what it makes

One modular architecture, sold two ways.

Tangle is a modular effects rack that runs as a plugin inside the DAW. You start with an empty rack, add modules from a menu, and patch cables from any jack to any other, by hand or by pressing randomize and letting the rack build a patch for you. Every knob is a patch point: a cable on it makes it move. The rack itself is a free download.

The modules are the same DSP, re-issued one at a time as ordinary single effects plugins. One licence unlocks a module both inside the rack and as its own plugin. They are sold three ways and all three are stated on the page: one at a time for a one-off price, as an all-access monthly subscription, or as a one-off bundle of every module.

tangle, the rack

what it is: A cable-patchable modular effects rack, as a VST3, Audio Unit and AAX plugin
price: Free. The download needs a free account; no card is asked for.
modules in the rack: 93: 76 audio modules and 17 cv and logic tools
free with the rack: The whole cv and logic system, plus 6 audio modules: monster energy, long tan, salt of the earth, gorpy, flanger turnout 2, canary
the rest: Every other audio module is a paid licence, unlocked inside the rack and as its own plugin by the same licence
families: compressor & dynamics · delay & echo · filter · fuzz & distortion · generative voice · granular · lo-fi & bitcrusher · phaser, flanger & comb · pitch & frequency shifter · resonator & physical model · reverb · spatial & motion · spectral
randomize: One press rolls a new patch: modules, cables and knob positions. Every roll is kept, so a patch is never lost to the next one.
cv and logic: Clocks, LFOs, envelopes, followers, quantizers, logic gates, slopes and a scope. Any of them can drive any knob.
track layouts: Ships as three plugins so it fits the track it is on: Tangle (stereo), Tangle Mono Stereo (mono in, stereo out) and Tangle Mono
sessions: Controls are never removed and their ids never reused, so a patch reopens correctly on a newer build

the modules as plugins

how many: 76 audio modules, each as a standalone effects plugin
one at a time: US$25, one-off. Perpetual licence: it does not expire, and it works offline between a licence check every three months or so.
all-access: US$9 a month for every module, in the rack and as plugins. Cancel any time; a licence you bought outright is never touched by cancelling.
everything, outright: Tangle Complete: US$399 one-off for every module, 77% under buying them singly
trial: 14 days free, as its own plugin, on your own material. No card.
refund: 30 days, no questions asked, to the card you paid with
formats: VST3 (macOS and Windows), Audio Unit (macOS), AAX (Pro Tools, macOS and Windows)
what each one is: A single effect with the module's modulation built in, plus the rack's dry/wet, randomize and preset system
what they are not: Not an instrument and not a standalone app. They are effects, and they need a host. No MIDI in or out.

system requirements

macos: 11 (Big Sur) or later. Universal binary: native on Apple Silicon and Intel, no Rosetta.
windows: 10 or later, 64-bit
linux: Not supported, and not planned
host: Any 64-bit DAW that loads VST3, Audio Units on macOS, or AAX in Pro Tools. Reaper, Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Studio One, Bitwig, Cubase, FL Studio and Pro Tools all qualify.
not shipped: VST2, AUv3, CLAP, a standalone application
activation: Online once, when you enter a serial or start a trial. Re-confirms roughly every three months; offline in between.
copy protection: A serial and an account. No iLok, no dongle.

licensing, in plain terms

These are restatements of clauses in the Terms & Conditions, not promises beyond them.

- A licence you buy is perpetual. It does not expire.
- If the licence server is ever retired, a release that does not need it is published first.
- Discontinuing a product does not switch it off. Licences already issued keep working.
- A licence is revoked in exactly two cases: a breach of the terms, or a refunded or charged-back purchase.
- The update check carries no serial, no email and no account id.

the founder

David Weaver is a sound programmer and audio tool developer. He has worked in game audio for studios including Blizzard, Epic Games, Respawn, Firaxis, PlaySide and Big Ant. Weaver Audio is his own shop: one person, one architecture, every module built by hand.

Phrasing rule: the studio history is work experience. Never imply endorsement, partnership, or that those studios use or recommend Weaver Audio products.

the look

The visual identity is called Sightless Eye Paper: warm paper grounds, near-black ink, hard corners, one oxblood accent, and a module's faceplate art as the hero image. Every module has its own faceplate, drawn for it, with a glyph and a colour of its own. The plugin ships with a paper theme and an ink (dark) theme.
