StreamByter MIDI Processor AU
StreamByter is a plugin for creating custom MIDI effects. It can be used as an Apple Audio Unit (AU) effect or as a standalone app connected via CoreMIDI virtual ports. StreamByter is ported from our acclaimed MidiFire MIDI processing environment.

An iOS device (minimum iOS 11) and a suitable AU host app such as AUM, apeMatrix, Cubasis or Sequencism is required to use the AU variant. To use with CoreMIDI, a routing app like MidiFire is recommended and an iOS device with at least iOS 8 is required.

Use StreamByter to:

– Extend the MIDI processing functionality of any AU host.
– Remap channels, notes, controllers (anything MIDI)
– Filter MIDI events coarsely or finely
– Clone or Delay any event
– Send any event automatically when plugin is loaded
– Create complex effects using programming concepts like conditionals, loops, variables (including array, timing and random), and math operators.

StreamByter is configured using a textual rules ‘language’ that defines how the effect should operate. Please see the support link to go to our website for full details.

Kronecker Update Adds Microtuning!

Kronecker Update Adds Microtuning!

Kronecker is a synthesizer with a mechanism to make sounds many times like a rhythm machine each time you press a keyboard. In addition to synchronizing the trigger speed to the tempo, you can gradually increase the speed or slow it down after pressing the key. This makes it possible to produce synthesizer sounds like bouncing balls and clockwork toys. Kronecker has four emitters that emit sound particles made from FM tones and noise. At the emitter you can specify at what timing the sound particles will be triggered. You can also add effects such as the pitch and tone of particles gradually changing. Particles emitted by the emitter can be processed with two resonators, and you can reproduce sounds like particles jumping on strings and pipes. Kronecker works not only on the iPad but also on the iPhone. It also supports Audio Unit Extensions (AUv3), so you can plug in to AUv3 compatible host. For each screen size, different layouts are designed to be easy to use and intuitive.
