Following their acquisition of Bomb Factory, Digidesign announced the availability of free Bomb Factory plug-in downloads at www.digidesign.com.

Seven Bomb Factory plug-ins – Bomb Factory BF76 (formerly Bomb Factory 1176), Bomb Factory BF Essentials (five plug-ins), and Funk Logic Mastererizer – are now available to download for Pro Tools TDM and LE systems running on Windows XP or Mac OS X.

The Bomb Factory BF76 plug-in (formerly, Bomb Factory 1176) is a digital emulation of the vintage 1176 Peak Limiter, and was previously part of the Bomb Factory Classic Compressors bundle at a fairly substantial cost ($599). Now, all Pro Tools users can benefit from this emulation of the 1176 vintage compressor/limiter for free.

The BF Essentials plug-in suite is comprised of a set of time-saving, trouble-solving, mixing studio utilities for Pro Tools environments. Each employs an intuitive, easy-to-use interface. The suite includes:

Clip Remover: Fast, accurate tool for repairing clipped audio recordings
Correlation Meter: Troubleshoots phase coherency on stereo tracks or stereo submixes
Meter Bridge: RMS and Peak VU metering with calibration on any channel, with minimal impact on DSP resources
Noise Meter: Three meters in one: A-weighted noise meter, a Robinson-Dadson equal-loudness meter, and a VU meter with 100 dB of visual range
Tuner: Fast-tracking, accurate instrument tuner

And finally, Funk Logic Mastererizer is a lo-fi sound effects plug-in.

These free Bomb Factory plug-ins are compatible with all Pro Tools TDM systems supported by Pro Tools 6.x software, as well as current Pro Tools LE systems. Sample rates up to 192 kHz are supported with Pro Tools|HD and HD Accel systems; sample rates up to 96 kHz are supported with Digi 002 and 002 Rack systems.

Along with the free Bomb Factory plug-ins, an array of software options are also included with every new Pro Tools system:

DigiRack Plug-In Suite (TDM & LE)
Music Production Enhancement Suite (versions of Live, Reason, SampleTank, AmpliTube, T-RackS EQ) (TDM & LE)
HDpack (TDM – HD only)

Bomb Factory BF76 supports TDM, RTAS, and AudioSuite; all other plug-ins support HTDM, RTAS, and AudioSuite.
