CHAINIX

One plugin. Eight effects. Endless character. Chainix stacks eight effect modules — Saturate, Filter, Compress, Crush, Chorus, Delay, Reverb, and Noise — into a single reorderable chain. Enable the ones you want, drag to reorder the signal flow, and dial in warmth, grit, movement, and lo-fi texture without loading an entire rack of plugins. Sculpt it live with the Hex Pad and modulate the whole thing with the Flux engine — built for tech house, glitch, and texture.

Chainix — An 8-module multi-FX chain processor — plugin interface for macOS (AU, VST3, Standalone)

INSTALLATION

3 steps. Takes 30 seconds.

1

RUN THE INSTALLER

Double-click the .pkg file. Choose AU, VST3, or Standalone.

Signed & notarized by Apple — it installs cleanly, no security warnings, no "Open Anyway."
2

CHOOSE YOUR FORMATS

The installer lets you pick AU (Logic, GarageBand, Ableton), VST3 (Ableton, Reaper, Bitwig, FL Studio), and the Standalone app. Install takes a few seconds.

3

OPEN YOUR DAW

Restart your DAW and rescan plugins if needed. Find Chainix under Remi Blaze in your plugin list.

FEATURES

Core Architecture

8-Module FX Chain — Saturate, Filter, Compress, Crush, Chorus, Delay, Reverb, Noise
Drag-and-drop reordering — change the signal flow of all 8 modules in real time with 20ms crossfade protection
Per-module enable/disable and per-module save/load presets
Zero latency — no oversampling, no look-ahead

FX Modules

Saturate — 3 modes (Tape, Tube, Clip) with analog-modeled waveshaping and fold-back distortion
Filter — State Variable Filter (LP/HP/BP), 20Hz–20kHz with resonance
Compress — 3 tone modes (Punch, Glue, Squash) with parallel mix
Crush — continuous bit depth (2–16 bits) and sample rate reduction
Chorus — stereo quadrature LFO with rate and depth
Delay — tempo-synced (1/16–1/2) with filtered feedback and soft clipping
Reverb — size, damping, and independent wet/dry mix
Noise — 4 types (Vinyl, Tape, Static, Room) with wobble, sidechain ducking, and tone shaping

Global Controls

PHAT macro — boosts saturation drive, bass shelf, compression, and reverb size together
TRASH macro — increases distortion, bit crushing, noise, and feedback together
Flux Engine — Perlin-noise organic parameter drift with Flux Link for unified amount
Sub-Anchor — LR4 crossover keeps bass clean while the chain colors mids and tops
Master Mix (constant-power crossfade), output gain (-24 to +6dB), and true bypass

Hex Pad

2D XY performance controller with 6-corner mapping: Space, Flux, Heat, Crush, Wobble, Filter
Real-time cursor trail and a pulsing hexagonal outline tied to output level
Morph — automated cursor movement (Circle, Star, Triangle, Random Walk) with tempo-synced rate
IGNITE — randomize Hex position instantly

Performance & Chaos

Randomize (RND) and Entropy Shuffle — randomize parameters, or order and parameters together
Per-module locks — protect modules from RND and SHUFFLE, persisted across sessions
A/B snapshot toggle with constant-power crossfade
Freeze Chain — capture audio into a loop buffer via UI button or MIDI CC (learnable)
Evolve — slow organic parameter drift; Half Speed — record-then-playback octave-down
Wet Lock — forces 100% wet output for send/return setups

Chain Seeds & Presets

Chain Seed — encode the entire chain state into a compact alphanumeric seed; copy and load via clipboard
18 factory presets (Retro Crush Classic, Lo-Fi Tape, Vinyl Warmth, Space Echo, Warehouse Glue, Full Destruction, and more)
Full save/restore via JUCE ValueTree state

Safety & Build

NaN/Inf protection, hard limiter, and adaptive DC blocker on heavy saturation or crushing
Hard-mute overload protection with smooth recovery, plus full parameter smoothing
Universal Binary (Intel + Apple Silicon), AU/VST3/Standalone

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is Chainix free?

No. Chainix is a paid plugin — a one-time purchase, no subscription. Once it's yours, you own it, including future v1.x updates. If you want a free taste of the engine first, grab Chainix Raw.

What are the 8 modules in the chain?

Saturate, Filter, Compress, Crush, Chorus, Delay, Reverb, and Noise. Each one has its own enable toggle, and you can drag them into any order to change the signal flow in real time — with a 20ms crossfade so reordering never clicks.

What is the Hex Pad?

A 2D XY performance controller that maps six corners — Space, Flux, Heat, Crush, Wobble, and Filter — to the chain. Drag the cursor to morph the whole sound at once, or let Morph animate it automatically along a Circle, Star, Triangle, or Random Walk path, tempo-synced to your project.

What do the PHAT and TRASH macros do?

PHAT boosts saturation drive, bass shelf, compression, and reverb size together for instant weight. TRASH pushes distortion, bit crushing, noise, and feedback together for instant grit. Two knobs, two directions — clean-and-thick or dirty-and-destroyed.

What is a Chain Seed?

Chain Seed encodes your entire chain — module order, enables, every parameter, and all mode selections — into a compact alphanumeric string. Copy it to the clipboard to save or share a sound, and load a seed to recreate an exact chain instantly.

Does Chainix support Apple Silicon?

Yes. Chainix is a Universal Binary that runs natively on Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) and Intel Macs, with zero added latency — no oversampling, no look-ahead.

START FREE WITH CHAINIX RAW

Not ready to commit? Chainix Raw puts a curated FX rack behind a single knob — free forever.

Chainix Raw runs the same engine through one CHAIN knob with automatic gain compensation — saturation, glue, width, delay, and reverb scaled together and auto-leveled, zero-latency. When you want to reorder the rack and dial every effect by hand, the full Chainix is on the way.
