Atmosphere machine. Texture generator. Harmonic workstation. A dual-engine audio sustainer with intermodulation, advanced filtering, support for custom samples, and more – all in the service of adding depth and character to your music. Coastline uses a combination of additive and granular synthesis to stretch sounds infinitely. It creates complementary ambience for any sound or composition. It brings a textural “je ne sais quoi” that makes your tracks stand out and feel more alive. Move as quickly as you want: slap it on a track for instant atmosphere, or use it as the recording and processing hub of entire compositions. All recordings happen immediately and automatically – set one volume threshold, and sit back. ENGINES AND EFFECTS • Tide – an additive synthesizer for reimagining sound. Control which frequencies of the input are mapped to oscillators, rebalance them to highlight harmonic or inharmonic characteristics, and introduce new frequencies with waveshaping. • Glade – a granular synthesizer that stretches sound forever with no clicks or transients. Balance the original timbre of your sound against Tide’s distillation of it. • Audio Matrix – route any channel in Coastline to intermodulate another. Create unique harmonic distortions, or load samples to introduce a completely new texture. Includes built-in field samples for naturalistic textures. • Filter – a multi-mode filter for all audio in Coastline, featuring feedback modulation, stereo spread, and independent per-channel controls. • Reverb – a downsampling reverb with a highly configurable chorus section for blending the results of Coastline and introducing another layer of texture and modulation. FEATURES • Modulation – modify any control in Coastline with multiple LFOs, sequencers, smooth random sources, and performance effects. • Presets – full preset control over every parameter in Coastline. Cross-platform preset format for sharing with friends. • Waymaker – connect to Coastline’s sibling application, Waymaker, for sequencing and additional control over the pitch of Coastline’s output. Includes 20+ presets by Peter Bark and imago meri. Also available for macOS and Windows in VST3 / AU / AAX formats from Aqeel Aadam Sound.

Jungle Breaks is a dual-scene live performance groovebox built as the mobile workflow for old-school jungle, drum 'n' bass, and breakcore music enthusiasts. Built as the powerful successor to the Amen Break Generator app, it expands on its original concepts by introducing MPC-style sampler pads, quantized pad loopers, and a comprehensive set of iconic samples: era-defining 1990s jungle breakbeats, chord pads and subbasses. The dual-scene layout allows to run two complete, independent 16-pad setups in parallel — 32 pads total — each with its own samples, effects, and snapshots. With this you can easily blend two arrangements, build transitions, or extend a set on the fly. The app features state-saving snapshots for instant performance recall and runs standalone or as a synchronized AUv3 plugin inside an iOS host DAW. Whether you're chopping the amen break on stage or building a session in the studio, Jungle Breaks keeps your hands on the sound instead of buried in menus. Key features: * Sampler playback modes: Choose between standard One-Shot Mode (with +/- 12 semitone tuning) and Sliced Mode, which auto-chops loops into user-defined clips. * Independent DSP Routing: Group individual pads into 4 color-coded sub-mixes, running each through an independent sequential chain of DSP effects. * Free-Play Mode — Jam over your samples with automatic tempo quantization, so live-triggered loops and effects always land on the beat (or lock to your host's MIDI clock as an AUv3). * 32-Step Live Loopers: Capture and overdub live taps across integrated 16 loopers with three distinct launch modes (Start on Tap, Start Immediately, and Count-In) with adjustable tempo (60-240 BPM). * Live loopers pattern editor: Edit your recorded midi events, step-by-step with 32-steps grid-style editor. * 16-Effect DSP Chain per Group — Every group runs its own independent signal chain of 16 tempo-synced effects, including a segment-shuffling Scrambler, a randomized-loop Juggler, a stutter Repeater, rhythmic Gater, Bitcrusher, Flanger, stereo Ping-Pong Delay, sweeping filters, vinyl-style Slowdown, and tempo-locked Reverse — 64 effect slots in total across all 4 groups. * Scene Snapshots: Store and recall 4 snapshot slots per scene on the fly to capture exact sample maps, active looper patterns, and effect parameters perfectly quantized to the global tempo. * Scene Snapshots — Capture your full pad, effect, and looper state into 4 instant-recall slots per scene, with automatic synced transitions between them. * Save & Load Scenes — Store and reload complete performance setups as files, and swap them live mid-set without interrupting playback. * AUv3 & MIDI Integration: Run natively or as an AUv3 plugin inside iOS host DAWs, utilizing full MIDI note maps for pad triggers, snapshot recalls, MIDI Transport, and dedicated scene stop/panic notes. * Import your own loops and one-shots samples. App accepts custom WAV files (16/24 bit, mono/stereo)
