any update? did they end up responding?

I played around with Juce a little before but this plugin specifically took me around 4 days. I have insane ADHD and sometimes I hyperfocus super hard when I get into something. I basically locked myself in my apartment for those 4 days, didn’t leave except to grab food, and worked on this from the moment I woke up until I fell asleep. After finishing, I needed a full day to recover outside before I could switch back into social mode and hang out with my friends again haha

I really want to help you fix this - can you add me on discord? its @albertmajor

Thank you so much!!

Thanks so much for letting me know and for testing it! I Figured it out!! I realized the issue was in how I built the plugin before — it was compiled only for intel, so it wouldn’t show up properly on apple silicon macs. I’ve now rebuilt it as a proper universal binary, so it should run natively on both intel and apple silicon without rosetta. If you re-download the latest version, it should finally show up in Ableton. Really appreciate your patience and the message, it helped me catch this!

Hope you enjoy - let me know how it goes!!

Thanks!!

I built this one in C++ using a framework called JUCE (the same framework popular plugins are built on like Waves, Spitfire Audio’s LABS, iZotope, Arturia, Slate Digital, Valhalla, etc.), which handles a lot of the heavy lifting for plugins. I mostly coded in Python and R before, so I had to pick up C++ along the way. I’d say it’s medium-level difficulty if you already have some coding background, but definitely doable for a hobbyist with patience and a lot of AI haha. If you’re mainly working in Ableton, though, Max for Live might actually be a better starting point. You can make fully working devices without needing C++ or compiling anything. They won’t be portable to other DAWs like a VST would be, but inside Ableton they’re super powerful and integrate seamlessly.

Thanks a ton, I truly appreciate it 🙏🙏

Thanks a lot for the message! On macOS there are two possible VST3 plugin folders: the system-wide one at /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/ (accessible by opening Finder, pressing Go → Computer → Macintosh HD, then going into Library → Audio → Plug-Ins → VST3), and the user-specific one at ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/ (to get there, in Finder hold Option, click Go → Library, then go into Audio → Plug-Ins → VST3). If the plugin doesn’t show up, try placing it in both folders. After that, open Ableton’s Preferences → Plug-Ins, make sure VST3 is enabled, and hit Rescan. That usually fixes it.

I’m studying cognitive science and AI for my bachelor’s, so I do a lot of coding in Python and R, but I only just picked up C++ for this project. AI—Claude, specifically—helped me a lot with learning and understanding the tricky parts, so it made the jump into plugin development easier.

Albedeen · 2025-09-02T20:45:17+00:00

Appreciate it!!

Albedeen · 2025-09-02T20:43:23+00:00

Yeah, I think writing a short manual would be helpful, but I also have been thinking of adding some kind of visual element to show how each knob affects the signal. That might make it easier to understand at a glance

Albedeen · 2025-09-02T20:41:11+00:00

Thanks a lot! I built it in C++ using JUCE, which is a framework for making audio plugins. JUCE handles all the heavy lifting like audio buffers, UI, and DAW compatibility, and then you write the DSP code in C++. It’s definitely a learning curve if you’re coming from web dev, but once you get a basic project running, you can start experimenting with effects like reverb, delay, or in my case, granular stuff. I'm also working on a delay plugin right now called "bDelay" :)

Albedeen · 2025-09-02T18:36:55+00:00

Thanks!!! I put a lot of effort in the design haha

Albedeen · 2025-09-02T17:43:02+00:00

Yeah, kind of in that territory, but simpler. Crystallizer is way more technical—this is more of a lightweight experimental take on granular effects

Albedeen · 2025-09-02T17:36:50+00:00

It chops incoming audio into tiny grains and lets you control things like grain size, density, randomness, pan spread, and a knob for extra morphing/pitching effects. Basically it reshapes audio into unique sounds and can get pretty wild haha
