## What is Freethe?

Freethe catches the sound that just happened and holds it — stretching a fleeting moment into a living, evolving drone. Make a sound, tap the canvas, and it freezes into a sustained texture you can shape with your fingers.

Inspired by the classic freeze pedal and rebuilt as a modern granular instrument, Freethe gives every frozen "grab" its own place on a pan/volume canvas and its own character:

• Cloud — overlapping grains scatter the capture into a soft, shifting haze.
• Loop — a seamless read head holds a clean, steady sustain.
• Spectral — additive resynthesis turns the moment into a shimmering, tuned pad.

Grab as many sounds as you like, drag them around the stereo field, and layer them into slowly breathing soundscapes. A live scope traces the incoming signal behind the canvas, so you can feel the sound before you freeze it.

FEATURES
• Three distinct freeze modes: Cloud, Loop, and Spectral
• Multi-touch canvas — grab and move several drones at once
• Per-grab control: position/scrub, drift, loop window, spectral shimmer and width
• Split any grab into its other two modes with a single tap
• Global tempo with tap-tempo and tempo-synced attack/release
• Full MIDI mapping — trigger grabs and drive every control from a controller
• Choose your input device, monitor the dry signal, or freeze from an audio file
• Also ships as an Audio Unit (AUv3) plug-in for Logic Pro, GarageBand, AUM and more

FREE TO PLAY, ONE-TIME UNLOCK
Play generously for free with up to three grabs in all three modes. A single purchase — no subscription — unlocks the full pool of eight grabs plus the power features (MIDI mapping, Split-into-modes, presets, and audio-file input). Yours forever.

PRIVACY
Freethe processes all audio on your device. Nothing is recorded, uploaded, or shared, and there are no accounts, ads, or tracking.
