§ every control

what each knob does

Six controls, no menus. Here they are on the panel itself.

tuneString pitch, about 96 Hz to 1 kHz. Changes glide rather than step, so a sweep does not click.

curveBridge shape, from a gentle one-sided sitar bridge toward a two-sided snare rattle. Fully up, only the largest swings reach the second side, so that side rattles lightly.

buzzHow hard the string slaps against the bridge (contact depth and restitution).

dampHigh-cut inside the loop, from a bright buzz fully down to a dark thunk fully up.

regenLoop feedback and sustain, from a short pluck to a long drone.

mixDry/wet balance. Fully down is dry only; fully up is the effect alone.

§ built-in modulation

it modulates itself

Dox Mug ships with the full CV/logic modulation section every Tangle standalone carries. Two slots, each running one of six modulators: pick one from a slot's tabs, drag a patch cable onto any knob, and that control moves on its own, no DAW automation required. Both slots can run the same kind, each its own copy, and slot 2 can be switched off.

lfoSmooth cyclic movement: sine, triangle, square, sample & hold, or a shape you draw.

curveA looping contour you draw by hand: smooth, spiked or stepped.

noiseStepped, smoothed or slewed randomness for texture and wander.

transientListens for hits, then fires a trigger plus an envelope on every transient it hears.

env followTracks how loud you are playing and turns that into a control voltage.

timingSpreads hits as evenly as possible across a bar, so rhythms land musically instead of bunched.

§ always recording

it keeps what you just played

A rolling capture strip runs beneath the panel, always recording the plugin's output. No transport, nothing to arm. Played something great while you were just tweaking? Click-drag across the history waveform to select it, then drag the slice straight into your DAW timeline.

ARM flips it to ring-capture for hands-free takes.

§ one purchase, two plugins

it unlocks in tangle too

Dox Mug is a module from Tangle, the free cable-patchable rack. Buying it here licenses both: this standalone plugin, and dox mug unlocked inside the rack, where you can patch it into any other module you own. There is no second purchase and no upgrade path; the rack itself costs nothing.

Sign in once in the rack and your licences follow your account: a module bought this morning appears at the next licence check, on every machine you install on.
