New: Metamorph — beat the 8-bar loop

Plugins with a
bit of bite.

Small, playful tools for house and techno producers. Each one does one job brilliantly — and we release them one bug at a time.

The Humbug story

Most plugins are full of humbug — 400 knobs, endless menus, and a manual you'll never open.

Humbug started with a producer stuck in loop mode: eight great bars, and no idea how to turn them into a track. The tools out there were either huge and expensive or didn't speak house and techno. So we built our own.

Every Humbug plugin is a bug: small, focused, a bit cheeky — and it bites exactly where it should. One job, done well, at a price you don't have to think twice about.
