While already existing plugins are getting better, Ender decided to bring 3 new tools to the suite! read below to discover these new plugins and their main features. As usual, some tools have been updated to improve performances/fix issues. Every sidechain unit got some changes. Unfortunately, Ender also decided to remove 4 existing plugins from the suite: Unique Comp, Multiband Stereo tool, Saturated Reverb and Saturated Delay. See the end of the post to get more information.
This update is optimizing plugins and fixing various issues users may encounter while using the plugin suite. The optimization process takes lots of time and that's why we'll do it in multiple times.
You can use the Plugin Suite with FL Studio PRODUCER EDITION 20.9.2 or above. most of these plugins won't work with the Fruity Edition. Ender brings it to you free of charges on these forums. Comments, suggestions and requests are welcome, just ask for a tool and we'll see if we can integrate it in the next update.
The plugins are CPU friendly and won't add a big latency in your session (the biggest Ender got was 40ms!).
PLEASE read the entire message! It contains useful information about these plugins and some important values you maybe need to know! ALL these plugins work in FL at least Studio 20.9.2 and above!
Here's the plugin list!

Ender's Unique EQ
An analog sounding plugin without big CPU usage and without any latency. This unique EQ let you use unique EQ curves and an automatic saturation inspired by the Pulteq EQ This is NOT an emulation AT ALL !. I only tried to create something analog.
Key features:
- Apply unique EQ curves with the three EQ bands
- Use a low pass and a high pass filter
- You can invert these unique curves
- You can turn on the reduction mode to reduce the mids frequencies
- You can make the three main EQ bands sharper
- You can make the two filters stronger
- You can turn off the saturation introduced by the plugin;
- The saturation gives you a smooth warmth.
This plugin was entirely rebuilt to improve, fix or change a lot of things from the V1.3 engine. Created to dynamically boost/cut frequencies, the dynamic Eq is a great alternative to compression. The latest version includes 7 bell (peaking) curves only with a specific frequency range. Each band can be broad or narrow in some musical way. It means that each band won't be very broad or narrow. The bandwidth range is enough to tame unwanted resonances and boost good frequencies without having extreme settings. The release time goes from very fast (a few ms) to very slow (1.5 second or up). These values are only average values because it's kind of hard to determinate the exact release time.
Key features:
- band 1 goes from 30 to 80hz;
- band 2 goes from 85 to 200hz;
- band 3 goes from 205 to 500hz;
- band 4 goes from 505 to 1200hz;
- band 5 goes from 1205 to 5000hz;
- band 6 goes from 5005 to 10 000hz;
- band 7 goes from 10 005 to 20 000hz.
- You can boost/cut up to 12db.
This preset let you mix the mids and the sides of your song separately in an easy-to-use interface. Did you know? Phase issues are often introduced by a stereo low end, or when the stereo field is too wide. using a mid/sides EQ will let you avoid this kind of issue by controlling your stereo field.
Key features:
- Apply different processing on the mids and the sides separately
- Use a gain knob to control the volume of these two bands
- You can bypass the processing of each band separately
- You can use up to five bands
- the filters from both EQs are limited to a certain range.
- The sides high pass maximum value is 110hz;
- The mid high pass maximum value is limited to 120hz ;
- the sides low pass filter goes from 18.5khz to 175hz;
- the mids low pass filter goes from 18.5khz to 150HZ;
- each band can boost/reduce up to 6db;
- the filter curves are a bit gentler;
- The plugin is a Linear phase process.
Ender's Warmth Machine
This plugin is made to add warmth to your digital sounds. it makes any song sound analog with its four distortion modes and its light modules from "Ender's Unique EQ" and "Ender's Double Comp".

This plugin was made for Techno production, but it can be used anywhere if you want a dirty sound! Based on the Double Comp Engine, this plugin blends expansion and compression in one unique signal. from dynamic changes to extreme grittiness, Alter will bring some analog saturation and turn the most numeric signal into a warm pleasure for the ears.
You'll notice i did a bunch of Multiband plugins in the past. Alter will be one of them too! you'll get more flexibility with this multiband-based engine and get some unexpected results. it all depends on your adjustments!

- Fixed compatibility with FL Studio 20.9.2. You can now use SSL Glue in FL Studio 20
What effect didn't you see in the previous Plugin Suite Version? Yes, you're right, a transient shaper! Those who use FL Studio Producer edition don't own a native transient processor license and must use compressors or external transient shaping tools... But it's now over! Ender's Transient Shaper offers basic functionality to shape the attack and the release of your sounds. It's a really simple and easy to use plugin. it includes two sharpness modes*
Key features:
- Boost the attack of your sounds (two sharpness modes)
- Use the sustain knob to cut or isolate the sustain of your sound
- Take advantage of the output knob that will always output the audio signal at the same volume, even when the plugin is disabled (with the built-in bypass button)

ENDER PLUGIN SUITE DEPRECATED PLUGINS
Here is a list of all the deprecated plugins from the Ender Plugin Suite. You can find all the details about the various plugins that have been part of this plugin suite. Please keep in mind that this list can change at any time. You'll find basic information about the deprecated plugins AND you'll find a link to the Plugin Suite archive to download those plugins if you want. One more time, the archive and/or the information are subject to change. Enjoy your reading.

Ender's Unique Comp (Deprecated since V2.1):
Unique Comp is deprecated because it's useless for most of us. The main idea (blending an expander with a compressor) is used in Ender's Alter, a plugin that's better than Unique comp. The GUI hasn't been updated unlike almost every plugin for the Version 2.0. Ender finally decided to remove this plugin from his Plugin suite in June.
Plugin description:
This plugin is a unique compressor that blend an expander with a compressor in one! This plugin can be interesting on atmosphere and on experimental sounds, but don't exclude any other usage!
Key features:
- Blend an expander with a compressor by turning the "comp amount" knob
- Add some analog warmth with the "warmth button."
- You can use up to eight different compression curves
- You can turn on a limiter mode
--
Ender's Multiband Stereo Tool (NOT DEFINITEVLY REMOVED!):
Multiband Stereo Tool is, like the name suggest, a plugin that let you increase the stereo width of three bands separately. Even if the concept of this plugin is great, it's difficult to update/improve/fix issues on this plugin. it's based in the single band Stereo Tool plugin, and its engine has more than 30 plugins! rebuilding a brand new Multiband stereo plugin seems easier / better for the developer’s understanding. The plugin is NOT DEFINITIVELY removed from the plugin suite. It has to be reworked, but it's not possible in this update.
Plugin Description:
This plugin let you work on the stereo field of every sound. This plugin uses the same engine as Ender's Stereo Tool. The latest version brings some improvements and new features.
Key features:
- change the stereo width of every band separately
- GUI (knobs) Updated for a better style.
- This plugin is now a linear-phase process to avoid phase shift.
- You can now make each band wider or thinner like you want.
- The band panning option has been removed.

Saturated reverb was meant to create chaotic and distorted reverbs. Once again, Ender decided to create a useless plugin. That's the only reason why it gets deprecated.
Plugin Description:
This preset let you add some reverb to your songs, from a simple to a really distorded reverb.
Key features:
- Apply some saturation to your reverb
- Turn on the distorded mode by clicking the "Dist." button
- You can choose from two kinds of reverb (normal and bright)
- You can add a simple "four to the floor" sidechain compression with the sidechained mode
- Choose between a classic or a heavy sidechain compression
