mfkne.com builds its own audio plugins. Not another single-purpose box, but the interplay of several factors in one tool, the kind you normally have to chain from separate plugins to get. Built for shaping, warping and reshaping sound.
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.
Every plugin here is free to download and use. The catalogue grows over time. Full descriptions and downloads live on the Plugins page.
Host-synced beat-repeat, waveshaping and bitcrush under one macro. From subtle stutter to total collapse.
A tape delay with a worn transport. Real wow and flutter, capstan pitch glide and self-oscillating drift.
Detects every hit and layers a short percussive texture on top, morphing from paper to wood to metal.
Delay, reverb, tape-to-bitcrush morph and pitch drift in one tail that ducks under every transient by itself.
Transient shaping, reactive lo-fi texture and upward compression that pulls the sustain up, with the peaks locked to unity.
New tools land here as they are finished. Free, VST3, for macOS and Windows.
A quick note on installation. Download the ZIP, unzip it and copy the .vst3 into your VST3 folder. On macOS: /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3 (or ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3). On Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3. The plugins are not code-signed yet, so your system may warn you during install. You can safely ignore that and continue. Every download here is guaranteed virus-free.
