Solitvde is a modulating shimmer reverb AUv3. We've packed early reflections, a diffusion engine, a modulation tank and a feedback delay network into one streamlined signal path, all tuned to run light on CPU. Inside the recirculating tank, a few granular pitch-shifting lines give a glassy, climbing shimmer. It's built around one principle: tweaking a parameter never introduces a click or a pop. Every control is modulation-safe from the get-go, which opens up a whole second range of expression and modulation to explore. Two tempo-syncable LFOs, a random source, and an envelope follower tracking the input can route to almost any control, so the space and time of the reverb fold in on themselves to give us solitude, at long last. FEATURES - Eight-line feedback delay network: Size, Density, and a true RT60 Decay in seconds. - Recirculating octave and fifth shimmer voices. - Two-pole tail damping that can roll off the high end. - Freeze as an amount, rather than a toggle, to hold the tail indefinitely. - Multimode filter (low-pass, high-pass, band-pass) in multiple signal placements, plus a low cut to prevent rumble accumulating. - Pre-delay, early reflections, stereo width, and mix controls. - Modulation matrix: two LFOs, a random source, and an envelope follower, routable to almost any control. Assign a source on a fader. LFOs sync to host tempo. - Factory presets to start from, plus the option to save your own. COMPATIBILITY (macOS) Runs standalone and as an AUv3 audio unit. Compatible with Logic Pro, Ableton Live, GarageBand, and any host that supports AUv3 effects on macOS 14 or later. COMPATIBILITY (iOS) Runs standalone and as an AUv3 audio unit. Compatible with GarageBand, AUM, Cubasis, and any host that supports AUv3 effects on iOS 17 or later. — Timothy J. Barraclough / Horse Parade
Fishtail

- Algorithmic music generation
- Multi-section compositions
- Seven-channel MIDI output
- Retain, reorder, and perform Takes
- Multiple intonation systems
- AUv3 MIDI plug-in support
- Ableton Link integration

Fishtail is a generative MIDI instrument for iPhone and iPad. It composes complete musical forms, then lets you shape, perform, retain and rearrange them! Explore six composers, including Lumière’s evolving modal colour and Ritual Engine’s rhythmic energy. Roll D7 for a shaped recipe, then Generate and edit it. Fishtail does not use AI to generate music. Its musical output is created through algorhythmic generation grounded in musical theory. Build pieces from sections with independent keys, modes, meters, cadences and expressive treatments. Generate distinct Takes, compare them, reorder them and hand the next Take over at a natural whole-piece boundary. Fishtail produces MIDI rather than sound. Use it standalone or as an AUv3 MIDI plug-in, and route its seven musical channels to the instruments you choose. Ableton Link supports shared tempo and transport. Features: • Complete multi-section generative compositions • Seven-channel MIDI output • Retain, reorder and perform Takes • Seven intonation systems • Normal MIDI, pitch-bend and MPE output • MTS output • Ableton Link • .fishtail project save and recall • Standard MIDI and per-channel export • Experimental analogue CV file packages • Accessible light and dark interfaces No account, advertising, analytics or tracking. Tested in AUM
