Bom Shanka Machines came about in the summer of 2017 when Rich Elms decided that some of his favorite plugins were macOS-only (such as mgTriggerGate and Whirlpool) and that could only be fixed by building them yourself. Starting with asimilonGate, he began to study the necessary tools to implement this.
Rich has a long history of making music, he has been an electronic musician since 1996 and has produced under various aliases, both solo (Asimilon and Teknoton) and collaborations (Psymmetrix and others), and an even longer history of computer programming; Using this knowledge and experience, as well as the contributions of its record label colleagues, Bom Shanka Machines is reflected in creating effective tools for music production.
Our ongoing mission is to create useful and (hopefully) innovative plugins for all musicians working on Windows, macOS, and Linux:
Bom Shanka Machines aardvarkkPhaser v1.0.7
Bom Shanka Machines asimilonGate v1.1.8
Bom Shanka Machines chrisGlitch v1.0.18
Bom Shanka Machines psymmetrix .3.3
