One thing you can download today, and four instruments in development. Nothing on this page is for sale yet — it is here so the direction is legible.
Nineteen VCV Rack 2 modules for massed tone, harmonic density, microtonal beating and feedback structures. The open-source research line — the DSP that ends up in the commercial instruments is worked out here first, in public.
Pillar: Pressure. A bass architecture plugin for separating, reinforcing and ratio-controlling low-end weight and subsonic pressure. It extracts the bass layer, generates a reinforced sub layer, applies soft saturation and shapes the stereo field, while preserving the original signal at mix.
The point is direct control over the relationship between bass and sub — not a bass boost.
Pillar: Ghost Patterns. Pattern generation from musical negative space — building parts from what is not played rather than what is. Ghost notes, fills, harmonic shadows.
It generates MIDI. It is not an AI model and does not claim to be, and it does not analyse audio.
Pillar: Damage. Warped timing, degraded loops, tape instability and chopped rhythmic decay. Two instruments — Dusted Tape and Screw Phase — for material that is meant to come apart.
Pillar: Pressure. Cadenced bass bursts with recoil, pause, and rumble completion. Bass as an event with a rhythm of its own rather than a sustained tone.
On pricing and dates: there are none yet, and there will not be until each instrument is built to a standard worth charging for. If you want to know when that happens, the list below is the only channel that will tell you.
Release notes and the Branca patch pack. Mail goes out when there is a build worth downloading.
