The full story

Using the $20 Pro plan with Opus 5, the poster built five VST3 plugins for Ableton across two sessions without using half of their 5-hour limit. Installing JUCE and CMake took about 20 minutes.

The plugins are a distortion, reverb and delay; a Yamaha DX7 style synth; a T-RackS style mastering chain; a Minimoog style synth; and a Maschine and MPC style sampler. The poster says they sound great and that it got them making beats again.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.
