Kirin Hypha lands as a free, open-source measurement plugin that pairs a PRE before your processing chain with a POST after it. Drop PRE at the input for LUFS-M, recent True Peak, and Crest Factor, while POST reports the difference across the pair. You can run twelve pairs inside a single project.
Watch mode needs no Kirin OS, no account, no cloud connection. Grab a Kirin OS license and Record mode piles on PSR, Zwicker loudness under ISO 532-1, Sharpness per DIN 45692, and the session's peak True Peak. A bounce or playback stays saved as one PRE / POST record.
The True Peak self-check ran five reference signals, where the worst error hit 0.060 dB, and every result stayed within plus or minus 0.100 dBTP. Test commands, source commit, expected values, and results all sit in the open, though Kirin ran this themselves rather than any outside certification.
CPU sits around zero to one percent in a typical session, shifting with sample rate, buffer size, and active pairs. Mac users on version 12 or later get VST3 and Audio Unit across Apple Silicon and Intel, while Windows 10 and 11 run VST3. It ships under GPLv3.
