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.
PhaseII
This audio effect plugin offers a dual stereo phaser with a vintage sound. It allows for independent phasing engines in parallel or series, with selectable modes for subtle to extreme effects. Controls include rate, depth, width, drive, and mix for versatile sound shaping.
- Dual stereo phasing engines
- Parallel and series processing modes
- Selectable effect modes (subtle to extreme)
- Adjustable rate, depth, and width
- Optional drive for analog warmth
- Soft limiting to prevent clipping

PhaseII Dual Stereo Phaser Plugin (AUv3) PhaseII is an audio effect plugin that can run standalone, or in any AU compatible host application such as Logic Pro, GarageBand or AUM. Overview PhaseII is a dual stereo phasing machine with a vintage vibe! As well as traditional super-wide stereo phasing effects, PhaseII can also produce all manner of swirly modulated goodness by running the independent phasing engines in parallel or series. Selectable modes allow quick access to finely-tuned settings under the hood that "just work", from subtle to extreme - just the thing if you find some phasers to be overly complex with too many parameters! Set Rate and Depth to taste, adjust the stereo Width, then you can even add some gritty Drive for some "analog" warmth. Controls Active - Bypasses the effect (Off) or selects one of the following processing modes: Stereo - Two independent phasers for the left and right channel, with LFOs 90 degrees out of phase for a stereo effect, determined by the Width control. Parallel - Two independent stereo phasers for the incoming audio, which are then summed together at the output stage. The LFOs for each of the four phasers are 90 degrees out of phase for a stereo effect, determined by the Width control. Series - Two independent stereo phasers with Phase I processing incoming audio, which is then passed on to Phase II for a double-helping of phasey goodness at the output stage! This is potentially the most dramatic phasing effect, especially with the Width set to maximum as each of the four phaser LFOs are 90 degrees out of phase. The following controls apply to each phase stage, referred to as Phase I or Phase II: Phase I/II - Toggles the Phase I or Phase II processing engine On or Off. Rate - Sets the rate of the phaser LFO in Hz. Depth - Sets the depth of the phase effect. Mode - Selects one of four different modes. Each mode configures several "under the hood" settings - think of each mode as a mini preset for internal parameters. Modes range from subtle (I) to extreme! (IV). The following controls are global: Width - Adjusts the stereo width from super-wide to monophonic. Note this only adjusts the "wet" phased sound so your original stereo image remains intact for the "dry" signal. Drive - Applies an optional amount of warm overdrive to the phaser processing only, for a bit of a vintage vibe! Mix - Balances the processed audio with the incoming / dry signal. At zero, the output is totally dry, and at 100%, the output is totally wet and phased to the max! The phasing effect can sometimes create loud resonant frequency peaks that could result in clipping. To protect against this, soft limiting is applied at both the phasing processing stage and at the final summed output. If the input levels are high, this can add to the "analog" like sound of PhaseII when compression and saturation occurs. About The UI Not everyone likes the UIs of my latest (2025) plugins - I get it. However, the simplistic and generic approach allows me to (a) 99% focus on the DSP, sound quality and CPU performance, and (b) significantly reduce the development (and potential maintenance) time, which is reflected in my pricing.
