It started with eight bars and nowhere to go.
Every producer knows the feeling. You've got a loop that sounds unreal on repeat — and three weeks later it's still a loop. The fix isn't another synth or another reverb. It's knowing what to do next.
That's where Humbug began: making tools we wanted in our own sessions, in FL Studio, for the kind of music we play out. The first one, Metamorph, exists because we were stuck in loop mode too.
- Nonsense; rubbish dressed up as something useful.
- A striped boiled sweet.
- A plugin company that cuts sense 1 out of music software.
Four rules for every bug
One job, done brilliantly
Each plugin has one signature trick. If a feature doesn't earn its place on screen, it doesn't ship.
Built for the dancefloor
Kicks, grooves, phrases of 8, 16 and 32 bars. We design for house and techno first, not for everyone at once.
Teach while you tweak
Good tools show you why something works, not just make it work. You should come out of every session a better producer.
Honest prices
Pay once, own it. A free trial on everything. No fake “90% off” countdowns, ever.
A growing swarm
We release plugins one by one, so each gets proper attention — and the Hive bundle grows with every release.
