Satin Funk

Envelope Filter

An auto-wah with two personalities. Buttery and vocal at one end, full quack at the other — a Moog-style ladder keeps the low end fat while a vowel peak sweeps the formant range.

$12INTRO

Velvet Console

70s Character

Tape saturation with a low-end head bump, wow and flutter, a parallel pump that leaves your transients intact, and a top-end sheen borrowed from an old noise-reduction trick.

Drums, then vocal — dry, then wet

Anthemic Shimmer

Shimmer Reverb

Takes a small dry sound and opens it into something wide and anthemic — an octave-up halo over a long tail, without burying the source you started with.

Installing

These builds aren't Apple-notarized yet, so macOS will quarantine them on first download. Three minutes fixes it:

Unzip. Copy the .component into ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components and the .vst3 into ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3. In Finder press ⌘⇧G and paste the path.
Open Terminal, paste this, press return:

xattr -cr ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/*.component ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/*.vst3

Fully quit and reopen your DAW. All three live under Satin Press.

Each download also contains an INSTALL.txt with the same steps.

Honest reactions are worth more than downloads. What flatters, what it ruins, what knob you wish existed — brutal is more useful than nice.
