Metatone Lonsdale is a collaborative musical instrument created for a performance at Everything Nothing Projects at Lonsdale St Traders in Canberra, Australia. Tapping and swiping the screen controls sounds sampled from the venue as well as an array of percussive sounds. Switches control a "looping" function and an autoplay feature that triggers clusters of quiet sounds. The sounds and tonality of the instrument can be shuffled by pressing the "sounds" button When multiple devices running Metatone Lonsdale are on the same wifi network, the apps find each other automatically and control each others' tonality, looping and autoplay switches.

Remake is a multi-band effect designed for rich and crisp sound. The input signal is split into 3 parts. Then resonances are added to the lows (under 100Hz) and at the same time two harmonic voices are added to the mid frequencies only. One unison voice and one on perfect fifth interval. These 2 voices have their own positions in the stereo. Then the original mids are mixed with the additional voices and the signal goes through warm and gentle overdrive/gain booster effect with gain control. The high frequencies of the sound are sent through slight vibrato effect. All these signals are finally mixed on the output to form the result sound. The effect can work as a stand alone app and as an audio unit AUV3 plug-in. Controls: - Bass Vibe - amount of resonances on the low frequencies - Mid Gain - gain on the midshipmen’s - Voices - level of the additional mid voices - Reverb This is my first multi-band effect and I made it on a music hack day at Vienna to demonstrate my audio technology.
