Welcome back to our weekly round-up of excellent plug-ins you can have for free! This week, we’ve got the AdHd Leveling Tool, DLYM Delay Modulator and Temper Phase Distortion at your disposal! Here’s what they’re about:

AdHd Leveling Tool

Audiotools’ AdHd Leveling Tool is a virtual analogue tube levelling amplifier inspired by “the legends” — probably UREI or Fairchild gear. It’s supposedly ideal for vocals, imparting character onto mixes and taming peaks. It has a set of standard controls — Attack, Release, Ratio, a Dry/Wet mix knob, and a Gain control. There’s a also a meter, switchable between gain reduction and output volume. Looks like a great compressor & limiter!

AdHd is available in VST and AU formats for 32- and 64-bit Windows and Mac systems.

DLYM Delay Modulator

Developer Imaginando released a free effects plug-in which combines phaser, flanger, and chorus. There are 2 processing modes — Analog Emulation and Dimension style. Modulation is achievable via 6 time-sync’d waveforms — Sine, Square, Saw, Triangle, Sample & Hold, Filtered Sample & Hold. Stereo spread is adjustable and there’s a crossover/cutoff control for the effect’s frequency range. There are 20 presets to get you going.

DLYM is available in VST and AU formats for Windows and Mac.

Temper Phase Distortion

Previously released at USD 10, the phase distortion plug-in Temper by Creative Intent has gone free. The source code has been opened up as well! Temper has Drive, Curve, and Saturation controls as well as a resonant low-pass filter and real-time spectrum display. The plug-in has an interesting sound — outright digital distortion that’s still quite pleasant for the ear.

Temper is available for 32 & 64-bit Windows and MacOS systems in VST and AU formats.
