Licensethe short version
FREE / FREEWARE PROVIDED “AS IS” NO COOKIES NO TRACKING NO ANALYTICS

The free Ill Sea plugins are free to use and provided as a courtesy. In plain English: use them however you like, but we make no promises about how they will behave, and we are not responsible if something goes wrong with your ears, your gear, or your work. Subject to these terms, Ill Sea LLC grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the software for your own music and audio-production purposes; Ill Sea may revoke this license at any time. If you are not comfortable with any of this, do not download, install, or use the software. Paid Ill Sea software, such as ChordThing, is licensed under the Ill Sea Software License Agreement instead.

The full terms are below, disclaimer of warranties, limitation of liability, third-party notices, and our privacy / no-cookies notice.

Privacy, no cookies, no tracking
Privacywhat this site does and doesn’t do
NO COOKIESNO TRACKINGNO ANALYTICSSAME-ORIGIN ASSETS

We do not set any cookies of our own, and this site stores nothing on your device, no cookies, no localStorage, no sessionStorage. We run no analytics or tracking of any kind (no Google Analytics, no Cloudflare Web Analytics, nothing), we embed no third-party content, and we load no remote fonts, scripts, or images, every asset is served from this same site.

The only JavaScript here builds the page (the plugin lists), animates the on-screen visualizers, and runs a small in-browser player for the audio demos, all in your browser. Playing a demo (or downloading a file) streams a file hosted on this same site: an ordinary web request that stores nothing on your device and builds no profile of you. We do not collect personal data.

If you write to us, through the contact form or straight to [email protected], we receive your message and your email address so a person can read it and reply. That is the whole point of writing to us. It goes to our support inbox and nowhere else: we do not add you to any list, we do not use it for marketing, and we do not keep a copy of your message on this site. The contact form runs a Cloudflare Turnstile human-check and keeps a short-lived, one-way hashed token of your network address purely to rate-limit spam, that token is not your address and is not linked to you. When you buy or start a trial, we store the licensing details needed to issue and honor your license (covered in the license terms below). If you choose to enter your email in an optional “keep me posted” box, we store just that address to send you occasional product-update notes, nothing else, and you can ask us to remove it any time.

We control our own site and the code on it; we do not control, and cannot speak for, the internal workings of your browser or network, or the third-party sites we link to. Our web host, Cloudflare Pages, processes limited technical data (including IP addresses) in standard server logs to deliver and secure the site, and may set a strictly-necessary security cookie if bot or DDoS protection is ever enabled. Any such data is used only to deliver and protect the site, never for analytics, advertising, or tracking you across sites, and carries no personal profile. In privacy terms, Ill Sea LLC is the operator of this site and Cloudflare acts as our hosting provider (processor). If you have a privacy question, contact Ill Sea LLC.

Paid software: the license agreement
Software License AgreementVersion 1.0 - effective October 4, 2026

Paid Ill Sea software, such as ChordThing, is licensed under this agreement. The installer shows it and asks you to accept it; a copy is installed with the software (Legal\EULA.txt) and is also here as plain text.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING THE SOFTWARE.

This Software License Agreement (the "Agreement") is a legal agreement between you and Ill Sea LLC of Seattle, Washington, USA ("Ill Sea", "we", "us", "our"). It covers the Ill Sea software product it comes with (for example ChordThing and ChordThing MIDI), including its plugins, standalone applications, sounds, presets, patterns, manuals, and any updates we provide for it (together, the "Software").

BY CLICKING "I AGREE", OR BY INSTALLING, COPYING, OR USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT IT, DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THE SOFTWARE. If you bought the Software and do not accept this Agreement, you may ask us for a refund under section 10. If you accept this Agreement on behalf of a company or other organization, you confirm that you have the authority to bind it, and "you" includes that organization.

1. DEFINITIONS

"License File" means the digitally signed file we issue to you (for example "ChordThing.chordthing-license") that unlocks the Software. It carries the email address of the person it was issued to (the "Licensee").

"Full License" means a License File issued after you pay for the Software.

"Trial License" means a time-limited License File issued free of charge for evaluation.

"Demo Mode" means the Software running without a valid License File, which limits its use (for example, by muting its audio after a period of time).

2. LICENSE GRANT

Subject to your compliance with this Agreement and, for a Full License, payment of the applicable price, Ill Sea grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to install and use the Software, in executable form only, on computers that you own or control, for your own music-making and audio work, including professional and commercial work.

A License File is for one individual: the Licensee. You may install and use the Software on as many computers as you personally use, but only you may use your License File. Every other person who uses the Software needs a license of their own.

A Trial License lets you evaluate the Software until it expires. Demo Mode is for evaluation only.

The Software is licensed, not sold. All rights not expressly granted to you in this Agreement are reserved by Ill Sea and its licensors.

3. YOUR MUSIC

You own the music, recordings, audio, and MIDI you create with the Software. You may use, publish, sell, and distribute them without paying us royalties and without crediting us.

The sounds, presets, patterns, and other content included with the Software may be used inside your own music. They may not be sold, shared, or distributed on their own, or as part of a sound library, preset pack, sample pack, or any product that competes with the Software.

4. RESTRICTIONS

You may not, and may not allow or help anyone else to:

  • (a) share, publish, sell, give away, or upload your License File, or let anyone other than the Licensee use it;
  • (b) copy the Software, except to install it as allowed in section 2 and to keep reasonable backup copies;
  • (c) rent, lease, lend, sell, resell, sublicense, or otherwise transfer the Software or your license to anyone else, except with Ill Sea's prior written consent;
  • (d) remove, disable, bypass, or tamper with the Software's license verification, trial limits, or Demo Mode, or create, use, or distribute any crack, key generator, patch, modified License File, or other circumvention tool;
  • (e) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits it despite this restriction;
  • (f) modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the Software;
  • (g) remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice in the Software;
  • (h) use the Software or its content to build, train, or improve any product, service, or machine-learning model that competes with or imitates the Software; or
  • (i) use the Software in violation of any law or regulation.

5. LICENSE FILES

Your License File is checked on your own computer; the Software does not send it, or anything else about you, over the internet. Keep your License File safe: it is your proof of license. If you lose it, write to [email protected] and we will send it again.

If a License File is shared, published, or used against this Agreement, we may revoke it. Future versions and updates of the Software may refuse revoked License Files. If your License File was exposed without your fault, we will work with you to replace it.

6. UPDATES AND SUPPORT

We may, but are not required to, release updates to the Software. Updates we release are provided to holders of a Full License at no extra charge and are covered by this Agreement, unless they come with their own terms. We provide support by email ([email protected]) on a reasonable-effort basis.

7. PRIVACY

The Software does not collect personal data and does not send usage data. It connects to the internet only when you choose "Check for updates", which reads a version file from illsea.com. Our privacy notice is at illsea.com/legal.

8. FILES, PLUGINS, AND DEVICES YOU USE WITH THE SOFTWARE

You are responsible for having the rights to any files you load into the Software (such as sound banks, voice files, samples, impulse responses, or captures), and to any third-party plugins, instruments, or hardware you use with it (for example, a VST3 instrument hosted inside ChordThing MIDI). Those are not ours: their own licenses and terms apply, and Ill Sea is not responsible for them or for how they behave.

9. THIRD-PARTY COMPONENTS

The Software includes third-party software components, listed with their licenses in THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt, which is installed with the Software. Each component is governed by its own license. Nothing in this Agreement limits any right those licenses give you in those components.

10. REFUNDS

If something is not right with a paid purchase, write to [email protected] within 14 days of buying. If it is a problem we can fix, we will fix it. If we cannot, or the Software simply is not for you, we will refund the full price to your original payment method. A refund ends your license: you must stop using the Software under that license and delete your License File. This promise is in addition to any rights the law where you live gives you.

11. OWNERSHIP AND TRADEMARKS

Ill Sea and its licensors own the Software and all intellectual property rights in it. "Ill Sea", "Illthy", "ChordThing", "NoAMP", and the related names and logos are trademarks of Ill Sea LLC. This Agreement gives you no right to use them, except that you may truthfully say that your music was made with the Software.

If you send us suggestions or feedback, we may use them freely and without any obligation to you.

12. TERM AND TERMINATION

This Agreement applies from the moment you accept it until it ends. A Trial License ends when it expires. Your license ends automatically if you breach this Agreement, and Ill Sea may also end it by notice to you for a breach. When your license ends, you must stop using the Software under that license and delete your License File. Sections 3 (as to your music), 4, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18 survive the end of this Agreement.

13. HEALTH, SAFETY, AND YOUR EQUIPMENT

The Software makes sound, and sound can get loud quickly. It can produce sudden peaks, feedback, self-oscillation, or full-scale digital noise without warning. Start with your volume down, raise it slowly, keep a limiter on your output, and protect your hearing. Save your work often. The Software is made for music and audio production only; it is not designed or tested for any safety-critical or high-risk use, and you must not use it for one.

14. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. ILL SEA AND ITS OWNERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, SUPPLIERS, AND LICENSORS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. ILL SEA DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, THAT IT WILL WORK WITH YOUR HARDWARE, OPERATING SYSTEM, AUDIO DRIVERS, HOST SOFTWARE, OR OTHER PLUGINS, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THESE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

15. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL ILL SEA OR ITS OWNERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, SUPPLIERS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, DATA, RECORDINGS, PROJECTS, OR OTHER CONTENT; FOR HEARING DAMAGE OR HEARING LOSS; FOR DAMAGE TO SPEAKERS, MONITORS, HEADPHONES, AMPLIFIERS, OR AUDIO INTERFACES; FOR CRASHES, HANGS, OR DOWNTIME OF ANY HOST SOFTWARE OR SYSTEM; OR FOR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SOFTWARE OR THIS AGREEMENT, HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE), EVEN IF ILL SEA HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

ILL SEA'S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SOFTWARE OR THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR YOUR LICENSE TO THE SOFTWARE (ZERO U.S. DOLLARS FOR A TRIAL LICENSE OR DEMO MODE).

NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT EXCLUDES OR LIMITS ANY LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE, OR FOR FRAUD. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THESE LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THEM MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

16. INDEMNIFICATION

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Ill Sea and its owners, members, employees, suppliers, and licensors from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of (a) your breach of this Agreement, (b) any files, plugins, or content you load into or use with the Software, or (c) your infringement of anyone else's rights.

17. EXPORT AND U.S. GOVERNMENT USE

You will comply with all export control and sanctions laws that apply to the Software, and you will not use, export, or re-export it where those laws prohibit it. The Software is "commercial computer software" and its documentation is "commercial computer software documentation" (48 C.F.R. 2.101 and 12.212, and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202). U.S. Government users acquire only the rights set out in this Agreement.

18. GENERAL

Governing law. This Agreement, and any dispute arising out of or relating to it or the Software, is governed by the laws of the State of Washington, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. You consent to the jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in the State of Washington, without limiting either party's right to seek relief in any other court of competent jurisdiction. If you are a consumer, this does not take away any protection given to you by the mandatory law of the country where you live.

Time to bring claims. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any claim arising out of or relating to the Software or this Agreement must be brought within one year after it arises, or it is permanently barred.

Entire agreement. This Agreement, together with the purchase terms at illsea.com/legal, is the entire agreement between you and Ill Sea about the Software. If they conflict, this Agreement controls as to your license to use the Software.

Changes. We may offer an updated version of this Agreement with a new version or update of the Software. The version you accepted continues to govern the version of the Software it came with.

Other terms. If any part of this Agreement is held unenforceable, it will be changed only as much as needed to make it enforceable, and the rest stays in effect. A failure or delay to enforce any part of this Agreement is not a waiver. You may not assign this Agreement without our written consent; we may assign it, for example to a successor of our business. Notices to you may be sent to the email address in your License File. The English version of this Agreement controls.

Refunds: the 14-day promise
RefundsChordThing · NoAMP

Every paid Ill Sea plugin has a free 30-day trial, so you can try it on your own computer, in your own music, before you pay anything.

If you buy one and something isn’t right, write to [email protected] within 14 days of your purchase. If it’s a problem we can fix, we’ll fix it. If we can’t, or it simply isn’t for you, we’ll refund the full price to the card you paid with. Refunds go back through Stripe and usually reach your account within 5 to 10 business days.

A refund cancels the license, so please remove that copy once you’ve been refunded.

This promise comes on top of any rights the law where you live already gives you; it doesn’t replace them. The free plugins cost nothing, so there is nothing to refund.

Protect your ears & your gear

Ill Sea software makes sound, and sound can get loud fast. Before you play, turn your volume DOWN and put a brick-wall limiter on your output. Audio software can produce sudden peaks, digital noise, and feedback or self-oscillation without warning, start quiet, raise the level slowly, and keep that limiter on your master. Save your work often. This software is for music and general audio production only; it is not built or tested for any safety-critical or high-risk use. You use it entirely at your own risk.

Acceptance

By downloading, installing, or using any Ill Sea software, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to this License, Disclaimer, and Terms. If you do not agree, do not download, install, or use the software. THE SOFTWARE GENERATES, PROCESSES, AND OUTPUTS AUDIO AND CAN PRODUCE SUDDEN, LOUD, OR UNEXPECTED SOUND, INCLUDING FEEDBACK, SELF-OSCILLATION, DIGITAL NOISE, AND FULL-SCALE PEAKS, WHICH MAY CAUSE HEARING DAMAGE OR HEARING LOSS AND MAY DAMAGE SPEAKERS, MONITORS, HEADPHONES, AMPLIFIERS, AND AUDIO INTERFACES. IT MAY ALSO CRASH, HANG, OR DESTABILIZE YOUR DAW OR OPERATING SYSTEM, RESULTING IN LOST, UNSAVED, OR CORRUPTED RECORDINGS, PROJECTS, OR OTHER DATA. YOU ASSUME ALL RISK ARISING FROM THESE POSSIBILITIES. The Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Third-Party Notices, Our Rights, and General Terms survive any termination of this license and your ceasing to use the software.

Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Ill Sea LLC and its owners, members, employees, suppliers, and licensors from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to (a) your use of the software, (b) any content, files, or .nam / capture profiles you load, create, distribute, or use, or (c) your violation of these terms or of any third-party right, including any intellectual-property, trademark, or publicity right. Ill Sea may assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and you will cooperate with that defense. The disclaimers, limitations, and indemnities in these terms are made for the benefit of, and are enforceable by, Ill Sea LLC and its owners, members, employees, suppliers, and licensors (including Steven Atkinson and the NAM project as to the MIT-licensed component). Except as expressly stated, these terms create no third-party beneficiary rights.

Our rights

Our free plugins are freeware: free to use, not a transfer of ownership. The license granted above lets you install and use the software; it does not give you any ownership of the software or of our names, logos, or branding. The Illthy line, the Ill Sea name and branding, and the parts of the software we wrote are the property of Ill Sea LLC and are protected by copyright and other laws; all rights in them are reserved. Except where applicable law grants you a non-waivable right to do so, or where a component’s own license (such as the MIT-licensed NeuralAmpModelerCore) expressly permits, you may not reverse-engineer, decompile, resell, or repackage the proprietary parts we made. The MIT-licensed and other third-party components remain governed by their own licenses.

General terms

THE SOFTWARE IS INTENDED FOR MUSIC CREATION AND GENERAL AUDIO PRODUCTION ONLY. IT IS NOT DESIGNED, TESTED, OR LICENSED FOR USE IN ANY HIGH-RISK OR SAFETY-CRITICAL ENVIRONMENT, INCLUDING LIFE SUPPORT, MEDICAL, EMERGENCY, AVIATION, OR LIVE-EVENT LIFE-SAFETY SYSTEMS, OR ANY APPLICATION WHERE FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION COULD LEAD TO DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY, OR SEVERE PHYSICAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE; YOU ASSUME ALL RISK OF ANY SUCH USE. Any claim arising out of or related to the software must be brought within one year after it arises, or it is permanently barred, to the extent permitted by applicable law. If any provision of these terms is held unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or if it cannot be so modified, severed, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. These terms are the entire agreement between you and Ill Sea LLC regarding the software and supersede any prior understanding on that subject. Ill Sea LLC may change, update, or withdraw the software at any time and without notice, and may change these terms for future downloads or versions by posting updated terms; the terms in effect when you downloaded a given version govern your use of that version, and your continued use after updated terms are posted constitutes acceptance for subsequent versions. This License, Disclaimer, and Terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the software, are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, U.S.A., without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in the State of Washington, without limiting either party’s right to seek relief in any other court of competent jurisdiction. This does not deprive you of any non-waivable protections of the law of the place where you live. This agreement gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights that vary by jurisdiction.

Third-party software & notices
Third-party notices

Ill Sea software may include or load third-party components. Our NAM-loading plugins use NeuralAmpModelerCore by Steven Atkinson, provided under the MIT License; its copyright and permission notice ship with those downloads (in LICENSE.txt and THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.txt) and are reproduced in full below. The MIT License provides that component “AS IS,” without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, and that its authors and copyright holders are not liable for any claim, damages, or other liability arising from it. Neural Amp Modeler and NeuralAmpModelerCore are the work of Steven Atkinson and the NAM project; Ill Sea is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by them.

Our NAM-loading plugins can load Neural Amp Modeler (.nam) profiles, including community captures obtained from third-party sources such as Tone3000. Tone3000 is a trademark of its respective owner, used here only to identify a source of capture files; Ill Sea is not affiliated with Tone3000 and does not create, host, endorse, or warrant those profiles. Individual captures are the property of and licensed by their respective creators. Capture and profile files may emulate the sonic behavior of hardware you do not own and may be subject to the intellectual-property, trademark, trade-dress, or other rights of others. Ill Sea makes no representation that any capture is authorized by, or that its use is lawful with respect to, any hardware manufacturer or rights-holder. You are solely responsible for ensuring you have the rights to create, load, and use any capture file, and you assume all risk of any infringement or other claim arising from it. Ill Sea disclaims all liability for third-party components and for any files you load. This site may also link to third-party websites (such as Tone3000); those sites have their own terms and privacy practices, which we do not control.

They also incorporate, through NeuralAmpModelerCore, the Eigen library (primarily under the Mozilla Public License 2.0) and AudioDSPTools by Steven Atkinson (MIT License), each used under its own license. Their notices are included in each download’s THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.txt.

ChordThing and ChordThing MIDI are built with the JUCE framework and include the Steinberg VST 3 SDK, DSP code by Emilie Gillet (Mutable Instruments, MIT License), HarfBuzz, SheenBidi, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, the Independent JPEG Group's software, libpng, zlib, and the Audiowide typeface, each under its own license. The full notices ship with ChordThing (Legal\THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt) and are here as plain text. ASIO is a trademark of Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH, registered in Europe and other countries. VST is a registered trademark of Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH.

The product names on this site and in our software are set in Audiowide by Astigmatic (Brian J. Bonislawsky), used under the SIL Open Font License 1.1; the license is served with the font as plain text.
