13 VST3 vocal processing plugins built in Rust using the nih-plug framework. Not wrappers around existing DSP libraries. Original signal processing code compiled to native plugin binaries that run in any major DAW.
Audio is the substrate where the Gardener framework meets hard real-time constraints. You cannot garden a sample buffer -- it needs to be filled in exactly N microseconds or you get glitches. The Gardener move here is in the architecture: Rust's ownership model guarantees memory safety at compile time, which means the runtime can focus entirely on signal processing without defensive allocation. The language gardens the memory so the code can architect the audio.
13 vocal processing plugins spanning the full signal chain: pitch correction, formant shifting, harmonic enhancement, de-essing, compression, saturation, spatial processing, and more. Each plugin is a standalone VST3 binary.
~9,700 lines of Rust across the suite. The nih-plug framework handles the DAW integration layer (parameter management, GUI, preset system) while the DSP core is original code.
Free GPL tier ships all 13 plugins with full functionality. No feature gating, no trial periods, no nag screens. The Pro tier ($49 one-time or $4.99/mo) adds preset packs, priority support, and early access to new plugins.
This is Garden commerce applied to creative tools: the free version must be genuinely useful to working musicians, not a demo that frustrates them into paying. The paid tier exists for people who want more, not people who need less.
All 13 plugins are built and functional. The remaining work is DAW validation (testing across Ableton, FL Studio, Logic, Reaper, Bitwig), building an installer/package for each platform, and launching the landing page.
The landing page will live on its own domain and cross-link to the DeepSynthesis constellation for developer-audience traffic.
