KVR Audio

Hey everyone! I'm back. After nearly 20 years away, I've finally gotten back into making plugins (and coding in general). Wow, here's the big updates:

- I've updated and reworked all 22 of the Tweakbench plugins to C++
- All plugins are now native for AU and VST3 on Apple Silicon and VST3 on x64 Windows
- All plugins are now at version 4.0, and many had significant reworking of internals
- No old presets or patches will work with the new versions, but there are new presets now!
- I've relaunched a new tweakbench.com website for purchases and account management
- Still no DRM, still efficient, no-nonsense wacky collection of plugins

If you previously purchased the Tweakbench Bundle of the 3.0 plugins, email support@tweakbench.com and I'll find some way to get upgrades going. For everyone else, I've created a relaunch coupon code "KVR2025" for 20% off any purchases through the end of the year!

I'm excited to be back, and most excited that I now have a stable cross-platform development setup for making new plugins!

Wow, blast from the past, welcome back!

I *think* I bought a bundle or something so I could download them all in one go..? I'll dig through my old emails, they may have been the first plugins I ever bought...

Good to have you back.

Wow, I did not expect these to reappear in 64bit land. I had most of these back in the day .... were they free or was I just a naughty student who should've known better back in the early 00s ?

Glad to see Tweakbench plugins resurrected. Any chance these new versions have resizable UI?

I currently just scaled the UI's to 2x for HiDPI screens, but I'm looking into a full visual re-work and part of that will be resizeable UI. JUCE 8 seems to support it out of the box!

Padawan sounds familiar but maybe I'm thinking of Star Wars.

Welcome back tweakbench!

I'll be getting lots of changes up and running quickly. Just today I added code signing on MacOS, a pkg installer, and fixed a bug with the website. Also currently working on a RC-20 style vintage plugin as my first fully new design.

Hello, welcome back! I remember your plugins cuz the unique GUI style. I pasted tweakbench.com in google search by accident and you site pops up at the top of the list with the following headlines: "Tweakbench - Unique 32bit VST Plugins for Windows DAW ..."

Cheers!
