SnappySnap — Born from Years of Hardware Hacking

Inkie is the creator of SnappySnap, a VST3/AU plugin host with advanced parameter control, randomization, and visual UI design capabilities.

The foundation was laid over many years of live-looping. Throughout his career, Inkie obsessively mangled presets on hardware, pushing devices beyond their intended use. On the original Boss RC-505mk1, he developed his famous knob technique — a method to morph parameters in real-time on hardware that was never designed for it. This deep understanding of parameter manipulation became second nature. He has been exploiting on hardware setups for years, now in software.

"Am I really making a plugin?" - turned out yes! and im using it every time i want to have some fun times in my DAW.
