"Don’t mean to throw you for a loop, but… meet NIBBI.
The folks at Chase Bliss and CHOMPI Club released CHOMPI’s firmware under the MIT license [see the announcement post], so I’ve adapted it to run in your DAW as a VST, Audio Unit, and AAX plugin for Pro Tools.
Record and sample sounds, play them across the keyboard, layer tape-style loops, and get weird with lo-fi saturation, wow and flutter, delay, reverb, and filters.
Big thanks to Chase Bliss and CHOMPI Club for opening this up!
DEEP/4 is a painstaking recreation of one of the most powerful multi-effects processors ever built. Every algorithm has been rebuilt at the instruction level from the original 24-bit DSP hardware, preserving the exact digital character of the algorithms that made these units legendary in studios worldwide.
All 43 original algorithms, mathematically verified against the original DSP architecture. No guesswork.
Features
Four Independent Effects Engines
The DEEP/4 is a powerhouse multi-effects processor featuring 43 fully programmable, high-fidelity algorithms including reverbs, chorus, flanging, delays, distortion, and pitch shifting. Operate it as a single massive effects system, a pair of stereo processors, or four entirely independent units. Its advanced routing matrix supports true serial, parallel, and feedback configurations to sculpt complex effect topologies that conventional units simply can't touch. Flexible Multi-Unit Routing
Run all four units in series for massive effect chains, split them into parallel paths for layered textures, or use feedback routing to create evolving, self-modulating soundscapes. DEEP/4 provides independent routing control for each pair (A/B and C/D) plus a main bus link — supporting serial, parallel, and two feedback configurations with adjustable feedback amount. Use it as a single 4-unit processor, two independent stereo pairs, or four standalone effects. 43 Algorithms Across 7 Categories
From lush reverbs and complex multi-tap delays to pitch shifters, dynamics processors, and guitar amp simulations — every algorithm from the original hardware is here, rebuilt at the instruction level and fully programmable.
