Familiar hands-on controls. A little attitude in the signal path. We’re building audio plugins for the way you actually mix.
Our first plugin, and the one furthest along. What you see below is the real development build, running test tones with scripted control automation.
Stereo compressor / limiter
Inspired by the Neve 33609
Hardware design target. Plugin builds currently use the earlier skin.
R7 and PRESSURE now have working native interfaces. The Big 25 and Silky previews remain design concepts while their engines take shape.
Stereo saturation / dynamics
Inspired by the Empirical Labs FATSO
In build
Character compressor
Inspired by the Empirical Labs Distressor
In build
Spectral resonance suppression
Adaptive resonance control
In build

Stereo bus compressor
Inspired by the API 2500
In build
Hardware design preview · scripted motion. This is the visual target for the plugin.
No release dates yet. We’d rather get the sound right than hit a calendar.
For VST3-compatible DAWs.
Universal builds for Intel and Apple silicon.
Pro Tools support is planned for later.
A tactile console strip with filters, four-band EQ, compression and gate/expansion. Red DRIVE for harmonic color. Blue OUTPUT for clean level.
Stereo study: two audio meter columns. View mono study with one audio meter. No mixer fader.

The companion stereo bus compressor. A large gain-reduction meter, a SIDECHAIN HPF that reduces bass triggering without cutting bass from the audio, and Auto Fade with a separate RATE control from 1–60 seconds.
Hardware design preview · scripted motion. Native artwork integration is pending.
Original compressor core passed Windows/macOS checks; native Windows/macOS adapter checks, Windows VST3 pluginval and macOS Audio Unit validation passed. Listening qualification remains in development.

40 channels on one page. Named groups such as Drums show Kick, Snare, Toms and overheads. Receive faders control incoming bleed, not track volume. Filter by group or see the whole desk.

Interactive layout study only. All 40 controls share one page; narrow screens scroll horizontally. Example names and connections are not real DAW discovery. Additional sessions would use pages of up to 40; host integration and CPU validation remain unfinished.
Channel E works on its own. The planned companion plugin connects routed channels so real audio can bleed between them—without injected hiss. TALK GROUP chooses which channels interact; the strip’s CROSSTALK knob controls incoming bleed. DRIVE adds harmonic color; OUTPUT adjusts level cleanly.
The 40-lane grouped core and explicit-routing Windows/macOS hub prototype have passed automated checks. Automatic companion-to-strip routing is not finished. The intended strip control shows OFFLINE until connected; these images illustrate the connected layout. Low CPU use is a design requirement; performance figures will follow measured builds.
Channel E is a scripted design study. Bus G and The Big 25 lead with their hardware design previews; unapproved native test skins stay in the development repository. Final artwork and listening qualification remain in development.
