Soundspear has updated Formula and made more than 50 audio effects available for free for the audio effects integrated development tool.
Formula is a free and open-source plugin for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and it is available in VST3, AU, and standalone formats.
Previously Soundspear offered the Formula Cloud paid subscription service, which included access to more than 50 effects for Formula.
Formula Cloud has been discontinued, and the effects are now available in the free version of Formula.
Formula allows users to create effects with a simplified version of the C programming language, and the plugin is designed to enable users to create audio effects in the simplest way possible.
It’s not just for developers, as within Formula you can access hundreds of audio effects created by the Soundspear community.
Regarding developers, the plugin allows them to code, debut and test effects inside their DAW.
Formula includes a Code Editor, which will look familiar to anyone who has coded before.
There is also a Sidebar that offers a range of actions concerning creating, testing, debugging and saving effects.
The behaviour of Formula effects can be controlled and automated within the Knobs panel, which has a range of knobs and switches that offer similar functionality as traditional audio plugins.
Both official and user videos on YouTube demonstrate the functionality of Formula if you’re curious to see how this works in practice.
Soundspear has included a developer guide inside the user manual for the plugin, made available on the Formula product page if you want to dive deep into how to develop effects with Formula.
You can also download a Zip file of the Formula installer for Windows, macOS, and Linux via a single-click process on the product page.
Formula is compatible with Windows 10 and up, as well as with macOS (Intel, M1) 10.11 and up.
While Formula is Soundspear’s open-source project, the developer also offers paid traditional effects and capsules.
Soundspear’s lineup of effects features the Superfilter vintage analogue filter, Supertube customizable tube compressor, S1 stereo dynamics mastering rack, and the Kill the Top multiband compressor.
All the above effects are priced below €50.
Soundspear’s lineup of five capsules features simpler plugin designs that are available for a cheaper rate of €14.90 each.
