TraceSonic vs SL DREAD

TraceSonic turns pictures into sound. Paint directly on a spectral canvas and hear each mark become part of a playable additive instrument: horizontal position is time, height is pitch, and brightness controls the level of each partial. Start with an empty canvas and draw with solid, soft, textured, tapered, or harmonic brushes. Fill the canvas with generated patterns, or import an image and turn its brightness into sound. Pitch snapping keeps freehand marks on your selected scale. Shape your sound with: • 128 additive oscillators spanning four octaves • Seven classic waveforms and 12 built-in wavetables • Forward, reverse, and ping-pong scanning • Adjustable pass length and tempo-synchronized loops in compatible Audio Unit hosts • MIDI note input for retuning the complete canvas • More than 60 factory patches, including tones, sequences, gestures, textures, drones, and sound effects • User patches that save the canvas and its synthesis settings • Solid, harmonic, soft, textured, and tapered brush families • Undo, redo, erasing, pitch snapping, and scale selection Use TraceSonic as a standalone instrument on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, or load its AUv3 instrument in a compatible host.

SL DREAD blends incoming audio with 30 evolving horror scenes. Process melodies, drum loops, vocals, synths and field recordings to build disturbing atmospheres for music, film and game sound design. Fusion makes the atmosphere respond to the source. Shape its character with Age, Decay, Motion, Voice, Event, Space and Mix, and control drone, breath, whisper and metallic layers independently. Transport Link follows playback in a compatible host. The weathered medical-monitor interface includes an audio-reactive CRT display, scene selection, user presets and input/output controls. On iPhone, compact portrait pages separate Controls, Layers and I/O. Use the full interface in landscape or on iPad. Includes a standalone app and an AUv3 audio effect. To process a track from another music app, insert SL DREAD in a compatible AUv3 host. Standalone input monitoring starts muted to avoid speaker feedback; use headphones when enabling microphone monitoring. No account or in-app purchase is required. Audio processing stays on your device.
