Software by Ndc Plugs
Amplitude modulation. Takes 2 stereo inputs and imposes the amplitude envelope of the first one on the second one. Also has a threshold level for the second input, so that when the...
Buffer manipulation plugin. Buffer Synth 2 is a buffer manipulation plugin, designed to do a number of different things with audio buffers . It could be thought of as a cross between GRM...
Lo-fi effect. Buffer Synth Alpha is a pretty lo-fi effect. When you send it a MIDI note, it will play back the contents of its buffer at the note's pitch.
Reinjection effect. Reads in a cycle's-worth of the input signal, then (once the whole cycle's been read in) outputs it again, on top of the current output. Works best with...
Distortion. A simplistic distortion plugin, with two modes. The first mode is a modified threshold-type distortion (although the modification isn't particularly noticeable,...
Delay. Basically a delay set to work with very short delay times, and high feedback. It's most useful (imo) on guitars, as a kind of fake (amp) feedback effect. (sorry...
Additive synth. Simple 5 oscillator (monophonic) additive synth, with a simplistic scope so you can see what kind of waveform you're creating.
Additive synthesis. A crazy instrument which uses spherical harmonics to modulate the vertices of a sphere. These vertices are then used to generate waveforms for a simplistic...
Step sequencer for children. My First Step Sequencer is a simple 16-(or 8-)step sequencer aimed at children. It comes with a shuffle mode and a note randomise button, as well as a...
MIDI filters. A pack of MIDI utility plugins I made to use with Tracktion's Rack Filters (though they'll probably work in most hosts). Uses the Simple Controls library of...
Tempo-sync-able tremolo. Tempo-sync-able tremolo effect. It allows you to choose where in the oscillator's cycle it's reset to on the bar start, and also allows you to use it as an...
Synthesizer. A monophonic synth which attaches a sound (either a sawtooth or a square wave) to a bunch of particles, which move in a 2d space like a fountain. The particles'...
Pattern delay. A pitched (i.e. very short) delay effect, with a pattern sequencer to control it. Not the most useful plugin, but you might find a place for it if you like weird...
Special delay. A fairly simple delay plugin which also has a 'Rhythmic Mode'. Basically this alters the delay time in a sequence using very short delay times, which gives a...
Colour organ. This is a simple opengl plugin based on the 'colour organ' ideas of people like Father Louis Bertrand Castel and A. Wallace Rimington, where musical notes are...
Synth. Simple sine wave synthesizer with 128 note polyphony and an amplitude and a pitch envelope (ADSR).
Waveshaping. A fairly standard waveshaping distortion plugin, made more interesting through the use of feedback to control the shaping. Can get pretty loud and obnoxious. The...
Reverse effect. Reverses the sound for a set amount of time (set according to note length) when the Reverse button is pressed. Probably best in a live environment, hence the...
