About

MuSA_RT

This app visualizes music tonality in 3D using advanced algorithms. It analyzes audio from your microphone to identify chords and keys, displaying them with a rotating camera or in augmented reality.

  • 3D tonality visualization
  • Audio analysis for pitch and context
  • Chord and key identification
  • Augmented Reality mode
  • Smooth camera rotation for unobstructed views
Read full description

MuSA_RT applies music analysis algorithms rooted in Elaine Chew’s Spiral Array model of tonality, which also provides the 3D geometry for the visualization space. The app analyzes the audio signal received from a microphone to determine pitch names, maintain short term and longterm tonal context trackers, each a Center of Effect (CE), and compute the closest triads (3-note chords) and keys as the music unfolds in performance. The 3D view presents a graphical representations of these tonal entities in context, smoothly rotating the virtual camera to provide an unobstructed view of the current information. These graphics can also be visualized in an experimental Augmented Reality mode on compatible devices.

At the end of a long day at the mixing desk, when everything has finally fallen into place, comes the best moment (just before pouring that glass of whisky): load an instance of NoLimits2 at the end of the processing chain, turn that big gain knob, lean back and enjoy. Its predecessor, NoLimits, was certainly a highly acclaimed limiting plugin already and did a very good job for many years, but NoLimits2 definitely takes it to another level. From ultraclean to tastefully saturated, NoLimits2 will make your mixes louder in style. NoLimits2 is a highend audio limiting plugin featuring: - a comprehensive set of 4 different limiting algorithms - all of them follow entirely different limiting strategies, giving you a choice of really unique sounds - from clean to nicely saturated, it’s all there - further control over attack, release and lookahead times allow for even more finetuning - up to 8x oversampling to keep all harmonics of the more colourful modes in check - stereo channel linking - state-of-the-art LUFS loudness metering, compliant to all the latest standards NoLimits2 is an AUv3 plugin which is compatible with all relevant hosts on iOS, like Logic, Garageband, Cubasis,... you name it.
