Samplebrain : A custom sample mashing app designed by Aphex Twin.
(EDIT: Apoliogiesā¦just noticed this was posted up elsewhere.)
https://thentrythis.org/projects/samplebrain/ - Youāll find the link to the Gitlab page and can download it from there. Itās a standaloneā¦not a VSTā¦ program that runs on both Windows, Mac and Linux.
āSamplebrain] chops samples up into a ābrainā of interconnected small sections called blocks which are connected into a network by similarity. It processes a target sample, chopping it up into blocks in the same way, and tries to match each block with one in itās brain to play in realtime.ā

TugGlicento is also worth checking out, if you are into making Glitch-style music or need to create your own interesting elements for a project/mix. Itās very similar to the various incarnations of Glitch from Illformed.
Itās offered for freeā¦by entering ā0ā, but the maker suggests a donation of $2 It comes as 64-bit VST3 plugin and works on both Windows and Mac.

Looks cool, may give it a try.
I am partial to Glitch 1, although I do have Glitch 2 (for some reason I prefer the interface, which is more fun to me)

This one might be fun to play around with. No idea how it sounds yet, Iāll report back if/when I get to try it.

Oh thatās just great, after stuff like Midjourney and Stable Diffusion is starting to destroy everything from concept art to environment design, now sound deisgners are next lolā¦
Edit: Well, at least I canāt try it out to see how much better than human sound design it is, first my malware blocker doesnāt like it and then I get a 403 errorā¦

Its a howler for loudness on channel strips - acustica have some great free plugins if you dont already own them.
Have a feeling slate digital will have a freebie coming up for BFā¦and a few others no doubt.

Iād expect Waves, for what thatās worth. I think I have a half dozen things from them on my account but nothing installed. Perhaps this will be the year I finally get L-2. Iāve seen it used very well a few places this year and may need it for my arsenal.

So I just found out about ysfx, which lets you host the native reaper plugins outside of reaper. This is interesting because there are some fantastic free plugins available in reaper.
Host:
Some Plugins:
This covers a wide range of use cases from VA and (I think) additive synths, filters, distortion, multiband, automated FX, and most interesting to me - Reflectosaurus, a node-based reverb/delay effect. Most of these look much better than your average free plugin too.

This set is more focused on analog mixing emulations (compressor, EQ, channel strips). I already have this kind of stuff, so Iām not terribly interested, but this is nice stuff to have if you donāt have something like this.
