Lil' Doc is a compressor effect based on the muscular, vinyl simulator in an early 00s workhorse sampler. It’s a powerful effect that’s found a cult following among lo-fi heads, and rightly so! We first implemented this compression algorithm for our paid plug-in Doctor Vibe, and the sound was so unique, we thought it would be a great first entry in our free plug-in series. Enjoy! Features: - Completely free, no unlock required! - Four controls: - Detroit-style mix slammer - Warm vinyl noise and crackle - Drive to clip the converters! - Four sample grades to choose - Output gain - One-click loudness matching - Light or dark color scheme. Lil' Doc is an AUv3 effect plug-in. For best experience, load the plug-in on an effects slot in a compatible host. You can also preview the effect in the standalone with our new mini-player.

A classic algorithmic reverb effect based on the Freeverb algorithm by Jezar at Dreampoint. A Freeverb-style Schroeder/Moorer reverb based on the classic 8-comb + 4-allpass topology, with simplified controls and no stereo spread. This reverb creates lush, spacious ambience through a network of comb and allpass filters. Freeverb is widely used in electronic music production, ambient music, and sound design to add depth, space, and atmosphere to audio sources. The algorithm provides a smooth, musical reverb tail that works well on everything from vocals to synthesizers. This reverb only functions in mono and provides no stereo imaging, and the user can expect the same behavior as a classic Freeverb implementation otherwise.
