Voxengo LF Max Punch version 1.3 update is now available for download. LF Max Punch is a professional audio effect plugin for music and sounds where low-frequency thump and punch are most welcome, and where distortion is applied specifically to bring the bass sound to life.

Version 1.3 update implements the following changes:

• Additional visual look variation settings added.
• The "No Multi-Channel Operation" global switch was added that fixes incompatibility with some non-VST2.3 compliant VST hosts.
• The "Show All Channel Meters" routing switch added.

MeldaProduction has released MUtility, a free plug-in which provides many elementary actions often useful by every engineer as well as more scientific features.

This consists of volume, panorama, phase inversion, stereo swapping, DC blocker, delay in samples and milliseconds, RMS and envelope, a few mathematical functions, expression evaluator and mono-stereo (de)encoder.

Features :

• Up to 8 channels surround processing.
• Easy-to-use user interface. You can easily change all values, fine-tune each control in multiple ways. Easy orientation in a standardized GUI, textual editing and smooth visualization with almost unlimited zooming are standard. • Resizable and stylable GUI.
• MIDI controllers with MIDI learn - you can map any parameter to any MIDI controller or MIDI keyboard and control it realtime or record and automate it.
• Optimized for SSE and SSE2 processors.
• Global preset management - using a title button you can save your settings (which are shared on the computer) so you can easily access these in other songs.
• Fully automatable.


The free MUtility plug-in is available now for Mac and PC in VST and AU formats.

Togu Audio Line has released TAL-NoiseMaker which is an improved version of TAL-Elek7ro.

TAL-NoiseMaker has a completely new synth engine and a lot of improvements in sound and usability. The synth also includes a small effect section with a reverb, chorus and a simple bit-crusher effect.

A display shows the knob and slider values. This allows more control over the synth. A ring-modulator and a syncable triangle are also part of this synth. TAL-NoiseMaker includes new filter types as the self resonating 6dB low pass and a notch filter. Its improved amplitude ADSR is very suitable for slow pads as for really fast envelopes.

Free 32- and 64-bit versions are available for Windows and Mac OS X in VST and AU instrument plug-in formats.
