Octaves is our latest collaboration with Berlin-based composer and YouTuber Hainbach. It is a filter plugin designed to take apart the audio spectrum in spreads of octaves, allowing for unique and enchanting spectral sound design effects. Octaves gives you a retro-scientific approach to sound that echoes the timeless productions created in the BBC Radiophonic workshop or the WDR Studio für Elektronische Musik by the Avantgarde masters, and modern places like Willem Twee, Strøm, and Hainbach’s own laboratory.

About

PerformerClick

Features
Read full description

PerformerClick is a programmable metronome built for rehearsals, complex arrangements, and reliable live performance. Save every song with its tempo, meter, and beat grouping. Organize songs into projects and ordered setlists. For arrangements that need more than one steady click, program tempo changes, pauses, meter changes, and transitions in advance. On stage, PerformerClick presents the current and upcoming events in a clear performance view, allowing you to concentrate on playing instead of operating the metronome. FEATURES • Save songs with tempo, meter, and beat grouping • Create projects and ordered setlists • Program tempo and meter changes • Add pauses and choose how sections transition • Use odd meters and custom beat groupings • Follow all programmed events in Performance Mode • Reorder setlists quickly before a performance • Import and export projects for backup and transfer • Works completely offline • No account, advertising, analytics, or tracking For timing-critical live performance, a wired audio connection or USB audio interface is recommended. Bluetooth audio introduces unavoidable latency.
