Soft Wiener masks
Smooth H/P separation for natural rebalancing. The safest first move on a full mix, loop, or stem.
OUTPUTS · H + PFree spectral utility
Split the spectrum three ways.
Intrect HPSS is a free harmonic / percussive / residual separation plug-in for macOS (VST3, CLAP, Audio Unit). It splits every frame into harmonic, percussive, and residual components so you can mix them independently, solo what the ear misses, or reshape a sound without a source model. Free to use; the download needs an Intrect account.

Three separation behaviors
From transparent rebalance to hard component isolation.
Start soft, turn decisive, then expose what sits between. Every mode runs locally in the plug-in—no upload, model download, or account session.
Hard threshold split
Each bin chooses harmonic or percussive. Push the threshold when you need sharper isolation and decisive edits.
OUTPUTS · H | PMake room for residual
Independent H/P thresholds leave uncertain energy in R—the texture, noise, tails, and in-between material.

FAQ
- Is Intrect HPSS free?
- Yes. There is no license key and no trial; the DSP is MIT licensed. The download is delivered to a free Intrect account.
- Does it run on Windows?
- Not today. The installer is a notarized macOS package (macOS 11 or later, Apple Silicon and Intel) with VST3, CLAP, and Audio Unit builds.
- Why do I need an account to download a free plug-in?
- The seven-day download link is sent to your account email as a private, transactional message, so the same sign-in you use for the other Intrect products gives you the installer and its published checksum. There is no separate HPSS account.

If you arrived here from a separator and the stem still carries other instruments, that is bleed rather than a level problem: see the bleed-removal workflow and how to clean a separated vocal stem before re-running the split.
