Pushtec 5+1A is a 6-band mid-range and program EQ, it contains a decent amount of presets and PDF manual in multiple languages. A Winamp plugin version is also included. The algorithm behind the stunning user interface is based on a circuit schematic of one (well, two to be exact) of the most sought-after vintage analog EQs. We combined a superb program EQ with a rare midrange EQ to end up with a very flexible all-around tool for your mixing and mastering sessions.

Paulstretch

This is a program for stretching the audio. It is suitable only for extreme sound stretching of the audio (like 50x) and for applying special effects by "spectral smoothing" the sounds. It can transform any sound/music to a texture. The program is Open-Source and it's released under the version 2 of the General Public License. You can download the source code for Linux or the Windows binaries.

Please note that this is suitable only for extreme time stretching (e.g. if have a melody of 3 minutes and you want to listen it in 3 hours). If you want "less extreme" time stretching, you can use a program which contains the SoundTouch library.

de la Mancha TRUC live multieffect

truc is a multi-effect VST plug-in, with 4 banks of effects controlled by the movement of 2 pucks. The top puck controls the level of each effect bank, the bottom puck modulates any 4 of 13 parameters within the effect banks. This allows continuous morphing of the sound by moving the pucks to vary the impact of each effect bank.
As well as manually controlling each puck (either by mouse or midi controller) you can lock the pucks together and/or set them to move automatically, either randomly or by a configurable LFO, all in sync with your project tempo.

AngstroLooper

AngstroLooper is old and not maintained by me any more, because time is short! If it works for you, that's great, if not ... look around for other alternatives. Sorry !

Angstrolooper is really a rediculously long delay, it partly emulates an old style tape loop system – but rather than trying to model something that it isn't, AngstroLooper is designed to be easy to use tool on a laptop while playing live.

Now with upgraded sound, tighter timing and better midi controller assignment for non standard hosts such as Cubase ;-p

M4GIQ is a 4-band multi-fx plugin that lets you apply Gain, Panning, and Delay to each frequency band. This is extremely useful for spreading frequencies across the stereo image, making it easier for the sound to cut through. You can shape the sound further with the Gain controls and High-pass/Low-pass filters. Delay can also be added to make an interesting effect, or to emphasize the spreading of frequencies.
