About Chiral Audio
Chiral Audio™ is an independent audio plugin studio. The digital signal processing (DSP) is governed by equations that describe real physical mechanisms, not metaphors or vague language.
Founder
Chiral was founded by Blake Corman in early 2026. Blake holds a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from the University of Tennessee, with graduate coursework completed in physical chemistry at Vanderbilt University.
Blake has over seven years' experience in product development, spanning skincare and enterprise software. He's worked on household brands like Dove and Dollar Shave Club at Unilever, and most recently led Meltwater's Media Relations platform used by over 10,000 clients worldwide, including much of the Fortune 1000.
Music production has run alongside the science and product development the whole time. Piano since childhood. Electronic music production for five years. Chiral is the convergence of those two trajectories: physical-science fluency expressed through audio engineering.
Approach
Plugin marketing tends toward sonic adjectives: warm, lush, vintage, character. Chiral takes a different posture. Each product implements a specific governing equation. Kuramoto for synchronization. Logistic growth for autocatalytic resonance. Korteweg-de Vries for solitary waves. The knobs you turn map to terms in the equations: you're playing science as an instrument.
Three principles inform every release:
- Mechanism-first design. The product is named for what it computes. The equation is the brand.
- Claims that match artifacts. If Foxfire promises sixteen coupled oscillators, sixteen are running.
- Independent operation. Solo developer. US-based. Direct support from the same person who wrote the code.
Status
Eight products are released: Foxfire, Autocatalysis, Soliton, Boltzmann, Anderson Freeze, Geodesic, Arrhenius, and Anneal. The first three make up Catalog V1; Boltzmann through Arrhenius make up Catalog V2; Anneal opens the next wave. Each catalog is sold individually or as a discounted bundle, the Catalog V1 Bundle and the Catalog V2 Bundle. macOS 11+ ships VST3, AU, and Standalone, signed, notarized, and stapled, as universal binaries native to both Apple Silicon and Intel. Windows 10+ ships VST3, unsigned at launch. Linux and Max for Live are not part of the catalog.
Beyond the released catalog, Chemotaxis (gradient-driven steering through a chemical field), Osmotic (equilibration across a semipermeable boundary), and Hysteresis (state shaped by input history) remain in development. No release dates announced.
