Instruments
Play them from a keyboard: a modular synth, a modelled electric piano and a drum generator.
Loom
A modular synth for weaving slow, human, slightly broken sounds.
Inspired by felt pianos and rotating arpeggios in the style of Nils Frahm, Buchla plucks and Floating Points' string beds. Every voice is a small modular system you re-wire in the patch bay.
- Two morphing oscillators (sine → triangle → saw → pulse) with FM and 5× unison
- A modelled felt piano: soft hammer, strings, key-bed and damper noise
- West-coast wavefolder and a vactrol low-pass gate
- 8-slot patch bay: 14 sources (including a Lorenz attractor) to 20 destinations
- Arpeggiator with a rotating "Says"-style mode and Chord Pulse
- Ensemble, delay, shimmer reverb and tape, plus Mutate and Rewire to explore
- 12 voices
- 12 presets
- AU · VST3 · Standalone
Tine
The warm Rhodes for ambient chords.
No samples. A modelled tine and tonebar drive a nonlinear electromagnetic pickup, so the harder you play, the more it barks. Then a Suitcase amp and a chain of vintage effects.
- Velocity-driven bark, a glassy bell partial and a neoprene hammer
- Bass notes ring longer than treble; felt dampers and sustain pedal
- Stereo tremolo and autopan, phaser and chorus
- Tape: wow, age, hiss and saturation
- Built-in Nave reverb
- The tines vibrate on screen as you play
- 16 voices
- 26 presets
- ~0.65% CPU (10 voices + FX)

Membrane
One knob takes each drum from drum machine to acoustic kit.
Every instrument has two engines: 808/909-style synthesis and a physical model (struck membranes, snare wires, cymbal partials). Drag the result straight into your DAW.
- Kick, snare, clap, tom, closed and open hi-hat (closed chokes open)
- A Synth ↔ Natural knob on every instrument
- Channel strip per drum: drive, colour, crush, room, level and pan
- Master bus with glue, tape, room and humanise
- Generate, Mutate and Randomize Kit
- 24-bit WAV export, 8 round-robin variations, or drag-and-drop into Ableton
- 6 instruments
- 9 kits
- GM mapping

Guitar
Plug a guitar in: ambient effects, soundscapes, other instruments, or MIDI.
Halcyon
Every effect an acoustic guitar needs to turn into an ambient piece.
A full chain in one plugin, with a Motion LFO that keeps the wah and the reverb gently moving on their own.
- Warm drive, auto-swell (volume swells) and envelope auto-wah
- Sympathetic-string resonator: six tuned strings ring along with your playing
- Reverse delay with grit in the feedback, tempo-syncable
- Shimmer reverb with freeze
- Stereo chorus and a Motion LFO for automatic movement
- Audio effect

Pompeii
The notes you play plant drones that grow into a landscape.
Pitch detection turns every held note into a slowly blooming drone that lingers long after you stop. Your guitar runs through a rotary speaker and a Binson-style multi-head echo, and everything meets in a big shimmer reverb. Pink Floyd at Pompeii, in a box.
- Drone voices that bloom and linger (Rise up to 8 s, Linger up to 30 s)
- Wind that follows how hard you play, plus octave "sparkles"
- Rotary speaker and Echorec-style 4-head drum echo
- Night-sky view: each note raises a mountain on the horizon
- Audio effect

GuitarMorph
Turn a guitar into an organ, a string section or a brass pad, with no MIDI.
A polyphonic spectral engine builds an octave stack from your playing, then formant voicing, swells, vibrato and breath make it sound like another instrument. Chords work too, like a pedal.
- Polyphonic octave stack from −2 to +2 octaves
- Voicing: drive, tone, body and dynamic brightness
- Swell, delayed vibrato, breath or bow noise and ensemble
- Organ, String Machine, Synth Brass, Cello, Trumpet, Sax, Flute, Pipe Organ and more
- 12 instruments
- ~32 ms latency

GuitarMidi
Play any synth from your guitar.
A fast, octave-safe pitch tracker (McLeod method) and a flux-based onset detector turn single notes into clean MIDI. It retriggers repeated notes and follows bends.
- Monophonic tracking with confirm-before-note-on (no glitch notes)
- Pitch-bend mode for slides and vibrato
- Experimental polyphonic mode
- Gate, sensitivity, velocity and MIDI channel controls
- MIDI out
- AU · VST3 · Standalone
In Ableton Live, run the standalone app and send its MIDI through the macOS IAC bus. Other DAWs route plugin MIDI directly.
Vocals
Transparent correction and creative voice design.
Intona
Auto-tune built for accuracy first.
Its tracker measured 0.000 cents of error on test tones from 82 to 880 Hz. The pitch shifter uses epoch-synchronous PSOLA. Correction applies to the melodic contour only, so natural vibrato survives.
- From transparent to hard-tune and robot
- Keeps (or reshapes) your natural vibrato
- Formant control: shift, preserve and gender
- Pitch graph, scale keyboard and MIDI out
- 12 presets
- AU · VST3 · Standalone
Seraph
Tune, harmonise, double and space a voice in one place.
Real-time pitch detection drives a scale-aware auto-tune and a two-voice diatonic harmoniser, followed by a character and space chain.
- Auto-tune with retune speed, from natural to hard robot
- Diatonic harmoniser (2 extra voices) and formant shift
- Doubler, drive, telephone and air character
- Delay and shimmer reverb with freeze, plus a live tuner
- Audio effect
- AU · VST3 · Standalone
Space & Texture
Reverbs, delays, disintegrating loops and granular clouds.
Nave
A big reverb that costs almost nothing.
An 8-line feedback delay network mixed by a fast Hadamard transform. Decay is a true mid-band RT60, measured within ±4%, and the plugin shows its CPU load live.
- 6 modes: Room, Chamber, Hall, Cathedral, Plate, Cloud
- Per-band decay: treble and bass set as ratios of the RT60
- RT60-versus-frequency curve drawn from the real loop filters
- Early reflections, diffusion, modulation and width
- Ducking, 80s gate and freeze
- About 410× realtime, around 0.25% of one core
- 0.25% CPU
- 20 presets

Spool
One button. Hold it, and the tape goes somewhere else.
The big THROW button sends sound to tape and triggers "moves": pitch spirals, reverse, tape dives, rolls and freeze. Built for live sets, with a nod to Four Tet.
- Pitch per repeat: octave, fifth or fourth spirals
- Reverse, filter sweeps, wash and infinite freeze
- Tape Warp: the delay time glides like real tape
- Beat-repeat and roll from 1/4 to 1/32, with pitch per repeat
- Throw or Always modes, latch, and kill-dry for return tracks
- Map it to a MIDI pad in Ableton
- 25 presets + Init
- Tempo sync

Ferric
William Basinski's Disintegration Loops as a plugin.
A recirculating tape loop that gets a little more damaged on every pass. Dropouts grow, the sound darkens, and the loop slowly crumbles into silence. You can watch it happen.
- A wear map that erodes the loop at your chosen Decay Rate and depth
- Wow, flutter, saturation and hiss
- Freeze a loop and let it decay on its own, or heal the tape
- Tempo-synced loop length and an FDN reverb wash
- Audio effect
- AU · VST3 · Standalone
Grainfield
Turn anything into clouds, drones and shimmering textures.
A 64-grain engine with time and spectral freeze, a glitch crusher, ping-pong delay and a shimmer reverb. Use it as a live insert, or freeze and resample.
- Grain position, spray, size, density, pitch, reverse and scan
- 5 grain shapes (Hann, Tukey, Gaussian, Expo, Triangle)
- Spectral freeze (phase vocoder) for endless drones
- Bitcrush, tempo-synced ping-pong delay and shimmer reverb
- 6 presets
- AU · VST3 · Standalone
Experimental & MIDI
Break audio in time, or generate the notes themselves.
Fracture
Break the sound, but in time.
Fracture records your signal continuously and fires glitches on the tempo grid, from a 16-step pattern or a weighted random generator. Experimental, but always musical.
- 12 effects: repeat, reverse, tape stop, spin back, pitch, shuffle, skip, gate, crush, filter, freeze, scatter
- 16-step grid with a length per step (1 to 8 steps)
- Generative mode with per-effect Odds, Density and Chaos
- HOLD button to glitch live
- Click-free fades, locked to the host's bar line

MidiMuse
Five MIDI tools in one: from scale correction to endless melodies.
No audio, just notes. MidiMuse snaps, harmonises, arpeggiates, drums and improvises, all locked to tempo.
- Scale Filter and Chordify (one note → diatonic chord, with voicings)
- Arp / Live, including a Frahm-style evolving broken-chord mode
- Drums: 16-step grid with swing, humanise, ghost snares and flams
- Random: constrained melodies you can lock or re-roll
- 16 scales, latch, free-run and panic
- MIDI in → MIDI out
- AU MIDI-FX · VST3 · Standalone

"Unidentified developer"?
These plugins aren't notarised by Apple yet, so macOS blocks them after download. Run this in Terminal once after installing:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/*.component xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/*.vst3
