MetaSkew is a granular delay and pitch-shift effect built for producers, musicians, and sound designers who want one processor for width, motion, ambience, and controlled damage. What you can shape: - Delay time from tight doubling to long phrase memory - Pitch from deep drops to shimmer intervals - Grain size, smoothing, and gain for soft clouds or chopped repeats - Feedback, pan, mix, and output for clean blend control - Latch for frozen textures and phrase-end captures - Spread and Skew for stereo width, asymmetry, and unstable character The signature Skew control is the fastest way to move from polished enhancement into unstable texture. Keep it low for subtle smear, or push it with Spread, Feedback, and LFO movement for broken motion. Modulation is built in. Three LFOs can run free or sync to musical divisions, with Sine, Triangle, Sample & Hold, and Saw shapes. Route movement to Delay, Pitch, Grain, Smoothing, Feedback, Mix, Pan, Spread, or Skew, then push subtle drift or obvious rhythmic motion. Presets are designed around real production jobs, not random patches. Browse Utility, Width, Pitch, Atmosphere, Motion, Rhythmic, Freeze, Destruction, and Signature categories. Save your own snapshots, recall them later, and keep user presets synced through iCloud when available. For hands-on control, MIDI Learn lets you map parameters to hardware. Default assignments cover the core effect, and MIDI CC broadcast can reflect parameter movement in connected setups. Use MetaSkew for: - Vocal throws and shimmer trails - Wide synth doubles and guitar halos - Drum stutters, glitch fills, and tempo-locked motion - Frozen pads and transition beds - Experimental resynthesis, smear, and warped ambience MetaSkew includes a standalone app and effect plugin for host apps that support AUv3 plug-ins.

https://youtu.be/pwx72zQD0p8 Morphix - Morphing Wavetable Synthesizer Morphix is a polyphonic morphing wavetable synth and a faithful reconstruction of the lost 2005 FSR Morphite. Its architecture, parameters, and complete 64-patch factory bank were reverse-engineered from the original and rebuilt from scratch with JUCE — now a modern, multi-platform instrument themed after Aleph Void. A morphing oscillator feeds a state-variable filter, an amp VCA, and a stereo flanger, shaped by independent amplitude and filter ADSRs and a tempo-synced LFO. Sweep the morph parameter for evolving, animated textures — from glassy pads to gritty leads — all wrapped in a clean, dark Aleph Void interface. Features • Morphing wavetable oscillator into a state-variable filter (cutoff / resonance / env / keytrack) • Independent amplitude and filter ADSR envelopes • Tempo-syncable LFO routable to morph and cutoff • Built-in stereo flanger • Full pitch section with bipolar tune / fine • 64 factory presets recovered from the original synth • Import / Export your own .vstpreset patches • Branded Aleph Void UI — void palette, violet accent, JetBrains Mono type • AUv3 plug-in for use in GarageBand, AUM, Logic, and other AUv3 hosts Plays in your favorite DAW or stands alone. Built by Aleph Void. https://morphix.alephvoid.com
