RetroGrid is a REAPER JSFX plugin for crunchy old-sampler character. It is inspired by the early Fruity Loops sound: clipped samples, ring modulation, reduced bit depth, sample-rate reduction, and the rough 4-bit and 8-bit edges that make small sounds feel direct, cheap, loud, and alive. The plugin is meant as a character effect rather than a clean repair tool. It can push drums, one-shot samples, loops, voices, and game-like sounds into a more damaged digital grid. The built-in scope shows the left and right wavef...

Hearing Guard Plugin Pack is a small set of JSFX plugins for REAPER, made for safer and more comfortable headphone listening while mixing. The basic idea is to avoid wearing headphones louder or longer than necessary. Hearing Guard gives you an estimated A-weighted listening level and daily dose tracking. Headphone Crossfeed adds a little controlled crosstalk between left and right, so headphone listening feels less like hard-separated sound inside your head and a little more like sitting in front of speakers.

Building this website as a live creative process This Kraakwerk website was built through vibe programming: a fast, conversational way of shaping software where the idea, the design and the working code evolve at the same time. Instead of starting with a fixed technical specification, the site grew through small decisions: articles, tags, menus, music projects, galleries, Bandcamp embeds, SoundCloud, standalone code projects and a lightweight admin system. The result is a custom CMS that fits the way Kraakwerk work...

Webbased QLab-style media launcher HT Player is a browser-based media controller for starting live image, video, audio and text cues. It is intended as a lightweight, low-budget alternative to tools like QLab for small performances, installations, try-outs and quick live setups. The player lets you load media, trigger items from a cue list, work with fades and use a separate projector/output window. It is useful when you want to start sound and visuals live without building a heavy show-control system. Open HT Play...
