Vibepatch: From Plugin Idea to Playable Prototype
A $49 package for turning a plain-English audio-plugin idea into a scoped browser prototype, with AI prompts and a guide toward building a native JUCE plugin.
- For
- Musicians prototyping their own audio plugins
- Worth noticing
- The package excludes a compiled VST/AU; building the native plugin is left to the buyer.
Field notes
The workflow starts with a plain-English plugin idea and narrows it into a Will/Build-next/Won't scope before producing a browser prototype on one of four engines: pad/drone, drums, click, or sampler. The listed package includes three worked builds—tremolo, tape-warble chorus, and feedback delay—and a browser-to-JUCE guide; the site says the tremolo JUCE project passed pluginval at strictness 10 for VST3 on Linux. The native plugin is not included, and the buyer must build it on Mac or Windows.
