GHOSTWARE · PLUGIN NO.01 · AU / VST3 / STANDALONE
There is a ghost in your machine.
GhostInTheMachine is the first plugin from GhostWare — a modular multi-effect that listens. 33 reorderable DSP modules, a 10-macro polish layer that rides after your chain, and GhostMode: a one-knob smart chain that analyzes your audio and builds the effect rack for you.
One-time purchase. No subscription. Offline analysis is free forever.

The Studio
GhostWare builds haunted plugins.
GhostWare is a studio for audio software with a personality problem — tools that listen back, react to what you feed them, and occasionally judge your mix. GhostInTheMachine is our first release: a full modular multi-effect, and the blueprint for everything the ghost builds next.

GhostMode
One knob. Twenty personalities.
Capture a loop, hit Analyze, and the ghost prescribes a complete effect chain tuned to what it hears — then hands you a single intensity knob.
- 20 styles, from Clean and Warm to Glitch, Vinyl and full Mangle.
- Capture-driven: the chain is built from analysis of your audio, not a static preset.
- Honest exclusivity: when GhostMode is engaged, it is the only thing you hear — no half-mixed mud.
- Inspectable: open the smart chain and see exactly which modules the ghost chose.
The Rack
33 modules. Any order. Your chain.
Start from a blank rack and add exactly what the sound needs — surgical EQ, tape, granular clouds, spectral freeze, a vocoder. Drag to reorder; the engine crossfades the swap so it never clicks.
EQ & Dynamics
Two EQs plus a dynamic one, multiband dynamics, transient shaping, bass control with kick-ducking, clipper and limiter.
Glitch & Texture
Granular, Beat Repeat, Reverse, Tape Stop, Stutter/Gate with per-step velocity lanes, and Spectral Freeze.
Time & Modulation
A 16-tap Delay Designer, reverb, chorus, flanger, vibrato, ring mod and a frequency shifter for barberpole drifts.
The Polish Layer
Ten macros that never fight your chain.
Enhance, Punch, Air, Warmth, Width, Grit, Motion, Space, Glue, Loudness. The macros drive a dedicated zero-latency enhancer stage that sits after your chain — they polish the result instead of secretly bending your module settings.
- Always live — even while GhostMode has the rack locked.
- Bit-exact neutral: at rest, the stage is a true passthrough.
Optional AI
Feed the ghost. Or don't.
Analysis runs on your machine, free, forever. Flip on the AI layer and Analyze consults the GhostWare service instead — a model that knows every module, honors your chosen style and mood, and verifies its own work by rendering before it answers.
- Privacy-first: by default only a compact fingerprint of the capture is sent, never your audio.
- Verified output: every AI chain is render-checked — clipping results are never published.
- Credit-metered: one credit per Analyze, refine rounds included. Credits never expire.
- Graceful: unreachable service? Analyze silently falls back to the offline engine.
The Mascot
It reacts to everything you do.
The resident ghost rides your signal energy through six escalating tiers — idle, warming, engaged, heavy, wild, total annihilation. Purely cosmetic, entirely judgmental.
