SnowTec - SnowTec Full Bundle 09.2026 STANDALONE, VST3 for Windows

Complete List of the 12 Included Plugins:

• Chaika v1.0.9: Low-noise tube preamplifier based on the rare Soviet high-transconductance triode 6S45P (6С45П). Features open airy highs, tight low-end, warm 2nd harmonic coloration, and an integrated real-time spectrum analyzer on the front panel.
• MELISMA v1.0.10: Continuous audio-to-MIDI pitch tracker engineered for expressive instruments (duduk, clarinet, zurna, saxophone, and vocals). Unlike standard converters that quantize to a chromatic grid, Melisma tracks continuous pitch contours to translate glides, microtonal melismas, and quarter-tones into MIDI.
• E-302 v1.0.3: Direct circuit and mechanical emulation of the portable Soviet mono cassette recorder "Elektronika 302-1". Built strictly to original schematics and factory specs: 63 Hz–10 kHz frequency response, 0.4% wow/flutter, 44 dB SNR, 4.76 cm/s tape speed, Type I cassette tape, and 120 µs pre-emphasis.
• Olimp-005C v1.0.9: Custom tape saturator built from the modeled internals of the Soviet Hi-Fi reel-to-reel deck Olimp MPK-005S (recording amplifiers, bias circuits, magnetic tape, and playback heads). Delivers gentle tape saturation, natural peak compression, two speeds, tape flutter, background hiss, and mains hum.
• PEQ-1 v2.0.1: Photorealistic passive tube program equalizer inspired by vintage Pultec designs. Captures authentic passive EQ curves, transformer/tube harmonic saturation, and a photo-modeled hardware interface.
• AlgoReverb v1.1.0: Algorithmic reverb engine featuring 5 distinct delay network topologies tailored for 5 specific acoustic spaces.
• Clipper v1.0.2: Diode clipper modeled on anti-parallel diode circuits to enforce a strict analog ceiling.
• ARARAT 2A v1.0.5: Optical leveling amplifier calibrated against four established LA-2A hardware units and emulations.
• ARAGATS 76 v1.0.0: Classic FET peak limiter modeled directly on original 1176 circuit schematics, featuring 4 distinct revisions with individual transformer behaviors and sonic characters.
• FiLLIN v0.1.0: Creative dynamic performance tool ("Four seconds where the recording pauses").
• ST-100VU v1.0.0: Precision VU meter calibrated to perceptual human hearing loudness rather than raw peak levels.
• ELBRUS L v1.0.1: True peak mastering limiter designed to strictly enforce inter-sample ceilings below -1 dBTP.

• Rare Soviet Circuitry Modeling: Direct emulation of distinct Soviet hardware, including the 6S45P triode preamplifier (Chaika), the portable Elektronika 302-1 cassette player (E-302), and the internal discrete signal chain of the Olimp MPK-005S reel-to-reel deck.
• Microtonal Pitch Capture: MELISMA solves the issue of losing expressive glides and micro-intervals on acoustic wind instruments and ethnic vocals by translating continuous pitch envelopes before quantizing note boundaries.
• Mastering Precision: ELBRUS L and Clipper offer strict peak control, while PEQ-1 and ST-100VU provide calibrated tonal shaping and perception-based loudness metering.
