Plugin
Every Audiogarden plugin plays on its own in your DAW. Audiogarden Clipper, for one.
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.
CONCEPT
The whole idea in three steps
Module
In Audiogarden Core the same plugin is a module. Stack modules in eight slots, in any order.
Movement
The sequencer and modulation move the knobs of every module. Drag a lane onto a knob with its cable.
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 knobs in any slot in motion.

Questions
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.
