Do we need yet another Delay? Of course! We need thousands of delays working in parallel with full spectral control. One Curve. Infinite Delays. MagicDelay lets you control thousands of spectral delays with a single, elegant curve. Apply BPM-type grids to lock your shapes perfectly to the tempo, or let them flow freely for more experimental motion. With the powerful Curve Modifier, you can modulate, morph, and reshape your delay patterns in real time — turning one curve into endless rhythmic and spectral variations. Thoughtful Feedback control Control your delay tails using either traditional feedback in percent or our unique dB-per-second decay system — created specifically to manage the feedback of many varying delay times at once. Using dB/s ensures predictable, consistent tail lengths across the entire spectrum, even in the most complex settings. Sculpt the Spectrum Refine your delays with built-in highpass and lowpass filters, adding warmth, clarity, or sparkle exactly where needed. Activate Crossfeed to expand your stereo image and create immersive, wide-angle motion. And when things get wild, use Kill to instantly mute and clear the delay line — total control at any moment. Beyond 100% Need more? Push into new sonic territory with Feedback Over, allowing feedback values beyond the traditional 100% limit. From endless atmospheric swells to self-oscillating spectral chaos, MagicDelay gives you room to explore — and break — the rules. A New Dimension of Delay Whether you’re a musician, sound designer, or producer, MagicDelay is a spectral playground built for discovery. Its multi-curve design, deep modulation system, and flexible feedback architecture make it a truly expressive tool for shaping delays far beyond the ordinary. MagicDelay is an AUv3 audio effect plugin compatible with Logic Pro, AUM, Cubasis, GarageBand and many more. A Desktop version is also available for Windows and macOS (VST3 / AU / AAX).

Binarhythmic Rhythm Generator
This app generates rhythmic MIDI outputs based on binary numbers, allowing for intricate control over note, velocity, and gate length. It offers advanced logic operations and randomization for unique rhythmic patterns. It functions as a standalone app and an AUv3 MIDI plugin.
- Binary-based MIDI sequencing
- Configurable bit parameters (note, velocity, gate length)
- Advanced logic operations (AND, OR, XOR)
- Randomizer for note selection
- Multiple gate types (Rest, Single, Multiple, Hold)
- AUv3 MIDI plugin support
- Standalone app functionality

Binarhythmic is a MIDI sequencer that would generate rhythmic outputs based on the binary numbers. The sequencer has a counter, increasing on each sequencer cycle. The binary form of this number, something like "010110011". Each 0 or 1 is a "Bit", and each bit is a MIDI output. If a bit is 1 then the gate is open for that bit, and if it's 0 then the gate is closed for that bit. You can use the Multiplier parameter for controlling the sequencer counter. The rate parameter controls the sequencer speed. Each bit has a note, velocity, gate length, trigger type and logic operation. You can also vary the velocity and gate length. With the lower amounts of variety, you can humanise the sounds like Hi-Hats. You can assign different MIDI channels to the bits and control different synths. The gate type is a very important parameter for the rhythm generation. On each sequencer cycle, if the gate is open for a bit; - Rest mode doesn't send the MIDI. - Single mode sends the MIDI once for the first sequencer cycle when the gate is opened. - Multiple mode sends the MIDI on each sequencer cycle while the gate is opened. - Hold mode sends the MIDI when the gate is opened and sustains it until the gate is closed Logic is one of the most powerful features of Binarhythmic. You can create endless rhythmic possibilities by using the logic operations. You can modulate the bits by applying logic operations on them with the other bits. - AND(&) operation opens the gate if the bit's gate is open AND the other bit's gate is open. - OR(+) operation opens the gate if the bit's gate is open OR the other bit's gate is open. - XOR(^) operation opens the gate if the other bit's gate is NOT open. With the randomizer you can randomize the notes on your bits in a range of notes that you can set. Or you can hand-pick the allowed notes from the list. With that feature, you can fully control the randomizer. In the "Random" mode, you can assign the randomization chance of the bits. When select the Random mode, the new Config button on the bottom toolbar appears and you can configure the randomizer. You can also access this configuration menu from the settings menu as well. In the multiple gate type mode, you can set the randomizer behaviour from the settings menu. If you toggle the "Randomize notes on each sequencer cycle" setting, then the randomizer will generate a new note on each sequencer cycle while the gate is open, if the gate type is multiple. Otherwise, it will randomize the note on the first sequencer cycle when the gate is opened and will trigger that note on each sequencer cycle until the gate is closed. Binarhythmic app runs as standalone app as well as AUv3 MIDI Plugin. You can create AU presets and use AU parameters of the AUv3 plugin. You can control or even automate every AU parameter of Binarhythmic. You can modulate the multiplier parameter with PatternBud. You can also control the key and scale with BrainBud. Binarhythmic is a MIDI app and does not produce any sound on its own. You need to route its MIDI output to an audio app. For using the AUv3 plugin, you need an AUv3 host app such as AUM, Cubasis, Nanostudio, Loopy Pro etc.
