Igorski releases Darvaza, a freeware tempo-synchronized tremolo/gate VST plugin for Windows and macOS.

[Larry Shelby]

Darvaza is a gate plugin with additional features that make it a surprisingly capable sound mangling tool. It can work as a standard tremolo effect or a completely chaotic gate effect that nearly reaches the glitch territory.

The plugin lets you apply multiple transformations to the gated signal, from modulation to playback speed changes, signal quality degradation, etc. It even includes a reverb effect with a “freeze” option that lets you capture a snapshot of the reverb signal.

Thanks to its extended feature set, Darvaza can do many things that a standard tremolo effect can’t. It’s more geared towards sound design experimentation than creating simple guitar-style tremolos and basic rhythmic gates.

The description makes it sound milder than I found it to be in actual use.

In my view, it's more like a Freakshow Industries product (high praise).

In other words, if you like to design sound, by which I mean mangle the snot out of it, you should download this right now.
