KageMusicKorea, an independent record label and audio developer based in Seoul, South Korea, has released the KG Series, a free collection of 12 audio plugins designed to provide affordable (or rather, free) creative tools for music producers.
The KG Series is aimed at breaking down the financial barriers one might associate with music production. Of course, since you’re reading BPB, you learn about hundreds of free plugins each year.
But even so, getting twelve free plugins in one purpose-built bundle is a nice touch.
The developers describe the KG Series project as a way to help artists, both beginners and seasoned pros, focus on creativity without worrying about cost. No registration is required to download, and the complete set comes as a 0.9 GB ZIP hosted on Google Drive.
Each plugin in the KG Series is lightweight and tailored toward practical mixing and sound-shaping tasks. The lineup includes multiple EQs, dynamics processors, saturation tools, and time-based effects, all designed with analog-style circuitry emulation.
Some of the highlights include KG-EQP, a two-band analog-style EQ for adding warmth and subtle shaping, and KG-SSQ, a five-band precision EQ suitable for detailed mix sculpting.
There’s also KG-FREQ6, a six-band parametric EQ with wide gain ranges and a clean layout, and KG-SUB, which enhances sub-bass content with crossover and delay blending for a tighter low-end.
Dynamics processors in the collection include KG-COMP, a two-stage RMS compressor with vintage-style warmth controls, and KG-2A, a simple yet effective optical compressor. You also get KG-DEESSER for transparent vocal control and KG-ARCL, an auto-release limiter offering smooth, adaptive gain reduction.
On the saturation front, KG-TUBE delivers analog-style warmth with independent low and high-frequency control, while KG-SATURATOR gives more precise three-band saturation with added tonal coloring options.
Rounding out the set are KG-CLARITY, which boosts upper frequencies to add presence, and KG-VERB, an analog-style reverb with a flexible filter section and pre-delay controls.
All of this sounds fantastic, apart from one caveat. The plugins are Windows-only.
And that being so, I haven’t been able to test these plugins yet because I’m currently on the road with only my MacBook. If any Windows users reading this give these plugins a try, please feel free to share your impressions in the comments.
You can download the full set directly from the KageMusicKorea website as a ZIP file. No registration is required.
Plugin formats include VST3 only. Minimum system requirements: Windows PC with a modern Intel or AMD processor (SSE2 support), 8GB RAM, and a DirectX 11-compatible GPU.
