ddmf - free equalizer plugins for Windows and Mac. Some of the best free EQs can be found on this site. They may not come with all the bells and whistles of the payware plugins but their sonic qualities are undisputed.
ColourEQ
Not just another EQ: with its custom-made 4th order IIR filter, ColourEQ sounds unlike any other EQ you have ever come across. It comes with five bands of \”super parametric\” peaking filters, which means that there is one more parameter in addition to the traditional gain/width/frequency set that can influence the curve shape. 32/64 bit.
IIEQ
The IIEQ is a free, fully parametric 10-band equalizer with its own, characteristic sound and low CPU consumption. The 1st and the 10th band are low and high shelf filters, respectively; all other bands are peak filters. Individual bands can be switched on and off (click on the small green buttons!).
It is available for Windows (32/64 bit) and Mac (32 bit). Alternative GUIs are available for Windows 32bit only.
SmallEQ
Sick and tired of huge GUIs taking up all screen space? Want an EQ that easily fits in your pocket but sounds just like the big guys? Then it’s time to meet SmallEQ! The world’s smallest 10-band EQ, sporting eight fully parametric bands plus one low- and one high-shelf filter on exactly 9135 square pixels. Controls from left to right: band choice, gain, frequency, width and overall gain.

The latest version of our powerful, single-screen music recording app is the largest upgrade we've ever offered. While maintaining the simplicity and immediacy of earlier versions, T7 provides a more dynamic interface with new features designed to save time and screen space. Innovative editing tools provide new ways to create, organize and manipulate audio, MIDI and step clips while new plugin search and automation features boost creativity and speed work flow.
Tracktion was designed to be as transparent and intuitive to the user as possible. Track object controls and parameters are context-sensitive; effects, MIDI instruments and other software objects can be added to tracks or even applied directly to individual audio and MIDI clips using a drag-and-drop system of filters. Complex chains of filters can be created, stored and recalled for later use as rack effects, which can be thought of as analogous to a saved channel strip setting in a traditional DAW/sequencer.
Tracktion represents a move away from the modal dialog boxes, multiple menus and cluttered windows common to most legacy MIDI sequencers and Digital Audio Workstations, in favour of a streamlined, single-screen approach that presents the user only with the options they need for the task they are currently doing, such as editing audio, adjusting MIDI automation parameters, effects settings, etc. Both also are notable for the use of a more abstract visual style that does not attempt to visually replicate "real world" recording equipment or effects boxes.
Tracktion 7 Introduced in 2002 by Julian Storer, the Tracktion DAW represented a new approach by breaking from the traditional recording studio workflow. It empowered musicians of any caliber to produce multi-track recordings without previous studio or DAW experience and steadily gained a large user base. While many Tracktion breakthroughs are now being adopted by competing applications, T7 elevates the state of the art once again with the most comprehensive upgrade in the platform’s history.
“With T7, we’ve taken the Tracktion paradigm a lot further,” explained Lead Developer, Dave Rowland. “In addition to a great looking, more dynamic user interface, there are a lot of practical improvements designed to boost productivity. However, I’m most excited about the new tools for manipulating clips and plugins. With unique features like these, T7 will take users in new directions.”
One of T7’s creative-oriented introductions, Clip Layer Effects (Pat. Pend.), allows complete control of sound design at the clip level. Another new feature, Multi-Browser Sync, provides the ability to preview many files together, from multiple browsers, in sync with the edit. For plugins (VST and AU), there is a new visual selector to speed the sorting process and new LFO Generators to quickly modulate any plugin parameter. Even the MARKETPLACE interaction has been improved making it easy to shop for new virtual instruments and effects without leaving the T7 app environment.
TS-999 "SubScreamer" is a digital emulation of an overdrive pedal for guitar. It has been developed to accurately model its real hardware counterpart, built for Subhuman guitarists Matteo Buti and Elia Murgia by Ignite Amps in 2010. The TS-999 core circuit is inspired by the most famous green "808" overdrive pedal, with additional features to increase its versatility. It can easily add dirt and bite to clean guitar tones, as well as make the amplifier distortion sound tighter, more focused and more responsive to picking, avoiding low-end muddiness and high-end fizz.
Every single component on the signal path of the real analog circuit has been taken into account and modeled in the best possible way to match the original sound, keeping an eye to CPU performances and real-time playability at the same time. TS-999 is meant to be used as an overdrive pedal for live playing, tracking or mixing inside hosts capable of VST or AU Plug-Ins support.
Main Features:
Dynamic 2N3904 BJT input and output buffers analog modeling.
Dynamic 1N4148 diode clipping circuit analog modeling.
Op-amp saturation analog modeling.
Symmetric / Asymmetric clipping mode.
Normal / Fat bass response mode.
Mono / Stereo processing support.
Switchable Input and Output Buffer modeling to decrease CPU usage.
Selectable oversampling rate (up to 8x).
Variable Input Level control for better response to different pickups.
Double precision (64 bit) floating point mathematical model.
Solcito Musica has updated the SuperSonico Virtual Synth to version 5.1.
What's new:
- This version 5.1 brings a new default preset bank made from a selection of several presets from v5.0 and legacy v3.5. The older rescued presets make Supersonico it sound in a way that complements the character of the newer presets. Some known preset names have been changed to sort them in the new bank.
- Now the MIDI mode selection button appears by default in "Midi On".
- Presets are no longer changed with the keys on the PC keyboard to avoid undesired changes when working with the PC keyboard. Now the presets are changed only by clicking on the buttons of Preset Manager.
Presets and banks made with v5.0 are 100% compatible.
Ignite Amps has released the PTEq-X VST/AU free plug-in. It is a vintage tube program equalizer, combining 3 passive EQs, carefully emulated through advanced filtering and tube simulation algorithms.
It has been developed to have all the characteristics of the original hardware, plus some circuit improvements and additional features to increase its versatility.
Every single component on the signal path of the real analog circuit has been taken into account and modeled in the best possible way to match the original sound, keeping an eye on CPU performance and real-time playability at the same time.
PTEq-X is meant to be used as a studio equalizer for tracking, mixing and mastering inside hosts capable of VST or AU Plug-Ins support.
