Analog Realism - Est. 2026 - Helsinki Catalogue 01 / 2026

Real circuit physics,
nothing more.

We build component-level accurate DAW audio plugins around a shared voltage rail - a distinctive approach to analog modeling where every component affects every other component, all the time, creating microscopic differences. The result is realistic analog behaviour emerging from interacting circuit models, verified with 2,000+ signal measurements. See our test results for yourself. We always publish everything openly.

Real analog audio hardware sounds magically alive, punchy, and three-dimensional because everything inside the machine is connected and react together - when the compressor pushes hard, the power supply sags, the transformers respond, and the EQ shifts. Analog Realism's results are verified to behave in a similar way. For producers who hear the difference.

01 / Featured release

A master bus processor that's a real, alive circuit
- not a chain of code.

Featured release · v1.6.9 · 2026

Sphinx 101
Master Bus Processor

Thirty-four interacting analog mechanisms. Three circuit topologies - SLL, Nevy, Amok - each modeled at the component level. Supplemented with world-known hardware circuits - Pultey, Nevy, SLL, Amok and Maney - for EQ, Filter and all Dynamic Modules. Verified across 2,000+ automated measurements.

02 / New product

Real physics-based analog summing - just like in a large console.

New product · v1.0.1 · 2026

Sphinx Channel
Analog Summing

A component-modeled channel strip meant for every track - input transformer, three drive circuits, TrueRail grades, width stage. Every instance connects to a shared virtual console frame: supply loading, mains-ripple phase, channel bleed, ground, and heat are shared across the whole session, like strips in one desk.

03 / Philosophy

Three principles. Practised, not just printed.

  • 01 - Component, not curve

    Every circuit, transistor, tube, transformer core and capacitor modeled from published component physics.

    Sound emerges from how the modeled components interact, not from a static black-box filter or an orphaned curve.

  • 02 - Verified, not asserted

    2,000+ automated measurements across thirteen independent test suites.

    Zero failures. The test results ship with the plugin and are public on this site.

  • 03 - Yours to keep

    One-time web activation. Offline forever. Your serial works on two machines.

    No subscriptions or telemetry. The plugin never calls home - everyone deserves privacy, and we just make instruments.
