Trouble sleeping? Mind won't stop? Need to focus but can't? Millions of people use sound frequencies to relax, meditate and sleep better. RE Frequency gives you a professional generator you can use at home, at the office or before bed. HOW IT WORKS Your brain naturally synchronizes with the sounds it hears. A frequency at 7.83 Hz (Earth's natural pulse, the Schumann Resonance) can guide you into deep states of calm. Binaural beats and isochronic tones are techniques used in guided meditation, sound therapy and neuroscience. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Frequency generator from 0.1 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Infrasounds you feel in your body with a subwoofer. - Isochronic tones: rhythmic pulses that work through speakers, no headphones needed. Perfect for meditating anywhere. - Binaural beats: two different frequencies, one per ear. Your brain creates a third tone. Headphones required. - Ambient: 19 sounds in 3 categories β€” technical noise, nature and urban ambience. Mix several at once with independent volume. - 26 professional presets: Solfeggio, wellness, brainwaves, sleep and focus. - 3-layer combiner: blend up to three frequencies with different waveforms simultaneously. - 9 waveforms: sine, square, triangle, sawtooth and 5 noise types. - WAV export, sleep timer and night mode. FREE VERSION Access the generator with basic waveforms, infrasonic frequencies and 10 presets for free. PREMIUM (one-time purchase, no subscription) Unlock isochronic tones, binaural beats, all waveforms, layer combiner, timer and all presets. Created by Resonancia Γ‰ter. Rediscover from the ether.

Stochastic Lab

Features
Read full description

Stochastic Lab is a generative composition tool built around the mathematical methods Iannis Xenakis used to compose: probability distributions, stochastic processes, and Markov chains, applied directly to sound. GENERATE β€’ 6 generation modes: melody, rhythm, cluster, cloud, pointillistic, sequence β€’ 6 probability distributions: uniform, Gaussian, exponential, Cauchy, Poisson, linear decay β€’ Full control over density, register, tempo, block length, and Markov-driven contour β€’ Choose a single orchestral section (strings, winds, brass) or let the generator blend all three β€’ Pick exactly which percussion sounds are in play REAL INSTRUMENTS β€’ Real sampled strings (high & low), winds, brass, and an 8-piece percussion kit β€” not synthesized approximations β€’ Authentic short (pizzicato/staccato) and sustained articulations β€’ Genuine glissando and tremolo, generated as part of the composition itself EDIT & PERFORM β€’ Full piano roll editor: drag notes, edit pitch by semitone, adjust duration and velocity β€’ A live recording keyboard to play your own material into any layer β€’ Freeze a generated block into a fixed, fully editable sequence at any time SCORE β€’ A live, Xenakis-style graphic score (particle-cloud visualization) for every layer β€’ Expand any layer β€” or the full combined score β€” to fullscreen, with zoom and a moving playhead β€’ Export the score itself as a printable, shareable image SEQUENCE & ARRANGE β€’ Multi-layer Sequencer for building full compositions from generated or recorded material β€’ Song mode for arranging multiple sections into a complete piece EXPORT β€’ Export audio (WAV) and MIDI, mixed or as separate stems per layer, straight from the Generator, Sequencer, or Song view AUv3 PLUGIN β€’ Stochastic Lab also runs as a real Audio Unit (AUv3) instrument inside GarageBand, Logic, AUM, and other hosts β€’ The actual generative engine runs live inside your DAW β€” not a static sample player β€’ A dedicated on-plugin control panel (mode, distribution, density, pitch range, tempo, and more), with a Preview button to audition before recording β€’ Full MIDI recording support, including pitch bend and glissando THEORY β€’ A built-in Theory section covering Xenakis's life and stochastic music concepts, with real-instrument audio examples for every distribution Stochastic Lab works entirely on-device β€” no account, no internet connection required, no data collected.
