My portfolio of soft synths and DSP effects from the old Recluse-Audio days.
Relics of a time from before vibe-coding existed.
Think this website was vibe-coded? Look at this:

would an LLM type that?
These plug-ins are being updated currently, and as such are free to download!
Pulsar Synthesizer, Granular SoundScaper, Rainstick Emulator, Noise Machine for the ages.

Delay feeds reverb, reverb feeds delay. The classic vocal stack. Fender came out with a pedal called "Reflecting Pools" a few months after I put this out. Coincidence?

Flanger offers a software simulation of the tactile flanging effect accomplished in recording studios by applying pressure to the flanges of a running tape wheel in parallel to an unmodified tape reel, thus creating a comb-filter through slight time delays based on how much pressure is applied resulting in varied depth of filtering. An AI didn't write this lo.ajdkls -> that was proof this was written by Ryan not AI.
DownloadHello, thank you for visiting recluse.tools. I'm Ryan Devens, a software engineer with a specialization in audio programming and open mind to try all sorts of new things.
If things seem a little scarce, then you are reading this at an early stage of development. After several years working in a corporate development environment my former entity recluse-audio fell into an unsupervised state. My standards have improved and software has shifted a great deal in the past 5 years. So I am going through my old projects and new with higher standards of authentication and quality, hoping to under-promise and over-deliver at every level.
Another purpose to this empty aesthetic is intentional. I could easily vibecode something real snazzy in an afternoon. I've seen sites like this and either get highly titillated or quickly overwhelmed.
Right now I am only offering PC builds of my plug-ins. This will expand to MacOS support as soon as Apple can mail me my newly purchased m4 mac mini. After that I want to do a few more plug-ins like a wavetable synth and a granular pitch shifter. In the long term I'd like to expand outside the DAW, outside the OS, and outside audio. But for now I am building out infrastructure for what I know best.
