Best free plug-ins this week: KVR Developer Challenge 2018 has over 20 of ’em!
Hello, friends! Having a good weekend? We are back with a bunch of musical freeware you can grab straight away. And what a week it was! The KVR Developer Challenge 2018 entries are up now – over 20 free plug-ins and apps available completely free of charge!
Plus there’s a great Wurlitzer piano sample library for Kontakt owners and a neat multiband compressor/saturator/six-in-one mastering processor – for those of you keeping a 32-bit Windows install around, anyway. Check out our selection and definitely pay KVR a visit, for the developers dropped a motherload of cool stuff!
Wurly Premier G for Kontakt (full version)
Source: Premier Sound Factory
This is a sample-based emulation of a Wurlitzer piano recorded using the unit’s built-in mini speakers. It faithfully reproduces all those background noises and artifacts you’d expect from a vintage unit. The emulation includes the notable Wurlitzer tremolo, adjusted to the same pitch of the original Wurlitzer LFO. There’s also a Wah Pedal, along with reverbs from studio spaces and ones coming from the Space Echo unit. The samples feature 5 velocity layers and 2 release layers. Overall, a great piece of Kontakt freeware for Wurlitzer piano fans!

24 plug-ins and apps for Windows, 16 for Macs, and 3 soundware sets – all available for free by virtue of the developers that took this year’s KVR Developer Challenge! There’s no use for descriptions – just browse the sizeable collection and you are bound to discover a new gem or even a few! Our favorite has to be GranuLab, a granular resampler with an uber-cool interface and plenty of capability to mangle sounds.
MCS6 Serial Multiband Compressor

MCS6 is a serial multiband compressor and saturator with six processing stages – compression, saturation, equalization, stereo control, de-esser, and a peakscope display. It’s a powerful tool for skilled hands, but alas, it’s only available as a 32-bit VST plug-in for Windows systems.
