July 9, 2004: Hurrah. One new pluggo today, more coming soon. Check back in a couple of weeks as I'm really busy at the moment. This one is called "Re-Noiser", which i hope doesn't infringe on any copyrights... I've got 99 problems and I'm not particularly gunning for any round numbers. The spectral effects that have been causing me grief are still not running, so don't hold your breath on those please. And again, no OSX versions for the forseeable future. These are OS 9 only.

These Pluggos (for Mac OS9 only!) are intended for those of you who enjoy cheesy digital effects. They are not meant to look fancy or be spectacular-sounding. They may, however, be fun to play with. Please let me know if you like them. Please let me know if you don't like them. But especially the former. You can reach me here.

Important: All plugins are freeware unless otherwise noted in the Readme file. Use them at your own risk.

Recordor - this is a really simple & stupid recorder. Stick it last in your VST-FX chain to record all your knob fiddling.
Mungrainer - this chops the input into little tiny bits and moves them around in various fun ways. Good for adding some dirt to clean keyboards, or cutting vocals into oblivion. Based on the munger~ object from Dan Trueman & R. Luke DuBois' set of objects called PeRColate, which can be found here. NOTE: you MUST install the PeRColate objects for this plugin to work!
Delay-O-Rama - Really simple plugin - two short delay lines that are time-modulatable. Fun for making drony, pitched drum sounds or turning everything all wiggly. Check out the presets and see what I mean.
Origamist - distortion plugin with two modes: reflection and wraparound. There's also a preamp and lowpass filter inside this CPU-friendly (and dare I say attractive?) little box.
Phad - phase modulator that ranges from subtle stereo to gurgling and screaming.
Guadalupe - instant loopy-type tool. Can achieve some truly wacky effects.
Combernation - someone asked me about a comb filter-type effect. This isn't exactly what you wanted but it's kind of fun.
Re-Noiser (NEW July 9/04)- adds noise to your audio - variable-rate random or white - and contains a filter section. Read the Readme.

MAX/MSP/Pluggo:
PostSomnia - some pluggo plugins with nice GUIs.
greg davis - a whole bunch of pluggo plugins - currently being updated for X.
the lone roger - more free pluggos, including a nice reverb.
unauthorized max - loads of MAX/MSP objects. Hasn't been updated in a while though.
snot wong's patches - haven't tried these yet but looks like a bunch of potentially useful MAX/MSP patches.
cycling '74 - home of MAX/MSP and Pluggo. Check here for the free runtime version of Pluggo.
laut & leise - some very slick-looking pluggos, as well as utility programs for OS9. You may also want to check out "The List of VST Plug-Ins" run by the same person.

Other Software & Plugins (VST etc.):
DestroyFX - if you haven't yet, go.
Tom Erbe's list of Freeware - links to a bunch of freeware; some are kind of crap, others are kind of incredible. Updates are infrequent, if ever.

Somewhat related links that I find fascinating:
Music And Computers - an in-progress web text that deals with a lot of DSP theory.
em411 - electronic music forums & files. Some interesting discussions and lots of patches for Reaktor etc. - mostly PC but some Mac users around.
