Hi everyone,
I’m building a Windows VST3 plugin called TimingJudge and I’m looking for a small group of beta testers.
The idea is simple: it detects electric guitar pick attacks, compares them to the DAW grid, and gives feedback on how early or late each note is.
Current beta features:
- DAW BPM sync
- 16th-note timing error in ms
- per-hit score
- Perfect / Great / Good / Normal / Bad / Miss feedback
- recent hit history
- detection modes for normal picking, legato, low strings/chords, and sustained notes
It’s mainly aimed at rhythm guitar practice, especially palm-muted riffs, metal rhythm guitar, and 16th-note picking.
This is not a finished commercial release yet. I’m looking for feedback on detection accuracy, UI, and whether the scoring feels useful.
Current build:
- Windows VST3
- Tested mainly in Cubase
- Offline beta license key
There are also several detection modes:
Normal
For most standard picking situations.
Legato
For tapping, hammer-ons, pull-offs, and legato playing.
I recommend setting Sensitivity close to 1.0 for this mode.
Low String / Chord
For low strings, power chords, and heavier rhythm parts.
I recommend starting with Sensitivity around 0.1–0.3 to avoid false triggers.
Sustained Notes
For broken chords, arpeggiated parts, or situations where notes overlap and ring out.
If you record electric guitar and want to test it, comment or DM me. I’ll send beta licenses to a small number of testers.
Also happy to hear criticism or feature suggestions.
