Audiogarden Core

One rack. Eighteen modules.
Each of them also a plugin.

Stack modules in the rack, let the sequencer move them, and the output keeps an eye on loudness and peaks. All in one window.

The Audiogarden Core rack: eight slots, the Clipper module open, the sequencer and the output

01Concept

The whole idea in three steps.

  1. Plugin

    01

    Plugin

    Every Audiogarden plugin plays on its own in your DAW. Audiogarden Clipper, for one.

  2. ModuleModule

    02

    Module

    In Audiogarden Core the same plugin is a module. Stack modules in eight slots, in any order.

  3. Movement

    03

    Movement

    The sequencer and modulation move the knobs of every module. Drag a lane onto a knob with its cable.

02Signal

How the signal flows.

Left to right: the input, eight slots in a row, the output with its protection. Below them, the lanes that set any knob in motion.

03Versions

We start with Core Lite.

05Plugins

Just one module? Take it as a plugin.

Each plugin has its own window and plays without Core. We add more as we finish them.

06Questions

Before you ask.

I own a plugin. Do I need Core too?

No. Every plugin plays on its own, without Core. If you get Core later, the plugin you own unlocks in it as a module.

When does Core Lite come out?

As soon as all of its modules are finished. Join the beta and you will hear first.

Can I move up to a higher version?

Yes. Moving from Core Lite to Core, or from Core to Core Pro, you pay only the difference in price.

Which DAWs does it work in?

VST3 and AU on macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), VST3 on 64-bit Windows. AAX is on its way.

Try it first.

Testers get every plugin and Core Lite before everyone else.
