Vocal chain · 7-day trial
Astra A-Vocal FX
Nine processes for one voice, already chained in the order you use them: tuning, EQ, compressor, de-esser, chorus, width, delay, reverb and limiter. With the measurements published, like everything we make.
✦ Today · Four EQs
Your subscription isn't a sampler any more, it's a suite
Four EQs are out today: the A-Pre EQ, the A-Channel EQ, the A-Program EQ and the A-500. They join the subscription for the same price as always — if you're already in, you pay nothing extra — and they're also sold on their own, at €42.35 incl. taxes each.

The catalogue
We started with a sampler and carried on down the chain: dynamics, EQ, and the tools we needed ourselves. Everything here you can use today.
Subscription · €99/year €119.882 months free · or €9.99/month · incl. taxes
The Astra subscription
Ten plugins in one subscription: Astra Sampler FX, with 18 packs and 15 Planets from real producers inside, five compressors — the A-2A, the A-3A, the A-2Bus, the A-76 and the Astrassor — and four EQs — the A-Pre EQ, the A-Channel EQ, the A-Program EQ and the A-500 — with no price increase.
Optical leveller · €42.35 incl. taxes or in the subscription
Astra A-3A
A T4 cell with two-stage release and programme memory: the one that holds a vocal still without showing. Measured ratio 3.00:1, spot on the hardware it models.
Bus compressor · €42.35 incl. taxes or in the subscription
Astra A-2Bus
The glue on your mix bus, with parallel compression inside the plug-in itself. No threshold drift: 0.000 dB between raising the input and lowering the threshold.
FET limiter · in the subscription new
Astra A-76
A solid-state FET limiter with no threshold: a 26 µs attack and just 0.125 ms of latency, with 8x oversampling.
Compressor · in the subscription new
Astrassor
A compressor with no threshold to set, five ratios — from 1:1 to NOVA, which pushes so hard it overshoots — two harmonic distortions and zero latency.
Optical compressor · €42.35 incl. taxes
A-2A
A valve optical for settling a vocal or a bus. Zero latency, 3.11:1 ratio with a soft knee, and no hidden makeup gain. One payment of €42.35 incl. taxes, a permanent licence and updates included — and it is in the subscription too.
Preamp and EQ · €42.35 incl. taxes or in the subscription new
A-Pre EQ
Class-A preamp with transformers and a three-band EQ. DRIVE changes the colour without changing the volume: 0.000 dB of drift across its thirteen steps.
Channel EQ · €42.35 incl. taxes or in the subscription new
A-Channel EQ
Four-band channel EQ with filters and two characters. A bell at 16 kHz is 0.21 dB off the analogue curve; a classic digital filter, 6.60.
Passive valve EQ · €42.35 incl. taxes or in the subscription new
A-Program EQ
Passive valve EQ with the low-end trick: boost and cut at once at 20 Hz give +3.00 dB and a −2.00 dB dip, like on the hardware.
Rack of three EQs · €42.35 incl. taxes or in the subscription new
A-500
Three EQs in one rack — three bands, four bands and a ten-band graphic — in whatever order you like. Zero latency in every mode.
And what comes next
There are more finished plugins — compressors, EQs and utilities — coming out one at a time as we finish measuring and testing them. We do not give dates until we are sure: we would rather be late than announce something that is not there.
Try it yourself
Don't take our word for anything. Pick a sound, hit play and turn the only knob we give you: the mix. What crosses from one side to the other is the real audio — the processed side of all three compressors was rendered by the plug-in itself, loudness-matched to the decimal so you compare character, not volume.
Astra Sampler FX
From raw sample to beat
Your sample never leaves your browser: it is sliced right here on an 8-hit grid with one reversed hit, the same pattern as the demos. The plugin's CHOP does this and much more: pre-listen, every cut on a key, WARP…
A-2A
Dry versus compressed
Your sample never leaves your browser: it is processed right here with an approximation of the A-2A (its measured curves: 3.11:1 with a 7.5 dB soft knee). The real plugin, with its optical cell, sounds better.
A-3A
Dry against levelled
Your sample never leaves your browser: it is processed right here with an approximation of the A-3A (its measured curves: 3.00:1 and 1.43 ms attack). The plug-in's release runs in two stages with programme memory; this one is single-stage. The real thing breathes better.
A-2Bus
Loose against glued
Your sample never leaves your browser: it is processed right here with an approximation of the A-2Bus (4:1, 10 dB knee, 10 ms attack). The plug-in's AUTO release is two stages of 100 ms and 12 s, which is exactly what stops it pumping; this one is single-stage.
The Planets
Each Planet is a real producer's sound world inside the Sampler: their textures, their melodies, their take on phonk. These fifteen already have theirs — and while your subscription is active, new worlds keep landing.

Quick questions
Does it work in my DAW?
The Sampler runs as VST3, AU and Standalone: FL Studio, Ableton, Logic, Reaper and any compatible DAW. macOS 10.13+ (Intel), 11+ (Apple Silicon) and 64-bit Windows. The A-2A runs as VST3 and AU on Mac (universal Intel and Apple Silicon) and as VST3 on Windows.
Does the trial charge me anything?
The trial lasts 7 days and starts with a card, but nothing is charged until day 8. Cancel before that and you pay nothing at all.
What happens to my beats if I cancel?
They are yours, always: everything you make with Astra is royalty-free and stays yours even if you cancel. Nothing you already exported is ever touched.
How do I activate my license?
When you buy (or start the trial) you get an email from Lemon Squeezy with your key: paste it on the plugin's activation screen and you're in. Up to 2 machines. The full guide is on Download & install.
Monthly or yearly?
Monthly is €9.99/month; yearly is €99 in one charge a year — that's €8.25/month: you save €20.88 against 12 months of monthly (€119.88), like getting 2 months free. Both are subscriptions and renew on their own until you cancel. Everything else is identical: same full plugin, same packs and every new Planet as it lands.
How do I cancel the subscription?
Every Lemon Squeezy receipt has a «Manage subscription» link: open it, cancel, done — no phone calls. You keep access until the end of the period you already paid.
Does the A-2A run on Windows?
Yes. The A-2A runs on macOS (VST3 and AU, universal Intel and Apple Silicon) and on 64-bit Windows (VST3). Everything we build ships for both platforms.
