Hi Folks
I’ve written a x64 VST3 gate/expander/compressor - no strings attached - completely free. This is really great as a noise gate and dynamics processor for distorted guitar.
You can get it here: GitHub - shabtronic/GateXpander: Audio compressor, expander with noise gate functionality
I write these for “fun” 
This one is pretty cool - acts as a really great noise gate, and a compressor/expander.
Have fun!
