expressiongate-v1.0.1

A free macOS audio plugin by Staiola Studio.

You control it by how loud you play. Quiet playing gives you one set of effects, playing harder gives you another, and digging in gives you a third. You set the three volume levels yourself and pick what each one does, so the sound changes without you touching a pedal.

Each level runs the same six effects in order: Amp, Fuzz, Pitch, Chorus, Echo and Verb. Stack mode adds effects as you cross more levels, Switch mode plays only the highest one you have reached.

What changed since 1.0.0

The plugin is now published under Staiola Studio rather than Dwan Audio. This is not only a label change: the Audio Unit manufacturer code and the bundle identifier changed with it, so macOS treats this as a different plugin from 1.0.0.

If you installed 1.0.0, delete these before installing, or you will see ExpressionGate listed twice in your host:

/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/ExpressionGate.component
/Applications/ExpressionGate.app

Doing this now while almost nobody has 1.0.0 installed, because changing plugin identity later would break saved sessions.

Install

Open the .pkg and follow the installer. It installs ExpressionGate.component to /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components and the standalone app to /Applications. Restart your host so it rescans plugins.

Requires: macOS 11 or newer. Signed with a Developer ID certificate and notarised by Apple.
