01 / Our first paid release

Kerf Modulators for REAPER

Envelopes, LFOs, steps and followers for every plugin on a track, docked in REAPER and saved with the project. No routing.

£19 during the beta£29 at 1.0Free to try, no time limit

Docked in REAPER

Macros, the plugin and its modulators side by side in one panel, docked in REAPER. This is the real thing: scroll the dock, drag a node, turn a knob.

Draw the envelope

Add, drag and curve nodes. Free, tempo-synced or one-shot, with delay, jitter and a loopable section.

The MSEG editor

Shapes that keep time

Sine, triangle, saw and square, in hertz or locked to the project tempo, with depth and phase.

The LFO

Follow any track

Turn a track's level into movement, with attack, release and depth. The source can be the same track or another one.

The envelope follower

One modulator, many targets

Map a modulator to up to twelve parameters, each with its own amount and polarity.

A modulator mapped to several parameters

Macros that belong to the track

Every track has four macro knobs from the moment it exists. Name them, drive them from modulators, and reach them from other tracks.

Track macros

Saved with the project

Every track's modulators, curves and maps go into the .RPP and come back on load. They keep running when the panel is closed.

02 / Coming soon

OL‑2

Levelling compressor

Smooth levelling that catches quickly and lets go slowly, and slower still the harder you push it. Two knobs, one needle, and it does what you expect.

Extensions · Kerf Modulators · Analyse 1

For REAPER

A REAPER extension is a native add-on that REAPER loads when it starts. It can dock a panel, read the project and drive any plugin, with nothing inserted on a track. We make two: Analyse 1, free when it launches, and Kerf Modulators, coming soon at a £19 beta price.

Right-click a clip to trim, clean up, fade, pitch, time-stretch or fold it to mono, and see every change on the waveform before you commit. Your original sample is never touched. Needs the Ableton Live 12 Suite beta, 12.4.5 or later.
