What it does

A spectral effect that takes two input signals, splits each into noise and tone components, and lets you morph between all four. Three XY pads handle tone balance, freeze and morph output, and each pad can be drawn into so the movement repeats on its own. Two three second delay lines sit on top, also freezable and drawable. It runs as a stereo effect or as a multi-input AUv3 fed by two separate stereo sources.

In the demo

Jade builds an evolving drone from a simple tone generator in AUM, drawing patterns into the tone and freeze pads so the texture keeps moving without her touching it. She then stacks it with GlitchScaper, BeatCutter and a drum machine to show how it sits in a noise chain, and confirms it running in Logic.

Worth knowing

Output is unpredictable by design, closer to sound design and horror texture than to a mix tool. She notes a low buffer setting produces artefacts, so 256 or 512 is the working range.
