Hi KVR — first post here.

I'm im9, an indie developer shipping a small catalogue of MIDI effects. All three below are out now: the Max for Live versions are free, and the native VST3 / AU / CLAP builds are paid (macOS only at this stage).

Oedipa — chord-progression generator on a Tonnetz lattice — $19
Walks a triangular grid of triads one step at a time using P / L / R transformations from neo-Riemannian theory. You arrange a short cyclic pattern of moves, and the plugin streams the resulting chord progression as MIDI.
Demo (VST3/AU/CLAP):
Demo (M4L):

Stencil — Music Thing-style Turing Machine for MIDI — $15
A shift register that cycles between perfect loop and pure noise. The register reads out as a pitch index plus a gate; the "lock" knob controls how often a bit flips on cycle. 1.0 = perfect loop, 0.95 = slowly evolving pattern, 0.0 = pure noise.
Demo (VST3/AU/CLAP):
Demo (M4L):

Pointsman — scale quantizer with optional chord mode and humanize — $15
Snaps incoming MIDI to the nearest pitch in 15 built-in scales (seven diatonic modes, pentatonic, minor-pentatonic, blues, harmonic, melodic, whole, chromatic, chromatic-half). Optional chord mode expands each input note to a diatonic chord. Per-event humanize layer for velocity / gate / timing.
