Sinevibes releases Array 3.0 "spectral sequencer" for Mac

Sinevibes has released Array 3.0, an Audio Unit effect plugin for spectral animation.

Array filters the incoming audio into eight separate bands and allows a user to individually pass or mute them in a rhythmical fashion, essentially working as a gate sequencer in the frequency domain. With macro controls for multiple parameters, Array is designed to be a quick yet capable tool for all kinds of spectral effects – morphed, stepped, strobed or glitched.

Array displays a live audio waveform on each filter band and allows to operate on it directly, giving the user a "what you see is what you get" workflow. Every element in its user interface is color-coded and features animations, in an effort to bring ease of use and interactivity. The GUI is made to be rendered on the Mac's graphics adapter for faster response and less load on the main processor.

Features:

• Sequencer with up to 32 steps, variable duration, division and swing ratio.
• Eight -24 dB/octave filters each with its own output gate sequence.
• Eight parameter snapshots within each preset, available for realtime switching and automation.
• Host transport synchronization with support for tempo and time signature changes.
• Live audio waveforms and fluid sequencer graphics visually matched to them.
• Support for multi-touch gestures and force touch on compatible trackpad devices.
• Fully hardware-accelerated rendering with support for Retina screen resolution.

Price: $29. Owners of previous Array versions can get the upgrade free of charge.
