He has now moved on to new areas for some time already but didn’t want to let down his users. Hence, DDMF took over the code and will continue to offer the plugin as freeware, with the intent to further improve it and maybe add some more bells and whistles in the future. This is a free plugin. No money at all will be charged when you click on one of the buttons below to download the installer for your chosen operation system. It comes in all the usual plugin formats (VST/VST3/AU/AAX), for 32 and 64 bit hosts, and for Mac Intel & Silicon.
