de la mancha have released the third version of dirtbox but itâ€™s now no longer freeware. Hereâ€™s what they have to say about itâ€¦
â€�dirtbox is an effect plug-in designed to compress, distort and modulate your audio into a whole new filthy world, from subtle warmth to dynamic destruction. Itâ€™s arsenal of dirty bombs cover parallel compression, many flavours of dirt and filth, bit crushing, sample rate dropping and ring modulation. Add to that a 4 way XY pad and 2 tempo-sync LFOs and you can modulate up to 6 parameters to really throw that filth around the place. Time to get dirrrrrrrrrrtyâ€¦ Features

Fully featured compressor, with parallel dry audio for a huge sound
3 banks of dirt, each offering 18 flavours of filth with adjustable levels and wet/dry control
1 to 16 bits and 1.0 to 44.1kHz sample rate let you get as crushed and crappy as you want
Ring modulation offers 12 tonal variations and 11 different waveforms, with adjustable frequency
4 way XY pad allows assignment of any 4 of 10 parameters to each corner, with;
- 0-100% modulation across opposite corners of the pad
- bar graph shows modulation amount in each corner
- Increase minimum % level for tighter range
- 2 tempo-sync LFOs to modulate puck in the X and Y axis
2 tempo-sync LFOs each have;
- 14 waveforms including two types of random
- tempo-sync settings from 1/16 to 16 beats, including multiples of 2 and 3
- depth (0-100%) and phase (-360 to +360 degrees)
- bar graph showing real-time modulation
Each LFO can also modulate an additional parameter from a choice of 10, with LFO1 also able to modulate LFO2
All modulated parameters have visual indicators of real-time modulation
Midi CC and Midi Learn options
over 50 presets covering subtle to painful
