About
We build plugins that
understand music.
Not frequency bands. Not onset triggers. Actual notes.
The Problem We Solve
Every guitarist has felt it: you record a great mono DI take, then spend an hour trying to make it sit wide in the mix. Chorus sounds fake. Haas delay causes phase issues. Double tracking means playing it again — and it's never quite the same.
We built INSEKTIQ because we believed there was a better way. Instead of treating audio as a blob of frequencies, what if your plugin actually knew what notes you were playing?
That idea became the Note AI Engine — real-time polyphonic detection that identifies each note in a chord, separates their audio, and lets you process them independently. TONIQ was the first plugin built on this engine. It won't be the last.
What We Believe
Notes, not frequencies
Audio processing should respect musical boundaries. A note's harmonics belong with their fundamental — not scattered across arbitrary frequency bands.
Simple tools, deep results
Complex technology should feel simple to use. TONIQ auto-profiles your instrument and just works — no manuals, no calibration, no learning curve.

Why "INSEKTIQ"?
Insects perceive sound differently than humans. A dragonfly's auditory system processes individual frequency components simultaneously — not as a blended signal, but as distinct, parallel streams. That's what our plugins do: decompose a chord into its individual notes and process each one independently.
Every INSEKTIQ plugin is named with the -IQ suffix — TONIQ, DUPLIQ, and more to come. Each one uses the Note AI Engine to bring note-level intelligence to a different part of your signal chain.
