This Plugin Uses AI to Turn Text Prompts into Custom Audio Plugins

Artists in DSP has unveiled Amorph, a plugin designed to create custom audio effects and MIDI instruments through text prompts rather than traditional coding. The plugin has a flexible approach to DSP development. It allows algorithms to be generated externally using LLMs and then compiled directly inside a DAW environment.

Amorph is built around a controlled DSP sandbox that can safely compile and swap algorithms in milliseconds without interrupting the audio thread. This enables users to transform the plugin into different effects or instruments without loading multiple tools. AI models are kept outside the plugin itself, allowing users to choose their preferred model while avoiding complex server code or subscription requirements.

Amorph features two operational modes: a standard mode and a Lab Mode that provides access to a code editor and configuration tools. Users can describe an effect or instrument, generate DSP code via an external LLM, and paste it into the editor before compiling. More advanced users can directly edit the code using Cmajor, a DSP-focused programming language. The plugin supports mono and stereo audio processing, MIDI input, and hybrid audio-MIDI designs.

Presets in Amorph function at both the algorithm and parameter levels, allowing users to save entire custom devices or recall parameter snapshots instantly. Current limitations include a simplified user interface and no support for sample-based processing or embedded machine learning models. Artists in DSP has confirmed that Amorph will be released free of charge, with an open beta planned soon.
