Kompute gives you 10 precision tools for studio math, all in one app. TAP TEMPO + METRONOME Tap to detect BPM with decimal precision. Built-in metronome. Round to nearest whole BPM or keep the exact reading. DELAY TIME TABLE Enter a BPM and see tempo-synced delay times for 21 note divisions. Normal, dotted, and triplet values in both milliseconds and Hz. NOTE TO FREQUENCY Convert any musical note to Hz. Supports 100+ temperaments beyond standard equal temperament. Adjustable concert pitch. Audio preview per note. FREQUENCY TO NOTE Enter a frequency, find the closest musical note with cents deviation. Identify the pitch of any sound. SAMPLE LENGTH CONVERTER Bidirectional conversion between samples, milliseconds, seconds, bars, and beats. Edit any field, all others recalculate. TEMPO CHANGE CALCULATOR Calculate time-stretch ratio and transposition when changing from one tempo to another. Shows stretch percentage, tempo delta, and semitone shift. TIMECODE CALCULATOR Full timecode arithmetic for video and film. Add, subtract, and multiply timecodes. Supports 10 FPS formats including 23.976, 29.97 drop frame, and 59.94. REVERB PRE-DELAY Calculate tempo-synced pre-delay values. Small, medium, large, and hall presets. Keep your reverb rhythmically aligned. COMPRESSOR SYNC Tempo-synced attack and release times. Lock your dynamics processing to the groove. EQ REFERENCE CHART Visual reference of frequency ranges by instrument and tonal character. Sub-bass through brilliance, with descriptions. CROSS-MODULE DATA FLOW Detect a tempo via Tap Tempo and it automatically transfers to Delay Table, Reverb, and Compressor modules. No ads. No tracking. No account required. Works fully offline. From All The Machines.
ScopeNode

ScopeNode is a multi-input oscilloscope, capable of visualizing multiple tracks layered on top of each other. The plugin features a suite of phase alignment tools built around an interactive visual workflow tailored specifically for the low end. These can help eliminate low-frequency clashes at the source so your tracks layer perfectly without heavy reliance on aggressive sidechain dips. The result is a much smoother, more fluid bass response. Beyond phase alignment, ScopeNode is perfect for visualizing how individual components line up, checking delays between signal points, or analyzing precise pre and post waveform differences across third-party plugins or subchains. FEATURES: - Free-Running & Beat-Synced Modes - 4-Layer Scope Matrix + Live Summing: Layer up to four audio tracks simultaneously with a real-time composite summing view for instant clash detection - Separate controls for visualization and sum inclusion to accommodate special use cases (optional) - Phase shifter with configurable center frequency and Q factor (one per track) - Sample grid delay, phase invert, gain control also available for each track - Multi-instance workflow: Drop plugin instances ("probes") anywhere in your signal paths to capture and compare tracks instantly TECHNICAL NOTES: - When enabled, it's recommended to verify that Plug-in Latency Compensation is not affecting synchronization in unexpected ways with the given set of active third-party plugins - Manual phase alignment is an advanced, hands-on process that requires time and active engineering effort, depending on the complexity of the tracks involved - Workflows could be greatly impacted by specific features of your DAW, e.g. ease of automation envelope editing, ways of laying out multiple viewports, etc. PLEASE NOTE: • An AUv3-compatible host is required to use this app (true interoperability can vary across different apps) • Please check our support page for a list of compatible host applications • Officially supported sampling rates: 44.1, 48, 96 kHz
