*** Note: this is an Audio Unit Effect Plugin (AUv3) which requires a compatible host or DAW to work. *** Kosmonaut is Multitap Delay with a twist. In addition to adding echoes to your audio, it packs a bunch of extra tools to put your music in space: - Tape looper with with variable sound-on-sound decay level - 4-Tap Delay (placed in series for complex feedback loops) - LP/HP filters with LFO - Autopanner - Ambiance Generator - Haas Effect Processor (aka 'wavefront precedence effect') All features are demonstrated extensively in a ton of factory presets, and you can easily add your own user presets, which will automatically carry over across different host apps. All variables are exposed as AU Parameters in hosts which support automation. It also has a smart Random-feature, which may come up with usable results :-) Check out ruismaker.com for the user manual and audio demos.

BLEASS Granulizer is an innovative granular effect processor crafted for musicians, producers, and sound designers who want to transform incoming audio signals into rich, evolving textures and immersive soundscapes. It works by slicing audio inputs into small "grains" and reassembling them through real-time modulation of different parameters that you can visualize thanks to a 3D visualizer: Modulate - Volume - Pan (represented by width in the visualizer) - Size ( = grain’s duration) - Density ( = frequency of grains generation) - Offset ( = the amount of time between record and play represented by the depth in the 3D visualizer) - Backward/Forward Playback Direction - Shape ( = grain’s envelope, represented by the height dimension in the visualizer) - Warmth ( = strength of the distortion applied to the grain) - Tune ( = grains can be pitched up or down according to different modes: “Fine” / Chromatic / Major / Minor / 5th / Major 7th / Minor 7th / Octave. The amount of randomization can be set with the “dice” knobs. Density, grain size, and offset range can be freely synced or beat synced to the host’s tempo. Touching and holding the visualizer modifies pan and density. BLEASS Granulizer takes up to 4 sources from different busses as inputs (compatible host required such as AUM). When multiple busses are on, each grain is randomly extracted from one of the available sources. BLEASS Granulizer is your unique granular texture effect for reshaping any audio source into a dynamic granular soundscape in ways you've never imagined.
