2. Flux BitterSweet v3
Windows, Mac OS X BitterSweet from Flux is a free transient shaper plugin. It works well for adding more ‘punch’ to your drums, especially your kicks, snares and toms. The extra punch comes when you turn the dial to the ‘bitter’ setting. You can soften the punch of a sound when you turn the dial towards the ‘sweet’ setting. It is available as a 32-bit and 64-bit plugin. Features:
Output Gain, controlling the gain at the end of the processing.
Bypass routes the incoming signal direct to the output for a true smooth transition between processed and clean signal.
Three different transient processing modes:
Main, using a regular stereo signal scheme for the processing.
Center, processing the Mid channel only, very efficient for snare and kick drums.
Stereo, processing the Side channel only, very efficient for panned rhythmic/transient instruments.
3. Glitch 2

Featuring a new and improved sequencer which can play multiple effects simultaneously, with the ability to trigger unique scenes from every note on your keyboard, Glitch can be as gentle or as brutal as you like. Add the occasional splash of re-trigger or stretcher to single hits within your drum loop, or fill the entire sequencer with random effect blocks for a totally chaotic trip down the digital rabbit hole… the choice is yours! Features:
Sequencer
Each program consists of 128 scenes that can be triggered via MIDI notes. Each scene has its own unique sequencer pattern, timing, and effect settings, allowing you to create tons of unique variations for every moment in your song, all ready to go at the press of a key!

The real time pitch correction, the “autotune“, is the effect we all love to hate (and vice versa). T-Pain, Cher, Daft Punk, Tatayet, Black Eyed Peas, and so many artists have used it creatively, for getting this weird robotic voice feeling.
We have searched all around the interweb, and tested for you : 5 FREE autotune VST plugins, to use in real time in any sequencer or DAW. We tend to prefer vocoder over the pitch corrector/autotune effect, but anyway, here’s the TOP 5 :
1. KeroVee VST by g200kg
