1. Lloyd Stellar Free Plugins & Devices
Syd Vocoder
Syd Vocoder is a free vocoder plugin with a built-in synthesizer that recreates the vocoder of the Clavia Nord Micro Modular, a virtual analog synth from the late 1990s. Hold chords on your MIDI keyboard while singing or speaking into a microphone, and the built-in synth plays back in the shape of your words. There is no need to set up a separate synth as the carrier. Its 21 presets are based on the original Nord Modular vocoder patches. Version 1.0.0 was released on November 8, 2026. Note that this is an independent project unaffiliated with Clavia, and no Clavia code is used.
More Lasers
More Lasers is an 8-voice synthesizer for creating electro laser and zap sounds. Version 1.0.0, released on October 26, 2026, replaces the older Windows-only More Lasers and Lloyd’s Lasers, and adds a Mac version (VST3, AU and standalone). Linux has also been supported since October 29. The panel is designed to look like the control panel of a Cold War–era nuclear power plant.
Lloyd’s Robot Vocal
Lloyd’s Robot Vocal is a free robot voice instrument that raps the lyrics you type in, on the beat of your song, using the flow and voice you choose. Each line of the lyrics is assigned to its own MIDI key, and a MIDI clip is created automatically. It includes 49 voices derived from old speech synthesis chips, home computers and talking machines, plus 17 rap flows, and you can layer a vocoder, talk box and delay on top.
HyperLink
HyperLink is a VST3 plugin for 4ms MetaModule owners that lets you control the MetaModule from your DAW. Connect the module to your computer with a single USB cable and insert the plugin on a MIDI track, and the currently playing patch is displayed on screen together with the actual panel, every knob and every cable. It is free and open source. Note that audio is not sent over USB, so connect the MetaModule’s outputs to your audio interface.
Lloyd’s Sample Maker
Lloyd’s Sample Maker is a free Max for Live device for Ableton Live 12 that records your performance, automatically slices it into sounds and loops, and saves them into a sample pack folder. Insert it on a track, group or the master, press Record, play, then press Record again and the take is sliced up. Listen to each slice and choose Save or Skip, and the saved sounds are stored in the sample pack folder as named and numbered 24-bit WAV files.
Lloyd’s App2Live
Lloyd’s App2Live (LA2L) is a free Max for Live device that lets you bring beats, loops and samples made in smartphone or browser apps straight into Ableton Live. Press the app’s “Send to Live” button and then click Import in Live, and each sound is placed on a new, named and colored audio track, warped to the tempo you used in the app. No exporting or dragging files is needed. It is provided as open source.
2. How to Download and Install the Lloyd Stellar Plugins
Each product can be downloaded easily from its product page with no account registration required. Some come with an installer, while others require you to place the plugin in the folder yourself. To use Syd Vocoder, insert it on a MIDI track and set the track carrying your voice as its sidechain input.
