Incommensurate is a piece of music composed and performed by Fritz Menzer (using the Chronium app for iOS) that was re-imagined as an interactive 3D Audio experience for headphones. As you move the listener and the individual parts of the piece, every time you listen to it, you will experience it differently. 

Different automatic movement modes give you a dynamic 3D Audio experience even when the app is running in the background. You can record the binaural audio signal by pressing the record button. Press it again to stop the recording and obtain a AAC encoded M4A file that can be used with music players, smartphones, etc.

About

REVE Model 1

Features
Read full description

The REVE Model 1 is an ambient drone soundscape machine, built around a synth and echo machine that turns a single note into a slowly evolving world. Play a single note or chord, arpegiatte it, and wait as a simple phrase unfolds into a dark cinematic drone, a meditative texture for sound bathing, or something stranger you didn't plan on. Push the echo repeats toward infinite, and let it rip. Want to hear REVE Model 1 before purchasing? Try the lite version at http://revemodel1.davebokil.com/ FULL ANALOG-STYLE SYNTH ENGINE VCO — Range switch (16', 8', 4', 2'), Tune, Pulse Width, and a Manual/Envelope PWM source switch. Source Mixer — independent levels for Saw, Pulse, Sub, and Noise, plus a switchable sub-oscillator mode (−1 octave square, −2 octave square, −2 octave pulse). Filter — 20Hz–20kHz cutoff and Resonance, Envelope amount, Key Follow, and a dedicated Filter LFO. Envelope + VCA — full ADSR, with a VCA mode switch for Envelope or Gate. LFO — Triangle, Square, Sample & Hold, or Noise waveforms, with Rate, Depth, and a to-pitch routing toggle. Arpeggiator — Off/Up/Down/Up-Down modes, 1–4 octave range, adjustable rate, and Hold (latch). THE ECHO — THE HEART OF THE INSTRUMENT Delay/looping built to be played, not just heard: Repeat (feedback) that goes all the way to infinite sustain, delay time up to 4 seconds, and independent volume control. Push it toward infinite and a phrase stops being a phrase: it becomes a drone, a drift, a texture that keeps changing while your hands are free to reshape it. An output limiter with Threshold, Ceiling, and a gain-reduction meter — keeps things from clipping as the repeats stack up, no matter how far into the red you push it. PLAY IT LIKE AN INSTRUMENT A touch keyboard with real glissando — slide across keys instead of just tapping them — adjustable visible octave range and key span, and a Hold/latch mode so a note can ring on its own while both hands stay on the knobs. A pitch bend lever has independent VCO/VCF sensitivity, and portamento (glide) time is adjustable. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads, no analytics, no network access, no accounts, no in-app purchases. Everything happens on your phone, nowhere else. COMING SOON MIDI and AUv3 Support
