Reckless Technology plugins 1.0.0

Twenty-one audio plugins from Reckless Technology, free for any use: twenty effects - modulation, reverb and convolution, amp, cabinet and NAM simulation, overdrive and distortion, dynamics, EQ, delay, a vocoder, a wah, an octaver and a doubler - and a Pedalboard that chains them. Each is a VST3 and a standalone app for Windows, macOS and Linux, and an Audio Unit on macOS. The macOS and Windows installers are signed, the Mac's notarized by Apple; Linux has a Debian package and a zip. They need macOS 13.3 (Ventura) or later, Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), or Linux x64 with glibc 2.38.

What's new in 1.0

• The first public release, free: download it from recklesstechnology.com.
• Signed installers for macOS and Windows, and a Debian package for Linux (sudo apt install ./reckless-plugins-1.0.0-linux-amd64.deb).
• The Mac plugins run on macOS 13.3 (Ventura) and later.
• Each plugin checks once a day for a newer version and says UPDATE in its header when one is out; the gear menu's Updates turns it off.
• The Vocoder's CARRIER has a third choice, Synth: play the carrier from MIDI, up to eight notes at once.
