Two audio plugins, hand-built for people who measure their listening rooms. Pay what you want — including nothing. If the work helps you, throw something in the tip jar.

§01 Janus LINEAR-PHASE LR CROSSOVER · VST3
Janus plugin interface — HPF and LPF sections, latency mode selector, output meters

Two faces. One signal. Linear phase, by design.

A linear-phase Linkwitz-Riley crossover with symmetric reach in both directions — high-pass on one face, low-pass on the other, sum-flat by construction. Built for multi-way active loudspeakers where phase coherence between bands and minimized audible pre-ringing are non-negotiable.

  • 01 Symmetric FIR. Sum of HPF and LPF is mathematically flat — drop two instances on parallel paths and the magnitude rebuilds exactly.
  • 02 Linkwitz-Riley slopes. From 1 to 48 dB/oct in decimal steps — pick the steepness, keep the phase.No analog-style phase rotation. No magic.
  • 03 Latency modes. Eco / Normal / High-Res — trade pre-ring against latency to fit the source. Reported honestly to the host for delay compensation.
  • 04 HPF, LPF, or both. Per-face enable means one instance can also be a clean linear-phase HPF or LPF — useful in single-band roles too.
VST3/WIN x64 · MACOS UNIVERSAL/44.1 – 192 KHZ/~ 6 MB
§02 MetaHost VST3 PLUGIN HOST · 8 CHANNEL PAIRS · 2 ROWS
MetaHost plugin interface — 8 channel-pair columns, 2 plugin rows per column, signal meter at the top

Sixteen channels in. Any chain. One plugin shell.

A VST3 plugin host that you load inside another VST3 host. Eight channel-pair columns, two slot rows per column — drop a different plugin chain on each stereo pair of a multichannel bus. For active speaker rigs, surround mixes, and anywhere your DAW won't let you route inserts the way you actually need to.

VST3/WIN x64 · MACOS UNIVERSAL/UP TO 16 CH IN/OUT/~ 12 MB
  • 01 16 channels, 8 pairs. Each column owns one stereo channel pair — perfect for active 8-way speaker rigs, 7.1 surround, or stereo with parallel chains.
  • 02 Two-row chain per pair. Stack plugins in series per channel pair — load, bypass with one tap, swap on the fly.
  • 03 Floating editor windows. Each hosted plugin's UI opens in its own resizable window — no nested frames, no clipping.
  • 04 Save & Load state. Full host state — including every hosted plugin's preset — saved to disk or inlined into the parent project.Reload exactly where you left off.

Pay what

These plugins were built because I needed them. Not because there's a market, not because there's a roadmap — because the tools I wanted didn't quite exist in the shape I needed.

If you find them useful, throw something in the tip jar. A few euros buys a coffee and keeps the workshop running. A bigger donation buys parts for the next build, which often becomes the next plugin.

If you can't pay, or don't want to — that's also completely fine. Download for free, no questions, no popup nags, no telemetry. The work is the work either way.

Two rules: no ads, ever. No telemetry, ever. The plugin you download is the plugin you run.
