RigSuite (Free/Windows): a full rig and a measurement lab for your neural amp models, cabs, and reverbs

 

Description:

RigSuite 0.9 (free) [PLEASE SEE IMPENDING PATCH NOTES AT BOTTOM]

A rig that listens to itself and gets out of the way. Free Windows tools for neural amp models.

If you have hundreds of .nams and IRs with names that tell you nothing, you know the problem: the tone you want is in there somewhere, but finding it means loading model after model and listening. RigSuite fixes that. It is two free Windows programs that work as a pair. RigScope listens to your neural amp models, cabinets, and reverbs, measures what they actually do, and writes it into the files. RigSculpt plays them and reads that same analysis back, so the rig already knows how a model sounds the moment you load it. One less thing between you and your sound, and free to use even in the music you sell.

RigScope: know the rig

Point it at a folder and it listens to each file, measures it, and says it in plain English. A library you could not read by name, you can now read by sound.

Amp Bench: sorts your neural amp models into six gain-tier archetypes, each split into finer sub-flavors, writes a short overview of each, and finds the ones that sound alike.

Cab Bench: fingerprints cabinet impulse responses and reshapes them without loss, with EQ, a voicing borrowed from another cab, or a blend of mic layers.

Reverb Bench: measures, sculpts, and builds convolution-reverb impulses from scratch.

RigSculpt: play the rig

Not a single-model player. It is a full rig built around neural amp models, running two independent amp-and-cab paths, mono or true stereo with one-click balancing, each with its own input calibration, EQ, and pan.

In front, a pickup-voicing model and a tuner. After the amp, an eight-band output EQ and a Character tone control.

A full pedalboard on board: a three-voice drive, a four-voice compressor, a chorus, a vibe, five delay modes, and six reverbs (five original engines plus convolution).

Analysis-aware: it reads what RigScope wrote into your files to match one amp's response to another, voice its effects to the rig, and lay your library out by how the models actually sound.

How they work together

RigScope writes its measurements straight into your .nam and .wav files. RigSculpt reads them back, so nothing is locked away in a database. The knowledge travels with the files, and any tool that can read them, a language model included, can pick it up. Measure once, and the library stays navigable everywhere.

What is in the box (all free)

RigSculpt (VST3 plugin) and RigScope (desktop app), for Windows.

Original neural amp models, cabinet impulses, and reverb IRs, recorded and measured here at the bench.

The full field guide, with the whole suite documented in detail.

Why it is free:

I want to be transparent that I used modern development tools, including AI, to handle a lot of the demanding engineering work that would otherwise require a much larger team and a longer chain of handoffs. This still cost me money. I also still spent hundreds of hours on it, and every design, musical, and technical decision here is mine -- these tools just let me keep those decisions closely connected and keep refining each part until it reaches the sound and experience I have in mind. I understand AI use is a potentially sensitive issue, so I'll say it plainly: anything I build this way will always be free, and scoped to be a tool for public benefit.

RigSuite stands on the Neural Amp Modeler ecosystem, the open project created by Steve Atkinson, and giving these away is a way of paying that forward. The tools got built because sorting a big library by ear is slow, tedious work, and once they were good enough to fix that, giving them away was simpler than selling them. No account, nothing held back for a paid tier. Support here on Ko-fi is welcome, never required.

Requirements

Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit.

A VST3 host (any DAW) for RigSculpt. RigScope runs on its own.

Works with your existing .nam models and cabinet impulses, and the factory content is bundled.

A note on the Windows warning

When you run the installer, Windows may say the app is from an unknown publisher, or SmartScreen may show "Windows protected your PC." That is expected, and it is not a virus warning. It only means the software is not code-signed. Code signing requires paying for a developer certificate every year so Windows trusts the publisher by name, and I do not pay for one. This is freeware I built to give back to a community I benefited from, not something I am trying to profit from, so an annual fee for a certificate does not make sense here. To continue, click "More info" and then "Run anyway." The full guide walks through it, and everything else about the suite, at conversantsoundworks.com/#rigsuite.

Want more of my own tones? The premium .nam packs on my Ko-fi are expanded, more flexible sets of my own amps, each embedded with RigScope analysis so they drop straight into RigSculpt. The free Artificer Pack sampler is a taste of all of them.

Liability, refunds, and support

RigSuite is provided free and as is, with no warranty of any kind. You use it at your own risk, and I am not responsible for any loss or damage that results from using it. Because it is free, there is nothing to refund. I posted these meaning them to be free. If you find them useful and want to give back, support on Ko-fi is genuinely appreciated but never expected, and any support is a voluntary gift rather than a purchase, so it is non-refundable.

Support the foundation

None of this would exist without Steve Atkinson's Neural Amp Modeler, shared openly with the community. If RigSuite is useful to you, please consider supporting Steve as well. His work is the ground everything here stands on: ko-fi.com/stevenatkinson.

Temecula DSP MDV-II & MCV-I

 

The studio workhorse that defined affordable digital effects × 2 and The bedroom producer's secret weapon

MDV-II plugin interface

MCV-I plugin interfaceINCLUDED WITH MDV-II

One Two Chips. 100 Programs. Unlimited Character.

There are two types of producers: those who think this reverb sounds "too colored," and those who refuse to mix a track without it. We modeled this cult-classic style because sometimes, perfection is boring. You use it when you want your synth to float in space, your guitars to smear into a lush nostalgic wash, and your mix to have a sound that's unmistakably its own.

MCV-I & MDV-II are FREE!

(Don't let "free" fool you — these are two of my favorite effects. Because they're so easy to use, and Keith Barr's algorithms sound incredible!)

Release Notes

I played an acoustic guitar to it and then it's basically an Alesis Midiverb II, it's the reverse reverb program. If I ever had a secret weapon it's the Alesis.

- Kevin Shields, My Bloody Valentine (Tape Op)

And if you like two engines, try four. Meet the DEEP/4— our four-engine multi-FX plugin.

Hear the Character

Each source includes a dry (unprocessed) sample followed by various programs from the MDV-II across reverb, gate, reverse, flange, chorus, delay, and multi-tap effects.

MDV-II Features

Seven Categories of Classic Effects

All 100 factory programs are included, organized into seven categories that cover every effect type the original hardware offered.

Category Programs Description

Reverb 01–29 Small, medium, and large rooms from bright to dark, plus extra-long ambient decays

Gate 30–39 Slow and fast gated reverbs for punchy drums and percussive sources

Reverse 40–49 Reverse reverbs and regenerated reverse effects for atmospheric swells

Flange 50–59 Triggered flanges and stereo panning flanges with triangle-wave LFOs

Chorus 60–69 Light to deep chorus with sine-wave modulation for thickening and shimmer

Delay 70–89 Fixed delays from 35ms to 460ms, multi-tap, and regenerated echo up to 4 seconds

EFX 90–99 Stereo generation, thickening, multi-tap ambience, and frozen flange

Dual DASP-16 Engine

The MDV-II uses two DASP-16-inspired processing engines running in series. Unit A feeds into Unit B, so you can stack a reverse reverb into a chorus, run a gated verb into a delay, or chain any two of the 100 programs together. Each unit has independent program selection, mix, and bypass controls.

Pan-Spread Stereo

Each unit has its own pan control. With both pans centered, the signal runs as a pure series chain — you hear the combined result of A into B. Spread the pans apart and the two stages separate in the stereo field, letting you place each effect independently. It's a smooth crossfade from stacked mono to wide stereo.

Faithful DASP-16 Emulation

The heart of the MidiVerb II is the custom DASP-16 (Digital Audio Signal Processor) chip designed by Keith Barr. The MDV-II models the signal flow, tone, and bandwidth-limited character associated with this style of processor, including the warm, compact sound of its 31,250 Hz internal sample-rate behavior.

Vintage Mode

Toggle vintage mode with the fuse icon in the toolbar to drop the internal engine from 44.1 kHz down to the original hardware's native 31,250 Hz sample rate. This lowers the Nyquist ceiling to ~15.6 kHz and stretches reverb tails and delay times to match the original unit, reproducing its characteristic darker, softer tone.

Intuitive Controls

Input Level, Mix, Pan, and Output Level knobs give you precise control over signal flow. A/B buttons switch between the two engines, each with its own program, mix, and pan settings. A per-unit bypass button lets you disable either engine independently. The two-digit numeric keypad, arrow buttons, and drag-to-scroll LED display make program selection fast and familiar. All parameters are fully automatable in your DAW.

United Plugins launches TrapTune Core and expands UnitedFree Bundle

 

United Plugins has announced the release of a lightweight version of its highly acclaimed automatic vocal tuner, TrapTune.

Simultaneously expanding its popular UnitedFree Bundle, United Plugins continues its mission to provide independent creators and bedroom producers with professional tools completely free of charge.

While the flagship TrapTune is celebrated as an all-in-one auto-tuning powerhouse, TrapTune Core focuses strictly on the essentials. It delivers the exact same elite Tune-In engine as its big brother, optimized to maintain a lightweight footprint with near-zero latency—making it perfect for tracking vocals live or managing large project sessions without straining the CPU.

To achieve this streamlined workflow, the core version focuses purely on pitch manipulation and omits the comprehensive modulation and spatial modules found in the premium version:

    No Second Voice / Doubler: The automated unison harmony and stereo widening engine has been removed.
    No Distortion: The custom vocal saturation and overdrive section is excluded.
    No Reverb & Delay: Space and time eff ects are completely omitted, allowing producers to route the tuned signal to their own external processors.

What remains is full, uncompromized access to natural pitch correction, aggressive hard-tuning (for the classic artificial vocal effect), formant shifting, voice transposing, and precise key/scale selection.

Existing customers may already have an ad-free experience waiting for them. Users who already own the premium UnitedFree Bundle license will find the ad-free version of TrapTune Core automatically credited to their accounts. Additionally, those who own the full version of TrapTune can install and use TrapTune Core directly, as the full license automatically unlocks the Core version and removes the advertisements.

TrapTune Core is available for macOS and Windows (VST/VST3, AU and AAX) and can be downloaded directly via the United Plugins Manager application.

The plugin is free to use with ads. Users who prefer to remove the advertisement banner can purchase an ad-removing license, which is available for an introductory launch price of just €7 EUR (regular €19 EUR).

FREE: Dagon resonance suppressor effect plugin by Mercurial Tones

 

Mercurial Tones Dagon
Mercurial Tones has introduced a new audio plugin which is designed to delivers smart resonance control and volume suppression.

Dagon pulls the painful parts down without flattening the track. Resonances, harsh notes, and runaway level spikes are detected in context, then reduced with transparent spectral control that keeps the musical shape intact.

Dagon features:

Smart suppression – Resonance control that follows the source: Smart mode detects relative spectral prominence instead of chasing raw input level. Quiet tracks and loud tracks get consistent resonance reduction, so you can set the amount musically and keep moving.
Focus – Broad or surgical: Focus controls spectral selectivity without changing the feel of the plugin. Low values are wider and smoother. High values are narrower and more surgical, locking onto the exact resonant areas that need to move.
Five Modes – Choose the kind of control: Dagon is not locked to one style of suppression. Move from classic resonance control to softer perceptual cleanup, volume ducking, or Smart mode when you want the plugin to decide from musical context.
The plugin is free to download for Windows and macOS in VST3 and AU formats.

FREE BandMatrix by Bitter Apple

 

BandMatrix

Released — Version 2.9.0.

Free 6-Band Sidechain Dynamics Plug-in

BandMatrix is a free 6-band sidechain dynamics plug-in with compression, expansion, flexible key routing, Tone Shaper mode, and Inverse sidechain mode. Each band can listen to the internal signal, external sidechain input, or another band, so you can create targeted ducking and inter-band control without compressing the whole mix.

What it does:
Split the signal into multiple bands and apply independent compression per band.
Per band, choose a key source: Internal, External sidechain, Mix, or Other band.
Create precise ducking (e.g., kick → bass low band) and inter-band control (e.g., harsh band → tame presence) without affecting the entire spectrum.
Version 2.9.0 improves compressor release behavior and reduces burst-boundary artifacts while preserving the static curve and transient pass-through.
Tone Shaper mode adds a more flexible way to shape spectral balance inside the band matrix workflow.
The window is now resizable for easier editing on different screen sizes.

FREE: QingX Clean Amp plugin by Saint Mike DSP

 

Saint Mike DSP has recently launched a free amp effect plugin which is designed to provide a clean guitar tone.

Struggling to find a clean guitar tone that actually works in a project can be surprisingly frustrating. Often, raw DI signals end up sounding sterile, thin, or completely washed out and muddy the moment you try to add space effects like delay and reverb.

QingX Clean Amp was designed to solve that frustration immediately. It provides a boutique, crystalline foundation that turns your dry DI track into a sparkling, professional tone perfect for Indie, Midwest Emo, Country, and Post-Punk, at zero cost.

The plugin is available in VST3, AU and AAX formats for Windows and macOS.

Priced $119.95 USD (ex. taxes where applicable), QingX Clean Amp Pro comes with two additional amp heads, three extra cabinet modes and a User IR Loader, more fx, pro-quality oversampling, and more.

atkAudio atkDucker

 

atkDucker

Key Features:

 (VST3 & AU)

Adjustable lookahead time for pre-ducking (0-5000 ms)

Mid/side (center) ducking mode

High-shelf filter ducking mode with adjustable frequency

Mix sidechain source to output

atkDucker is a audio ducker plugin designed for reducing background audio materials when a priority source such as speech is present in the sidechain input. It is useful for ducking audio content like music or game audio under commentary & dialogue, voice-over and announcements in live and post-production workflows. Mid/side mode allows attenuation to focus on the center image while preserving stereo width, and filter mode enables high-frequency ducking with adjustable frequency.

Parameters

Main

Threshold: Level at which sidechain signal triggers ducking.

Amount: Controls how much main signal is reduced when ducking is active.

Attack: Time for ducker to reach full attenuation after sidechain exceeds threshold.

Hold: Time to maintain ducking after sidechain drops below threshold.

Release: Time for ducker to return to unity gain after hold period.

Mid/Side Mode

Mid/Side (Center) Mode: Ducks only center (mono) content.

M/S (Center) Link: Controls how much side channels follow center ducking.

Options

Lookahead: Pre-ducking delay time in milliseconds (0-5000 ms, default 0). Value 0 disables lookahead. Causes matching latency.

Filter Mode: Enables high-frequency ducking.

Filter Frequency: Sets the high-shelf frequency for ducking.

Linear Time Constants: Uses linear attack and release curves instead of exponential.

Release Time 10x: Multiplies release time by 10 for longer release times.

Levels

Main Input Level: Adjusts level of main input signal.

Mix Sidechain to Output: Option to blend sidechain signal into main output.

Usage

Insert atkDucker audio plugin to ducking target track (e.g. music, game audio)

Route key source (e.g. voice, dialogue) to sidechain input

Adjust Threshold so ducking triggers when voice is present

Set Amount to control how much background is reduced

Adjust Attack for smooth or fast ducking response

Set Hold and Release to match pacing of content

Use Mid/Side mode to duck only center while keeping stereo ambience

Notes/Tips

When blending sidechain to main output, usually desirable to mute original sidechain source to avoid doubling.

Too much ducking can sound distracting, so adjust Amount carefully.

Everything Bundle by Purified @Purafied

Everything Bundle by Purified@Purafied Hey! Just wanted to clarify some context around this since a lot of people are understandably getting confused. The “MYSHITWASFUCKED” code was never intended to be a public free Everything Bundle giveaway. It was originally created as a recovery system for verified legacy Purafied customers affected by our original 2025 store migration/download issues after the store completely exploded during the viral Everything Bundle sale. Recently the code started spreading around online without the original context attached, so a lot of people understandably started interpreting it as a secret public exploit/free bundle code. If your original Purafied order was below #120438 and before August 27, 2025, you should normally qualify for the recovery process, regardless of what you originally bought, even if it was just the free Liquid Death Snare plugin. If you’re a qualifying legacy customer and have issues, email support with your original order number + checkout email and we’ll help get you sorted.

FREE: IRDX Studio IR loader plugin by Bogren Digital

 

Bogren IRDX Studio

Bogren Digital has introduced a free IR loader plugin featuring multi-slot blending, per-slot EQ and phase controls, and library management tools designed for working through large IR collections.

IRDX Studio supports blending up to 5 IR slots via a graphical mixer. Each slot carries individual 5-band EQ, resonance, and phase adjustment. Any blended IR combination can be exported as a single .wav file, with hardware-specific presets for popular modelers included.

An optional $49 USD upgrade activates the company’s proprietary IRDX Technology speaker emulation. The company describes it as modeling the dynamic response of a physical speaker cabinet, where individual notes and chords react differently rather than producing a consistent, static tone.

IRDX technology, developed by producer Jens Bogren, uses advanced machine learning methods to reconstruct the difference between a real cab and an impulse response. The end result is a guitar amp sim that reacts like a real amp, easily fits in a mix without sounding stale, and feels great when playing through.

The upgrade can be trialed for 7 days from within the plugin before purchase.

IRDX Studio for Windows and Mac (VST3, AU and AAX) is available now as a free download at Plugin Boutique and from the Bogren Digital store.
