Incline

NeverEngineLabs

Incline (Toposonic Corpus Explorer) is a standalone granular instrument that uses machine-listening analysis to segment fixed audio into a navigable two-dimensional sonic map. It provides three playback modes (One Shot for segment audition, One Loop for continuous micro-loop traversal, and Cloud for distributed granular textures) plus a Contour Sequencer for automated traversal, used by composers and sound designers for granular resynthesis and corpus-based sound design.

StarWaves

sonicPlanet

StarWaves is an audio-visual synthesiser for sonic-architecture and generative sound texture design. It places transmitter, particle, and beam objects in a non-gravitational 3D space whose kinetic interactions trigger granular-level sonic events, with scene capture, animated transitions, MIDI/OSC control, and a parallel VR version, used in sound design, generative music, and immersive composition.

NOMN FOAM

POLYTOPE KK

FOAM is a real-time bubble-acoustics and foam-synthesis plug-in based on direct physical modelling of gas-liquid interactions. It models 11 acoustic stages of a bubble's life across up to 16,384 simultaneous voices on multi-core CPUs, with physics-driven parameters for liquid identity, foam topology, and population dynamics, used in sound design, electroacoustic composition, and experimental music.

Neutone Morpho

Neutone

Neutone Morpho is a real-time tone-morphing plug-in that resynthesises input audio into the timbre of pre-trained machine-learning models while preserving the input's temporal shape. It offers Macro and Micro interaction modes over latent variables of an autoencoder, with on-platform custom model training via Neutone Cocoon, used in sound design, music production, and experimental performance.

GRM Tools Atelier

INA grm

GRM Tools Atelier is a modular environment for creative sound manipulation and generative synthesis. It comprises freely chainable processor and modulator modules — including granular sample playback, spectral filtering, pitch shifting, multi-tap delay, and comb filtering — with a polyadic modulation engine and unbounded multichannel processing, used in electroacoustic composition, sound design, and immersive audio.

Audiocube

Audiocube is a standalone 3D digital audio workstation for spatial audio design and experimental composition. It places samplers, emitters, tickers, soundwalls, effect zones, LogicBoxes, and ambience devices in a virtual 3D scene with binaural HRTF rendering, acoustic simulation of reflections and occlusion, MIDI sequencing, and spatial automation, used in immersive music production, sound installation, and experimental sound design.

Anukari

Anukari, LLC

Anukari is a 3D physics-based synthesiser and effects processor that builds instruments from networks of masses and springs in a real-time interactive 3D simulation. Sources include mallets, plectrums, bows, oscillators, and audio inputs picked up by virtual microphones; full MPE and MTS-ESP microtuning are supported, used in experimental sound design, physical-modelling composition, and live performance.
