Our products
Snorkel
A generative synthesizer for discovering musical ideas you'd never find on your own. Patterns, arpeggios, chords, and a full synth engine, all connected by deep randomization that surfaces real ideas instead of random noise. Every parameter is right there to shape the moment something catches your ear.

Wave Collider
An audio effect that blends two signals through 22 modes: vocoders, ring mod, spectral splice, probabilistic gating, scrub, and more. Drop in two sounds and explore the space between them, all driven by a 16-step modulator that keeps things moving.

Little Arp Monster
An arp that goes beyond. Little Arp Monster is a MIDI arpeggiator that pairs with any synth you own. Build rhythmic and melodic patterns on its 16-step grid by mixing chords, single notes, and rests. Turn up the Spice dial when you want adventurousness, and shape tone step by step with a dedicated modulation lane.

Little Drum Machine
A free drum machine for desktop and iPad: easy to use, all the necessary bits, none of the frills. Eight drum lanes with per-step velocity, musical Randomize and Mutate, scenes chained into full arrangements, a built-in mixer, and MIDI out. Start with the built-in sounds or load your own samples.

Little Duck
A free tempo-synced ducker: no sidechain input to route, just pick a rate and it pumps your track to the beat. Depth, Attack, Release, and Shape dials take you from a gentle breathe to a hard, classic scoop, with a live curve display so you can see exactly what's being ducked.

Introducing Little Drum Machine and Little Duck
Two free plugins we first built for ourselves: Little Drum Machine, a fast drum machine, and Little Duck, a tempo-synced ducker. Simple takes on familiar tools, now free for everyone.
