Mobel is a bell ringing simulator for church bell ringers and handbell change ringers. It runs on iPhone, iPad and Apple Mac. When ringers are at home, travelling or at towers, Mobel lets them practise any method they are going to ring. It also shows the blue line diagram for any method, including bobs and singles. Practise any method on 4 to 16 bells. Ring plain courses, or touches that Mobel creates (including spliced). Add your own touches (compositions). Ring any bell; handbell ringers can ring any pair. Mobel rings the other bells, and speaks any calls. Conduct: put in bobs and/or singles yourself. See the blue line diagram for any method or composition that you have added. Line styles with or without the underlying bell numbers, or as a grid. Lines for bobs and singles. Pinch to zoom the diagram. Select from 20,000 methods in the Central Council library. Change the speed of the ringing. Ring with or without a handstroke gap. Have Mobel wait if you hesitate - or continue in perfect rhythm. Edit methods and calls to create new methods or doubles variations. Basic instructions for using Mobel on iPhone and iPad: - Tap a bell to select it for ringing. - Tap Start to start the bells ringing rounds. - Then tap Go to ring the current composition and method. - Tap the bottom of the screen to ring the bell you selected. - For handbells, tap right and left to ring a pair. - Conducting: tap the top of the screen for a bob or single. - Tap Show to see the blue line for the current method. - Then double tap to change line style, or pinch to zoom. - Tap the info (i) button to view and change settings. - Tap the Help buttons for further information.

Mobel comes from AbelSim, producer of the world's best-selling change ringing simulators: Abel for Windows PCs and Mabel for Apple Mac (see www.abelsim.co.uk). Mobel is not intended for handbell tune ringers: it rings changes, not tunes. The latest version runs on iOS 12 and later. Earlier versions of Mobel are still available for previous versions of iOS.

Dimensional Chorus Plugin (AUv3) DimChorus is an audio effect plugin that can run standalone, or in any AU compatible host application such as Logic or GarageBand. Overview DimChorus is a stereo chorus "dimension" effect inspired by the simple button operated circuits found in a famous guitar pedal and a legendary analog synth from the 80's. While not intended to be an exact replica or emulation of either of these, DimChorus uses similar processing under the hood and embraces the vibe and simplicity of a bygone era! The chorus effect is achieved by modulating the time of a delayed version of the dry signal, and then mixing the two. Typically, these delay times are very short, between 5 and 20ms. The "dimension" effect is slightly different, in that it uses two stereo chorus effects in parallel, with different modulation rates and depths, which makes the periodic nature of the effect less obvious, and is often referred to as being three-dimensional! Simply add DimChorus to any sound that you feel is a little dry or one-dimensional, then set the Mode and EQ to taste. Parameters Active - Toggles the effect On or Off. Mode - Select one of the three modes, from subtle (I) to pronounced (III), or somewhere in between (II). EQ - Applies a high or low pass filter to the chorussed sound only, making the overall effect darker or brighter. In the Normal position, the EQ is "flat". If you are interested in other flavours of the chorus effect, please check out the OkChorale, LcrChorus and Wobulator plugins.
