Buildup Guy

One knob for the whole build-up

Buildup Guy turns one Build knob into a full riser: a resonant high-pass sweep, a tempo-synced delay and a growing reverb, all moving together.

What it does

The whole build-up, one knob.

One Build knob

Turn it up and the high-pass climbs, the delay feeds back harder and the reverb opens up — the whole build-up in one move you can automate.

Synced to your tempo

Delay locks to the host BPM at 1/4, dotted 1/8, 1/8 or 1/16, so the echoes always sit in the groove.

Shape every stage

Filter, Resonance, Delay and Reverb depth knobs set how far each effect follows the Build, with a smooth Output trim.

Light on CPU

About 0.15% of one CPU core per instance on an Apple Silicon Mac, with zero latency — stack it on every bus.

Made to watch

Buildup Guy dances to your kick and gets more excited as the build rises, with a live view of the filter sweep.
