    Audiopunks, working with Telefunken Elektroakustik, builds plug-in versions of rare vintage Telefunken studio hardware, and this bundle gathers that Telefunken line in one purchase. Its best-known member is the Echomixer, a recreation of the vintage device that combined three germanium preamps with a Hammond IV spring reverb — the kind of characterful, slightly unruly box engineers reach for when a mix needs colour rather than cleanliness. Bought as a bundle, the set covers that spring-and-preamp colour in a single licence.

    Key Features

    • Plug-in emulations of vintage Telefunken hardware, made with Telefunken Elektroakustik
    • Includes the Echomixer: three germanium preamps plus a Hammond IV spring reverb
    • Vintage colour and saturation for vocals, guitars, drums and mix buses
    • VST3, AU and AAX plug-in formats for Mac DAWs
    • One bundle licence for the Telefunken plug-in range from Audiopunks

    How to Download

    1. Check your DAW supports VST3, AU or AAX plug-ins, and note that authorisation needs an internet connection.
    2. Use the green Download button on this page to reach the download, or visit the developer's website directly for the current installer.
    3. Install the bundle, authorise it, and start with the Echomixer on a vocal or guitar bus to hear the spring and preamp character.

    System Requirements

    The Audiopunks Telefunken plug-ins run on macOS 10.14 and higher, on Intel and Apple silicon Macs, in VST3, AU and AAX hosts. An internet connection is required during authorisation.

    FAQs

    What is the Echomixer?

    It is a plug-in version of Telefunken's vintage Echomixer hardware, which housed three germanium preamps and a Hammond IV spring reverb in one unit, recreated by Audiopunks.

    Is the bundle a subscription?

    No. Audiopunks sells its plug-ins as perpetual licences, and the bundle is a one-time purchase of the Telefunken range. The developer's site lists the current bundle contents and price.

    FAQs

    Is Soundbox really free?

    The engine is free to use on desktop and iPad, with all playing features unlocked. Only the sample and mapping editor needs a licence key, which comes with any paid Soundbox instrument purchase.

    Can I make my own instruments?

    Yes, once the editor is unlocked. You can import and edit your own samples, map them across the keyboard and build custom instruments inside Soundbox.

    Mac Audio • Updated Nov 6, 2026

    Riffer, from Audiomodern, is a generative MIDI sequencer that writes musical phrases for whatever instrument you point it at. It makes no sound itself; it creates editable MIDI — melodies, hooks, basslines and arpeggios — by combining pitch, duration, velocity and density under your chosen key and scale. The current Mac release is Riffer 4, at version 4.1.0, rebuilt with a set of purpose-built generation engines, each with its own musical character, so fresh ideas arrive faster than blank-page staring.

    Key Features

    • Purpose-built generation engines for sequences, hooks, basslines and arpeggios
    • Generates riffs in any key and scale, with control over range, density and timing
    • Every generated phrase stays fully editable, note by note
    • Infinity mode for endless variation during jamming or performance
    • VST3, AU, AAX and standalone on Mac, with MIDI export to any DAW

    How to Download

    1. Confirm your DAW is set up to receive MIDI from a plug-in or the standalone app.
    2. Download the installer from the developer: Download from the official site
    3. Install Riffer 4, route its MIDI to a synth or sampler, pick an engine and scale, and generate until something sparks — then edit it and make it yours.

    System Requirements

    Riffer 4 requires macOS 11 and up, with native Apple silicon compatibility, and runs as VST3, AU, AAX or standalone. The official page lists all major DAWs as supported, including Logic Pro, Ableton Live and Cubase.

    FAQs

    Does Riffer make sound?

    No. Riffer generates MIDI only. You route its notes to a software or hardware instrument, and you can export the MIDI to use in any project.

    Can I upgrade from Riffer 3?

    Yes. Audiomodern offers existing Riffer owners an upgrade price for Riffer 4, shown on the official product page next to the regular price and the trial download.

    Mac Audio • Updated Nov 6, 2026

    Playbeat 4, from Audiomodern, is a drum designer built around generative pattern creation. Rather than programming every step by hand, you pick musical styles and let its local AI algorithms generate grooves, then shape the result with up to eight independent sequencers controlling pitch, density, delay, volume and pan. The 4.0.9 build for Mac ships with a factory library of patterns, sounds and 1,500 kits, so there is plenty of raw material before you import a single sample of your own.

    Key Features

    • Genre-based AI pattern generation for endless, non-repeating grooves
    • Eight independent sequencers with real-time pitch shifting, density and track delay
    • Factory library of patterns, sounds and 1,500 kits included
    • Create and share your own packs with custom artwork, names and tags
    • Export MIDI and audio, in VST3, AU, AAX and standalone formats

    How to Download

    1. Check your Mac and DAW meet the requirements on the product page.
    2. Download the installer from the developer: Download from the official site
    3. Install Playbeat 4, choose a kit and a genre, generate a pattern, then tweak the sequencers and export MIDI or audio to your project.

    System Requirements

    Playbeat 4 needs macOS 10.14 and up, with native Apple silicon compatibility, in VST3, AU or AAX hosts or standalone mode. All major DAWs are supported, including Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Cubase and Pro Tools.

    FAQs

    Does the trial have limits?

    Yes. The trial has no time restriction and includes the factory library, but MIDI output, importing your own sounds and preset saving are disabled until you unlock it with a licence key.

    Can previous owners upgrade?

    Yes. Audiomodern offers Playbeat 4 to owners of earlier versions at a reduced upgrade price, listed on the official product page alongside the regular price.

    Updated Nov 6, 2026
    Mac Audio • Updated Nov 6, 2026

    Freezr, from Audiomodern, is a freeze sequencer plug-in for Mac that captures audio as it plays and chops the frozen segments into rhythmic sequences. Instead of a static freeze button, it lets you manipulate and re-sequence the captured sound in real time, generating stutters, repeats and textured patterns that work as well on stage as in the studio. It runs as a plug-in in your DAW and as a standalone app, so the same performance workflow is available wherever you make music.

    Key Features

    • Captures and freezes audio segments in real time for expressive manipulation
    • Sequences frozen audio into rhythmic stutters and patterns
    • Designed for both live performance and studio sound design
    • VST, VST3, AU and AAX plug-in formats, plus standalone and AUv3
    • Part of Audiomodern's family of creative, generative music tools

    How to Download

    1. Make sure your DAW supports VST3, AU or AAX effect plug-ins on macOS.
    2. Use the green Download button on this page to reach the download, or visit the developer's website directly for the current installer.
    3. Install Freezr, insert it on a track playing audio, and use its sequencer to capture and re-order frozen segments.

    System Requirements

    Freezr 1.0.6 requires macOS 10.12 or higher according to its product listings, and runs on Intel and Apple silicon Macs in a compatible plug-in host or standalone mode, with around 200 MB of free drive space.

    FAQs

    What does Freezr actually do?

    It freezes small segments of incoming audio and lets you sequence and manipulate them, so a plain loop or vocal can become a rhythmic, stuttering texture you perform in real time.

    Is Freezr free?

    No, despite the name. It is a paid plug-in, listed at $29, sold by Audiomodern and authorised resellers. Check the developer's site for current offers.

    Key Features

    • Catalogue and search large audio libraries with metadata support
    • Instant auditioning, including playback at different pitches via MIDI or keyboard
    • Waveform viewing with beat detection and sample splitting tools

    FAQs

    Is AudioFinder a DAW?

    No. It is a library manager and production hub that complements your DAW: you find, preview and process sounds in AudioFinder, then use them in your sessions.

    Is there a successor?

    Iced Audio has announced AudioCortex 2 Nova as AudioFinder's successor, in public beta for macOS 15 or later on Apple silicon, with a free upgrade path for recent AudioFinder buyers.

    Fidelia, from Audiofile Engineering, is a music player for Mac listeners who care about exactly what happens between a file and their headphones. First shipped in 2011 and rebuilt from scratch for the Fidelia 2 generation, it offers bit-perfect, gapless playback of the music you own — FLAC, DSD, Apple Lossless and more — through a signal path you can inspect and adjust. Built-in mastering-grade DSP, headphone processing and Audio Unit hosting let you shape the sound without leaving the player.

    Key Features

    • Bit-perfect, gapless playback for FLAC, DSD, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless and more
    • Four built-in mastering-grade processors, including a ten-band EQ
    • Three Audio Unit slots so your own plug-ins sit in the listening chain
    • Multichannel playback up to 9.1.6, plus Lyrion and UPnP library support
    • Reads your local files and your Apple Music app library, with a free iOS Remote

    How to Download

    1. Check your Mac runs macOS 14 or later, as Fidelia 2 requires it.
    2. Download the installer from the developer: Download from the official site
    3. Install Fidelia, point it at your music folder or library, and set up your output device and DSP chain.

    System Requirements

    Fidelia 2 requires macOS 14.0 or later and runs on Apple silicon and Intel Macs. It is distributed through the Mac App Store, where Macs on older systems are offered the earlier 1.x generation instead.

    FAQs

    Is Fidelia a subscription?

    No. It is a free download with a 14-day full trial, then a one-time unlock. The developer is explicit that there is no subscription, and network playback features are a separate one-time unlock.

    Does Fidelia stream Spotify or Apple Music?

    No. Fidelia plays music you own — local files, your Apple Music library files, internet radio and libraries served over Lyrion or UPnP — rather than streaming services.

    AudioCipher, from indie developer AudioCipher Technologies, turns text into music. Type any word or phrase and its home-grown text-to-MIDI algorithm converts the letters into a melody or a chord progression in your chosen key, scale and rhythm, ready to drag into your DAW. It is not cloud AI — the conversion runs locally, and the same word always produces the same musical signature in a given key. Version 4.0 (September 2024) adds the MIDI Vault for organising ideas.

    Key Features

    • Text-to-MIDI generation: type a word or phrase, get a melody or chords
    • Melody and chord modes with nine scales, chord extensions and rhythm settings
    • Chord inversions and note joining for smoother voice leading in version 4
    • MIDI Vault stores MIDI and audio together as searchable cards with metadata
    • Drag MIDI straight into DAWs such as Logic Pro, Ableton Live and FL Studio

    How to Download

    1. Check your DAW accepts VST3 or AU plug-ins, or use the standalone app.
    2. Download the installer from the developer: Download from the official site
    3. Type a word, set your BPM, key and mode, listen to the result, then drag the MIDI onto an instrument track.

    System Requirements

    AudioCipher runs on a recent version of macOS on Intel and Apple silicon Macs, as a VST3 and AU plug-in plus a standalone app. Earlier versions required macOS 10.11 or later; check the current product page for exact requirements.

    FAQs

    Is AudioCipher an AI generator?

    No. The developer describes it as an AI emulator: a deterministic text-to-MIDI algorithm, a kind of musical cryptogram, with nothing trained on licensed music and no cloud processing.

    How much does it cost?

    AudioCipher is a one-time purchase, listed at $29.99 for the generator with free upgrades for existing customers. The official site shows current pricing.

    CustomTone, from Audio Tech Hub, is a virtual instrument built around your own sounds. Instead of shipping a fixed library, it lets you load one-shot WAV samples — an 808 kick, a vocal chop, a synth hit — and play them across the keyboard as an instrument. A built-in effects suite and a full ADSR envelope then shape that raw sample into something musical. It is a sound-design playground for producers who like building small, personal instruments from found material.

    Key Features

    • Load your own one-shot WAV samples and play them chromatically
    • Built-in effects suite including phaser, chorus, delay, reverb, LFO and filter
    • Full ADSR envelope controls for shaping dynamics
    • WAV looping and reversing for experimental textures
    • Pitch control for tuning samples and creating leads, kicks and chops

    How to Download

    1. Confirm your DAW loads VST or AU instruments on macOS.
    2. Use the green Download button on this page to reach the download, or visit the developer's website directly for the current installer.
    3. Install CustomTone, load it on an instrument track, and drop in a one-shot WAV to start shaping your first patch.

    System Requirements

    CustomTone runs as a plug-in on a recent version of macOS, on Intel and Apple silicon Macs, inside a compatible DAW. The newer CustomTone 2 generation lists macOS 11 or later with VST3 and AU formats.

    FAQs

    Does CustomTone come with sounds?

    It is designed around your own one-shot WAV files, which you load and sculpt yourself. That is the point of the instrument: your samples, your tone.

    Is CustomTone still sold?

    Audio Tech Hub has since released CustomTone 2, a larger generative instrument that also includes the original CustomTone 1 preset library. The developer's site lists the current product and pricing.
