Are the plugins really free?

Yes. All of them are free to download and free to use, in private and in commercial productions. There is no licence key, no trial period and no account. If they earn their place in your sessions, there is a donation link, entirely optional.

Which formats and systems are supported?

On macOS the plugins ship as VST3 and as Audio Unit (AU) for macOS 11 or newer, built Universal for Apple Silicon and Intel, so they also run in Logic Pro and GarageBand. On Windows 10 or newer they ship as 64-bit VST3 with an .exe installer. Audio Unit is an Apple format and does not exist on Windows.

Which DAWs can I use them in?

Any DAW that loads VST3, on both systems: Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio, Cubase, Studio One, REAPER, FL Studio. On macOS the Audio Unit version adds Logic Pro and GarageBand.

How do I install them?

Pick the package for your system, unzip it and run the installer: “MYR-Installer-0.8.2.pkg” on macOS, “MYR-Installer-0.8.2.exe” on Windows. Tick the plugins you want and the installer puts every format in place. If macOS refuses to open the installer, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and choose “Open anyway”. Both packages also contain a folder “Manuelle Installation” with the raw plugin bundles, and the manual at /plugins/manual walks through every step for both systems.

Yes, and you can read all of it on this site at /plugins/manual, without downloading anything: installation on macOS and Windows, how to make your DAW find the plugins, every control and the factory presets. The same tutorial is also an illustrated eleven-page PDF in English and German, inside the download and available separately.

What happens to my email address?

It is used to send you the download and occasional news about new MYR plugins. Nothing else, no third parties, and you can ask for it to be deleted at any time.

REVERB · v0.1.2

MYR ORBIT Reverb

HIGH-DEFINITION SPACE ENGINE

A reverb that covers the whole distance: from a small, tight room to an enormous cloud that keeps drifting long after the note has gone. Eight algorithms, a tube stage for weight and a shimmer octave for height.

8 algorithms · 41 factory presets · VST3 & AU

ALL ABOUT ORBIT →

MYR ORBIT reverb plugin interface: HALL algorithm, decay 2.40 s, orbital display with size and width readout

DELAY · v0.1.1

MYR PULSAR Delay

HYBRID ECHO ENGINE

An echo with five different media in one box: clean digital, warm tape, tube, analog bucket brigade and lo-fi. On top of that a grain field you move with the mouse, scattering the repeats in pitch and time.

5 echo media · 41 factory presets · VST3 & AU

ALL ABOUT PULSAR →

MYR PULSAR delay plugin interface: TAPE medium, 900 ms, 60 % feedback, grain field with scatter display

HARMONIZER · v0.1.1

MYR PRISM Harmonizer

VOCAL HARMONIZER

Three harmony voices from one vocal: the plugin hears the note you sing and places up to three more around it, each with its own interval, detune and micro delay. Formants are shifted separately, so a voice a fifth up still sounds like a voice and not like a chipmunk.

3 formant modes · 16 factory presets · VST3 & AU

ALL ABOUT PRISM →

MYR PRISM vocal harmonizer plugin interface: detected note A3, three harmony voices at +7, +12 and +19 semitones on the prism display

EQ · v0.2.1

MYR TITAN EQ

ANALOG DYNAMIC EQ

An equalizer with twenty-four bands, and every one of them can be made dynamic: the band then only moves when that frequency actually gets too loud, and leaves the rest of the track alone. Three filter modes decide the trade-off, from an analog curve with no latency at all to perfectly linear phase.

3 phase modes · 30 factory presets · VST3 & AU

ALL ABOUT TITAN →

MYR TITAN dynamic EQ plugin interface: Natural phase mode, the EQ curve drawn over the live spectrum with three bands, and the selected band's dynamic controls below

MASTERING SUITE · v0.2.2

MYR ZENITH Mastering Suite

A whole mastering chain in one window: twelve modules in the order a mastering engineer would build them, from the first corrective cut to the true-peak limiter. The loudness panel measures what the streaming services will do with the result, and LEARN sets the limiter so your target is actually met.

12 modules · 28 factory presets · VST3 & AU

ALL ABOUT ZENITH →

MYR ZENITH mastering suite plugin interface: the chain of twelve modules across the top, the EQ page with its mid and side curve below, and the loudness panel with LUFS, true peak and streaming targets on the right

WHERE THEY COME FROM

Written in the room that masters the records.

Every algorithm in every MYR plugin was tuned against the same monitors, the same analog chain and the same records that go through the MYR mixing & mastering studio in Fulda. They are not a side project. They are the tools that were missing.

THE MANUAL

Read it before you install.

The full tutorial as a page: installation on both systems, the rescan in every common DAW, the controls, and the first steps in every MYR plugin. The same thing as an illustrated PDF, 11 pages, in English and German.
