Mixland has released Grey Matter which they describe as an endless playground for sonic experimentation, powered by innovative physics-based modeling that turns real-world circuit strain into limitless creative possibilities. Here's their press release with the details...
Looking at the state of audio software today, it's completely drowned out by vibe-coded plugins void of any human soul. We wanted to break out of that predictable, sterile digital box and build something alive. So we went back to the workbench.
Introducing Grey Matter, an uncaged, physics-based circuit sandbox designed for endless sonic experimentation. Instead of basic static saturation, Grey Matter models real-time kinetic energy, thermal load, and molecular circuit strain. It deforms under load, giving you that rich, unpredictable analog "give" that makes digital distortion feel flat by comparison.
Here's what's under the hood:
• Real-Time Molecular Physics: Component age, thermal load, and circuit strain that react dynamically to your audio.
• Delta-Sigma DAC Emulation: Captures the accidental genius of a cult-classic 90s Hi-Fi converter, delivering smooth high-end roll-off or brutal circuit-bent destruction.
• Zero iLok Hassle: Native Apple Silicon & Windows, lifetime license.
