Draw the build.
Every effect has its own colour-coded lane. Draw points, bend curves or drop an LFO — pitch, filters, reverb, gate and width rise together into the drop.

One shot.
Endless motion.

A dedicated blue-accented control section.
Shown above: the actual plugin, exactly as it opens in your DAW.
The concept: turn a single hit into a rhythmic pattern. Explore the shapes and find a new direction.
Real screens from the plugin — no mock-ups.
Every effect has its own colour-coded lane. Draw points, bend curves or drop an LFO — pitch, filters, reverb, gate and width rise together into the drop.

Glitch, tape stop, stutter and reverse rows stack above the build. Each row has its own switch, so the movement stays readable.

Steps or MIDI in one click. Swing, long hits, rate patterns — drag MIDI in from your DAW or out to it.

Classic pump shapes or your own, split across low, mid and high. The kick gets its room without another plugin.

Three free LFOs that sync to the host and target any parameter — and every parameter lands in your DAW’s automation.

Reverb, echo, width, tape and pitch with band selection, plus compressor and limiter. Print it, drag it, done.

A stab. A hit. A tiny piece of something interesting. The concept starts with the one-shot that makes you stop and listen.
Chops, rhythmic patterns, rising energy or melodic motion. Explore a direction and shape it around your own idea.
Keep the musical thought moving. The final plugin workflow, controls and export options will be detailed after technical validation.
One instrument plugin that builds, chops, sequences, sidechains and finishes the sound — every parameter automatable from your DAW.
