Read full description

Pitch Destroyer is a creative pitch effect that tears apart incoming melodies and rebuilds them into unpredictable, harmonized fragments. Instead of simply shifting pitch or adding harmony, Pitch Destroyer continuously captures pieces of your performance and launches them into new musical directions. Notes leap across octaves, fifths, pentatonic shapes, chromatic runs, and broken interval patterns while remaining surprisingly playable. The result is somewhere between a rogue arpeggiator, a fragmented harmonizer, and an improvising musical partner. From subtle ghost notes to complete melodic collapse, Pitch Destroyer transforms vocals, guitars, synths, basses, leads, pads, and samples into evolving streams of controlled chaos. Destroy the melody. Keep the music. Features • Creates rogue melodic fragments from incoming audio • Seven musical interval modes • Tempo-aware fragment generation • Dynamic pitch jumping and melodic mutation • Layered fragment voices for evolving textures • From subtle harmonization to complete melodic destruction Controls Destroy Controls how aggressively Pitch Destroyer breaks apart your melody. Range Sets how far generated fragments may jump in pitch. Density Controls how frequently new melodic fragments are created. Mode Selects the musical interval behavior: Octave Fifths Minor Major Pentatonic Chromatic Broken Chaos Controls randomness, timing variation, and melodic unpredictability. Glue Blends generated fragments into the original performance for smoother or more separated results. Mix Adjusts the balance between the original signal and the destroyed output.

2099 Techno writes complete tracks. Press generate and you get 76 bars with an intro, builds, two main sections, a breakdown and an outro, played by a virtual-analog engine and a 909-style drum machine. Bass, acid, stabs, pad, a lead line and the kit, through a dub delay, chorus and reverb. Nothing is sampled. Every note is made on the fly and no two tracks come out the same. The music comes from chaos maths. Three Lorenz attractors shape the melody, the rhythm and the mood. Three separate logistic maps run underneath the drums, the bass and the acid line, so they wander independently: turn the logistic control down and the hats and perc repeat every bar, turn it up and they never do. Chaos on its own is noise, so a small model filters it. It gets rewarded for consonant intervals and rehearses two hundred notes over the changes before it writes anything. The CHAOS / TASTE slider decides how much say each one gets. Eight styles, and they are properly different. Detroit rolls an off-beat bass under syncopated stabs. Dub Techno holds one chord for four bars and lets the delay do the work. Acid runs a 303 line with slides and accents. Hard pushes past 140 with a Reese bass and the drive up. Minimal takes most of it away. Every track is built from its seed. Write the seed down and you can have that exact track again, note for note, whenever you want it. You can play over it, too. The pads are the notes of the track's key rather than a piano keyboard, so nothing you touch is wrong, and the sixteen-step lane runs in time with the track and follows your host. Both play any part you like: bass, acid, stabs, pad or lead, through that part's sound and out on its MIDI channel. Choose which sections the lane plays in - just the breakdown, say - and preview it on its own without starting the track. Turn on RADIO and it keeps playing, picking a new key, mode, style, sound kit and tempo for each track. You also get: • 8 styles, 6 dark modes, 12 keys, tempo and density • Two-oscillator analog voice with sub, noise, resonant filter and glide • 22 presets and 9 sound kits, from Warehouse to Game Boy, plus random patch • Six-part mixer, dub delay, chorus, plate reverb and a global sweep filter • A PLAY panel: pads in the track's own key, and a 16-step lane with accent and slide, running in time with the track and only in the sections you pick • MIDI in, so your keyboard plays whichever part you have selected • MIDI export: six tracks, one per part • Live spectrum, waveform and a view of the chaos engine at work Two Audio Units, an instrument and a MIDI processor. Each part sends on its own MIDI channel, drums on 10, so one instance can drive six instruments. The MIDI version passes your keyboard through instead of swallowing it. Both follow your host's tempo and transport. One install registers both. The app is free and nothing in it is held back. Using the Audio Units inside other apps is a one-time purchase, and each AUv3 session plays for two minutes first so you can try them properly.
