Get professional audio visualization with your AUv3 host or the standalone app. Scope transforms your audio into stunning visual displays using GPU-accelerated graphics with classic phosphor glow effects reminiscent of vintage CRT oscilloscopes and more. Featuring Scope Linear, Scope Circular, Flurry particle, Spectrum, Spectrogram, Spectrum Equalizer, 3D Spectrum, Semaphore, Sliding Scope, Loudness and Polar Level visualization modes with single and multi-channel split view, plus an Overlap option that draws both channels on one canvas in Scope Linear. Multiple color schemes (including classic phosphor green, vibrant 80s Red and Rainbow) with smooth transitions. Flurry mode renders mesmerizing smoke-textured particles with audio-reactive dynamics, inspired by the classic screensaver. Loudness is an ITU-R BS.1770 / EBU R128 meter with integrated, short-term and momentary loudness, true peak per channel, loudness range and a three-minute history against streaming, podcast and broadcast targets. Polar Level is a stereo vectorscope that plots pan position against level in dB, shows out-of-phase content in red and includes a correlation meter. All visualization modes are fully automatable parameters in your DAW. Optimized for HiDPI Retina displays with dynamic line width scaling, Scope delivers smooth 60fps+ performance for live performances, creative sound design and professional audio monitoring.

Hybrid reverb with an artificial space designer, combining it with algorithmic reflections tail processing, is ideal to creating immersive ambience of deep spaces, lush atmospheric textures or stunning whispering backgrounds in your ambient, electronic, experimental and sound design projects. Unlike traditional algorithmic reverbs, Stellarvox constructs a complex model of a vast resonant sound spaces with choice of geometry, dimensions and tonal structure of the space, along with a unique feature that dynamically change the timbre of reflections over the reverberation time. The second algorithmic reverb allows you to prolong and blur reflections, adding extra dimensions to the sound space. Easy-to-use controls on a single screen, along with optimally designed parameters that always give great results, make insignificant the peculiarity of that kind of reverbs, when the model creates with a little delay after changing it. Factory presets and the random feature will give you a starting point of inspiration and allow you to get a quick result where you need just to slightly tweak the parameters to align with your idea. This application is great for ambient projects, it can create mesmerizing atmosphere from single infrequent sounds of various instruments, or giving a beautiful and deep backgrounds to sharp sequences in electronics, as well as for any experimental projects that require unusual, deep and rich sound ambience.
