KERNIX
Multi-FX Destruction Engine
Kernix takes a dry vocal or synth from clean warmth to controlled chaos in one fixed chain of six modules — saturation, pitch and formant warp, a feedback echo that re-saturates on every repeat, a bit-crusher, a dynamic harshness suppressor, and a high-end exciter — all behind a glowing orange-on-black terminal UI. Built for tech house, it stays musical when you push it hard: the Firewall tightens harshness only when needed and Auto-Gain keeps your levels honest, so you can drive it into destruction and still land a mix-ready sound.

Kernix is a hacker-terminal multi-FX processor that chains six modules in a fixed signal path: Drive (saturation), Warp (pitch and formant), Echo (feedback delay), Texture (bit-crush), Firewall (harshness suppression), and Plasma (high-end exciter). It takes a dry vocal or synth from clean warmth to controlled chaos.
Five: Warm (smooth tube tanh), Crunch (asymmetric transistor clip with a touch of fold), Tape (magnetic hysteresis), Broken (bit-aliased waveshaping), and Hell (cascaded tanh → wavefold → hard clip for total destruction). Each has its own amount and dry/wet mix.
The Echo feedback path routes back through the Drive engine, so every repeat is re-saturated. Stack high feedback with high drive and you get rising, increasingly distorted echoes that evolve rather than simply decay. It's tempo-synced from 1/32 up to 1/2.
Firewall is a dynamic notch in the 2–5 kHz band that tracks the harshness saturation creates, tightening only when needed so it stays transparent on clean material. Plasma is a high-end exciter that high-passes above 8 kHz, saturates in parallel, and sums back to restore the air that saturation and bit-crushing strip away. Both have independent on/off and amount controls.
Yes. Kernix is a Universal Binary that runs natively on Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) and Intel Macs, signed and notarized on macOS 15.0 or later, code-signed for Windows 10 and 11.
