Flint plugin interface

Drum replacement shouldn't be a project. Flint is a fast, focused trigger plugin built for engineers and producers who need clean, accurate sample replacement without fighting their tools to get it. Drop it on a track, dial it in, hit play. Bring your own samples — any format, any library, no strings attached. No iLok. No subscriptions. No ecosystem to buy into. Just a tool that does what you need it to do and stays out of the rest.

Why Flint

Most drum trigger plugins were designed to sell you samples. Flint was designed to replace drums. That distinction shapes everything — from the interface to the licensing to the file format support. If you've ever spent more time wrestling with a plugin than actually mixing, you know exactly why we built this differently.

Release Notes

v1.5 Latest Mar 2026

Native Apple Silicon build. We also added a retrigger holdoff control per slot — useful when you're working with fast rolls or flams and don't want double fires. Presets are here too: 12 starting points to get you going.

  • Fixed a crash when loading .aif files over 2GB
  • Tightened transient detection at low threshold settings
v1.4 Jan 2026

Phase invert per slot. If you're layering a sample on top of the source and getting cancellation, one click fixes it. Also added a sample start offset with a waveform view so you can trim the head visually instead of guessing.

  • Velocity curves now save correctly with your session
  • ~15% less CPU when idle
v1.3 Nov 2025

Velocity mapping landed. Soft ghost notes trigger quietly, hard hits trigger loud — adjustable curve so you can dial in the feel. Added an input level meter so you can see what Flint sees. And Cmd+Z now undoes any parameter change.

  • Fixed AU validation in Logic Pro 11
v1.2 Sep 2025

Per-slot transient shaper. You can now shape the attack and sustain of each sample independently — boost the crack of a snare, tame the ring on a tom. Gain-matched so your levels stay consistent.

  • Fixed drag-and-drop in Ableton 12
v1.1 Jul 2025

Went from 2 to 4 sample slots. Each slot now has its own pitch control. We also added tooltips on every parameter — hover anything to see what it does.

  • Fixed latency compensation reporting to host
v1.0 May 2025

First release. Dual envelope transient detection, 2 sample slots, drag-and-drop loading. AU & VST3 for macOS 13+. Zero latency, no iLok.
