Strange Audio DSP maniFold OmegamaniFold Omega is a hybrid real-time effect processor that blends real-time micro-looping, granular fx, spectral-style delay processing, and feedback-based textures. It's designed for experimental sound design, ambient layering, glitch textures, and abstract time-based transformations: Key Features. Micro-looper and Granular FX engine with 16 Play Heads. Each head plays from a shared variable-size audio buffer. Randomized playback: Position, length, panning, and pitch. Real-time Visualization: Monitor active heads and playback positions instantly. Advanced Buffer Management: Variable Buffer Size: Adjustable from 1 to 60 seconds, allowing for everything from tiny glitches to massive ambient loops. State Saving: The audio buffer state is saved directly with your DAW project, so your textures are exactly where you left them when you reload. Buffer Control. Freeze/Lock: Capture a sonic moment for infinite looping. bufferClear: Instantly flush the play/record buffer for a fresh start: Delay Cluster. 16 delay lines using all-pass filter topology (not standard delays). Rich comb-filtering, pitch smearing, and spectral-like time dispersion: Recirculation. Feeds the delay network back into itself for evolving, chaotic textures. Functions similarly to a high-end reverb tank or modular feedback loop. Envelope & Loop Shape. mLoopShape: Sets the amplitude envelope for each play head. mLoopSize: Defines minimum playback size (500ms to 5s) for tighter or broader loops. https://youtu.be/RerMg40BISk Available as VST3 and AU for macOS and Windows.

Living Fish Studio Guitar Stroke HelperBuild guitar strokes from TAB notation — no guitar skills required. Guitar Stroke Helper is a guitar MIDI workflow tool. Design your performances from TAB notation — fretting and picking controlled independently. Shape strokes, riffs, arpeggios, or custom picking patterns, then export the result as MIDI and play it through your preferred guitar library. You design the performance. They handle the sound. Designed for composers and arrangers who want realistic guitar parts without needing to play guitar: TAB-based note input — type fret numbers directly, just like reading a TAB sheet. Independent fretting and picking — change chords and strokes separately for flexible performance building. Stroke curve editor — control the timing of each string for realistic strum feel. Anchor string — choose which string lands on the beat for natural groove. Per-string velocity and on/off — fine-tune dynamics string by string. Custom tuning — set each string's pitch freely. MIDI drag and drop — export your patterns to your DAW and play through your preferred guitar library. Note: Guitar Stroke Helper outputs MIDI only. A guitar library is required for sound. Compatibility: macOS: VST3 / AU. Windows: VST3 (tested on Windows 10). Tested DAWs: Mac: Cubase, Reaper, Logic Pro, Luna. Windows: Cubase, Reaper. Read More
