About

ON'NENIKUR

Read full description

ON'NENIKUR is an octave-freeze reverb app for iPhone and iPad. It can be used as a standalone audio app or as an AUv3 effect inserted into compatible host apps such as GarageBand. This processor blends standard-pitch reverb with a pitch-shifted dry signal before applying modulation, filtering, envelope shaping, and dry/wet mixing. “DARK” shifts the original sound down an octave to create a rich, spacious sound, while “LIGHT” shifts it up an octave to produce a brighter, more ethereal sound. “FREEZE” transforms the reverb tail into a playable hold texture. Features - Octave-down (DARK) and octave-up (LIGHT) reverb - Two reverb paths: standard pitch and pitch-shifted - FIR (chorus-style) and OAK (phase-style) modulation modes - RISE (swell) and FALL (standard envelope) - Adjustable filter, decay, mix, octave level, depth, rate, and output - “FREEZE” for creating sustained textures and drone sounds - Instrument input mode and line input mode - 2x and 4x processing modes to control the quality of the octave shift - Standalone iOS/iPadOS app - AUv3 audio effect Trial Before Unlocking The trial version of this product is designed to allow 10 minutes of active use of all features across both the standalone app and the AUv3 plug-in. A one-time, non-consumable in-app purchase unlocks unlimited use in both formats. The “Restore Purchase” feature is also available in the standalone app. ON’NENIKUR is designed for shoegaze, ambient, post-rock, and any arrangement where guitars, synthesizers, vocals, and reverb are integral parts of the song’s composition.

About

ThunderBeast

Read full description

Rain, wind and thunder, all synthesized in real time. No samples, no loops. Every storm ThunderBeast makes is a storm happening for the first time. EIGHT CITIES, EIGHT SKIES A New York night storm. London drizzle. A Miami squall. Seattle mist. The Bangkok monsoon. A Reykjavik gale. An evening shower in Kyoto. A Cape Town storm front. Choose a preset and the scenery, the weather and the colour of the panel change together, so the city you are listening to is the city in front of you. TEN WEATHER CONTROLS Precipitation and drop size shape the rain; wind speed, gust and turbulence move the air. Storm rate decides how often lightning happens and storm energy decides how heavy each strike lands, while cell distance walks the storm from directly overhead out to the horizon. Humidity and pressure change the whole feel of the sky, and width and gain finish it. FOUR KINDS OF LIGHTNING A crack at close range, thunder that rolls, strikes that repeat, a sheet of light across the whole sky - each one carrying the swell that comes back off the landscape. The bolt is drawn on screen as it happens and changes colour as the storm moves away. No two strikes are ever the same. PLAYABLE WEATHER Play from C2 up and the rain rings at that pitch. Chords and melodies come out of the falling rain. Play below C2 and lightning strikes instead: pitch sets the distance, velocity sets the weight. Twelve hardware controller presets are built in; the mod wheel is storm energy and the sustain pedal is lightning. STANDALONE AND AUv3 Use it on its own, or as an AUv3 plug-in in GarageBand, Logic Pro and others. START FREE Three cities are free from the first launch. ThunderBeast Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription: it opens the remaining cities (eight in all) and adds recording and export to WAV, AIFF and FLAC.
