Free plugins

Two plugins, free. Full licenses.

Bevel EQ and Stoke Saturator cost nothing while the launch sale runs. Not a demo, not a trial, not a lite version: the same build paying customers get, with a license that never expires. Built and used in a working recording studio in Cleveland, Ohio.

Bevel EQ parametric equalizer plugin, a full-bleed EQ display with the summed curve in ember and a live spectrum analyzer in cool blue

Stoke Saturator

One sound. Four knobs. Measured.

A saturator built around one deeply tuned analog-style voice and four knobs. Its weight, punch and loudness behaviour ship as measured contracts: each one is a test that fails the build the moment the number moves. No modes, no styles, nothing to choose.

    Take it

    Press the button. The checkout opens at $0 and asks for an email address, which is where the license key goes.

  2. 02

    Install it

    Download the installer for Windows or macOS from the plugin's page or from Downloads. It installs VST3 and AU or AAX for your system. Rescan in your DAW if it does not appear on its own.

  3. 03

    Paste the key

Why free
The launch sale. These are full products at their regular price the rest of the time.
For how long
While the launch sale runs. No end date has been set. Licenses issued during the sale stay valid after it.

System requirements in full: Windows: Windows 10 or later, 64-bit. VST3, AAX, Standalone. macOS: Intel and Apple Silicon. AU, VST3, AAX. Hosts: Any DAW that loads VST3, AU or AAX plugins.

The free plugins were built next to nine others, all of them made and used in the same room: compression, multiband, reverb, delay, summing, a vocal chain, a subharmonic synthesizer, a de-esser and a synthesizer. Every one has a free 3 day, full-function trial, and the bundles put the ones that belong together in one checkout.
