## What is Nebula Tide?

An ocean of sound. A universe of calm.

Nebula Tide plays endless ambient drone pads that never end and never click.
Choose a preset, tap a planet to pick your key, and the room fills.

REAL RECORDINGS IN ALL TWELVE KEYS
Every preset is twelve separate studio recordings, one per key. Nothing is
pitch-shifted, so E flat sounds as intentional as C. Most instruments stretch
a single recording across the keyboard and smear its character doing it.

SHIMMER
The pad rises as it fades. One control takes it from a breath of air to a room
with no ceiling, moving five things at once behind the scenes. It sits in the
signal path rather than beside it, so what you hear is one sound growing, not
two sounds stacked.

BUILD YOUR OWN
Twelve slots, one per key. Drop in your own recordings, name it, save it, and
it appears on the stage beside ours. Share a preset as a single file and open
one someone sends you.

LAYERS
Two stars flank the stage for effects and textures. Rain, wind, birds, crowds,
claps. They keep playing across preset changes and fade out with the drone.

SPACE
Room, plate and hall, each tuned to its own character, with mix, size and
damping when you want them.

ALIVE
The interface re-colours itself to match the preset you choose. Stars drift,
arcs rotate, pads breathe with the sound.

FOR
Worship musicians who need the right key before the downbeat. Ambient and
electronic producers. Film and game composers who need a bed now. Anyone who
wants a beautiful sound in one tap.

Your licence covers two devices and you can move a seat yourself at any time.
