Negative Harmony

Read full description

Negative Harmony lets you explore one of music theory's most fascinating transformations: reflecting any chord or progression across a tonal axis to produce its harmonic mirror image. TAP ANY CHORD Select a root and quality on the interactive Circle of Fifths. See the original chord and its negative simultaneously, with voice-leading automatically applied. BUILD PROGRESSIONS Add chords to a progression and play them back β€” originals or negatives β€” with smooth voice leading between every chord. Common tones are held, not re-attacked. UNDERSTAND THE THEORY Built-in theory section explains the concept from first principles: the axis, the transformation formula, voice leading, and the history from Hugo Riemann to Jacob Collier. 5 SOUNDS Choose from Rhodes, Strings, Choir, Organ, or Synth Pad β€” the same high-quality soundfont used by professional music apps. MULTILINGUAL Full support for English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese.

About

WEAR Texture Processor

Read full description

WEAR is an AUv3 texture processor designed for making audio feel uncertain. WEAR makes no sound on its ownβ€”it is an audio effect designed to be loaded inside a compatible AUv3 host. Place it after pianos, guitars, vocals, drums, synthesizers, field recordings, or other audio sources to introduce filtered, warbled movement and texture. Built around instability, movement, and degradation, WEAR reshapes incoming audio through a collection of processes designed to add character. RATE and DEPTH introduce pitch modulation. GATE responds dynamically to the incoming signal, allowing quieter material to become increasingly unstable while louder sounds push through. FILTER reshapes the frequency range, while GRIME, WASH, and ROOM introduce different forms of texture, space, and degradation. The result can range from subtle movement to extreme transformation depending on what you dial in. WEAR intentionally includes no presets. Its behavior depends heavily on the material being passed through it, so it is designed to be adjusted by ear for each sound rather than treated as a collection of fixed effects. Exploration is encouraged.
