Vocalbox Bassbox Glowbox Groovebox

Instruments for dark electronic music

I made these plugins for myself, around the way I work in FL Studio, and decided to share them here for free.

Heads up: I'm a producer, not a professional developer. I've tested every plugin in my own projects, but save often and tell me if something breaks.

Installing

Where it goes

Copy the .vst3 folder to C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\, then in FL open Options › Manage plugins and click Find installed plugins.

The files aren't code signed yet, so Windows may say "unknown publisher". Click More info, then Run anyway.

Questions

How do I get the plugin?

After checkout you get a download link on the page and by email. Keep the email: the same link gets you updates.

Does it work in other DAWs?

I build and test them in FL Studio. Other Windows DAWs that load VST3 should work, but dragging audio out is made for FL.

Is there a Mac version?

Not yet. If enough people ask for one, I'll make it.

Who made these?

Me, PJ. I'm a producer, not a professional developer. I built these around my own workflow and test every version in my own FL Studio projects. If something crashes or acts strange, the contact form below goes straight to me.

What does early access mean?

The plugins work, but I'm still fixing bugs and adding things. Your download link always gets you the latest version.

Are they really free?

Yes, for now. Enter €0 at checkout, or pay what you like.

Why do I need to check out for a free plugin?

So you get a download link by email that always points to the newest version. Payments go through Polar, so your card details never touch this site.

Bugs and questions

Tell me what went wrong or what you'd like to know, and I'll reply by email. For bugs, add the plugin version and what you did right before it happened.
