NODES is a modular audio plugin that lets producers create complex FX racks with a single click, combining 128 effects and 64 modulation sources into fully routed patches in seconds. Users can either drag sliders to generate patches live or select specific effects and let the software auto‑wire the routing, enabling rapid sound design across VST3, AU, macOS, Windows, and Linux platforms.

Problem
Music producers often spend extensive time manually routing dozens of audio effects and modulation sources to create complex sound designs, which slows workflow and limits creative experimentation.
Solution
NODES is a modular audio plugin that lets users generate full FX racks with a single click. By offering 128 built‑in effects and 64 modulation sources, the plugin automatically wires selected nodes into a functional patch in seconds, while still allowing manual node‑based editing for deeper control. Users can also build patches in real time by moving six intuitive sliders that dynamically create and color‑code the signal graph. The platform runs as a VST3/AU plugin on macOS and Windows, with Linux support planned, providing a single, integrated environment for both rapid prototyping and detailed sound design.
Target Audience
Target users are electronic music producers, sound designers, and mixing engineers who need fast, flexible routing of large effect and modulation collections within their DAW.
Features
- One‑click “Generate” mode automatically routes chosen effects and modulators into a complete patch
- Manual node‑based editor with cable connections, attenuverters, and sum nodes for precise routing
- Six real‑time sliders (Dial, Rhythm, Rage, Space, Wonk, Glitch) that instantly build and visualize patches
- Library of 128 audio effects (filters, EQ, dynamics, distortion, reverb, delay, etc.) and 64 modulators (LFOs, step sequencers, generators, game‑style nodes)
- Support for VST3 and AU formats on macOS and Windows, with Linux version forthcoming
- Integrated audio I/O buses for sidechain, aux, and stem routing within the same plugin
