This week’s roundup of the best free plug-ins brings you two very different synths and some tasty lo-fi vibes: Pneuma, Wave Manuel, and Vibe Mechanic.

cDVCA is a new kind of VCA based on concepts inspired by Class-D amplification technology. It offers waveshaping, a trackable VCA and a simple filter.
RP-Distort 2 is a mighty successor to the distortion plug-in from virtual instruments and effects developer Rob Papen.

Neutral Labs have found a way to shift parts of a waveform rather than fold them to create an interesting take on modular waveshaping in Meg.
Though simple to use, the Wave multi-effects plug-in is capable of reshaping sounds, tracks and mixes into something pretty much new.
The VCO2 builds on the classic sound of this analogue oscillator by bringing in a sawtooth waveshaper and internal modulation over the shaping and pulse width modulation.

Coming to Kickstarter soon is the impressive-looking Implexus from Majella Audio that takes waveshaping and folding through an analogue signal path of East and West Coast-inspired synthesis.

Brenso brings together complex oscillating ideas of brevity and intensity, of weaving threads, discovering clarity and managing the possibilities in the sonic options. Lovely! Now with video.
Erica Synths announce Pico System III single face-plate modular analogue synthesizer with Voicecard preset management for storing and recalling patches just like the Buchla Music Easel - wow!
VIDEO
Abstract Data were showing off their ADE-40 Shaping VCO with inbuilt voltage controlled waveshaping and a couple of other forthcoming modules including a new feedback looped filter and an updated Logic Boss.

Mindphaser is a complex TZ-PM oscillator that deals with carriers and modulators, routing through waveshapers and Thru-Zero Phase Modulation with brain-melting and mind phasing results.
Building on the phase distortion algorithm from Temper, Tantrum is loaded with two distortion stages. First comes a waveshaping stage with five shapes, second comes a phase modulation distortion.

From new modular makes Livestock Electronics we get a Bang wavetable oscillator, MIR quad VCA, mixer, logic and distortion, and the Felix buffered mult. And this is just the beginning.
