01
One amount control
`AJI` is the main intensity control, so the workflow stays quick and musical.
MATASHI · product detail
A subtle finishing texture for your bus.
MATASHI is a texture enhancer for buses and the mix bus. It adds presence, body, and bite without turning into a harsh exciter by default.
02
Three flavors
`SHIO`, `DASHI`, and `YAKI` each give the bus a different texture and character.
03
Fair A/B checks
`AUTO GAIN`, `OUTPUT TRIM`, and latency-matched `BYPASS` help you compare honestly.
04
Launch scope
Windows `VST3`, macOS `AU` and `VST3`, `Standalone`, Gumroad-first checkout, and no online activation.
How to use it
Start with `AUTO GAIN` on, then compare the flavor at bus level.
The quick start guide keeps the first session simple: insert MATASHI on a stereo bus or mix bus, set `AJI` around `25` to `40`, then compare `SHIO`, `DASHI`, and `YAKI` against `BYPASS`.
- Master bus: `AJI 15-30`, usually `SHIO` or `DASHI`
- Drum bus: `AJI 30-45`, start with `DASHI`
- Vocal bus: `AJI 20-35`, start with `SHIO`
- Use `OUTPUT TRIM` only for final level correction
