Cross-track groove-transfer plugin. GrooveTransfer extracts the rhythmic groove of one track — the transient envelope that makes it feel the way it does — and stamps it onto another by riding that track’s volume in time with it. The kick pumps the bass, the drums make the pad breathe, the vocal ducks its own delay. Instances pair by name over shared memory: no MIDI, no sidechain routing, no cables in your DAW.

Sidechain compression borrows another track’s energy — but it needs a bus, and it only ducks. GrooveTransfer moves the whole rhythmic envelope: put a Sender on the track whose feel you want, a Receiver on the track you want to move, pair them by name, and the receiver rides its own dynamics to the sender’s groove.

🎯 Envelope follower
A fast/slow detector pair isolates the transient groove of the source — the hits, not the hum — tuned by Sensitivity, Attack and Release.

🔗 Shared-memory pairing
Instances discover each other automatically and pair by name — across tracks, busses, even between plugin formats. The link survives project reloads.

🎚️ Ride or duck
Positive Mix makes the target move with the groove; negative Mix ducks it against the groove — classic “make room”, no compressor needed.

Under the hood it’s one honest move: an automatic volume ride. The receiver keeps 100% of its own sound — GrooveTransfer simply moves its level up and down (up to ±24 dB, as smoothly or as snappily as you set it), like a fader ridden in perfect time with the source’s hits. Not a compressor, not an LFO — the feel of one track, played by another.

The Sender’s envelope follower traces the drums’ transients (SOURCE below). That groove envelope is broadcast over shared memory, and the Receiver uses it to ride the volume of its own audio — the sustained pad (TARGET) starts pumping in time, smoothed by your Attack and Release. The pad still sounds exactly like your pad; it just moves like the drums.

🥁 Groove Envelope Transfer
A fast/slow follower pair extracts the transient envelope of the source and applies it to the target’s dynamics — the feel moves, the sound stays.

🔗 No MIDI, No Sidechain
Instances pair by name over lock-free shared memory — across tracks, busses and plugin formats. Nothing to route, nothing to configure in the DAW.

🎚️ Ride or Duck (±24 dB)
Positive Mix rides the target with the groove; negative Mix ducks it against the groove for instant “make room” — depth fully automatable.

👥 Sender · Receiver · Both
Up to 16 instances share the registry. Chain “Both” instances so a whole percussion section breathes with one common groove.

📈 Live Scope & Hints
A 1.5-second envelope scope shows exactly what you broadcast or receive, hover hints explain every control, and the peer selector warns you if the selected peer is receive-only.

🖱️ Resizable Interface
Drag the corner grip from 60% to 300% — the window keeps its aspect ratio and the size is saved with your project.

🦵 Kick → Bass
Sender on the kick, Receiver on the bass, short attack — the bass pumps in time with the kick, no sidechain compressor, no bus.

🌫️ Drums → Pad
A longer release turns a static pad into a breathing one that follows the drum groove — glue without a compressor in sight.

🎤 Vocal → Delay
Sender on the vocal, Receiver with negative Mix on the delay return — the echoes duck while the singer sings and bloom in the gaps.

🥁 One Groove, Whole Kit
Chain instances in “Both” mode across percussion layers so shakers, hats and toms all lock to the same pocket.
