Introducing the Toyphonic Micraliser for International Joke Day 2025... - Ultra-realistic, Precision Tuned, Apex Mic Modelling. - If your singing sounds like a dying cat, this finally kills the cat. - Why waste a good mic on those vocals? Use this and keep expectations low. - Built for the future—fails in the present. Impulse Responses Transform your music into something only a toddler could appreciate via the painstakingly captured, isolated mic & speaker Impulse Responses - perfect for those of you who musically peaked at nursery rhymes. Envelope Curve, sculpt and inappropriately touch the behavioural qualities of the Impulse Response via the attack and decay controls, just don’t overdo it you brute. Quality We hand-crafted a musical, beastly quality control to exacerbate and crush the effects of the IRs which is very much needed to help you truly understand our genius, especially now that after years of blasting music through your ******* you’ve left your ears heroically useless. Presets 15 'ethically' locally sourced, organic presets so your AI-reliant selves don’t have to think beyond the blinking and breathing part of your day. We even blessed you with a randomise button which is like infinite presets, how kind are we?! Make Movey Things Embrace change grandpa, employ the service of modulation via the LFO, Sequencer & Envelope Follower to keep things moving, just because your music is flat and boring doesn’t mean the automation has to be too. Product Aftercare We cannot be held liable for any personal threats or harm you may encounter upon being encouraged to sing into the Toyphonic Micraliser, you should have known better you silly sausage. Toyphonic Micraliser is designed as an AUv3 plugin, meaning it works within iOS and iPadOS hosts such as Logic Pro, GarageBand, Cubasis 3, AUM and Beatmaker 3.

PolyDelay Polyrhythmic Delay Plugin (AUv3) PolyDelay is an audio effect plugin that can run standalone, or in any AU compatible host application such as Logic Pro or GarageBand. Overview PolyDelay is a dual delay line / stereo effect with optional host tempo sync. While PolyDelay can be used to create interesting stereo polyrhythmic delays, it can also produce more familiar delay patterns such as dotted eighth and quarter note triplets. Polyrhythms, Divisions and Beats PolyDelay calculates delay times based on a BPM (beats per minute) tempo, and the polyrhythmic notation of D:B, where D = divisions and B = beats. For example, 3:2 would mean that the time for 2 beats should be divided by 3. If you're more use to the idea of note lengths and delay times, such as quarter notes and dotted eighths, etc., this might be confusing at first, but hopefully this guide will help. Firstly, everything starts with the beat! So, for 120BPM, each beat (or quarter note) will be half a second, or 500ms. So if you want a quarter note delay, you want 1 division within one beat, so you would set Divs and Beats to 1. Here are some typical note values, lengths (120BPM) and their D:B values: 1/4 = 500ms = 1:1 (take the length of one beat, and divide that by one) 1/8 = 250ms = 2:1 (take the length of one beat, and divide that by two) 1/16 = 125ms = 4:1 (etc.) 1/32 = 63ms = 8:1 (etc.) See how the divisions are doubled-up for each note? And here are some dotted and triplet note examples - see how the D:B numbers start to get interesting! 1/4D = 750ms = 2:3 1/4T = 333ms = 3:2 1/8D = 375ms = 4:3 1/8T = 167ms = 3:1 A classic stereo delay would be 1:1 (1/4) left, and 4:3 (1/8D) right with Width set to max. If you want a really long delay, a 1:8 setting would give you 4 seconds at 120BPM with Multiply set to Normal, or 8 seconds set to Half. The Presets also include some typical (and not so typical!) examples to get you started. The fun really starts when you start mixing "unusual" (typically odd numbers) divisions and beats, such as 5:4 or 2:7. These sorts of relationships are what we typically refer to as polyrhythms. Try experimenting with PolyDelay on simple sequences and drum parts / patterns and you may start to hear all sorts of interesting rhythmic interplay as your brain tries to figure out what's going on! For additional tone-shaping, PolyDelay includes variable stereo width, a high and low pass filter, stereo modulation and internal limiting to keep audio levels in check.
