Mashup EFX
One playable effects console. Your signal flow.
Build club-ready transitions, stutters, tape stops, filter sweeps, delay throws, and moving textures from one compact plug-in—then drag the modules into the order that fits the moment.

macOS 13+ · AU + VST3Available today for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. Windows + AAX compatibility is coming soon.
Turn ordinary sections into moments people remember.
Mashup EFX keeps the controls DJs reach for most in one visual performance surface, without making you build and automate a long chain of separate plug-ins.
Stutters + rolls
Use the XY pad and CHOP to turn sustained audio into musical repeats, gates, pulses, and hardware-style performance gestures.
Transitions
Combine high/low sweeps, delay throws, ambience, and tape transport to connect records or arrangement sections with intent.
Bring dead sounds alive
Add tone, space, stereo movement, timing, and character to sources that feel flat without burying the musical idea.
HOW IT WORKS
XY first. Your modules next. Tape + Master last.
The performance pad creates the initial gesture. Five processing modules can then be reordered to color that gesture differently, while tape transport and the final Master Mix remain safely anchored at the end.

Fixed stages protect the performance entry and final output behavior.Movable stages drag by the six-dot handle; the ghost preview shows exactly where the module will land.
A chain that changes with the idea
Reorder the sound—not just the screen.
Putting CHOP before Delay creates repeating chopped motion. Moving Delay before CHOP gates the echoes themselves. Put Filter last to sweep the entire effect tail, or move it earlier to feed darker repeats into the rest of the chain.

A complete transition toolkit in one window.
Every module has a clear job, starts neutral or dry where appropriate, and now includes its own dedicated bypass for instant A/B checks without losing the module’s settings.
XY Roll Performance
Hold the pad to roll. X selects the musical length; Y moves pitch. Rise and Reverse begin ready, while visible divisions make the performance area immediately understandable.

Create gates, pulses, stutters, and stereo motion. Square is the musical default, Speed starts in free mode, and Depth starts at 100% while Mix remains off until you bring it in.

Press one performance button to slow the source to a stop or restart it with pitch acceleration—not a simple volume fade. Set stop and start timing independently.

Blend the complete processed chain against the untouched input from one oversized final dry/wet control. It stays at the end regardless of module order.

Link CHOP Speed and Mix from their current positions. The relationship is preserved instead of forcing both controls to the same value.

Complete hardware interfaceThe current 1.1 design presented as a premium front-facing hardware unit.
From source to finished transition in four moves.
Perform the gesture
Start with the XY pad for a roll, rise, reverse, and pitch-moving transition gesture.
Build the chain
Bring in CHOP, Delay, Reverb, EQ, and Filter, then drag them into the order that creates the response you want.
Finish the motion
Use Tape Start / Stop for transport-style transitions and Master Mix to blend the complete effect against the original source.
Make it playable
Automate supported parameters or map them through your DAW to MIDI knobs, faders, pads, and performance hardware.
Built for the session
Fast enough to perform. Organized enough to recall.
Mashup EFX is designed for responsive real-time control in live and studio workflows. One focused interface reduces the friction of managing a long chain of independent effects.
