Plugin Roulette - Stop overthinking. Start spinning.

What is it

Rediscover your plugin collection

We all have our go-to plugins. The same compressor, the same EQ, the same reverb, every session. Plugin Roulette is here to break that cycle. Select a track, choose a category, and let it randomly insert a plugin from your collection. It's part creative tool, part rediscovery engine, part "why have I never used this before?"

Spin & discover

Pick from broad categories like EQ, Dynamics and Reverb, or drill into specific styles - 1176-style compressors, Pultec EQs, Plate reverbs, and dozens more. Time Machine lets you spin from specific hardware eras - 1940s tube gear through to modern boutique designs. Select multiple tracks for Shootout Mode - a different plugin on each for instant A/B comparisons.

React instantly

Don't like what you got? Respin. Never want to see it again? Blacklist it forever and get a new one. Love it? Add it to your Favourites or Nerd Out to learn what it actually does.

Curate your favourites

Save up to 10 favourites per category and build a personal collection of go-to plugins. When you're ready for something new, shuffle them out for fresh alternatives. Your best discoveries, always one tap away.

My Stats

Your mixing personality, revealed

The more you spin, the more your stats grow. See your top categories, favourite manufacturer, discovery progress, and weekly streak. Plugin Roulette gives you a personality title based on how you mix. Save your card and share it on socials.

Four ways to use it

Built for however you work

The Surface

Full experience on iPad

The complete Plugin Roulette interface. Insert strip, category grid with 54 sub-categories across three pages, action icons, result card, and your favourites. Designed for the iPad sitting next to your screen.

The Spin Bar

Minimal and always visible

A compact floating bar that sits above your Edit window. Spin, respin, spin out, favourite - all one tap away. Shows your last result so you never lose track of what landed.

The Flow

Right inside Pro Tools

Lives in the SoundFlow panel within the Pro Tools Edit window. No iPad, no floating windows. Pick a category, press a key, get a plugin. The fastest way to spin.

Stream Deck

Every command at your fingertips

Every category, sub-category, and action mapped to a dedicated button across three pages. Physical keys you can find without looking. Spin, respin, and react without ever leaving your mix.
