About Temecula DSP

Temecula DSP goes beyond what other plugin companies do. Our plugins aren't modeled from impulse responses or tuned by ear. Each one is built by analyzing the original hardware at the lowest level to produce a bit-accurate reproduction of a vintage digital effects unit.

Based in Southern California's Temecula Valley - a name derived from the native Luiseño word meaning "sun shining through the mist" - it's a fitting home for a company dedicated to bringing classic studio effects back to life.

Our team brings over 25 years of software development experience combined with a deep love for music production. We became fascinated with the URSA Major Space Station after hearing "Hours" by Tycho, which has an opening guitar that sounds less like a guitar and more like an ambient pad. That sound sparked an obsession.

We're passionate about vintage digital effects from URSA Major, Alesis, and Ensoniq. Over the years we've owned and used a ton of their gear, studied their schematics, and traced their circuit boards to understand exactly how these machines work. That hands-on knowledge drives every plugin we build—these aren't emulations that approximate the sound, they're faithful recreations built from deep analysis of the original hardware.

Every plugin gets used in our own productions. Nothing ships that we wouldn't reach for ourselves. Download a demo and hear the difference.
