Sample&Hold orc sco Audio rate sample and hold.
Shear orc sco Delays [-] waveform half.
SlewLimiter orc sco Limits the rate of change of an input signal.
Valve orc sco Valve [Tube] distortion / enhancement.
Dividers:
Divider orc sco Inverts alternate wavecycles [wavelets].
SubOctave orc sco Creates 4 sub-octave [sub-harmonic] square waves.
Dynamics:
Dynamics orc sco Applies curve stored in table to dynamic level for compression / expansion / gating etc.
EnvelopeCopy orc sco Applies the volume envelope of one sound to another.
Re-Envelope orc sco Remove and replace input envelope.
Enhancers:
BoomBox orc sco A stereo bass enhancer inspired by the dbx120.
Width orc sco Stereo width expander with filter to reduce bass loss. Can also compress width to mono.
Filters:
EnvFilter orc sco AutoWah.
FilterBank orc sco 6 Resonant filters in parallel. An emulation of the SoundMagic FX Filterbank plug-in by Mike Norris for SoundEffects / SoundMaker.
Mutator orc sco An emulation of the Mutronics Mutator, a hardware stereo filter box.
Resonators orc sco Similar to 'FilterBank', but using streson.
StepReson orc sco Sample and hold driven reson filter.
VoiceBox orc sco Random interpolation between the formants of the vowels A, E, I, O and U. Formant frequency and bandwidth information from the Csound manual.

FreqShift orc sco A stereo frequency shifter with delayed feedback. Lots of p-fields!
Harmoniser orc sco A stereo harmoniser / pitch shifter with delayed feedback.
Stop orc sco Emulates a record or tape slowing to a stop.
Gates:
Comparator orc sco Compares 1 input with zero crossing line, or 2 inputs with each other.
Gates orc sco Instantaneous gates.
Logic orc sco AND, NAND and XOR gates.
RhythmGate orc sco Rhythmic gating and enveloping of the input.
Panning:
CircularPan orc sco Simple 360 degree auto-panning effect using AM rather than HRTF or delays. Can also produce normal auto-panning or tremolo.
SpatialPan orc sco An emulation of the Red Sound Federation BPM FX Pro's spatial panning.

Waveshapers:
DUY Shape orc sco An emulation of the DUY Shape ProTools™ plugin. Splits input into 3 frequency bands then applies different waveshaping to each band.
WaveShaper1 orc sco Non-linear amplification. A wide range of transfer curves are supplied. In addition, 2 tables can be combined [with variable balance] to increase the variety of curves available. Can produce a wide range of effects from distortion to quantisation and rectification [but mostly distortion!].
WaveShaper2 orc sco Dynamic, random crossfading between 8 transfer curves.
