Argotlunar

Argotlunar free multi-fx | echo | delay | filter | pitch-shifter | time-stretcher | granulizer by Michael Ourednik

Argotlunar is a free multi fx and echo and delay and filter and pitch shifter and time stretcher and granulizer VST, Audio Unit plugin developed by Michael Ourednik. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

Argotlunar is a real-time delay-line granulator. It breaks up an incoming audio stream into short samples (Grains). Each grain can have random settings of amplitude, panning, duration, delay, pitch, glissando, filter and envelope. The output of all grains is mixed and sent to the main output. The main output can be fed back into the main input.

Most of the parameters can be correlated. Examples: Higher filter cutoff for grains with higher pitch, and vice versa. Grains with shorter duration can be panned to the center, and conversely the grains with longer duration can be panned wide in the stereo field.

Details:

  • Time-related parameters can be synced to the host tempo.
  • Pitch-related parameters can be quantized to various chords/scales.
  • Up to three pairs of parameters can be correlated.
  • Raised-cosine-bell, parabolic, and triangle grain envelopes, with adjustable shape.
  • Transposition is spline-interpolated to reduce aliasing.
  • 12dB state variable filter (HP/BP/LP/Notch).
  • Comb filter.

Apollo MIDI over Bluetooth (Mac version)

Apollo MIDI over Bluetooth (Mac version) free studio-tool by Secret Base Design

Apollo MIDI over Bluetooth (Mac version) is a free studio tools plugin developed by Secret Base Design. Compatible OS(s): macOS, iOS.

With Apollo, you can send MIDI between iOS devices, or between an iOS device and a Mac. Between iOS devices, MIDI messages can be sent in either direction at any time. With a Mac and an iOS device, you can toggle the MIDI direction any time you like.

You can use the apps to use one iOS device to control synthesizers and sequencers on another, sequence an iOS device using Logic, or use an iOS device as a controller for Garageband. Apollo opens up new ways for you to use MIDI in your music setup.

Because the MIDI messages are carried over a Bluetooth connection, they are very low latency, and the bandwidth is also high. Bluetooth is commonly used in game controllers because of the responsive nature. With Apollo, you get low latency and easy set-up, without a tangle of MIDI adapters and cables. Visit the support page to see a demo of the app, and to get more information.

The Mac version is free — but can only connect to the iOS version, which is available in the iTunes app store.

Both the Mac and iOS versions require Bluetooth LE. This is a standard feature of recent Mac desktop and laptop computers; older Macs can use a compatible USB Bluetooth LE adapter.

Bluetooth LE is available in the iPad3, 4, Air, and Mini, and in iPhones starting with the iPhone4S and newer. Please note that older iPads and iPhones do not have Bluetooth LE, and are not compatible.
