Spec → Scaffold for audio plugins

Build the audio plugin you keep imagining.

Describe your idea in plain English. You get a scoped plugin spec, a playable prototype built around it, and the prompts to vibe-code it further in Cursor — with a clear JUCE path to VST/AU when you're ready.

Vibepatch plugin prototype artwork in violet tones

From idea to first sound, then onward

  1. 01

    Describe it

    A pad machine, a swing click, a three-pad sampler. Sound words, not code words. How to write your idea.

  2. 02

    Get your scaffold

    We scope the idea and wire a working prototype on one of four engines: pad/drone, drums, click, or sampler.

  3. 03

    Vibe-code the rest

    Open the folder in Cursor, run the prompt chain, add one feature at a time — and follow the JUCE path when you want a real plugin.

What's in the $49

Everything you need to start building — and an honest line on what isn't included.

Not included: a compiled VST/AU plugin. You get the prototype and the path; the native build is yours to take on.

  • Cursor prompt chain — understand → extend → polish, in order
  • Project rules — keep your AI assistant on-scope
  • Guides — mini ebook, success checklist, prompt cheat sheet
  • JUCE path — curated resources for taking it native (VST/AU)

Why prototype first

Hear it in minutes

No SDK, no host setup, no signing. Prove the idea sounds right before you invest in a native toolchain.

AI works better on rails

Assistants extend a working project far more reliably than they invent one from a blank folder.

The design carries over

Controls, signal flow and scope you settle in the prototype become the blueprint for a JUCE build.

Questions

What do I get for $49?

A written Spec for your plugin idea (what it will do, what it won't, what to build next), a playable browser prototype zip built around it, an ordered Cursor prompt chain, project rules, short guides, and a JUCE learning path for going native (VST/AU) later.

Is this a finished VST or AU plugin?

No. You get a working browser prototype you can hear and extend, plus a clear path toward JUCE. A compiled VST/AU plugin is not part of the $49 delivery.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. The prototype already makes sound. You open it in an AI coding tool such as Cursor and follow the prompts one feature at a time. Curiosity helps; a CS degree doesn't.

What kinds of ideas fit?

Small, focused instruments and utilities: pad and drone machines, drum machines, click and practice tools, and sample-trigger pads. One clear job per plugin works best.

How fast is delivery?

The target is about 48 hours after your intake answers arrive.

Can I try it first?

Yes. Download the free sample pad prototype to hear what a scaffold looks and sounds like before you buy.
