Read full description

NoiseSpace is an experimental sound generator based on simplex noise, which is then used in a granular synthesis algorithm. This design allows for the creation of a vast array of diverse waveforms rich in harmonics with a rich low-frequency spectrum. The generator is controlled by just a few simple parameters. Despite its somewhat chaotic and atonal nature, it is great for creating rich noise, gritty textures, complex patterns and deep, dark, mesmerizing and tense backgrounds. It is especially suitable for creating ambient compositions, as well as sci-fi, industrial, post-apocalyptic and horror atmospheres. This app also serves as a powerful tool for noise art and sound design, offering users the ability to craft intricate and captivating sonic structures. With its focus on deep, hypnotic, and tension-filled soundscapes, NoiseSpace is an essential tool for musicians, sound designers, and artists exploring experimental and textural audio creation. Starting with NoiseSpace is remarkably easy. The application features a dedicated "Create" button that generates unique and interesting presets ready for immediate use, requiring only minimal adjustment to suit the user's needs or ideas. Additionally, it includes options for generating sequences and patterns, and for simple tone and modulation creation for each generator, making the application user-friendly and ready for immediate exploration right from the start. Key Features: Five Sound Generators: Utilizes simplex noise and granular synthesis to create diverse sound textures. Versatile Sound Options: Offers a vast range of sound variations with just a few parameters. Advanced Filters: Includes both classic and complex filters for each generator. Low-Frequency Modulators: Each generator is equipped with three LFOs that can control most parameters. Dual Output System: Each generator has a main output and a special output for background sound. Layered Sound Design: Generator outputs are combined to create two layers - main sound and background. Pattern and Texture Creation: Features an internal sequencer / binary counter for managing generators. NoiseSpace is a universal application for iOS and macOS. It can work on iPhone and iPad as well as Mac / MacBook with M1 chip (and later). NoiseSpace works on iPhone and iPad standalone, as an Audio Unit or Inter-App Audio module, and supports Audiobus and Ableton Link. On MacOS, NoiseSpace can works both as a standalone application and as an Audio unit (AUv3) with DAWs and other hosts that support AUv3 plugins. NoiseSpace has a built-in detailed description of all parameters also available as PDF file on the application site.

BLEASS Tides washes away the dry, uninspiring echoes of conventional delay processors with wave after wave of richly characterful reflections. The plugin's fluid approach to delay processing means delay times can be altered without the unpleasant warping results produced by other delay processors, with the option of a controlled tape-like timing shift, or a simple crossfade between differently timed delays. Better still, with an enhanced modulation system provided by BLEASS' latest plugin technology, you can take full advantage of this delay time fluidity with stereo LFOs, envelope followers and macro controllers that allow you to explore new horizons of exciting delay effects. There's more to creating unique and enthralling delay lines than timing alone, and so BLEASS Tides provides many different ways of shaping and adding character to its repeats. An input filter combining low- and high-pass resonant bands allows you to easily mould the incoming signal and thereby sculpt the resulting echoes. Then, for even deeper and more exhilarating shaping, Tides' feedback path features five insert points into which any of 11 different effect processors can be loaded. These include distortions, filters, pitch and frequency shifting, ring modulation, and even an additional delay processor, all of which can be brought to life with the plugin's stereo modulators. Tides is the first plugin to use BLEASS' v2 plugin engine, its reimagined interface design giving a crisp and clean look to the plugin whilst retaining the familiar and welcoming look and feel of previous BLEASS plugins. The new interface is as easy to use with touchscreens as it is with a mouse, and includes innovative interactive elements such as Tides' delay visualiser that, when clicked with the mouse or touched with a finger, produces fascinating interactive frequency shifting effects. Further realtime interaction comes in the form of momentary Freeze and Kill buttons that are perfect for creating spontaneous, organic effects, whether on stage, on the go, or in the studio. BLEASS Tides' unique approach brings delay processing to new shores with never before heard stereo effects and modulations, extensive tonal shaping, and a user interface that's both easy on the eye and easy to use.
