Fishtail vs Wind Crusher

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

Turn clean sounds into something more alive. Wind Crusher is an AUv3 effect for adding air, fizz, bite and digital movement to pads and fragile vocals in particular, but also electric guitars and snares can benefit. It starts where many bitcrushers stop. Instead of immediately destroying your sound with extreme lo-fi distortion, Wind Crusher lets you explore the subtle texture created by quantisation — adding digital residue while keeping the original character intact. Use the large AIR control to mix in and out the sound appropriately, then fine-tune the result with: • Bit Depth for controlling the digital resolution • Swoosh for adding movement and texture • Texture Tone for shaping the character • Air EQ for opening up the high frequencies • Mix for blending the effect with the original Use it subtly to add breath and presence. Push it harder for brittle edges, fizz, aggressive breakup and obvious digital destruction. Wind Crusher is designed to be quick to use, but deep enough to experiment with. A small set of presets helps you explore different characters without needing to understand every DSP parameter. Some of the effects in Wind Crusher rely on sounds within the 350-2000 Hz range and so you may get more audible results if your input sound contains frequencies in that range. Made for musicians, producers and sound designers who want to add a little extra to their clean sounds. Wind Crusher is built as an AUv3 Audio Unit for use with compatible music apps and hosts on Apple platforms.
