MeldaProduction’s MFreeFXBundle, is the biggest collection of free plugins available from a single developer, bringing together 38 audio effects, mixing tools and utilities in a bundle that’s become an essential download for any producers working on a tight budget.

Today, MeldaProduction introduces the latest addition to its MFreeFXBundle, that the company say is “the most powerful free delay ever”: MDelay.

MDelay is equipped with two delay taps, each of which offers individual control over all of its parameters. In these two panels you’ll find controls for feedback, delay time, pan and gain, along with a choice of delay algorithms that lets you choose between a modern-sounding digital delay and a vintage tape delay emulation. You’ll also find three delay types, including a ping-pong mode for echoes that bounce across the stereo field.

The plugin’s delays can be entered in milliseconds or synced to the tempo of your project, with the ability to introduce shuffle or dotted, triplet and tuplet rhythms to add some rhythmic flavour to your delay lines. There are resonant high and low-pass filters onboard, along with a saturation control for dialling in warmth and character.

That’s already a decent amount of functionality for a free delay, but there’s much more: MDelay is equipped with several routing options for serial and parallel processing, along with adjustable filter routing, and opening up the panel on the right-hand side will give you access to additional controls that’ll let you experiment with mid/side processing, design custom macros and generate impulse responses. There’s also a comprehensive metering system onboard for monitoring levels and stereo width.

MDelay arrives with a selection of presets to get you started, but if you want to save custom presets, you’ll have to upgrade to a paid version. MDelay is the little brother to Melda’s six-band multitap delay plugin MDelayMB, which is currently available at a discounted price of €15

Find out more and download MDelay, along with the entire MFreeFXBundle, over at MeldaProduction website.

Black Noise has announced that it has made several modules available for free in VCV Rack.

This includes three virtual modules: COSMOS, Slew-LFO, and the new GOMA II.

What they have to say about them:

“In this initial release, we’ve concentrated on the highly requested COSMOS, Slew-LFO, and the brand-new GOMA II. COSMOS was an ideal choice for this launch because it’s such a groundbreaking module, even if it can be a bit tricky to wrap your head around—there’s really nothing else quite like it. By bringing COSMOS to VCV Rack, we aim to provide everyone with the opportunity to easily explore and unlock the full potential of this exceptional module!

We put in tremendous effort to ensure this port is as faithful to the hardware as possible, which was quite a challenge! The result is a remarkably accurate module that also incorporates features enabled by the software, such as polyphony and over-sampled logic outputs.

Additionally, we’ve seized this opportunity to introduce some new features for Slew-LFO and GOMA II, but we’ll leave it to users to discover those for themselves! We hope that users will enjoy this first release and that these modules will inspire their creativity and lead them to explore new sonic landscapes.”

You can find information on the new modules at the VCV Rack site.

Spitfire Audio LABS+ subscription platform for samples but, LABS will remain free.

Spitfire Audio has officially launched LABS+, a subscription-based platform for samples that complements its free and long-running series of sample instruments, LABS.

Spitfire says LABS+ is a “wide-ranging collection of samples and sounds” that gives music-makers the opportunity to make use of “recordings used in Hollywood scores and hit records” at an affordable price point. LABS+ subscribers will receive a steady flow of new curated content each month, while gaining access to a library of existing sounds accessible through the LABS+ plugin. At the time of writing, the LABS+ library contains 45 sample packs.

LABS+ is launching with a new sample instrument focused on the sounds of amapiano, a genre of electronic music that emerged from South Africa in the mid-’00s and has since caught the attention of listeners worldwide. Recorded in Johannesburg, the pack’s sounds were developed in collaboration with London-based DJ Shannen SP and several prominent amapiano artists.

“LABS+ is ever-expanding,” Spitfire says in a statement on its website regarding the decision to make LABS+ a paid subscription service. “By becoming a member, you’ll be given access to new monthly instruments and ongoing perks – and we’ll be able to continue innovating and delivering high quality tools and support.”

Fans of LABS, Spitfire’s widely-beloved series of free sample instruments, may be disheartened by the company’s decision to launch a paid subscription service under the same name, but Spitfire says that it will continue to release free sample libraries as part of the LABS series and that all previously released LABS instruments will remain free.

“Not everyone can be so lucky to record at Abbey Road or AIR Studios, but that shouldn’t keep them from making music that sounds fantastic,” says Paul Thomson, Spitfire Audio’s founder and CPO.

“We created LABS+ to democratize the music creation process and give emerging talent around the world access to this incredible and unique sound palette. LABS+ meets the needs of the modern music-making world, combining accessibility, diversity, and quality of sound to make creation more inclusive and fun than ever.”

Spitfire Audio’s LABS+ subscription is priced at £12.99/month or £99/year. You can also access a 14-day free trial to test out LABS+ before you take the plunge.
