Ghostix

MIDI-Triggered Multi-FX

"Audio passes through clean until you press a key. Each note triggers a DSP effect — rhythmic gates, bit-crush, reverse, pitch — with envelopes and velocity control. Play your effects like an instrument."

Ghostix — MIDI-Triggered Multi-FX — plugin interface for macOS (AU, VST3, Standalone)
AU VST3 Standalone macOS

INSTALLATION

3 steps. Takes 30 seconds.

1

RUN THE INSTALLER

Double-click Ghostix_Installer.pkg. 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, Cubase), and the Standalone app. Install takes a few seconds.

3

OPEN YOUR DAW

Restart your DAW and rescan plugins if needed. Find Ghostix under Remi Blaze in your plugin list. Because Ghostix is MIDI-controlled, place it on a track that receives both audio and MIDI.

  • Ableton: Plugins › Audio Effects › VST3 (route MIDI to the effect)
  • Logic Pro: Audio Effects › Remi Blaze › Ghostix (MIDI-controlled effect)
  • Reaper: FX › VST3 › Ghostix (feed MIDI to the track)
Security Note: Ghostix is built by Remi Blaze and is signed & notarized by Apple, so it installs cleanly with no security warnings. The plugin is safe to use — no background processes, no network calls, no telemetry.

WHAT IT DOES

Stop drawing automation and start playing your effects. Ghostix turns your MIDI controller into an FX instrument — press a key and an effect fires, hold it to ride the moment, release it to snap back clean. It's the fastest way to build glitchy, rhythmic, performance-ready movement into any track.

Ghostix is a MIDI-controlled multi-FX audio plugin. Audio passes through clean until a MIDI note is pressed. Each key in the C3-C4 range triggers a specific DSP effect with an attack/release envelope — hold a note to sustain the effect, release to fade back to dry. Velocity controls intensity. It turns your keyboard or piano roll into a live performance FX rig.

FEATURES

MIDI-Triggered Effects (13 effects, 3 categories)

Rhythmic Gate (C3-E3) — 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/8 triplet, and 1/16 dotted tempo-synced gates
Crush + Saturation (F3-A3) — 12-bit, 8-bit, 4-bit, and 2-bit crush plus full drive saturation
Reverse + Pitch (Bb3-C4) — 50ms and 100ms buffer reverse, plus +1 octave pitch shift
Hold a note to sustain its effect, release to fade back to dry — velocity controls intensity

Envelope & Performance

Attack (0.1–50ms) and Release (1–500ms) with exponential curves
Intensity (overall effect depth), Velocity Sensitivity, and Velocity Floor — a minimum velocity threshold so soft notes still bite
Latch Mode — notes sustain without holding the key
Macro-Hold (C0) — a single key freezes all active effects in their current state, with an ice-frost UI cue
Ghost Mode — inverts the logic so effects run always-on and notes punch through to dry

Timing & Grid

Gate Sync — gate effects locked to host BPM
Shift-Sync — ±25ms micro-timing offset with PDC delay line and smoothed shift
Humanize — 0–10ms triangle jitter with bar-seeded RNG for natural feel
Snap-to-Grid — PPQ-quantized 1/16 note release with countdown arc indicator

DSP & Audio Safety

Sub-Anchor — 150Hz Linkwitz-Riley LR4 crossover preserves sub frequencies during effects
Blaze Limiter — −0.1 dBFS tanh soft clipper for speaker and hearing protection
Zero-Crossing Sync for click-free effect onset, plus 4-point Hermite interpolation
NaN/Inf protection, hard ceiling, dead-man's switch, and fixed 35ms PDC latency

Mix, Interface & Presets

Crush Mix, Reverse Mix, Master Mix and Output (−24 to +6 dB) with full bypass
FFT spectrum analyzer that ignites during effects, animated ghost mascot, note indicators
14 factory presets, save/load, A/B comparison, randomize, and a panic button
Resizable UI, custom dark theme with green/orange accents

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How much is Ghostix?

Ghostix is a paid plugin — a one-time purchase, yours to keep with no subscription. Prefer to try before you buy? Ghostix Raw gives you a tempo-synced ghost gate for free, forever, as part of the Blaze Essentials pack.

How does Ghostix work?

Your audio passes through clean until you play a MIDI note. Each key in the C3–C4 range triggers a specific DSP effect with an attack/release envelope — hold a note to sustain the effect, release to fade back to dry. Velocity controls intensity, so it plays like an instrument.

What effects can each key trigger?

13 effects across three note zones: C3–E3 fire tempo-synced rhythmic gates (1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/8 triplet, 1/16 dotted); F3–A3 fire bit-crush (12/8/4/2-bit) plus full-drive saturation; and Bb3–C4 fire 50ms and 100ms buffer reverse plus a +1 octave pitch shift.

Do I need a MIDI controller?

You need MIDI input — either a hardware controller or your DAW's piano roll. Because Ghostix is MIDI-controlled, place it on a track that receives both audio and MIDI; routing varies by DAW (Ableton, Logic Pro, Reaper, and Bitwig each have their own method).

Will it protect my speakers and ears?

Yes. The Blaze Limiter is a −0.1 dBFS soft clipper enabled by default, with a hard ceiling, NaN/Inf protection, and a dead-man's switch that auto-resets stuck effects. A Sub-Anchor crossover preserves your low end while effects process.

Does Ghostix support Apple Silicon?

Yes. Ghostix is a Universal Binary that runs natively on Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) and Intel Macs, in AU, VST3, and Standalone formats.
