Protoverb VST (free) HomepageDownload
Protoverb is an experimental reverb based on the idea of a âroom simulatorâ. Most algorithmic reverbs try to avoid resonances or model the reflections of sound from a rooms walls. Protoverb does the opposite. It builds up as many room resonances as possible, modeling the body of air in the room. It therefore does not need to modulate or colour the signal. The result is a very natural sounding reverbration with some interesting features.
Glitch 2 VST (49,95 EUR) HomepageDemo
Glitch is an audio effect plugin for Windows (VST), Mac (VST and AU) and Linux (VST), available in both 32-bit and 64-bit formats.

Input signals are split into as many as 20 individual voices, each of which are detuned, placed around the stereo panorama, and recombined with stunning results. Flexible controls mean Manifold is capable of producing a wide range of effects; from subtle modulations that add interest to lifeless sounds, to extreme detuning that fattens the weakest of input sources.
Resound VST (41,43 âŹ) Homepage Demo
Resound is a software audio delay effect processor that emulates the sound and operation of vintage magnetic-tape echo units. Whilst not a direct copy of any one particular model, it takes features from several of the classic delay devices, and unites them into a convincing and pleasingly retro sounding effect.

Helm VSTi (free) HomepageDownload .deb Downloadsource
Helm is a free, cross-platform, polyphonic synthesizer that runs on GNU/Linux, Mac, and Windows as a standalone program and as a LV2/VST/AU/AAX plugin. Release is in beta so there are outstanding bugs.
Unfortunately on my system this VSTi crashes or makes Renoise crash sometimes.
The deb downloads for Linux only contain LV2 plugins, which is not supported by Renoise.
To get a VSTi you need to compile it from source.
You still need to install the .deb archive on Debian-like systems to get all the factory presets.
Here is how to compile it on Debian-like systems:
-
download VST Audio Plug-Ins SDK from here: https://www.steinberg.net/en/company/developers.html
-
unzip it
-
move it into ~/srcs
mkdir ~/srcs
mv "VST3 SDK"~/srcs
- install software and dependencies
sudo apt-get install git build-essentiallibasound2-dev libjack-jackd2-dev libx11-dev libfreetype6-dev libxinerama-dev libxcursor-dev
git clonehttps://github.com/mtytel/helm.git
- compile and install it
cd helm
make vst
mkdir ~/.vst
cp builds/linux/VST/build/helm.so ~/.vst
- clean up
rm -rf~/srcs ~/helm
sudo apt-get purge git build-essentiallibasound2-dev libjack-jackd2-dev libx11-dev libfreetype6-dev libxinerama-dev libxcursor-dev
Carve VST (free) Homepage Download
Carve is a wave shaping distortion with several available waveforms and two distortion units, which can be configured in serial, parallel or stereo, and blended with the dry sound.
ambiX VST bundle (free) Homepage Download
Cross-platform Ambisonic processors useable as VST/LV2 plug-ins or standalone application under Windows, Mac OSX and Linux. They can be used in flexible hosts like Reaper, Ardour, MaxMSP, Bidule or as standalone applications with Jack.
The plug-ins can be used to produce 3D Ambisonic content or do post production on recordings. (eg. Soundfield or EigenmikeÂŽ microphone recordings)
The Ambisonic order is variable and can be choosen at compile time. The processors use the ambiX convention (full 3D, ACN channel ordering, SN3D normalization)
Iâm not sure if Renoise can handle high channel counts per track, but the VSTs should work at least with Ardour.
You need to compile this VST pack from source.
Here is how to do it on Debian-like systems:

NotNotchFilter VST (free) Homepage Download
NotNotchFilter is a performance-oriented filter designed to replace the mid-EQ found in a standard 3-band DJ mixer. The key advantage of this filter is that it cleanly cuts out single voices or instruments in a track, whereas a standard 3-band filter dampens them. This is because NotNotchFilter, as the name suggests, is not actually a notch filter. Rather, it is a combination of a hipass and lopass filter which work on opposite sides of the target frequency.
