CPU usage, allowing a large number of instances. CPU load is lower than comparable compressors when optional modules are bypassed.
No license or activation required - Simply download and run the installer
