Disarray is an XY pad inspired by the KAOSS pads, letting you control several effects at once – ideal for slow builds, quick drops, effect riding and soundscapes. You can map any parameter to the XY space radially or linearly and control up to 8 parameters on up to 4 effects at once, while trigger and freeze functions let effects pop in and out at a touch or stay on while...

Compressor by Stagecraft is a versatile plug-in for shaping dynamic range – a generalist tool that covers most needs as both compressor and expander. Alongside the usual downward compression, the plug-in also handles upward compression as well as upward and downward expansion, so it can shape your sound as a denoiser, limiter, expander or gate. For advanced users there is a...

Simple Stems splits audio into separate stems by drag and drop – locally on your computer, without waiting queues, and either as a plug-in or as a standalone application. Simple Stems is extremely easy to use: drop your audio onto the splitter, wait a moment for the stems to appear, then drag them straight into your DAW or onto your desktop. The new files are automatically...

Universal Plugin loads VST, VST3 and AU plug-ins in any host, so you can use your favourite plug-ins even in DAWs that do not support their format. Many DAWs only load certain plug-in formats: Logic Pro and GarageBand load Audio Units but not VSTs, Pro Tools only its own AAX format, Bitwig VST but not AU, and Luna only Audio Units. Universal Plugin closes this gap by running...

Beat ReBuilder deciphers a beat and adds layers of sound on top – for replacing or augmenting parts of a beat and as inspiration for new MIDI patterns and audio loops. Using advanced audio classification and fingerprinting, Beat ReBuilder detects percussive sounds within audio; you can then layer your own samples on top of the beat, replace it entirely or drag and drop the...

Glitch Machine is a simple plug-in for quickly and easily mixing up your beats – whether you want to spice up a dull beat or completely change its character. Quantisation options make it easy to switch to more complex timing such as triplets or dotted note values, and a pitch shift can be quantised to a specific scale, so Glitch Machine keeps up with any beat. Customisable...

Picante shapes tone and adds a touch of light distortion – a tone shaper with graphic EQ, developed in collaboration with Chris Warren, aka Superhoax. The plug-in is a direct collaboration with Chris Warren, aka Superhoax, whose EchoThief impulse response library is the basis of Stagecraft’s modelling reverb of the same name, and it is adapted from his Picante Max for Live...

Theremin Synth takes the theremin as a template for a new way to control a mono synth – for vintage-style synth leads, productions and sound effects. At its core, Theremin Synth is a mono-voice synth geared towards vintage-style synth leads, with hard sync and tone control similar to the early modular synths of the great synth pioneers. The novel idea is that, as with a...

ReContour is a versatile distortion and tone shaper that dramatically changes the tone and dynamics of audio – usable in all the ways you might use a compressor or waveshaper. ReContour sits neatly between a compressor and a waveshaper: you get precise control over the transfer function that alters the wave shape, simply by drawing and adjusting the curve, along with attack,...

Scratch Track lets you scratch directly in any DAW – using your own timecode vinyl or popular MIDI platter devices, on samples, loops and whole tracks. Using timecode vinyl inside a DAW usually involves a clunky setup, but Scratch Track is plug-and-play, so you can be scratching within a few minutes. With MIDI platters you adjust sensitivity and friction for perfectly tuned...

Cenere is a subtractive synth with analogue-modelled filters and advanced poly-glide that creates analogue warmth through controlled instability. A meticulously tuned unison engine with component-level drift gives every voice its own subtle, independent movement, creating a thick, shifting sound bed before the signal even reaches the filter stage. The Zero-Delay Feedback...

Parity EQ shapes the tone of your productions like a traditional equaliser and goes a step further by making every point on the EQ curve movable through modulation. Use Parity EQ to keep instruments from crowding the same frequency space or to tame harsh tones in a recording, backed by a very accurate FFT display and a design engineered to sound as clean as possible. Every...
