With its blend of wavetable and classic subtractive oscillators, flexible filtering and post-processing, and an extensive set of advanced modulation sources, BLEASS Megalit provides sound designers with a vast palette of timbral tints, shades, and colours to explore. Thanks to BLEASS' super-intuitive interface design, that entire sonic palette is within easy reach of even the most non-technical musicians. Megalit includes many innovations that will empower your sound designs: * Advanced wavetable oscillators with independent wavetable position and Fold controls across more than 130 wavetables. * Per-oscillator Unison mode for creating rich, layered sounds without loading additional synth instances. * Dedicated noise generator with high-pass and low-pass filters for flexible non-tonal sounds and sound components. * Resonant high-pass and low-pass filters, plus built-in Waveshaper and Bit Crusher processors for powerful sound shaping. * Four LFOs with independent timing curves and output smoothing for highly detailed modulation. * Advanced Motion Sequencer for creating complex repeating modulation patterns. * Per-patch performance controller response curves for expressive and predictable playability. * Built-in preset randomizer that generates inspiring, usable sounds at the touch of a button. * Built-in multiband upward/downward compressor for precise control over dynamics, punch, and presence. All of Megalit's parameters, settings, and controls are presented with intuitive visual feedback, so you always know exactly what the synth is doing. Despite its immense sonic capabilities, Megalit remains exceptionally CPU-efficient, leaving plenty of headroom for additional instruments, effects, or simply more instances of Megalit. BLEASS Megalit is available as an AUv3 plug-in or standalone app. Also available for Windows and Mac. More information: https://www.bleass.com/megalit

Read full description

MelodyBud is an AUv3 MIDI sequencer with great generative sequencing capabilities. Instead of a traditional sequencer, you can randomise your notes, velocity, octave, and gate length of your steps, add ratchets and glide to make it more interesting! One of the most powerful feature of MelodyBud is "parameter-locking". With parameter-locks, you can set a step's randomisation values individually. That lets you create richer melodies. For entering the parameter-locking mode, you can simply tap a step's number on the top of the sequencer. The step and the control knobs turn orange when you enter the parameter-locking mode. If you edit a control when you are in the parameter-lock mode, the sequencer will execute that configuration for that step instead of the global configuration. You can tap the step's number again for exiting the parameter-lock mode. You can work in more than 40 scales, you can even change them while the sequencer is running. With the AUv3 plugin, you can change them with the AU parameters and even modulate/automate them along with other parameters. The standalone version supports Ableton Link which lets you in-sync with other Ableton Link enabled apps. Please note that MelodyBud is a MIDI app. The standalone version has an optional internal synth where you can enable or disable on the settings menu. The AUv3 plugin requires an audio app for output. For the AUv3 functionality, it needs to be hosted within an app such as AUM, Loopy Pro, Cubasis, Logic Pro, Nanostudio, Drambo, or apeMatrix etc.
