By converting audio into the spectral domain, BLEASS Spectral Resonator can shift, blur, filter, and restructure the frequency content of any sound before generating resonances. When blended with the source signal, this adds a controllable layer of pitch and timbre. Used fully wet, it produces rich and complex spectral textures. Resonances can be generated from an internal four-voice tone generator or directly from incoming MIDI notes. With up to eight voices of polyphony, glide, pitch bend, and up to 256 harmonics per voice, BLEASS Spectral Resonator can be played from MIDI to create tuned harmonic resonances and evolving spectral textures. Intuitive controls provide detailed manipulation of the resonator behaviour, including unison, detuning, harmonic stretching, density, damping, decay, and harmonic filtering. Harmonics can be restricted to even or odd series, while spectral shifting and blurring further reshape the resulting resonances. A spectral-domain filter lets you select the frequency range used to excite the resonators. The interactive 3D spectrogram visualises resonator activity over time while also providing direct control over the spectral filter. BLEASS Spectral Resonator also includes Freeze and Kill controls for holding or clearing active resonances. Designed to combine deep spectral processing with an accessible interface, it opens new possibilities for harmonic, rhythmic, and dynamic sound design, including inharmonic or atonal material such as drums. BLEASS Spectral Resonator is also available for Desktop. Find more information here: http://www.bleass.com/spectral-resonator
Algonautic
This app provides an interactive ambient chord pad instrument for iPad, allowing musicians to generate full chord voicings with a single tap. It offers various modes for sequencing, strumming, and evolving chord progressions, and can be integrated with DAWs as an AUv3 MIDI effect.
- Pads fire complete chord voicings
- Sync to DAW or trigger freely
- Gate and Latch modes
- Strum mode for natural movement
- Transition rules for evolving progressions
- Mutation mode for harmonic variations
- AUv3 MIDI effect compatibility

Algonautic A MIDI chord pad instrument for iPad. Each pad maps to a full voiced chord. Route the output to your DAW, layer it, sequence it, and capture it as MIDI. The chord library comes from my own catalogue: a harmonic language I developed across Sonic Dreams Vol. 1 & 2, now available as a playable instrument. *** Features • Pads fire complete chord voicings — one tap, full harmony • Sync to your DAW or trigger freely • Gate and Latch modes hold chords for as long as you need • Strum mode spreads chord attacks for natural movement • Transition rules step through chords in order or randomly — useful for progressions that evolve on their own • Mutation mode introduces inversions and harmonic variations over time • Two Part Doublers add bass and top-voice doublings in real time, each on its own MIDI output channel • Runs as an AUv3 MIDI effect in Logic Pro, AUM, Cubasis, and other compatible hosts — or standalone • MIDI only. No audio engine, no added audio latency *** Compatibility Notice Requires an AUv3-compatible host for plugin functionality.
