Sample packs

Drum kits, one-shot kits, loops and presets — recorded in-house and royalty-free. The first libraries are being cut.

KINEVA

Free. Your phone is the controller.

An effects instrument built around one XY pad. Scan a code and your phone drives it over your own Wi-Fi — move, record the movement, let it loop.

What it does

  • Pair your phone

    Scan the QR code in the plugin and your phone becomes a touch surface over the local network. No app, no account, no internet.

  • One pad, every effect

    The X and Y axes each morph a setting on every effect you put on the pad, so one gesture moves the whole chain.

  • Record the movement

    Capture a gesture and it plays back as a loop — automation you performed rather than drew.

  • Dice & Reroll

    Dice randomises the settings of the effects on the pad. Reroll swaps which effects are on it.

HALO

Vocal transformation & echo engine.

A recorded fragment becomes an instrument. Catch a phrase, freeze it, push it through five ways of pitching and six echo machines — then play it from a keyboard.

The HALO plugin window: a frozen voice fragment in the display above the record, transform and echo controls

Four moves

  1. 01Record

    Hold RECORD and sing — or reach back with CAPTURE for the last few seconds the buffer already heard.

  2. 02Freeze

    Cut the fragment off from the input. From then on it stays what it is; overdub onto it if you want more.

  3. 03Transform

    Pitch it ±24 semitones, lock it to a scale, move the formant, then add body, age and drive.

  4. 04Play

    MIDI notes play the fragment — gated or enveloped, with glide, reverse and drone.

Five characters

Five ways of pitching, not five tone colours.

  • Air
  • Choir
  • Glass
  • Prism
  • Void

Six echo machines

Digital
Clean and diffuse — the default.
Tape
Deep wow and flutter, head bump, a core with memory.
Bucket
Longer means slower means darker. The noise breathes.
Oil Can
A disc turning in oil — metallic, swirling, never still.
Multi Tap
An early-eighties rack: fixed taps, 12-bit output.
Tube
Drum heads into a tube stage — repeats get warm, not loud.
