Lese Sweep
Sweep by Lese is a sweeping filter – but not the way you’re thinking. Through the magic of mathematics and a bunch of interconnected filters, it makes your sounds feel like they’re rising or falling endlessly. The developer says that it’s based on the same ideas as shepherd tones and risset filters. You can also split the left and right channels and process them separately to create unique stereo effects. Sounds like a great tool for buildups, transitions and any creative sound design application!Sweep is available for macOS (including Apple Silicon) and Windows in VST3 and AU formats.
Martinheterjag EasyVerb
Gramophony and Wave Folder, developer Martinheterjag is back with EasyVerb, a simple and easy to use reverb effects with only two knobs. The reverb knob lets you dial in the desired type of reverb from rooms to halls to long shimmering reverbs. Then all that’s left to do is to adjust the reverb level using the dry/wet mix knob and you’re good to go. Despite its lack of more advanced controls, EasyVerb is a great tool if you just want a good-sounding reverb quickly.
AfterEasyVerb is a VST3 plug-in for Windows.
