One knob. Turn it up and your sound gets driven, echoed, and crushed — never louder.
Kernix Raw is the free one-knob version of Kernix Pro. A single MANGLE macro drives a hidden multi-effect engine so you can wreck vocals, synths, drums, or a full mix in one move.
Fully signed and notarized for macOS as AU, VST3, and Standalone.

One big MANGLE knob is the whole plugin. Turn it up and it front-loads saturation, opens up a re-saturated feedback echo, and bites in bitcrush grit with a touch of detune — all under the hood. Auto-gain runs internally to keep the result level-matched, so it gets dirtier and bigger without jumping in volume. It's the only automatable control, so mapping it in your DAW stays dead simple.
