Soundtoys 5

Soundtoys 5 is a complete collection of all 23 Soundtoys audio effects. It brings the sound and vibe of classic analog gear into your DAW with a modern twist. This bundle is for mix engineers, musicians, and sound designers who want creative tools with character.

The collection covers a wide range of processing needs:

• Saturation and distortion: Get analog warmth and grit with Decapitator, Radiator, and Devil-Loc.
• Delay and echo: Access a virtual history of hardware delays with EchoBoy and PrimalTap.
• Reverb: Create classic plate sounds with SuperPlate or experimental textures with SpaceBlender.
• Vocal processing: Transform vocals with the pitch and formant shifting of Little AlterBoy.
• Modulation: Add movement with the beat-synced rhythmic effects of PanMan, Tremolator, FilterFreak, and PhaseMistress.
• Width and pitch: Recreate classic studio widening and pitch-shifting effects with Crystallizer and MicroShift.

The centerpiece of the collection is the Effect Rack. It lets you combine any of the individual plug-ins into a custom multi-effects chain inside a single window. This simplifies your workflow. You can build your own signature sounds, save them as presets, and control the entire chain with global controls for mix and tempo. The Rack also has a unique Recycle control, which feeds the output back into the input to create complex, evolving delays and reverbs.

While the effects are designed for instant inspiration, they also offer deep control. Many plug-ins have a Tweak panel that reveals circuit-level parameters. Here you can access different saturation styles, fine-tune an effect's groove, or choose between delay algorithms. This gives you incredible flexibility.

You can also design your own modulation patterns. The Shape Editor lets you draw custom LFO shapes, while the Rhythm Editor works like a sequencer for creating complex rhythmic patterns that sync to your project's tempo.

Soundtoys 5 uses computer-based authorization, so you don't need a physical iLok dongle, though it's compatible with iLok USB keys if you prefer. Each license includes two activations.
