PluginONE
Play with Audio Unit Plugins
Imagine this: a drum machine running in one window, a sequenced bassline locked to tempo in another, and an arpeggiated synth evolving in a third, all perfectly synced. Activate Hold on a tab and let a loop, a sustained chord, an acid-style bassline, or even an ambient rain texture run while you experiment on top. No complex routing, no overwhelming interfaces, just pure, tempo-aligned musical exploration. Play from any MIDI controller or keyboard, let sequences and drum patterns run in sync, and use the built-in Virtual Keyboard whenever you need to latch a note or loop with Hold and shift your focus to the next sound.
PluginONE is your playground for Audio Unit plugins, test, play, explore, and now sync everything to your session tempo without the complexity of a full DAW. Whether you’re discovering new sounds or building real musical ideas, PluginONE lets you focus on what matters: playing.
With the introduction of Tempo Sync and per-tab Hold, PluginONE evolves from a simple testing environment into a tempo-aware creative space. Arpeggiators, LFOs, delays, modulation engines and sequencers inside modern synths now follow your host BPM automatically — exactly as they would in a production session.

Modern instruments increasingly rely on host-synced functionality: arpeggiators, delays, loops, rhythmic phrases, sequencers, modulation systems, LFOs and more are designed to lock automatically to the session BPM. PluginONE respects that logic, allowing you to explore instruments the way they are truly meant to behave, in perfect time.
Built by the makers of ONE Instrument, PluginONE celebrates the joy of musical discovery and spontaneous creativity, now with the rhythmic continuity modern creators expect
