Blue Clipper vs Metropoly

Converter-style clipping and saturation for louder, denser, more controlled mixes. Blue Clipper is modeled on the Lavry Blue 4496*, capturing the character of its saturation and clipping behavior in a simple, modern plug-in format It is designed to add density, control peaks, and increase perceived loudness while keeping the sound focused, musical, and mix-ready. ANALOG SATURATION Analog Saturation gently softens transient peaks before they hit the clipper, adding density and level control while keeping the sound natural and musical. Perfect for drums, bass, vocals, buses, and full mixes when you want extra loudness without obvious distortion. DIGITAL SATURATION Digital Saturation drives the signal into a stronger saturation curve, adding harmonic color, firmness, and perceived loudness. Use it when you want drums to hit harder, bass to feel thicker, synths and guitars to cut through, or a mix to sound more pushed and energetic. Works as a standalone app, AudioUnit v3 effect, or Inter-App Audio effect *Legal Disclaimer Lavry, Lavry Blue, and any related product names, logos, or trademarks are the property of their respective owners.

Metropoly is a polyrhythmic metronome that turns polyrhythms into something you can see and feel. It helps you develop an intuition for complex rhythms by visualizing them in a way that makes their structure obvious at a glance. BUY IT ONCE AND OWN IT - No subscription. - No ads. - No sign-in. - Every feature works offline. - One purchase for iPhone, iPad and Mac. BUILD A POLYRHYTHM - Up to six rhythms, each with its own beat count, all lining back up every cycle. - Every rhythm gets its own configurable color and sound, so the parts stay separable by eye and ear. - If preferred, add a count-in of one full cycle of the first rhythm, so you know where the loop starts before it starts. EXPORT THE LOOP AS VIDEO - Render the current polyrhythm to a square video at 1080p or 4K. - Choose a gray, black, white, or transparent background that drops straight into your edit. - Loop it 1 to 64 times, with or without audio. Loops are frame and sample accurate, so they cut together seamlessly. - Rendering carries on while you use another app, and tells you when it is finished. PRESETS - Save any configuration as a named preset and load it back instantly. - The app reopens on the polyrhythm you were last working on. THEMES - Three light themes and three dark themes, following the system appearance or pinned to one. - Separately configure the background color of the polygon view. ABOUT THE DEVELOPER Made by Thijmen Dam, an indie developer and musician building small, focused tools with care. Metropoly started as a way to practice polyrhythms, and grew into something I actually enjoy opening every day. Thanks for giving it a spin (literally!). It means a lot to me.
