SynthAUVST3macOS
Curves & Membranes
A one-oscillator mono synth built around Bézier wave shaping, orbital motion, and a membrane-style filter model.
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.

GranularAUVST3macOS
Grain Discharge
A cavitation-driven granular effect where fluid simulation events spawn grains from recent input audio history.
DynamicsAUVST3macOS
Spectral Pressure Chamber
A thermodynamic multiband compressor where spectral pressure drives dynamics and color.
DistortionAUVST3macOS
Cavitation Fractures
A fluid-dynamics distortion that creates transient fracture, unstable texture, and controlled collapse.
EffectAUVST3macOS
Frequency Guillotine
A 16-band spectral slicer for vocoder-style shaping, stereo motion, and rhythmic chaos.
ModulationAUVST3macOS
Ensemble Diffuser
Dual-circuit modulation with stringer-style ensemble motion and hot vintage-inspired phasing.
FilterAUVST3macOS
Harmonic Dissector
Dual parallel resonant filters for stereo carving, modulation motion, and harmonic edge.
ReverbAUVST3macOS
Tension Reactor
A physically modelled spring reverb with reactive tank behavior, metallic depth, and unstable tails.

Updates to all plugins and a small, useful gift
A fresh update round is live across the lineup: resizable UIs, workflow fixes, a new Curves & Membranes preset system, and Grain Discharge now available for existing Full Suite and Scientist Suite owners.
8 May 2026
Curves & Membranes v1.1.0 update available
A smaller Curves & Membranes update is out now with MTS-ESP microtonal support, new Wave Bezier Preset slot enable/disable behavior for polymetric sequencing, and smaller bug fixes.

All plugins have been updated
New standard knob movement is now in place across all plugins, and bundle owners now get one simpler installer for everything included. I have also added a short update on what is currently happening in the lab, including early work on Windows-compatible versions and a couple of new plugin ideas.
