I made a plugin called Sotto Spindown by Sottovoce DSP that you can get for free. It’s a vinyl spindown effects plugin that allows you to control the exact spindown intensity over time using a curve-based interface. The forum won’t let me post a link to it unfortunately.

Whoops, got that one confused with the other eerily similar one you had put up for $25. My apologies if you saw my previous confused comment.
How does this differ from normal pitch shifting? I’d love to check it out
Can’t post links because you’re new. Stops people from joining to advertise and then leaving.
Doesn’t KiloHearts have a tape stopper effect? It’s the same thing but a different design.

Only found this one recently. Free windows and mac courtesy of Behringer
Vintage Synth - some great old skool sounds and all round synth for free. Grab it.

I’m sure everyone already knows about this and / or it has already been posted about, but YSFX is some good shit.
Also, this UI is fucking hilarious
Valhalla Supermassive is also another good free one I believe
I BEG OF YOU if you make IDM, please get Cardinal Synth/FX by distrohq.
Cardinal is an open-source version of VCV Rack, and is superior in its ability to work withing a daw and act as an FX Rack, though it has less modules than the free version of VCV. (it still has ~1000 modules though, don’t worry!)
It has a difficult learning curve, but it is one of the most powerful tools in my arsenal. I sincerely believe that with enough patience and knowledge of the modules, you can craft near any sound you hear in your head. It’s not just a complex way to create oscillators and synths, its ability to take audio input makes it a really versatile multifx and fx chain tool. I sincerely use this almost every session I make.
I could deadass waste hours upon hours on this one plugin alone, and i have.
ngl, its hella glitchy, especially from module to module, (im looking at you, biset cable visualizer) but if youre constantly hitting the cmd+s and just restart it, the problem usually subsides.
(ps there is also a web browser version but it eats up your browser memory and crashes pretty much every low end computer once you get past ~5 modules.)

Cardinal and PlugData are probably some of the best forked projects out there. I think both have made a few visits to this thread, but they’re a bit buried now and always deserve another mention.
Always glad to see someone else into modular around here, too!

If you can put up with some email spam for the next few weeks, free soundtoys plugins. I have effect rack, so I have all this already. But it’s good stuff, and free.

Not sure if this is time limited, but there are some great free perc generators here. Also a few interesting delay effects. Very IDM.

Physical modeling synth for free - but it might turn into a commercial plugin. This version will nuke itself soonish and then you have to delete it and download the v.1.0 - or buy it if it goes commercial. It’s pretty cool though from a (very) quick test. Shout out to the German magzine Beat for leading me to it.
I got Amalgame from them years ago - def would recommend to get their stuff now for free!
Holy shit. This is pretty much exactly the thing I’ve been looking for. 
Damn. After using this thing for a few hours, it really feels like the ‘practical’ / everyman’s version of Multiphonics CV-3. You get the same type of sounds that you would out of their shit (AAS also did some of the more physically-modeled filters and instruments in Ableton Live, IIRC) but it’s in a more compact little package.
I mean, CV3 is fun, but this has the spirit of Vital behind it for sure.
