Developer Tom Trnk has released version 0.8.0 of Deimos, a free synthesizer plugin for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Deimos has been available since October 2025, so it may not be new to everyone, but it flew under my radar until now (thanks to BPB reader svrc for mentioning it in our community). The latest update is a good reason to take a closer look. A quick note on the name: the plugin was originally called Luna, but the developer received feedback pointing out the obvious naming conflict with the Luna DAW, and renamed it Deimos. If you tried an earlier…

Electronik Sound Lab has released Voltus FX, a free multi-effect plugin for Windows that combines a BBD-style delay, dual-stage saturation, a six-waveform LFO, and a state variable filter in a single plugin. We covered several Electronik Sound Lab plugins in the past, all of which were sample-based instruments made with Maize Sampler (most recently Arctic Dreams Lite). As far as I know, this is their first effect plugin. And it’s quite feature-packed, with a fun combination of delay, saturation, and modulation. The saturation section has two circuit models. The Tube mode is based on an asymmetric triode topology, clipping positive…

Dusk Audio has released DuskVerb, a free algorithmic reverb currently in pre-release, available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Before we check out DuskVerb in more detail, I have to briefly share my two cents on the topic of vibe-coded plugins. The surge in free plugins over the past several months has been hard to miss. We never covered this many new freebies in January or February before. And, obviously, it’s not hard to guess that a lot of it comes down to AI-assisted development (aka vibe coding). And that seems bad, right? But vibe coding covers a wide spectrum. It…

And now for something completely different, as Abbey Road Studios and Charles Jeffrey Loverboy release The Big Nessie, a free multi-instrument library for Kontakt Player. It’s unusual to begin any post with the title of a 1970s Monty Python classic, but this seems as good a time as any. The Big Nessie is a free instrument for Kontakt Player, and a coming together of two worlds: music and fashion. I’m no sartorial savant, but I understand that music, fashion, art, film, etc., all exist under the umbrella of the arts. While each form represents popular culture in its own way,…
