Audio tools · one maker · since 2014

Mixing tools,
built like instruments.

I measure the things I want to hear and build them into plugins, with panels you would want on your desk. A dynamic EQ that sees every track in the session. A saturator with five circuits learned from tape, consoles and valves. The guitar-to-MIDI that started it all.

Every plugin has a free trial · VST3 · AU · macOS · Windows · Linux · one-time purchase

From the workshop

Measured first,
then made.

I start with the thing I want to hear and measure it: stimulus in, response out, thousands of cases. Then I model it until the two are hard to tell apart, and I keep the measurements, not the opinions.

The Saturator's five circuits are learned from that kind of data, each sitting between filters that are exact tables. Its front panel is a 3D object, brushed plate and walnut cheeks, lit under a studio rig and rendered; what you see on this page is the same object you get in the plugin.

Nothing here phones home or needs an account to run. A license is a file. When you write, you reach me, and I usually answer the same day.

“I've been building guitar→MIDI tools under the MiGiC name since 2014 — the software and hardware I always wanted as a player. MiGiC is run independently, by one person, from a workshop in Sweden. The code, the support replies, the roadmap: all me.”
