WEAR Texture Processor vs Monandaeg

WEAR is an AUv3 texture processor designed for making audio feel uncertain. WEAR makes no sound on its own—it is an audio effect designed to be loaded inside a compatible AUv3 host. Place it after pianos, guitars, vocals, drums, synthesizers, field recordings, or other audio sources to introduce filtered, warbled movement and texture. Built around instability, movement, and degradation, WEAR reshapes incoming audio through a collection of processes designed to add character. RATE and DEPTH introduce pitch modulation. GATE responds dynamically to the incoming signal, allowing quieter material to become increasingly unstable while louder sounds push through. FILTER reshapes the frequency range, while GRIME, WASH, and ROOM introduce different forms of texture, space, and degradation. The result can range from subtle movement to extreme transformation depending on what you dial in. WEAR intentionally includes no presets. Its behavior depends heavily on the material being passed through it, so it is designed to be adjusted by ear for each sound rather than treated as a collection of fixed effects. Exploration is encouraged.

Mōnandæg plays your own recordings through a wave folder. Up to eight takes stand in a row, A to H. At any moment one or two of them are heard (PLAY), and one or two others are only listened to (FOLLOW): their loudness becomes voltage that pushes the fold — how hard it bends, and where the bends land. Every take has a gate of its own, wired into a small network; when one fires, the roles change hands. The piece keeps rearranging itself out of the sound itself. · A–H — eight takes. Tap the top of a cell to load a file, hold it to clear the take. REC→ chooses the take the microphone records into. · I · II · III — three fold stages in series, each an XY pad. · The net — how many takes, who plays, how they are read, when they swap. · FREEZE — one moment held as a chord. · BREAK — cuts and rewrites the files. · LOOP — one loop built from pieces of all of them. · TEXTURE — tape and disc: wow, flutter, hiss, skips, dropouts. · SEND — echo, room and sweep. · VOICE — the device reads a line of text aloud into a take of its own. · RADIO — internet radio as a source. · BASIC — one key: four takes, one heard, one listening, swapping every couple of seconds. · DRIFT — the pads and knobs move by themselves. iPhone and iPad, in landscape. Your recordings stay on the device.
