The Next-Gen Ecosytsem For Audio Plugins.
Concentric brings the power of modern web app infrastructure to audio software. Hot updates, instant delivery, and cross-platform deployment. One runtime connects music producers, DSP researchers, plugin creators, plugin brands and plugin marketplaces, in a single ecosystem.
Building Plugins Is Still Broken
We have been shipping audio software the same way for twenty years. Separate builds for every OS. Installers that break. Activation systems that frustrate users. And every time Apple or Microsoft changes something, you rebuild everything.
The Porting Tax
Remember Apple Silicon? M4? Each transition means months of recompilation, testing, and release management. That is time not spent improving your DSP, not spent building new products. It is pure overhead.
Users Drop Off Before They Start
A producer finds your plugin, clicks download, waits for the installer, restarts their DAW, hunts for the activation code, and somewhere in that maze they give up. The gap between interest and actually using your plugin is enormous.
You Ship Blind
Once your plugin is out in the world, you have no idea how people actually use it. Which parameters do they touch? Which presets do they ignore? Product decisions become educated guesses based on forum posts and support tickets.
One Host.
Infinite Plugins.
Concentric is a single runtime that lives inside your DAW. Your DSP ships as portable .wasm modules that load in seconds. Think of it like the web: one browser, unlimited sites. One plugin host, unlimited audio modules.
Fix Bugs in Minutes. Not Months.
When you ship traditional plugins, you are done. You cannot see what is happening, you cannot fix issues quickly, and you cannot improve anything until the next major release. Concentric changes that entirely.
Deploy Instantly
A user reports a bug at noon. You fix it, push the update, and by 12:15 every user gets the fix automatically. No installer rebuild. No email blast. No waiting for people to download the patch.
Test Before You Commit
Ship your new version to 5% of users first. Watch the error rates. If something is wrong, roll back in seconds. If it looks good, roll out to everyone. Like deploying web apps, but for audio plugins.
Know What Gets Used
See which parameters users actually adjust. Which presets they gravitate toward. Where they spend time and where they get stuck. Build features based on data, not forum speculation.
One CI Pipeline
One build produces one .wasm file that works on every platform. No more maintaining separate Xcode projects, Visual Studio solutions, and Linux makefiles. Your CI gets simpler. Your life gets easier.
Use the tools you already know
Your DSP code is yours. We do not force you into a proprietary framework or make you learn new paradigms. Concentric provides the runtime, the UI layer, and the distribution. You write the algorithms in whatever language you are already productive in.
JUCE AudioProcessors and raw DSP compile to WebAssembly through emscripten. Your algorithms, your signal chain, your custom classes. All portable. UI gets rebuilt with our React-based system, but your DSP ships unchanged.
First-class support for the ecosystem that is eating audio. Compile with wasm32-unknown-unknown and get zero-cost abstractions in the browser and DAW.
The functional audio language designed for this. Your Faust DSP generates WebAssembly directly. No wrapper code, no translation layers.
Web-native developers can write DSP in familiar syntax. Perfect for rapid prototyping and teams already working in the JavaScript ecosystem.
Tracktion's modern C++ alternative compiles cleanly to WASM. Get the performance you need with a language built specifically for audio DSP.
Zig, Swift, Fortran. If it compiles to WebAssembly, it runs in Concentric. The runtime is agnostic to how you build your DSP.
We provide SDKs and examples for the major languages, but the WASM interface is documented and open. If your toolchain outputs standard WebAssembly, it works.
Your Catalog. Better Distribution.
You do not need to rebuild your plugins. Your existing DSP, your existing sound. Concentric is a new distribution channel that removes the friction standing between your products and the people who want to use them.
Trials That Convert
A producer finds your plugin, clicks Try, and is using it in their DAW within seconds. In their session. With their audio. The distance between "this looks interesting" and "this sounds great" nearly disappears. That is when people buy.
Finally, Real Data
Today you ship a plugin and hope it works. With Concentric you see which features matter, which get ignored, where users get stuck. Product decisions based on actual usage instead of support ticket sentiment.
New Revenue Models
Subscription access to your whole catalog. Rent-to-own. Trial-to-purchase with no friction. Concentric handles delivery and updates. Billing integrations coming soon.
The Industry Is Moving. We Are Ready.
Where the market is headed
The next wave of music producers grew up with instant everything. They stream their music, their movies, their games. When they open Ableton or Logic, they expect the same experience. A plugin that needs a 10-minute install process feels broken to them. Concentric meets that expectation without forcing anyone to change their DAW or their workflow. They keep using what they know. The plugins just work better.
Browser DAWs are coming
Ableton, Logic, and FL Studio will not disappear. But browser-based DAWs are getting real. Bandlab already has millions of users. When web-native production becomes mainstream, only plugins built on portable runtimes like WebAssembly will work there. Concentric plugins already do.
What Concentric gives you that traditional plugins cannot
Audio Distribution. Finally Modern.
We are building the infrastructure we wish existed. A world where shipping a plugin feels like shipping a web app. Where your code runs everywhere without per-platform builds. Where you can fix a bug in minutes instead of months. If that sounds like the future you want to work in, we should talk.
