The VST Effects topic

[LPChip]

Before you do anything, note this: This topic is only about VST Effects. There is a seperate topic about VST Instruments!

Since MODPlug Tracker is able to use VST effects, people get more into using them. There are sites like kvraudio.com that is dedicated to providing free vst's, as its for payed ones too.

The question is: Have you played with an interesting VST latelly and want to tell everyone about? Then this is the topic to do so.

Here's a little template you can copy to use for your reply.

Name of VST: Digilogue Blue Paramater EQ
This VST does: Parametric Equalizer
Quality: Good allrounder, Amazing where suited. Low CPU usage.
License of this VST (and costs): contribute-ware
Link to VST or site: http://www.digilogue.de/

The Blue-line package has no limitations, but they ask for you to send $35 if you end up using them.
Whilst the package has many VST's, Im focusing on the Equalizer for now.

Lovely unique character! The bass is a very mellow, whilst the treble is crisp. It has a lot of presence and is very good at both increasing and reducing frequencies. It has 4 bands and if it had just one more, Id be a lot happier. Nevertheless, amongst many far more expensive VSTs, this one has a permanent place in my collection.
