Mango is a modular sound glitcher: route audio through a chain of step-sequenced lanes (gater, grain, delay, distortion, filter, quantizer) where each step can carry its own settings and probabilities. Randomized seeds and per-step duration/curve controls turn static loops into constantly mutating, glitchy textures.
AmbiRR2 places up to 16 mono sources in a virtual box-shaped room and renders the space as either a 1st-, 2nd- or 3rd-order ambisonic stream (AmbiX, ACN/SN3D) or a stereo recording from two virtual microphones with selectable polar patterns. It's a full rewrite of the earlier BiRR/AmbiRR with a realtime-safe, thread-aware architecture: the direct sound and early reflections come from an exact per-source image-source model, while the late reverberation is a single diffuse field shared by every source. Moving a source or the listener never rebuilds the impulse response, so both can be automated freely in the DAW.
TeAr is an advanced polyrhythmic and polyphonic MIDI arpeggiator plugin. It features any number of independent arpeggiator engines, each with its own pattern, subdivision and MIDI output channel, enabling complex, evolving musical phrases and textures.
RhyGa is a simple yet versatile rhythmic gate effect for your DAW. It creates tempo-synced patterns by modulating the volume of an incoming audio signal. With per-step controls for level, pan, duration and an auxiliary send, it turns static pads into pulsating rhythms, adds stutter effects on vocals, or dynamic movement to any track.
Synths

MechanOdd is a polyphonic physical-modelling synthesizer that synthesizes sound by exciting simulated mechanical resonators (strings, plates, membranes and beams) and routing the results through a feedback matrix, effects chains and a modulation engine. It's the new, more powerful and modular successor to StrinGO.
The Black Widow Drums project is the first published drum sampler showcase for FxmeSampler's advanced spatial and processing features. Recorded on a Gretsch Black Widow kit, it uses an original microphone array and signal-processing chain to deliver a studio-ready drum sound.
Image-In is a virtual instrument based on an image buffer read by oscillators that follow a path across the image. LFOs and envelopes can modulate the path, and user images can be imported for even more sonic possibilities.

MoTo (Monitoring Tool) sits after the master track in your DAW to mimic hardware monitor controllers. It lets you switch between four stereo outputs and has mute/dim/solo buttons. Designed with Reaper in mind, but useful in other DAWs too.
PiWheeG (Pitch Wheel Gate) is a MIDI effect plugin that fixes a common problem with some hardware MIDI keyboards whose pitch wheel doesn't return exactly to zero.

BiRR (and her ambisonic sister AmbiRR) were room simulators that emulated the sound produced by two monophonic sources perceived by a listener in a rectangular (2D) or parallelepipedic (3D) room, with adjustable room and source/listener positions, and stereo or first-order ambisonic output. Superseded by AmbiRR2, a full rewrite supporting up to 16 sources and 3rd-order ambisonic output: new projects should use that instead.
StrinGO is a virtual instrument based on coupled waveguide models. These waveguides can be excited by four kinds of exciters: an external input, a basic waveform oscillator, white noise, and a crackling sound generator. Superseded by MechanOdd, a more powerful and modular successor: new projects should use that instead.
