Desert Resonator Free Plug-in [VST3/AU]

    Desert Resonator is a generator plug-in composed of a wavetable synthesizer, a physical modeling stage, an analog modeling low-pass filter, and a flanger. 

    It can provide a diverse range of sounds, allowing you to create a palette of completely different tones.

    I developed the signal processing for each stage entirely from scratch to achieve a distinctive sound and, of course, to learn more about it. This is a project for my portfolio of DSP engineer.

    If you are more interested in the signal processing behind the plug-in, I have written a post discussing it in detail. It's developed using the JUCE framework in C++.

    As this is my first released plug-in, I would greatly appreciate your assistance in reporting any issues. Your feedback is valuable.

    I recommend reading the user's manual and the tips for using it.

    This plugin can generate a wide range of sounds, so feel free to explore the presets to discover its capabilities. In the future, I plan to upload some examples of sound design using this plugin.

      Hello, remember that it is a midi generator, not fx. Also, it is not available at the moment if you are using an arm architecture.

      Not sure if it'll run in windows 7 though, which I use (my PC is 16 years old and I absolutely despise windows 10/11 too).

      Hello. Are you using an ARM architecture, like the M1 chip?

      The plugin was tested successfully on that version of Catalina, so it could be a bug with the DAW. Remember to load it in the instrument / MIDI section, not in the FX.

      It seems to be a problem with GarageBand...
      Do you have the possibility to test it in another DAW? Anyway ,I'll take it into account for a future update.. Thanks!

      Hola, cuando ingreses al link de descarga de Google Drive te va a decir que no se puede analizar porque es muy grande el archivo. Selecciona descargar de todas formas.
