Audio plugin for custom MP3 distortion and digital glitches

MAIM is an audio plugin that circuit bends MP3 and Opus encoders in real time, disrupting the control flow sending data down unexpected paths to create digital distortions. With heavily hacked real MP3 encoders at its core, MAIM gives you the full gamut of digital distortion, from the realistic to the fantastical.

MAIM features two real MP3 encoders (and, as of version 1.1.0, the real Opus encoder), captured in the wild and painstakingly incorporated into a real-time plugin.
We've woven mad-science circuit bending into MAIM's MP3 encoders, to give you fine control over a whole palette of spectral distortions and face-melting glitches.
All knobs can be smoothly dragged and automated, without pops or gaps in the sound.
MAIM works across DAWs, on Mac (AU/VST3), Windows (VST3), and even Linux (VST3).
MAIM is licensed under the GPL v3.0 license, so you are free to use and even modify it, as long as any redistribution of the software is under the same license.
If you encounter any issues, or have an idea for something that would improve MAIM, please raise an issue on the GitHub page.

Maim took a long time to make. If you enjoy MAIM and want to see more plugins like it in the future, tips are always welcome.
