FrettedSynth releases SlowBeer VST

FrettedSynth has released SlowBeer, an audio gate with very fast tracking (starts at about -60db and seems to be quite smooth on the gate close).

SlowBeer features

• Gate control
• ADSR controls
• Very low CPU usage, Zero latency with a fade in of about 1.5ms
• 4 versions are included in the download:
  • Mono gate
  • Stereo gate
  • Mono gate side chained
  • Stereo gate side chained

Tips from the developer:

1. Gate sets the input-threshold, at MIN it needs about 0db to trigger the gate, at MAX it needs about -62db to trigger the gate.
2. Release sets the time to re-trigger and the gate close time from about 2ms to about 200ms.

SlowBeer is available as a freeware VST effect plugin for Windows.

Oh, and while you’re over there check out the Drive5 amp simulation as well. It was FrettedSynths entry in the KVR DC 2006.
