Soundtoys

Soundtoys brings together the entire range of audio effects into one powerful collection for Windows PC. Includes all 21 plug-ins!



Saturate, compress, and distort with Decapitator, Radiator, and Devil-Loc. Get a virtual history of echo and delay hardware with EchoBoy and PrimalTap.

Transform your vocals with Little AlterBoy. Recreate classic studio pitch, chorus, and widening effects with Crystallizer and MicroShift. Take modulation to new levels with the beat-synced rhythmic effects of PanMan, Tremolator, FilterFreak, and PhaseMistress.

All of these individual elements are proven, powerful audio tools, trusted by professional mix engineers, musicians, and sound designers everywhere. But combined in the new Soundtoys Effect Rack, they are indeed the ultimate effects collection.

The Effect Rack makes it simple to build your own custom effect chains and define your signature sound. And when you’ve created the perfect combination of effects, the Rack’s global controls let you treat the whole rack as a single plug-in.

The Effect Rack integrates all of the individual Soundtoys effects into a single plug-in, which improves workflow by displaying an entire custom effect processing chain at once.

You won’t need to juggle multiple plug-in windows to adjust parameters, add new effects, or change their routing. The Effect Rack for Desktop keeps everything right at your fingertips.



With computer-based authorization, free up precious USB ports for audio interfaces and MIDI controllers. Studio pros can still use Soundtoys with their iLok USB keys to managing all of their plug-in licenses.

All plug-ins come with two activations. Use one at the studio, and the other on your home machine or laptop.

Soundtoys audio effects bring color, character, and creativity to your digital music studio with plug-ins that merge the sound and vibe of classic analog gear with modern and musical twists.
