Turnado is a revolutionary multi-effect tool, crafted especially for massive real-time audio manipulation. It combines unique and dynamic effects with the most intuitive and immediate control you can imagine. Just turn it on and crank it up. Take it to the stage and unleash Turnado’s true power. With instant access to eight effects and immediate control over key parameters, Turnado is guaranteed to cause devastation on the dance floor, shredding beats and crunking breaks to insane proportions. Features at a Glance: • Audio Unit v3 Plugin & Standalone App • 4 XY-Pads to control 2 Effects simultaneously (X,Y) • Integrated Player (Music Library, Factory Loops) • Integrated Recorder (options: Start/Stop/Sync/Length) • Live Modus (Inputs & Outputs selectable) • Auria Plug-In • AudioCopy / AudioShare import • AudioCopy / AudioShare / Soundcoud / Dropbox export • Full Midi Support (Virtual, Network, Extern) • Midi Clock Sync The idea is simple: Turn a knob and the effect is on. Turn the knob further to adjust effect parameters and apply modulations. Turn the knob down and the effect is off. With its instantaneous, one-knob, multi-parameter modulation features, Turnado will lay waste to the audio landscape. Giving you the power to crunch, chop, twist, mash and elevate your music to new levels, Turnado will have you creating wicked new sounds that will blow any crowd away. Unlocking the power of your MIDI controller each effect requires only one knob to control it. Underneath this simplicity lies a matrix of effect parameters and modulation engines, all controlled by the main knob. This control matrix provides serious depth to the plugin and gives you the ability to create original and truly unique effect programs. If the power of one-knob action still doesn’t rock your boat, the awesome "Dictator" mode will sink your battleship. It allows you to animate all the main knobs and run that animation with just one fader. That’s one fader, controlling up to 8 different effects, with potentially hundreds of parameter changes! Turnado’s primary focus is on beat manipulation, so you will find lots of loopers, slicers and grain tools in the rack. Alongside these beat-mashing effects are an arsenal of distortions and filters as well as first-class delays and reverbs. With extensive modulation possibilities each effect can produce millions of unbelievable variations that can be morphed and twisted into something new every time you tweak those knobs. Turnado will inspire you again and again, delivering completely new variations of your original sounds and grooves every time, so what are you waiting for…turn it on.

BLEASS Voices is a vocal processing effect for pitching, transforming, doubling and harmonizing vocals and other sources. With 12 pitch-shifted voices and detailed control over pitch, formant, tone, width and placement, it can move from subtle vocal enhancement to dense harmonies and radical transformations. Four harmonized voices can be transposed independently by up to one octave in either direction or fixed to a chosen pitch. The remaining eight voices can be triggered via MIDI, turning incoming audio into a playable vocal instrument. MPE support brings expressive control to performance, making it possible to create vocal chords, realistic glides, trills and other pitch-based articulations directly from a compatible controller. Two LFOs, an envelope follower and a pattern sequencer add modulation and movement, extending BLEASS Voices beyond conventional harmonizing into more synth-like vocal processing. All voices can use intelligent pitch correction based on a selected key and scale. Each voice also has an independent output bus, allowing individual voices to be mixed and processed separately. BLEASS Voices works with fundamental frequencies from 66 Hz to 5.2 kHz, making it suitable not only for vocals but also for a wide range of instruments. A Real-Time mode provides the low latency required for live performance and recording. BLEASS Voices can be used as an AUv3 plugin on iPhone and iPad. BLEASS Voices is also available for Windows, macOS and Linux. More information, technical specifications and tutorials available on https://www.bleass.com/voices/
