Unusable Engineering

Over-engineered DSP solutions with simple interfaces

We build plugins the hard way so they feel easy in real sessions. Some rework classic signal paths with deeper modelling. Others explore new scientific metaphors and control ideas. Different approach, same goal: expressive tools with clear controls and strong musical sweet spots.
