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

Your music, made visible. LIQUIDWAVE is a music visualiser that reacts to what's playing in real time. It hears the bass, the beat and the highs apart, and 70+ scenes move with your music on iPhone and iPad. REACTS TO WHAT'S PLAYING Choose System Audio and the scenes follow what other apps play, such as a video or a streaming app. Pick System Audio from the microphone button's menu, then follow the steps on screen to start iOS's screen broadcast. Protected audio, such as Apple Music, can't be captured; use the microphone for it instead. LIVE SOUND, TOO Choose the microphone and the scenes respond to the music in the room: speakers, a record or a live set. EVERY PART OF THE SOUND Band levels, beat strength, kicks and snares, down to a fine spectrum. Each part of the sound turns into a line that sways, a light that flickers or a liquid that swells. 70+ SCENES. 10 STYLES. • Line — waveforms and contour lines. • Graphic — op art, geometric patterns and halftone dots. • Wire — wireframe oceans and rolling landscapes. • Raster — point clouds, particles and data-inspired forms. • Lighting — stage lights, lasers and haze. • Chroma — auroras, curtains and fields of colour. • Cyber — neon grids and retro-futuristic worlds. • Metal — liquid chrome, foil and iridescent surfaces. • Fluid — ferrofluid, lava, honey and liquids that heave and drip. • Spectral — oscilloscopes, field lines and forms drawn from a fine spectrum. SET THE SCENE FOR THE PARTY Send the visuals to a TV or projector with AirPlay or a compatible display cable: the big screen shows the visuals while your device becomes the controller. PRESS PLAY. LET IT RUN. Shuffle keeps the scenes coming. Save your favourites and adjust speed and intensity — or, with Full Unlock, shuffle playlists of your own. Touch the canvas and the scene reacts at your fingertip, too. With no sound coming in, Ambient Auto on the microphone button keeps the scenes moving (Ambient Auto plays no music). The screen stays awake while the app is in use. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Sound is analysed on your device and is not recorded or uploaded. No account, no tracking and no ads. Wave and one scene you choose during the welcome tour are free. Buy once, or subscribe yearly — either one unlocks every scene and scene playlists on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
