The MidiShaper Black Friday deal covers Cableguys' MIDI modulator plugin for $29, which is 40% off, with the offer ending Dec 1, 2026.
MidiShaper is a MIDI CC modulator. It puts Cableguys' drawable LFOs onto synths and effects that respond to MIDI CC, whether they run as software or hardware, vintage or modern.
The plugin has 4 editable LFOs and 4 classic AHDSR envelopes. A modulation routing matrix connects those four sources to your targets.
The targets are Pitch Bend, Mod Wheel, channel Aftertouch and up to 6 MIDI CCs of your choice.
In the maker's words, this gives you full control over those destinations. Everything leaves the plugin as MIDI.
You draw the shape yourself. Curves, steps, ramps or any other shape take seconds to build, and the result goes out as MIDI.
Synced LFOs follow your DAW timeline automatically, at lengths from 32 bars down to a 128th note.
Free-running LFOs go from 0.02Hz up to 5.24kHz, analogue-style, with no tie to the timeline.
Each LFO can fade in and out through its own AHDSR envelope. The envelope is triggered by MIDI notes.
You can also restart any LFO's phase with MIDI notes. That gives you patterns that track each note you play.
If you want a starting point, the waveform library is sorted into categories, so you can browse shapes before drawing your own.
On Windows, MidiShaper needs Windows 7, 8, 10 or 11 (64-bit) and a VST 2, VST 3 or AAX host DAW.
On Mac, it needs Mac OS X 10.13 or later, an Intel or Apple Silicon processor, and a host DAW that loads VST 2, VST 3, AU or AAX.
