Pricing
Why pay more than the minimum?
£14.99 covers the build and keeps the plugin maintained. It is yours to use forever once you buy it.
Pay the suggested £19.99 and the extra goes directly into the next Monolit Beatz plugin. Even a small amount above the minimum helps keep solo DSP work moving.
Features
What is inside
Draw-it graphic EQ
Draw a 12-band peaking EQ straight onto the scope (~30 Hz–16 kHz, ±12 dB). Fully automatable and saved with presets.
Optical compression
LA2A-style dynamics with program-dependent tracking, 3:1 and 12:1 ratios and tube-harmonic weight.
LFO routing
Five waveforms into five destinations, free-running 0.1–50 Hz or BPM-synced from 1/1 to 1/32 with triplets.
Sub Guard
A variable-slope 50–200 Hz crossover keeps your low end out of the distortion.
Live oscilloscope
Zero-crossing triggered, with an XY-morph view and the graphic-EQ overlay — fed off the audio thread.
automated assertions passing; every build validated with pluginval at strictness 10 and auval.
current release — Windows, macOS and Linux builds from CI.
free and open source — ready-made builds for every platform, plus support, come through the shop.
