Summary

MAIM is an audio plugin that creates custom MP3 distortion and digital glitches by circuit bending real MP3 and Opus encoders in real time. It provides a wide range of digital distortion effects, from realistic to extreme, with smooth, automatable controls.

Features

• Utilizes two authentic MP3 encoders and a real Opus encoder integrated into a real-time plugin.
• Circuit bending techniques applied to disrupt the control flow of audio data, creating spectral distortions and glitches.
• All control knobs are smoothly adjustable and support automation without audio artifacts like pops or gaps.
• Compatible with multiple operating systems and plugin formats: Mac (AU/VST3), Windows (VST3), and Linux (VST3).
• Open-source software licensed under GPL v3.0, allowing use and modification with redistribution under the same license.

Installation and Usage

MAIM can be downloaded from the GitHub releases page. Installation involves running an installer on Windows and Mac, while Linux users must manually copy the plugin file to their plugin folder. Once installed, MAIM appears in the DAW's plugin list under the manufacturer name Wildergarden.

For Whom

MAIM is intended for audio producers and sound designers interested in experimental digital distortion effects and glitch sounds within their digital audio workstations.
