Soundtoys’ 12 Days of Soundtoys holiday giveaway is underway, delivering six plug-ins as free, time-limited drops. Each featured plug-in is available to claim for 48 hours only, so if you’ve been meaning to grab one, it’s worth checking the page during the current window.
The latest free offer is Little MicroShift, Soundtoys’ compact stereo widening plug-in, designed to make vocals, guitars, synths, and FX returns feel wider without turning into a wash of chorus.
Is It Worth It?
Even if you don’t plan to buy the full bundle, these “Little” plug-ins are genuinely useful, quick to dial in, and often end up as everyday staples. If you are considering Soundtoys 5.5 later, the freebies can also make bundle upgrades more appealing by filling gaps in your collection.
Current Free Offer: Little MicroShift
Little MicroShift is a stereo widener based on the same core idea as the full MicroShift. It adds width using short delays and subtle pitch offsets that mimic classic studio widening approaches, aiming for size and depth without obvious modulation artifacts.
Where it shines in real sessions
FX and returns: Can make delays and reverbs feel more expansive without pushing levels.
Lead vocals: Adds width while keeping the vocal forward, especially when you want space without more reverb.
Backing vocals: Helps stacks spread out fast, and makes doubles feel more intentional.
Mono synths and guitars: Turns a narrow part into something that occupies the sides, leaving room in the middle for kick, bass, and lead.
Previously offered in this giveaway
Soundtoys started the run with Little PrimalTap, a characterful delay with a vintage digital edge. EchoBoy Jr. also appeared earlier, a streamlined version of the EchoBoy family that’s built for fast, musical delay choices without a lot of tweaking.
If you missed those windows, keep an eye on the remaining drops, the best play is to claim each one as it arrives.
