GOLDSMELT melts the heart of all seven MFKNE effects into one plugin and tunes them to play together. Polish a sound, give it a new character or take it apart completely, all from one panel. Free for macOS and Windows.
GOLDSMELT is the first plugin of the Golden Series. Fourteen controls in three rows take a sound wherever you want it: warmer and wider so it simply sits better, into a new character, or apart into stutter, grains and noise. Eight factory patches show the range, from Golden to Total Ruin.
Cuts, grains and texture follow the same beat, so they land together instead of drifting against each other.
Every stage hears the same signal at the same moment. The hits stay in front, and the room steps back when they arrive.
GOLD adds warmth and air and makes a sound finer, not just louder. It is the only gold knob on the panel.
Simple surfaces, no clutter, no gimmicks. What makes these plugins different is not a louder interface, it is the combination inside: several sound-shaping factors that usually live in separate plugins, brought together so they react to each other.
The strength of a sound-bending idea often gets lost when you split it across five plugins. Here the parameters share one engine and influence one another, so the result is more than the sum of the knobs.
Warping, folding, reshaping, pushing tone into places it would not go on its own. The focus is character and movement, not another clean, safe utility.
A dark, reduced interface that stays out of the way. No trend chasing, no ornament, just the controls that matter and the sound they produce.
Seven single tools came first, and each of them is still free to download and use. Full descriptions and downloads live on the Plugins page.
Unison and octave copies stacked in front of a two-stage fuzz, then grained on the beat grid and pulled over tape.
A ducking delay and reverb whose shimmer pulses on the grid and opens in the gaps of the phrase, over a dry path that stays bit-identical.
Transient shaping, reactive lo-fi texture and upward compression that pulls the sustain up, with the peaks locked to unity.
Delay, reverb, tape-to-bitcrush morph and pitch drift in one tail that ducks under every transient by itself.
Detects every hit and layers a short percussive texture on top, morphing from paper to wood to metal.
A tape delay with a worn transport. Real wow and flutter, capstan pitch glide and self-oscillating drift.
Host-synced beat-repeat, waveshaping and bitcrush under one macro. From subtle stutter to total collapse.
