A spatial engine. Your sound becomes a point on a path through a room, and everything after it answers to where that point is: the echo it leaves behind, the objects it passes, the pitch of its approach. Leave your email and we'll tell you the day it ships.Out now for macOS, VST3 and AU.

A spatial engine. Your sound becomes a point on a path through a room — circle, bounce, spiral, drift — and everything after it answers to where that point is: the echo it leaves behind, the objects it passes, the wall in the way, the pitch of its approach.

MOVEMENT and DEPTH say where the source is and how far it runs; WIDTH and ROTATION shape the picture that is already there. The path itself is drawn on the screen, and FREEZE stops it where it stands.
DOPPLER lets the pitch follow the approach. BINAURAL replaces panorama with a listener: time of arrival and shadow for each ear, so the source is somewhere rather than left or right.
RESONATORS ring when the source passes them and keep ringing where they stand, so a circle becomes an arpeggio. OCCLUDER puts an obstacle in the way, and the shadow closes as the source goes behind it.
DELAY puts the echo where the source was. The grain cloud smears it along its own path. REWIND and AFTERIMAGE hold reversed waves and stills at the place they were made.
SCAN is thirty seconds of memory with position: a grab brings a moment back from where the source stood, in time with the orbit. WEAR turns distance into age — wow, flutter, holes in the spectrum, noise.
RANDOM deals a new setting inside guardrails, FX DICE sets how far it reaches, and five throws stay on the stack. Four modulators, 72 presets, auto gain across the chain, and CORR, MONO and CLIP in the header so the stereo stays honest.
Free. Your hands are the controller.
An effects instrument you play with your hands. The camera sees them, a field of effects sits between them, and every move across it moves the sound. Film it with your phone and keep the take.
Get KINEVA →Open the plugin and the camera picks up both hands: the left plays the sound, the right the effects. Pinch to grab, tilt for pitch, shake a fist to roll a new sound. No app, no account.
Effects sit as names on the field. A hand moving across it moves the whole chain at once; grab a name to put it where you want it.
ROLL deals a new sound at the strength you choose. Nothing is lost: ‹ › walks back through every roll, and the library keeps what you want to keep.
Scan the code in the plugin and your phone films you with the field over the picture. Your hands keep playing, and REC captures a vertical reel with the plugin’s own sound, ready to save or share.
One window, laid out like a front panel. Every control sits where your hand expects it.
Hold REC and sing. Or reach back and keep the last few seconds HALO has already heard.
Freeze cuts the fragment loose from the input. Whatever you do next, it stays exactly as you caught it.
How far the transformation goes.
The tone of the source, from weight to air.
Diffusion. Echoes become a room.
Movement inside the echoes.
Lower resolution, noise, wow and flutter, all on one control.
Saturation inside the feedback loop, building with every repeat.
Five ways of pitching, not five tone colours.
Each one rewires the feedback path, so the difference grows with every repeat.
Clean and diffuse. Nothing in the way.
Deep wow and flutter, head bump, saturation that shapes the tail.
A bucket brigade: the longer the delay, the darker it gets. The noise breathes.
A disc turning in oil. Metallic, swirling, never quite still.
An early-eighties studio rack: three fixed taps, 12-bit grit.
A rotating drum into a tube stage. Repeats get warmer, not louder.
HALO is a plugin for your DAW. Everything above is its interface.
