Forgex: channel utility & stereo toolkit

Forgex free channel utility & stereo toolkit UI

The Swiss army knife that goes on every track.

Gain, pan, stereo width, phase, channel routing, low-end mono, and safety limiting in one dead-simple utility, with real-time correlation and level metering so you always know what your signal is doing.

macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel): AU, VST3, CLAP, AAX, Standalone. Signed and notarized by Apple.

Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit: VST3, CLAP, Standalone. Authenticode signed.

AAX ships on macOS only.

  • Phase Invert: independent left and right channel polarity flip
  • Mono: sum to mono for instant mono compatibility checks
  • Channel Routing: Stereo, Swap L/R, Left Only, Right Only, Mid Only, Side Only
  • DC Filter: removable 5 Hz high-pass to strip DC offset
  • Low-End Monomizer: sums frequencies below an adjustable crossover (20–500 Hz) to mono
  • ISP Limiter: inter-sample peak limiting with a -0.1 dB ceiling
  • Bypass: clean A/B against the source

🔬 Under the Hood

  • Low-End Monomizer uses a 4th-order Linkwitz-Riley crossover to split the signal, mono the lows, and phase-coherently recombine.
  • DC filter is a 5 Hz high-pass that removes DC offset introduced by nonlinear stages upstream.
  • ISP Limiter performs inter-sample peak detection with instant attack and ~50 ms release, holding a -0.1 dB ceiling; when disabled, a transparent soft clipper guards the output.
  • Width is implemented in the mid/side domain for mono-compatible stereo control.
