WEAR Texture Processor vs Tonic EP

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.

A physically modeled electric piano with three instruments: Tine, Reed and the E.Grand. THREE INSTRUMENTS • Tine: a steel tuning fork read by a magnet. A bell in the attack, a round body, and the growl that shows up when you dig in. • Reed: a steel reed read by static electricity. Sweet when you play lightly and barking when you play hard, with the sound of the small speakers in the lid. • E.Grand: the stringed electric piano of the 70s and 80s, across 88 keys, with the original circuit's preamp and Brilliance switch, and half-pedaling. Switching instruments never cuts the note that is ringing. A CONTROL FOR EVERY PART • Tine: Position (where the tine sits in front of the magnet), Distance (close growls, far sounds clean), Bell, Pre and Tone. • Hammer: Hardness (worn or new tip), Decay, Damper and Fork, the slow beat between the two arms of the tuning fork. • Reed: Bark, Comb, Clang and Cabinet. • E.Grand: Bass, Middle and Treble on the preamp, the Brilliance switch, Unison (the two strings, from the real instrument to a wide chorus) and Width. For the Rig, DI straight in or Suitcase, with the stereo tremolo on the mod wheel. EFFECTS RACK 16 effects built for keys: compressor, wah (pedal or auto), drive, amp with 6 models and a cabinet, 4-mode phaser, 8-mode chorus, vibe, flanger, tremolo, auto-pan, rotary with 4 cabinets, lo-fi, tempo-synced ping-pong delay, reverb with 9 spaces, 5-band EQ, and the limiter with Stereo. Drag to change the order of the chain. 121 effect presets and 17 ready-made chains swap the effects without touching the piano. ON STAGE Six scenes per sound (A–F) swap the whole sound mid-song, and Compare lets you hear the saved sound against your edit. MIDI Learn on any control, with a map per keyboard: one knob on your controller moves up to 12 controls at once. NRPN, MPE and a MIDI filter. Sustain pedal, pitch bend, volume, expression, Program Change and PANIC. Up to 64 notes at once. Pair a Bluetooth MIDI keyboard; on the Mac, the computer keyboard plays too.
