Read full description

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.

About

ScopeNode

Features
Read full description

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: β€’ An AUv3-compatible host is required to use this app (true interoperability can vary across different apps) β€’ Please check our support page for a list of compatible host applications β€’ Officially supported sampling rates: 44.1, 48, 96 kHz
