Small plugins for melodic electronic music
Each one does one job, uses almost no CPU, and costs what you want to pay. For macOS, made in New York.
Plugins
Three so far. Each has its own screen, its own color and one job.
-
BigCity
One knob adds air and stereo width, from untouched at 0 to full city pop sheen at 100.
- Controls
- City size, bypass
- Type
- Effect
- Formats
- VST3
-
Nemucha
A one-knob stutter and overdrive. It catches bits of what you play, repeats them back and gets grittier as you turn it up.
- Controls
- Mood, chaos
- Type
- Effect
- Formats
- VST3, AU
In beta with a few producers. Coming to Gumroad next.
-
Kumona
A strobe tuner that reads to 0.1 cent. The cloud on its screen rains when you’re out of tune and naps when nothing’s playing.
- Controls
- Mute, screen color
- Type
- Utility
- Formats
- VST3, AU
In beta with a few producers. Coming to Gumroad next.
How they’re made
One job each
BigCity adds air. Nemucha stutters and drives. Kumona tunes. No preset browsers and no menus inside menus.
Light on your CPU
The audio thread never allocates or waits on a lock, and each screen redraws only when something changes.
Pay what you want
Every plugin is on Gumroad with a $0 minimum. Pay if it earns a spot in your sessions.
