Plugins

Galdr

Synthesizer

A 12-voice synth built with JUCE: morphing wavetables, a vowel-capable multimode filter, tremolo picking, a cavern reverb and a granular snowstorm called Blizzard.

Gala

Vocal processor

One chain from dry scream to finished vocal: gate, split-band de-esser, morphing formant filter, multistage drive, doubler and ducked ambience. Sibling of Galdr, same dark face.

Gjalla

Guitar amp simulator

Solid state, no tubes, no sag: a cheap transistor head, a distortion pedal in front of it (dist, chainsaw or fuzz) and a cabinet that stops dead above 5 kHz. Custom IRs welcome.

About

Sognevo is the label I put on the audio software I build. There is no company behind it and nothing for sale: the plugins are free software in both senses. They cost nothing, and the source is on GitHub under the GNU GPLv3, so you can use them on any recording, fork them, or take the code apart to see how they work.

They also don't ask for accounts, don't send telemetry and won't ever grow a paid tier. If something breaks, or you wish a knob existed, open an issue on the plugin's repository or write to andrea@sognevo.com.
