Built-in and Bundled plug-ins
Here is the complete list of plug-ins included with Unify, organized by type.
In addition to our own built-in plug-ins, and several bundled third-party plug-ins indicated specifically below, the entire open-source MDA VSTs package is included, with the kind permission of developer Paul Kellett; see About the MDA plug-ins.
Instruments
Instrument plug-ins receive MIDI and produce audio.
- Unify itself can be used as an instrument
- Sine Wave Synth (built-in) plays simple sine tones for testing
- Guru Sampler (built-in) our flagship sampler instrument
- Audio File Player (built-in) simple audio-file player with MIDI triggering
- Dexed open-source emulation of Yamaha's classic DX7 FM synthesizer
- Digits open-source phase-distortion synth similar to Casio's CZ-series
- mda DX10 basic 2-operator FM synth with very low CPU usage
- mda JX10 2-oscillator analog subtractive style synth, also very easy on CPU
- OB-Xd open-source subtractive analog-style synth, emulates Oberheim OB-Xa
- MOrgan Osc open-source tone-wheel organ simulator
MIDI Effects
MIDI effect plug-ins process MIDI data only (not audio).
- MIDI Filter (built-in) multi-function MIDI event filter
- CC Mapper (built-in) flexible MIDI CC filter/re-router
- CC Rider (built-in) MIDI CC LFO
- CC Sender (built-in) MIDI CC generator
- PolyBox (built-in) creates a virtual polysynth from multiple monosynth layers
- MidiBox (built-in) MIDI-file player with looping capability
- JitterBox (built-in) randomizes timing (and other aspects) of MIDI notes
- TriggerBox (built-in) creative MIDI triggering effect
- BlueARP sophisticated MIDI arpeggiator
- Ripchord Player (built-in) turns single key-presses into chords
- MOrgan Perc Hammond-style, mono-triggered/polyphonic organ “percussion” effect
Audio Effects
Audio effect plug-ins process audio in various ways, and can be chained together. Unify includes many such plug-ins, which fall into six categories:
Delay
- Omega Delay (built-in) creative stereo delay with integrated distortion and chorus
- Sample Delay (built-in) sample-accurate stereo delay for latency compensation and special effects.
- Chow Matrix multi-delay with advanced modulation
- mda Delay basic stereo delay
- mda DubDelay creative delay with feedback saturation and time/pitch modulation
Distortion
- NoizBox (built-in) creative distortion effect
- Swanky Amp mathematically modeled tube-amp simulator
- Chow Tape Model sophisticated reel-to-reel tape simulator
- mda Bandisto multi-band distortion
- mda Degrade sample-rate reducer
- mda Overdrive warm tube-type distortion
Dynamics control
- Stereo Gain (built-in) stereo gain/attenuation block
- Enforcer (built-in) stereo compressor
- Pump House (built-in) adds tempo-locked pulsation to any sound
- LoudMAX “brick-wall” limiter
- mda Dynamics compressor/limiter/gate
- mda Envelope envelope follower / VCA
- mda Limiter optoelectronic-style limiter
- mda MultiBand multi-band compressor
- mda Splitter frequency/level crossover
Equalization and Filtering
- Restrictor (built-in) precision band-limiting filter
- FilterMax (built-in) single-channel, multi-mode filter
- FlexEQ (built-in) parametric EQ with high and low shelving filters plus two peaking filters
- mda Loudness equal loudness contours for bass EQ and mix correction
- mda RezFilter resonant filter with LFO and envelope follower
Modulation
- Silky Chorus (built-in) beautiful clean stereo chorus
- PhaseMod (built-in) stereo phaser
- PhaseMORE (built-in) multi-stage phaser
- FlangeMod (built-in) stereo flanger
- mda Detune simple up-down pitch-shifting thickener
- mda Image stereo image adjustment and mid-side matrix
- mda Leslie rotary speaker simulator
- mda RingMod simple ring modulator
- mda RoundPan 3D auto-panner
- mda Stereo Haas-delay and comb-filtering stereo simulator
- mda SubSynth multi-mode sub-bass enhancer
- mda ThruZero thru-zero flanger
- mda Transient transient shaper
- mda Tracker pitch-tracking oscillator/EQ
- mda Vocoder 8/16-band vocoder
- MOrgan Cab Leslie-effect simulator
Reverberation and Ambience
- WaterVerb (built-in) yields a swirling, “underwater” sound
- HallVerb (built-in) basic hall reverb with Freeze button
- EmVerb (built-in) high-quality hall reverb with early reflections
- ZenVerb (built-in) high-quality hall reverb with independent low- and high-frequency timing
- mda Ambience room-ambience effect
- Dragonfly ER open-source Early Reflection reverb
- Dragonfly Plate open-source Plate reverb
- Dragonfly Room open-source Room reverb
- Dragonfly Hall open-source Hall reverb
- KlangFalter open-source convolution reverb by Uli Haberhauer
Special
- Audio File Player “instrument”
- ComboBox, which allows connecting multiple plug-ins in arbitrary ways
- MIDI Monitor MIDI stream monitoring utility
- The Passthru effect appears in the menu of “Built-in” effects, but this is not for general use. It is a placeholder for when any audio or MIDI effect is not found when loading a patch or preset. When you see an error message and the name of the missing plug-in in red text, an instance of Passthru has been substituted.
