All plugins from KiTiK.dev are now free/donationware, which means you can grab them all for as low as $0.
There are 5 plugins that they offer, as well as one sample pack, which we will get into.
Let’s start with Disburser. KiTiK has “reverse-engineered” Kilohearts’ Disperser and made it into a free plugin.
Disperser is a popular plugin for sound design that uses some phasing and frequency trickery to create unique sounds. Disburser, however, is a great free alternative.
QwikRef is a user-friendly utility that references your audio through different playback devices.
I’m sure as music producers and audio engineers, we all do the sacred car test when mixing and mastering.
Or occasionally testing the mix on phones and such, rather than studio quality monitors and headphones to see how it translates.
QwikRef provides an easy solution for this, simulating devices like laptops, Airpods and phones, as well as a car stereo. Just for a “quick sanity check” for your mixes.
Simple Synth 2.0 is pretty much what it says on the tin. It is a 2 oscillator synth with 8-voice polyphony, 4 wave types, and an FM oscillator.
It features 3 filters (with a choice of 6 types for each) as well as 2 LFOs that can modulate many parameters in the plugin.
While Simple Synth 2.0 may not be the most ground-breaking synth, it is certainly functional and features an oscilloscope which is always great for learning synthesis.
DistorK is an “all-in-one distortion plugin that lets you customize quickly, and easily”.
It has 4 distortion modes: saturation, clipping, waveshaping, and bit crushing. You can even combine them all for a truly gnarly multi-stage distortion, with the ability to order the modules how you like.
It also features oversampling to minimize artifacts, as well as a mix knob.
Mangl3r is “DistorK’s big brother”. It is a multi-stage distortion similar to DistorK, but also with multiband capabilities. According to KitiK, this Mangl3r is his most impressive plugin yet.
Say you want to saturate the lows, clip and wave fold the mids, and bitcrush the highs? Or maybe you just want to saturate, bitcrush, and wavefold the highs and go crazy in that area? The sky’s the limit, really.
You can also dial in crossover points for the frequency bands which is nice to have.
Lastly, KiTiK Kollection Vol 1 is KiTiK’s first sample pack. It contains presets for Serum and Vital, wavetables, and drum and bass samples. A total of 550 samples are geared towards bass music.
Kitik Plugins run on Windows and macOS machines.
