ShinRonin ~ Modular Filter & Delay


ShinRonin is a ground-up rebuild of Ronin, one of the earliest plugins we ever shipped, first released in 2003. The original paired two delay lines with a set of morphing filters and two fully patchable routing matrices, and it earned a cult following for the strange feedback networks and self-oscillating textures you could build inside it. Twenty years on, we have rebuilt it for modern systems, kept the architecture that made it worth remembering, and released it for free.

Two independent delay lines, each with tempo sync, reverse, looping, and feedback, feed a pair of morphing multimode filters that sweep continuously from notch through lowpass, bandpass, and highpass. There is saturation, two LFOs, and an envelope follower. Everything connects through two on-board matrices: a signal matrix that routes any audio source to any destination, and a modulation matrix that wires the LFOs, envelope, and incoming MIDI to nearly any parameter. It is happy doing clean stereo delays and gentle filtering, but the real fun starts when you patch a feedback loop and let it misbehave.

SC55-CLAP ~ Nuked SC-55 CLAP Plugin


Nuked SC-55 CLAP is a CLAP audio plug-in built upon J.C. Moyer’s fork of nukeykt’s Nuked-SC55, an emulation of the Roland SC-55 Sound Canvas MIDI module.

Unlike the original Nuked-SC55, this version has no graphical user interface. It reacts to MIDI messages like an external MIDI module and is intended for retro gaming, hobby music, and research.

The plug-in supports ROM versions from several original SC-55 models, including the SC-55 v1.00 through v2.00 and SC-55mk2 v1.01. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux. The project is based on the original MAME license, which includes restrictions on commercial use, including commercial music production and inclusion in commercial software packages.

The project describes its purpose as helping preserve DOS gaming history while providing historically accurate SC-55 sound through a modern CLAP plug-in.

Note: The plug-in requires ROM dumps from the original hardware; the ROMs are not included with the project.

OBS-vst3 ~ OBS Safe VST3 Host


Native VST3 audio effects for OBS Studio on Windows — isolated plug-in hosting, vendor GUIs, automatic discovery, state restore and dry fail-open recovery.

Why this project exists

OBS Studio’s built-in VST filter does not provide VST3 hosting. Many current studio EQs, compressors, restoration tools, reverbs, saturators, limiters and mastering processors are distributed primarily, or only, as VST3s.

OBS Safe VST3 Host adds two OBS-native workflows on Windows:

  • VST 3.x Plug-in — a simple one-effect filter for the common case.
  • VST3 Rack — a separate isolated serial multi-effect chain with a dedicated graphical Rack Editor and broadcast-oriented master console.

Third-party VST3 runtime code, vendor editors and plug-in scanning are deliberately kept outside the OBS process.

EAR Production Suite ~ Audio Definition Model Plugins


The EAR Production Suite (EPS) is a set of VST® plugins for digital audio workstations (DAWs) that enable sound engineers to produce immersive and personalizable content using the Audio Definition Model (ADM) format and to monitor it for any ITU-R BS.2051 loudspeaker configuration using the ITU ADM Renderer. ADM is the only format available for codec-agnostic Next Generation Audio (NGA) productions. Moreover, the EAR Production Suite enables professionals to import and export ADM files, compliant to the EBU ADM Production profile. The VST® plugins are currently optimized for the Reaper DAW, which features an extension interface that is used to import and export ADM files within a BW64 container. The EAR Production Suite was designed to demonstrate the intended use of the ADM in audio production workflows, so that the standards can be adopted in other professional tools in a consistent manner.

Voxengo MSED ~ Mid-Side Encoder Plugin


  • Mid-side encoder/decoder
  • Mid-side stereo widener
  • Stereo imaging
  • Stereo channels swapper
  • 180-degree channel phase flipper
  • Stereo correlation and balance meter
  • Unique “plasma” vector scope

Step into a new dimension of stereo control with Voxengo MSED – a professional, no-compromise free audio mid-side encoder-decoder AudioUnit, AAX and VST plugin designed for audio engineers and creative producers alike.  Whether you’re tightening a mix, widening a synth pad, or repairing phase issues, MSED gives you surgical command over the heart and soul of your stereo image.

At its core, MSED effortlessly splits any stereo track into its Mid (center) and Side (ambient) components – and seamlessly reconstructs them back.  But it doesn’t stop there.  With the “Inline” mode, you can adjust gain, panning, and mute status for Mid and Side channels independently without needing multiple plugin instances.  That means faster workflow, cleaner routing, and zero clutter.

Need to flip phase by 180°, swap channels, or extract only the Mid or Side signal?  MSED handles it instantly.  And with its stunning Plasma Vector Scope, you don’t just hear the stereo field – you see it.  This unique, frequency-aware visualizer places low frequencies at the outer edge and high frequencies toward the center, helping you spot phase issues, balance problems, and correlation irregularities at a glance.

Add to that stereo correlation and balance meters, zero processing latency, and 64-bit floating-point precision, and you have a lightweight yet powerful tool that fits seamlessly into any session.

Voxengo MSED isn’t just a utility – it’s your stereo scalpel.  Clean.  Fast.  Visual.  Essential.

Dynamic Audio Normalizer ~ Advanced Normalization


Dynamic Audio Normalizer is a library for advanced audio normalization purposes. It applies a certain amount of gain to the input audio in order to bring its peak magnitude to a target level (e.g. 0 dBFS). However, in contrast to more “simple” normalization algorithms, the Dynamic Audio Normalizer dynamically re-adjusts the gain factor to the input audio. This allows for applying extra gain to the “quiet” sections of the audio while avoiding distortions or clipping the “loud” sections. In other words: The Dynamic Audio Normalizer will “even out” the volume of quiet and loud sections, in the sense that the volume of each section is brought to the same target level. Note, however, that the Dynamic Audio Normalizer achieves this goal without applying “dynamic range compressing”. It will retain 100% of the dynamic range within each “local” region of the audio file.

The Dynamic Audio Normalizer is available as a small standalone command-line utility and also as an effect in the SoX audio processor as well as in the FFmpeg audio/video converter. Furthermore, it can be integrated into your favorite DAW (digital audio workstation), as a VST plug-in, or into your favorite media player, as a Winamp plug-in. Last but not least, the “core” library can be integrated into custom applications easily, thanks to a straightforward API (application programming interface).
