Things vs GSDSP MagicFusion
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
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.
- 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.
GSDSP MagicFusion
This advanced audio effect plugin offers precise spectral fusion and multi-curve vocoding. It allows users to extract spectral characteristics from one audio source and apply them to another, enabling detailed transformations from subtle shading to extreme effects.
- Multi-curve spectral vocoding
- Frequency-domain processing
- Independent fusion amounts per frequency
- Dynamic response control
- Formant shifting
- AUv3 audio effect plugin

The world’s first frequency-domain vocoder with multi-curve control and precision spectral fusion. Multi-Curve Spectral Vocoding MagicFusion is a multi-curve spectral vocoder workstation operating entirely in the frequency domain. Instead of relying on bandpass filters and envelope followers, it extracts the spectral characteristics of a modulator and applies them to a carrier, enabling precise, customizable vocoding across the entire spectrum. Apply independent fusion amounts per frequency or frequency range, then mix, modulate, and spread them to create anything from subtle vocal shading to extreme spectral transformations. Vocoder Signal Flow MagicFusion requires two audio inputs: the carrier (main input) and the modulator (sidechain). The plugin extracts the modulator’s spectral envelope and applies it to the carrier, creating a fused signal where both sources interact. This process provides clean, flexible control over the degree of spectral fusion and allows highly detailed shaping across the frequency spectrum. Dynamic Response & Formants Adjust the Smooth control to define how quickly the vocoder reacts, from fast, precise transitions to slower, more rounded movement. The Formant parameter shifts the spectral character of the modulator, while Detail adjusts the complexity of the filter response — from clean, intricate results to more organic, pumping behavior. MagicFusion 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).
