Free freq ramps software for windows

FFRend (Freeframe Renderer) is a renderer for Freeframe plugins that will allow you to easilychain any number of plugins together, automate their parameters using oscillators, and record the output to an AVI file. The input is a video (AVI), still image (BMP/JPG/GIF), or source plugin.
Most VJ softwares support Freeframe, and can record their output, so what makes FFRend different? FFRend is optimized for content generation, whereas VJ softwares are typically optimized for live performance. The key difference is that FFRend never drops frames, even when your project is too CPU-intensive to be rendered in real time.
Its also possible to perform with FFRend, though you may have to lower the resolution, simplify your plugin chain, or use a more powerful PC, in order to get an acceptable frame rate. All parameters and oscillator settings can be controlled via MIDI.
FFRend supports plugin authoring, which means you can export a FFRend project as a Freeframe plugin. The exported plugin is called a metaplugin, because it uses other plugins as components. A metaplugin can be used in any Freeframe-compatible host application, and behaves as if you were running the equivalent project in FFRend.
FFRend is free, open-source software for Windows 2000/XP. It includes comprehensive help, an installer, and a simple demo project. If you want to render complex effects at high resolution, using chains of automated Freeframe plugins, FFRend is your friend.
Main features:
- All plugin parameters can be automated using LFOs (Low-Frequency Oscillators) with various waveforms (e.g. triangle, sine, ramp, square, pulse, random).
- The plugin chain and all its parameter and automation settings can be saved as a project.
- The plugin order can be changed at any time via dragging, without disrupting the plugin states.
- Plugins can be temporarily bypassed or soloed.
- The plugin frame size is variable, so you can preview the output in real time by lowering the resolution, and then record it at a higher resolution.
- Theres no 2 GB limit on the output file, so uncompressed output is limited only by disk space.
- A master speed control is provided, allowing you to affect the frequency of all your automations at once.
- Full screen is supported, as well as DirectDraw Exclusive mode which eliminates tearing.
- Dual-monitor support allows you to have the applications controls on one monitor and the output full-screen on the other.
- All parameters and oscillator settings can be controlled via MIDI; assignments can be created via editing, or "learned".
- FFRend supports unlimited undo.
- Multi-input (mixer) plugins are supported, and complex signal routing can be created using the Patch Bay bar.
- A File Browser bar is included, with tabs for Projects, Plugins, and Clips, plus a Monitor bar for viewing the output in dual-monitor mode.
