About Sinuslabs

It started in Berlin.

Sinuslabs is one person: Oskar Schachtschneider, making plugins for Windows, macOS and Linux.

“While working at Native Instruments, I gained industry insights but disliked its profit-driven focus and closed nature.”

  1. 12

    Berlin, and Hardstyle radio doing most of the raising. I started making tracks at twelve — Dirty Dutch, Electro, everything loud.

  2. 19

    Started DJing. VOID Club, KitKat Club, MBia.

  3. Native Instruments

    I studied computer science and took a job at Native Instruments — as a web developer, not an audio one. Then I dropped out: real-world experience was worth more than the degree.

  4. Source

    Most of my plugins are open under GPLv3. Some aren't. I open what I can and don't make a religion of it.

  5. Patchwerk

    Five plugins out, and now the one I'm most excited about: a visual DSP editor with AI built in. Patch the sound, design the interface, ship a real native plugin. patchwerk.dev
