    KVR Audio has launched the KVR Developer Challenge 2021, the 8th edition of its freeware audio plugin, application & soundware design event.

    The event has entered the download and voting stage, you can freely download from the 37 plugins & apps, and of course, vote your favorite entries.

    The “KVR Developer Challenge” is for anyone who develops Audio Plug-ins or Applications and Soundware. The challenge is to create and release a brand new free audio plug-in, application, or sound library/pack/set that will benefit the community at large.

    Creativity is key, it can be as simple or as complex as you want – KVR members will vote on the entries and pick the eventual winner using whatever criteria they choose to.

    Five cash prizes will be awarded to the top entries and a wildcard pick. Prizes are sponsored by the community-funded KVR Developer Challenge 2021 donation pool.
