About the collective
We make plugins you own.
Mango Tuesday is a small collective of artists and audio engineers building studio-grade plugins for music makers: the kind of tools the big houses now rent by the month, made instead to be bought and owned.
The collective
We are a music-artist collective: people who write, produce and mix, and who also happen to build the software they wished existed. Mango Tuesday is the name we release that work under. It is a workshop more than a company, a place to make a small number of carefully-built instruments and effects, and to stand behind them.
The industry drifted toward subscriptions, license servers and ecosystems designed to keep you paying. We think a producer should be able to buy a great tool, install it on their machines, and open their old sessions in ten years without asking anyone's permission. That belief is the whole reason this exists.
What we make
Mango Tuesday designs and sells audio plugins: software instruments and effects for digital audio workstations such as Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase and Reaper. Every release ships in the standard professional formats: VST3, Audio Unit (AU) and a Standalone app, and runs natively on both macOS and Windows.
They are sold as one-time digital purchases. You pay once, download the installer, and receive a licence to use the plugin on your own machines. No recurring fees, no hardware dongle, no online check-in to make a sound. Updates within a version are free.
The instruments
Two are in the workshop now, with more behind them:
-
BettrEQ Parametric EQ
A 24-band parametric equaliser with dynamic bands, linear-phase and zero-latency modes, EQ-match and a live sketch tool: the depth of a flagship, without the flagship lease.
VST3 · AU · Standalone
-
Voicr Chord Performer
Play full chord voicings from single keys: 96 voicings across jazz, neo-soul, gospel and lo-fi, scale-locked, with strum, arp and humanise: an idea machine for harmony.
VST3 · AU · Standalone
How buying will work
When the doors open, you will buy directly from this site. Checkout and payments are handled by Stripe; we never see or store your card details. The moment a payment clears you receive an emailed receipt, a download link for the installer, and your licence, typically within seconds. Because these are downloadable digital goods, each sale is final, with the exceptions set out in our Terms (for example, a plugin that will not run on a supported system we cannot fix).
What we promise
- No subscriptions. Pay once for a plugin, never by the month.
- No dongles, no rent. Authorise on your own machines and work offline.
- Fully featured. No tiers that hide the useful half behind a paywall.
- Cross-platform. macOS and Windows, VST3 / AU / Standalone, every release.
- Yours to keep. The version you buy keeps working: your sessions open tomorrow, and in ten years.
