Yo, trying out msh today. Basically FL Studio Patcher for every DAW. Strong focus on patching "VST Plugins", Audio Feedback and Sharing patches with others. Let me know if you're interested in more tutorials or patching Ideas with this one (kinda steep price).

I hope Bitwig addds better Audio Feedback and VST in the Grid in the future. I know this is kinda requested since we have the Grid. Anyway, let me know what you think!

Quick Answer

Mesh is a new modular VST patching environment launching May 25, designed mainly for routing existing VST instruments/effects, adding built-in modulators and utilities, and creating/shareable plugin patches.

It is not a visual coding system like Plug Data/Reaktor, not a VCV Rack-style Eurorack ecosystem, and not as fine-grained as Bitwig Grid; it’s closer to FL Studio Patcher with drag-and-drop plugin chains, modulation, and routing.

Key features include built-in modules such as oscillators, envelopes, LFOs, distortion, EQ, multiband compression, convolver, sampler, and random/dice generators, plus support for modulating both built-in tools and VST parameters.

A major focus is feedback sound design: Mesh lets users build feedback loops between effects, and includes an integrated sampler/buffer so experiments can be captured and dragged out to a DAW, sampler, or file.

Pricing mentioned: $149 preorder, rising to about $200 after launch; it comes in instrument and FX plugin versions, supports patch sharing through an account/login system, and is aimed at users who want more experimental plugin routing without learning a full modular programming environment.

This Plugin Turns ANY VST Into a Modular Playground

In this video I’m checking out **Mesh**, a new modular plugin environment that lets you patch normal VST plugins together with built-in modules, modulation, feedback loops and snapshot morphing. It is not a visual programming tool like Plug Data, not a Eurorack-style system like VCV Rack, and not as fine-grained as Bitwig Grid. It feels much more like a modular playground built around the plugins you already own. I go through what Mesh actually is, how the built-in modules work, how you can morph between plugin states, build feedback patches, record experiments into the sampler, and use your favorite VST effects in much more creative ways than a normal linear chain. If you are into sound design, feedback, weird textures and experimental routing, this thing is pretty interesting. msh website: 👉 https://polarity.me/go.php?c=msh 0:00 What Mesh is and what it is not 0:55 Built-in effects, modulation and patch sharing 1:35 Feedback handling and integrated sampler 2:17 Price, launch date and plugin versions 2:49 Empty patch overview and browser 3:38 Loading the built-in oscillator 4:20 First sound and polyphony 4:50 Oscillator editing, harmonics and warp modes 5:53 Adding an LFO and modulation routing 6:47 Duplicating modules and patching multiple oscillators 7:48 Phase modulation and FM experiments 8:35 Strange polyphony behavior with two oscillators 9:48 Adding Supermassive as a VST effect 10:30 Snapshot A/B states and morphing 12:00 Modulating the morph control with an LFO 13:18 Building a feedback loop with Supermassive 14:25 Feedback drone experiment 15:32 Recording and dragging audio out of Mesh 16:03 Using Serum FX inside Mesh 17:09 Convolver, multiband compression and feedback routing 18:00 Building a bigger FX chain inside the loop 19:38 Who Mesh is actually for 20:58 More feedback patching with Supermassive and EQ 22:40 Bugs, beta state and first impressions 23:22 Modulating Serum FX parameters 24:31 Dragging the result into Bitwig Sampler 25:03 Final thoughts on where Mesh fits in the market Video transcribed, summarized and Q&A on my Blog (no ads): https://polarity.me/posts/polarity-music/2026-05-15-mesh-plugin-review-vst-patching-and-feedback-loops/ -- 💕 Support me on Patreon: https://bit.ly/3PgbxZz 💰 donate via Paypal: https://bit.ly/3cae9t8 🎧 my Music: https://polarity.bandcamp.com/ 💾 my Tools: https://polarity.me/posts/articles/2024-08-04-polarity-tools/ 💻 my Gear: https://kit.co/polarity/polarity-music-kit 👉 Discord: https://discord.gg/eWwFBww 👉 Website: https://polarity.me -- 🛒 Buy/Upgrade Bitwig Studio & Support me https://bit.ly/3yQEyDU 🛒 VST/AU Plugin Deals https://bit.ly/3zcvo66
