In their own words
Airwindows Consolidated
Airwindows Consolidated packages the Airwindows DSP effects library into one DAW plugin. It includes nearly 400 plugins, with new ones added as they are released. Menus let users browse Recommended, Basic, Recent or All Plugins selections. Each effect has a built-in sidebar with its Airwindows release explanation, described as nearly 150,000 words of documentation. The interface can follow the system's dark or light mode or use an override, and users can enter parameter values in text boxes. It supports screen readers that read text aloud. The DAW plugin is available in CLAP, VST3, AU and LV2 formats, with 64-bit Windows, Mac and Linux downloads. The project also describes standalone and VCV Rack forms. Consolidated is free and open source under the MIT license, and the maker says the plugins have no DRM. When a new Airwindows plugin is released, users can download and reinstall a new Consolidated build. Questions can be directed to the project's issue tracker.
