oVerlegato
Read full descriptionHide full description
Concept: The app is AUv3 MIDI effect and works as “Legato” effect for MIDI instruments using pitchBend. System Requirements: 1. AUv3 host 2. 3rd-party MIDI instrument that has a functionality of pitchBend. Usage: One important calibration 1. Adjust oVerlegato’s pitchBend range to the same value as the one of destination instrument, otherwise it becomes microtonal. There are two buttons & two sliders. 1. “Legato”: it becomes legato mode only while pushing the button. 2. “Channel”: determines MIDI output channel. 3. “pitchBend range”: oVerlegato’s internal pitchBend range (from 12 to 48).” 4. “Panic!”: sends all noteOff message. When notes are accidentally stacked, push this button while pushing any key of keyboard. The rule of playing legato It needs to sustain the first initial note while pushing “Legato”button until the legato sequence ends. Scheme: oVerlegato (MIDI out) -> 3rd-party instrument
Phase Garden
This app offers a unique multi-phaser effect with three independent voices for dynamic and evolving audio modulation. It allows for subtle, spacious, or complex phase textures on various instruments and mixes.
- Three independent phaser voices
- Evolving multi-phaser architecture
- Organic modulation drift
- Controlled unpredictable behavior
- Adjustable voice separation
- Integrated stereo movement
- Resonant feedback control

Phase Garden takes the familiar sound of a phaser and lets it grow wild. Instead of relying on a single repeating sweep, Phase Garden uses three independent phaser voices moving together as a constantly evolving network. Each voice has its own modulation relationship, sweep behavior, feedback character, and stereo position. At restrained settings, Phase Garden creates smooth, dimensional movement that can add life to synths, guitars, pads, drums, vocals, and complete mixes. Increase Spread and the voices begin separating into a wider, more complex field. Add Drift and their relationships slowly evolve over time. Then there’s Wild. Wild introduces occasional controlled disturbances into the garden. A voice may change pace, alter its sweep, become more prominent, or temporarily move away from the others before settling back into the larger pattern. The result is phasing that doesn't feel locked to a perfectly repeating modulation cycle. Phase Garden can be subtle, spacious, liquid, hollow, tangled, resonant, unstable, or gloriously overgrown—but it always remains recognizably a phaser. Three phasers grow from the same source. None of them behave exactly alike. Plant a phase. Let it wander. Features Three independent phaser voices Evolving multi-phaser architecture Smooth organic modulation drift Controlled unpredictable behavior Adjustable separation between phaser voices Integrated stereo movement Resonant feedback from subtle to aggressive Wide range from gentle movement to tangled phase textures Factory presets ranging from restrained to overgrown
