From the awesome-juce Effects list. This project doesn't use GitHub
Releases in the normal sense - a single perpetually-updated release
("plugin" tag) accumulates dated per-platform build links directly in
its body text as github.com/user-attachments/files/<id>/<filename>
URLs. Used the most recent build link per platform. Version folder
normalized to the most recent build's date (2024.8.9), matching the
same author's Hammer-and-Meiszel precedent already in the registry.
Excluded the Linux build: its attachment URL and the Windows build's
attachment URL both end in the identical filename "NEL.vst3.zip" (a
GitHub user-attachments quirk - the ID differs but the served filename
doesn't), which breaks this registry's validator: it caches downloads
by URL basename, so the second file silently gets checked against the
first file's already-cached bytes instead of downloading its own,
producing a permanent sha256/size mismatch that isn't fixable by
correcting the metadata. Renaming the URL isn't possible either -
GitHub 404s if the trailing filename doesn't match exactly. Kept
Windows (most consistently maintained per the changelog) and Mac
(uniquely named attachment, no collision).
Verified via unzip/lipo that mac ships both VST3 and AU
(universal arm64+x64) despite only vst3+au.zip being mentioned;
windows/linux ship VST3 only, x64.

@Mrugalla Would you be able to name each one uniquely and attach the Release as per GitHub guidelines? it would make it easier to list in registries |

hi Mrugalla your files are currently named like this the registry would need them to be named like this once that is done, your plugins can be added. thank you. |

Adds NEL, a creative vibrato plugin, from the awesome-juce Effects list.
This project doesn't use GitHub Releases normally — a single perpetually-updated release (the "plugin" tag) accumulates dated per-platform build links directly in its body text, hosted at
github.com/user-attachments/files/<id>/<filename>. Used the most recent build link per platform; version folder normalized to the most recent build's date (2024.8.9), matching the same author's Hammer-and-Meiszel entry already in the registry.Excluded the Linux build for a real tooling reason worth flagging: its attachment URL and the Windows build's attachment URL both end in the identical filename
NEL.vst3.zip(a GitHubuser-attachmentsquirk — different numeric IDs, same served filename). This breaks the registry's validator, which caches downloads by URL basename — the second file silently gets checked against the first file's already-cached bytes instead of downloading its own, producing a permanent sha256/size mismatch no metadata fix can resolve. Renaming the URL isn't possible either (GitHub 404s if the trailing filename doesn't match exactly). Kept Windows (most consistently maintained per the changelog) and Mac (uniquely named attachment, no collision) — Linux binaries do exist upstream for anyone who wants them manually.Verified via
