Amorph is a FREE plugin that turns text prompts into fully functioning instruments and effectsIndie developer team Artists in DSP have created a free text-to-DSP plugin which they say can be used to turn any text prompt into a working FX or instrument.
Meet Amorph, a free piece of software which arrives with the bold goal of “democratising audio programming”, by allowing musicians and producers to harness AI to “amplify their creative potential”.
“Amorph removes the barrier between the idea in a musician’s head and the signal in their DAW,” Artists in DSP writes. “Users simply describe the effect, and the plugin builds it for them.”

An example of how the plugin might work in practice is as follows:

Prompt: User types the sound, instrument or effect they want in plain english
Generate: Amorph’s AI writes the DSP code for the idea in real time.
Play: AI-generated code allows the user to play with a fully functional effects processor or instrument

Amorph appears to be aimed chiefly at those with little to no coding knowledge, but it’s worth noting the plugin does grant “full access” to its Cmajor engine, meaning more code-savvy producers can tweak AI-generated instruments or effects, or even write them from scratch. 
“The most important feature of Amorph is freedom. You do not need to know how to code to use it,” Artists in DSP says.

Amorph is currently in its stable beta stage, and is being beta tested by Discord users to ensure it writes reliable code.
“I have spent about 20 years buying plug-ins and never really releasing anything.” One writes. “Total waste of money but now at least I can make my own ‘new toys’ without feeling guilty. [It’s] hard to describe how awesome this thing is.”
In terms of system requirements, Amorph demands MacOS 10.13 or later, or Windows 10/11 (64-bit). Artists in DSP also notes that the plugin is compatible with most major DAWs, including Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Reaper and Bitwig.
