Every core plugin, one window. Wavefront, Groundwaves, Tidewaves, Firewaves, Airwaves, Spacewaves, Redline and Meridian, as modules in one reorderable rack, verified bit-exact against running them standalone in series.
Each module is the actual plugin's unmodified source, compiled straight into the binary, not a host loading separate AU/VST3 instances.
The 8-module order is fully adjustable. Drag any rack module onto another and Refinery runs that exact signal path, nothing is fixed.
Every module gets its own 0–100% mix fader and on/off switch, on the rack and on a dedicated mixer page that always tracks the current chain order.
At default order, every module on and 100% wet, output is sample-exact against the same 8 plugins run standalone in series, 0 differing samples.
Total latency never shifts when modules are toggled on or off or dragged into a new order.
A custom chain order round-trips exactly through a full state save/reload cycle.
Smash Refinery is built, auval-passing, and sample-exact in automated chain-equivalence testing. Real-world in-DAW listening and VST3 host testing are still in progress. Included free with the $169 Elemental Mastering Suite, along with Dropzone, our delivery workflow app, also included free. Or $49 on its own as the rack host. $5 from every purchase goes to BC Children's Hospital Foundation.
