Ambiotica turns any sound into a slowly evolving ambient spacescape. Feed it a chord, a field recording, a guitar, or your voice, and it spins that input into a living drone: a rolling looper, a granular cloud, micro-loops, and a modulated, chord-tuned reverb, all pulled together by one macro called Gravity. THE SIGNAL CHAIN Your sound splits into two parallel paths. One is a Looper feeding a Granular cloud; the other is a parallel Micro-loop. Both merge into a modulated Reverb, and the reverb tail regenerates back into the source, so the texture keeps re-graining and evolving on its own. THE CONTROLS Orbit: a tempo-synced rolling looper. Sets the loop length and feeds it back on itself, so layers stack into an evolving bed. Constellate: clouds the sound into grains. Turn it up and the grains grow and spread in pitch, from a sparse sparkle to a thick pad scattering into octaves and fifths. Satellite: a second, faster loop. Down for a long, rolling loop; turn it up and it tightens into a tiny fragment that freezes and sustains into a drone. Tail: the reverb's decay, from a small room to an endless wash. Flux: sets the reverb tail in motion (shimmer and a stereo drift) and feeds it back into the chain, driving the self-evolving regeneration. Spectra: a bank of resonators tuned to your chord. Rings the reverb tail into a harmonic shimmer (set Key and Chord). Dilation: reverse. Flips the loops and grains so they play backward. Gravity: the master pull. Raises feedback, decay, granular density, freeze and motion all at once, collapsing the whole chain into a single sustained drone. Event Horizon: the counter-force. Pulls feedback, decay, the chord ring and the regeneration down together, emptying the chain toward silence. Mix and Level: dry/wet blend and output trim. Tap any stage's constellation to bypass it and build the exact chain you want. Sixteen factory presets give you starting points, from gentle shimmer to a full frozen drone. A NIGHT-SKY INSTRUMENT The interface is a living constellation. Each stage is a glyph that breathes and moves with the sound, and Gravity collapses the whole field into a glowing well. A reduce-motion option stills the animation whenever you want. FORMATS Ambiotica is an AUv3 plug-in for iPhone and iPad. Load it in AUM, GarageBand, Drambo, Loopy, and other AUv3 hosts, plus a standalone app. Built for ambient, drone, film scoring, sound design, and live texture.

Features
Read full description

PerformerClick is a programmable metronome built for rehearsals, complex arrangements, and reliable live performance. Save every song with its tempo, meter, and beat grouping. Organize songs into projects and ordered setlists. For arrangements that need more than one steady click, program tempo changes, pauses, meter changes, and transitions in advance. On stage, PerformerClick presents the current and upcoming events in a clear performance view, allowing you to concentrate on playing instead of operating the metronome. FEATURES • Save songs with tempo, meter, and beat grouping • Create projects and ordered setlists • Program tempo and meter changes • Add pauses and choose how sections transition • Use odd meters and custom beat groupings • Follow all programmed events in Performance Mode • Reorder setlists quickly before a performance • Import and export projects for backup and transfer • Works completely offline • No account, advertising, analytics, or tracking For timing-critical live performance, a wired audio connection or USB audio interface is recommended. Bluetooth audio introduces unavoidable latency.
