Binarhythmic Rhythm Generator vs spectwhirl

Binarhythmic is a MIDI sequencer that would generate rhythmic outputs based on the binary numbers. The sequencer has a counter, increasing on each sequencer cycle. The binary form of this number, something like "010110011".  Each 0 or 1 is a "Bit", and each bit is a MIDI output. If a bit is 1 then the gate is open for that bit, and if it's 0 then the gate is closed for that bit.  You can use the Multiplier parameter for controlling the sequencer counter.  The rate parameter controls the sequencer speed. Each bit has a note, velocity, gate length, trigger type and logic operation.  You can also vary the velocity and gate length. With the lower amounts of variety, you can humanise the sounds like Hi-Hats.  You can assign different MIDI channels to the bits and control different synths. The gate type is a very important parameter for the rhythm generation. On each sequencer cycle, if the gate is open for a bit; - Rest mode doesn't send the MIDI. - Single mode sends the MIDI once for the first sequencer cycle when the gate is opened. - Multiple mode sends the MIDI on each sequencer cycle while the gate is opened. - Hold mode sends the MIDI when the gate is opened and sustains it until the gate is closed Logic is one of the most powerful features of Binarhythmic. You can create endless rhythmic possibilities by using the logic operations. You can modulate the bits by applying logic operations on them with the other bits. - AND(&) operation opens the gate if the bit's gate is open AND the other bit's gate is open. - OR(+) operation opens the gate if the bit's gate is open OR the other bit's gate is open. - XOR(^) operation opens the gate if the other bit's gate is NOT open. With the randomizer you can randomize the notes on your bits in a range of notes that you can set. Or you can hand-pick the allowed notes from the list. With that feature, you can fully control the randomizer. In the "Random" mode, you can assign the randomization chance of the bits. When select the Random mode, the new Config button on the bottom toolbar appears and you can configure the randomizer. You can also access this configuration menu from the settings menu as well. In the multiple gate type mode, you can set the randomizer behaviour from the settings menu. If you toggle the "Randomize notes on each sequencer cycle" setting, then the randomizer will generate a new note on each sequencer cycle while the gate is open, if the gate type is multiple. Otherwise, it will randomize the note on the first sequencer cycle when the gate is opened and will trigger that note on each sequencer cycle until the gate is closed. Binarhythmic app runs as standalone app as well as AUv3 MIDI Plugin. You can create AU presets and use AU parameters of the AUv3 plugin. You can control or even automate every AU parameter of Binarhythmic.  You can modulate the multiplier parameter with PatternBud. You can also control the key and scale with BrainBud. Binarhythmic is a MIDI app and does not produce any sound on its own. You need to route its MIDI output to an audio app. For using the AUv3 plugin, you need an AUv3 host app such as AUM, Cubasis, Nanostudio, Loopy Pro etc.

"bells and whistles, literally" spectwhirl is a hybrid spectral audio effect. It can extract and rearrange sinewave components from input signal to make new sound textures and bell-like sounds. * input sound is converted to sinewave components that are divided into 4 groups: harmonic, inharmonic, 12-edo and other * each component is fed into a delay line with feedback * there is a group of frequency shifter and sample-and-hold effects before and after delay lines * each set of sinewave components can be filtered * all the parameters can be instantly automated with gesture recording !!! Please note that this effect consumes much CPU and requires a modern device. ====================== Quick Start: Top row of controls enables different parts of user interface: scenes editor ("scene"), controls switch ("edit") and "zoom" controls When "edit" is switch on, you can show or hide various controls (marked as "ctrl") and switch gesture recording automation for some of them (marked with ">") Main control surface displays sonogram with tracked elements. Colors are set accordingly to the group they are assigned (red-orange-green-blue are for harmonic, inharmonic, 12-edo and others). Each "lane" contains delay time controls. * Triangle facing left is for the start locator, it determines initial delay time * Square moves both start and end locators together * When left locator is first moved you can see the right locator with the same triangle. It shows the end of the selected region, the secondary delay time is determined by the difference between left and right locators * if you drag over the area of the region in a lane, the four-dotted/one circle indicator will change its appearance; this changes the arpeggio mode of the region. If set to leftmost position (one circle) the components go in-sync; if set to maximum value (shown as diagonal line with circles) - components are played sequentially * all settings can be stored as "scene" and multiple scenes can be switched sequentially; there is a set of button to move, add and delete scenes. All scenes will be stored as machine state; it can be exported / imported as a single file or as separate file with current scene in the "setup" view The standalone version always starts with output level set to -70 dB to avoid feedback
