Groove Destroyer isn't a gate, stutter, or glitch effect. Instead of chopping your audio into predictable patterns, it continuously reinterprets the groove underneath your music. Rhythms shift, accents evolve, filters dance, and movement emerges that feels alive instead of programmed. At the heart of Groove Destroyer is an intelligent groove engine that generates evolving rhythmic events while preserving the underlying pulse. Resonant filters, animated movement, saturation, and controlled instability combine to produce textures ranging from subtle motion to complete rhythmic mayhem. Use it on drums, percussion, synths, guitars, loops, vocals, or entire mixes whenever you want movement that sounds organic rather than mechanical. Whether you're adding a little instability or pushing a beat to the edge of collapse, Groove Destroyer creates grooves that never play exactly the same way twice.

Undae is an optical vibe, the watery and vocal swirl of the late sixties photocell units, rebuilt for iPhone, iPad and Mac. A single slow lamp sweeps a chain of staggered filters, so the notches roll through your tone unevenly instead of moving in a straight line. That stagger is what makes a vibe sound like a vibe and not a phaser. Chorus mode blends the sweep against your dry signal for the classic swirl. Vibrato mode drops the dry signal for a pure, seasick pitch wobble. Voice it to taste. Choose 2, 4, 6 or 8 stages, morph the lamp from a smooth sine to a lopsided ramp, move the sweep centre darker or brighter, and add a touch of feedback for a throatier, more vocal sweep. Set the speed by hand or lock the lamp to your project tempo. Spread it across the stereo field for a rotary style swirl, tilt the tone, then set mix and level. Twelve factory presets get you going, from Classic Chorus and Rotary Wide to Jet Phaser and Seasick, and you can save your own. Use it as an AUv3 audio effect in GarageBand, AUM, Loopy Pro, Cubasis, Logic and other hosts, with host presets, parameter automation and full session state. Or run it standalone with the built in demo bed, your microphone, or a song from your library, and export the processed result. Undae collects nothing. No accounts, no tracking, no analytics, no ads. All audio is processed on your device and is never recorded or uploaded.
