MicroLag is a delay audio processor that allows you to set the delay time in an exact number of samples. While there are already quite a few sample delay plugins available, I couldn’t find one that quite fit my needs, so I made one. MicroLag allows you to set relatively long delay times, e.g. up to around 1 second at 48KHz sampling rate. You can also smoothly toggle between the delayed and bypassed / dry signal. Finally, the actual delay time in milliseconds (depending on the host sample rate) is displayed. That’s basically it! MicroLag is an AUv3 effects plugin that can run standalone, or in any AUv3 compatible host such as Logic Pro, GarageBand or AUM. MicroLag currently runs on iPadOS / iOS (iPad & iPhone) and macOS (Intel & Silicon) and is available as a Universal Purchase from the Apple App Store. If you’re planning on using MicroLag on Mac / desktop, please ensure that your favourite DAW / host supports AUv3 (not just AU).

PNEUMATIC is a valve pressure synth from NOIDED Industries. Push the lever and pressure builds in the tank. The pipe starts to whistle, the leak screams higher and the gauge climbs. Let go and it slams back, bleeding off into silence. Push it all the way across and it latches for a sustained drone. PRESSURE sets how hard the tank fills. PIPE tunes the resonant noise. LEAK adds a buzzing whistle that rises with the pressure. BLEED decides how fast it all drains away. No extra hardware needed. Everything is played on screen. If you want, any standard MIDI keyboard or MIDI app can also play it, with every note transposing the whole machine. Play it from a MIDI keyboard and every note transposes the whole machine. Velocity and aftertouch push the lever for you. Standalone app and AUv3 instrument Full MIDI CC control of every parameter Optional MIDI keyboard support (velocity, aftertouch, mod wheel)Keyboard, velocity, aftertouch and mod wheel control Save and load your own presets Works in AUM, GarageBand, Cubasis and other AUv3 hosts Made in Rochdale, UI elements photographed from local industrial areas. STAY NOIDED.
