About Cableguys
Cableguys is a German audio software company based in Hamburg, best known for developing innovative LFO, modulation, and effects plugins that give producers fine control over the rhythmic and dynamic behavior of audio signals. Their flagship product ShaperBox has become an industry-standard creative effect, combining multiple shape-based modulation processors—volume, pan, filter, time, and more—into a flexible and visually intuitive plugin that produces everything from sidechaining effects to experimental audio sculpture. Cableguys' MidiShaper allows any VST to be modulated rhythmically in creative ways. The brand is particularly beloved in electronic and dance music production communities where dynamic and rhythmic modulation effects are central to the genre's energy.
