About

Things

This app offers an experimental filter bank delay effect for creative sound design. It features up to 10 band pass filters with adjustable resonance and individual delay controls. Users can manipulate various parameters across bands to generate unique echoes, reverbs, and sequences.

Highlights
  • Up to 10 band pass filters
  • Controllable resonance per band
  • Dedicated delay with feedback per band
  • Parameter spread across bands
  • AUv3 and Standalone support

Bubbles is an unusual filter bank effect plugin (AUv3 and Standalone) aimed at experimental sound design. You can use up to 10 band pass filters, represented by bubbles in the UI, with controllable resonance. Each band can have a dedicated delay with feedback. You can spread the cutoff, resonance, delay time, and delay feedback across each band to get very creative effects, from odd-sounding echoes/reverbs to impossible sequences.

About

resonatedo

This audio effect app allows for microtonal music creation with two independent resonator banks. Each resonator offers customizable pitch, volume, and modulation, with advanced filter controls and a mix slider for signal blending. It supports external MIDI input and features a detailed UI with multiple keyboard options.

Highlights
  • Dual microtonal resonator banks
  • Independent pitch, volume, and modulation control
  • Advanced filter and color parameters
  • Detailed keyboard UI with note information
  • MIDI input support
  • Mix control for dry/processed signal
Features
Read full description

resonatedo is a microtonal resonator bank audio effect for iOS and macOS. It contains two sets of resonators controlled by separate keyboards. Each resonator has independent pitch (set by EDO division value of the keyboard), volume and modulation. Each resonator is a delay with feedback that contains lowpass + allpass and bandpass filters. Each set has a common "color" parameter that changes balance between these filter sets in each single resonator. The "mix" control allows crossfade from dry to fully processed signal. UI features two independent keyboards with: • 4 – 72 keys (voices, steps) per octave, each with its own ring modulator • maximum polyphony equal to the number of voices; max polyphony is 144 voices • 1 – 4 octave range, covering the frequency range of about 8 – 4200 Hz • display with note number (from C), note name, frequency (in Hz), and deviation from 12-TET (in cents) • two sections per keyboard: upper for non-sustained notes, gliding, and velocity; lower for sustained notes and modulation rate • mute button to stop/start all sound • delete/panic button to erase all notes • glide button for smooth sweeps across keyboard frequency range • modulation on/off button • slider to set initial velocity and modulation levels • slider to change velocity and modulation rates for all notes on the keyboard proportionally and to show current velocity and mod rate levels • button to toggle keyboard visibility. resonatedo supports MIDI input from external sources to control each keyboard independently.
