GSDSP MagicBlur vs MIDI Pulse BPM Detecter

Turn any sound into lush pads, frozen textures, or drifting spectral motion with this multi-curve spectral blur and freeze effect. Frequency-Dependent Blur MagicBlur is a multi-curve spectral blur and freeze processor designed for transforming audio into pads, overtone glissandi, reversed textures, and glitch-like movements. Apply separate blur times per frequency or frequency range, then mix, modulate, and spread them to explore anything from subtle, washed-out ambience to extreme spectral experimentation. How Spectral Blur Works Incoming audio is analyzed into fast-moving spectral frames, each representing the frequency content of a small slice of sound. Instead of playing every frame in sequence, MagicBlur lets you pick frames at defined intervals and morph smoothly toward the next one. The Blur Time sets how gradually frequencies transition — and because MagicBlur supports independent blur times per frequency, you can shape different parts of the spectrum with fine-grained control. Freeze, Reverse & Transform Disable morphing to create a spectral freeze, holding each frame until the next is selected. Reverse the morph direction, apply envelopes, or shift pitch to create evolving drones and unique spectral transitions. Combined with MagicBlur’s modulation system, these tools unlock a wide range of expressive and experimental sound design possibilities. MagicBlur 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).

Ever wished your gear could just follow the music that's playing? MIDI Pulse BPM Detecter listens through the microphone, detects the BPM in real time, and keeps sending it to your equipment as MIDI Clock and Tap Tempo CC. Sync your delay pedals, arpeggiators, drum machines and loopers — no more frantically tapping along to the track. LISTENS AND DETECTS • Fully automatic beat detection from the microphone • Auto mode analyzes Low / Mid / High / Full frequency bands simultaneously and picks whichever hears the beat most clearly — kick-heavy tracks and hi-hat-driven grooves both lock in automatically • Or pin detection to a specific band: Kick, Snare, or Hi-Hat • Customizable detection range (60–200 BPM), 2x BPM mode for double-time output • One-tap manual tempo setting with tap tempo SEE WHAT IT HEARS • Beat markers on the live waveform show exactly where each beat was recognized • Optional detection envelope overlay reveals what the detector is actually analyzing • Flash lamp blinking in sync with the BPM • Real-time waveform and level meter MIDI OUTPUT • MIDI Clock transmission (24 PPQN) • Tap Tempo CC messages (customizable CC number and channel) • Bluetooth MIDI support — connect to your gear wirelessly • Auto-gain keeps detection stable even at low volumes (up to 30x) BUILT FOR THE STAGE • Settings save automatically and apply instantly • MIDI send / beat detection indicators • Pause and resume anytime In the DJ booth, at rehearsal, on stage: stop matching tempo by ear and let the phone in your pocket handle it.
