Introducing BLEASS Peaks: The Playable Polyphonic Filter Is Here (MIDI Performance Revolution)

video upload by BLEASS

"Meet BLEASS Peaks, a new generation audio filter that turns traditional filtering into a fully playable performance instrument.

➡️ In Internal mode, you can shape the sound using up to 32 resonant peaks/notches.
➡️ In MIDI mode, the plug-in becomes a playable polyphonic filter, where MIDI notes control the filter frequency. You can run up to 8 filter voices at the same time.

This lets you play filter movement using MIDI notes or chords, shaping drum loops and synths in real time. You can create evolving filter patterns, rhythmic effects, and perform filtering like a musical instrument.

🎨 Additional tools include 5 FX slots (distortion, delay, compression, bitcrush, and filters), plus LFOs, envelopes, and macros.

Discover its full features right now: http://bleass.com/peaks/"

BLEASS Peaks unites classic audio filtering with the spontaneous spirit of performance to deliver an entirely new class of creative filtering effects.

The plugin is built around BLEASS’ advanced multi-peak polyphonic filter design. When set to Internal control mode, this creates a single bell-filter curve containing up to 32 resonant peaks/notches. Details of the filter curve, such as the quantity, root frequency, and spread of the peaks/notches, are set parametrically, making it easy to shape the filter’s response and bring it to life via the plugin’s synth-style modulation sources.

BLEASS Peaks truly comes into its own when operating in MIDI mode. In this configuration, the filter’s root frequency is controlled via MIDI coming from live-played notes or a recorded track. Better still, BLEASS Peaks can generate up to eight such filters simultaneously, making this a true polyphonic filter.

MIDI control makes the filter fully playable and performable, opening up a whole new constellation of original and compelling filtering effects. Drum loops can be tuned to follow chord progressions, rhythmic harmonic pulses can be added to pads, arpeggios can be brought to life with complex frequency-shifting chorus effects… the creative possibilities are endless.

Additional colour and detail can be added to Peaks’ filtering via a set of five assignable Effects slots. These allow you to enhance the filtered sound with distortions, dynamics processors, delay, and even conventional low- and high-pass filters.

As with the filter itself, Peaks’ effects can be brought to life by the plugin’s various modulation sources, with each modulator mappable to up to four destination parameters. There are three LFOs, three envelopes triggered by the incoming audio plus a fourth triggered via MIDI, and four Macro controls. Alongside these internal modulators, the plugin also recognises various realtime MIDI CC and MPE sources.

Used as a conventional single-voice filter, BLEASS Peaks is at the top of its game, allowing easy-yet-deep control over the spectrum of your audio, and offering many ways to inject life and movement into the effect. Enabling MIDI control makes that advanced filter behave as a playable instrument, unshackling you from the limitations of conventional filtering and giving you direct hands-on control over the effect.

However you choose to use it, BLEASS Peaks is a uniquely creative, intuitive and fun tool for shaping, colouring, and injecting originality into your music.

EP-133 KOII + BLEASS ARPEGGIATOR JAM

video upload by Perplex On

"Wouldn’t it be nice to have an arpeggiator on the #ep133koII ? Here i‘m using the wonderful #bleassarpeggiator to receive midi note input from the EP-133 and sending it arpeggiated right back to the device, super fun to play with! Added a pinch of #modnetic delay on top."

Ambient with Harmony Bloom

video upload by boxoftextures

"Well, in my head this was going be five minutes long and be kind of a quick demo of an ambient technique I figured out for making a Bloom-ish generative ambient setup but with "modern" apps in AUM. Bloom is an app by Brian Eno—well, two apps, really—that has various generative modes that you can interact with or just have them play on their own. And in an online discussion group I'm in someone was bummed that Bloom is "just" a standalone app and not AUv3 or Interapp Audio. So I thought about it for a bit and came up with a way to make something Bloom-ish.

So the original thought was five minutes or so of generative music that I could talk over and explain my methods. But I just couldn't "ruin" it by talking over the music, it was too jarring. So right off the bat it was twice as long as I'd originally intended. And then I set it going again, this time with a tiny bit of shimmered piano, and didn't talk over it again, so it kind of ended up four times as long as I'd wanted LOL. So please accept my apologies, and I'll see if I can organize it into chapters to make it easy to navigate.

Basically I'm using iSEM as my synth, driven by Harmony Bloom, and then going into Weeping Wall for a cascade of echoes and then into Eos 2 for some (as usual) incredibly lush reverb. And a Pianoteq Steinway going into BLEASS Shimmer in the second piece. Many more details in the video.

Elastic Melody "Midi Update" 1.1 Session featuring King of Digital & Bleass Megalit

video upload by Oliver Greschke

"This video is showcasing Elastic Melody's new Midi features: Elastic Melody is the used only Sequencer, Track 1 triggers a drumkit of King of Digital, Track 2 is playing the main melody and get's doubled with Bleass Megalit Synth (right speaker) to add some additional shiny heights. Additional effects by Bleass Delay & Reverb and Molly Looper."

"Elastic Melody is a standalone iOS application and AUv3 plugin with 3 channels of synthetic sounds, an analog style step sequencer and 4 master effects. Almost all parameters can be automated and thus changed in an „elastic way“. The focus of Elastic Melody is on a fast and intuitive creation of melodies with a basic analog sound. You can use Elastic Melody either as iOS Standalone app or as AUv3 plugin."

BLEASS Arpeggiator - 🎹 Hands-On Creative Arpeggiation 🎹

The focus of BLEASS Arpeggiator is creativity and experimentation. The plugin’s hands-on user interface is as intuitive and spontaneous to use as a classic subtractive synth, so varying and adapting arpeggios on-the-fly is an easy, fun and organic experience.

The plugin recognises incoming performance controllers, and includes a pair of XY pads (huge fun on iPad!), a pair of advanced LFOs and BLEASS’ signature Motion Sequencer. These can modulate the arpeggiator’s parameters, unlocking a deep level of creativity that’s simply not available from modern step-sequencer-style arpeggiators.

BLEASS Arpeggiator also offers a built-in sound generator. This is a cut-down yet great-sounding FM synth that’s perfect for creating the kinds of bright, sweet and punchy sounds that can work so well with an arpeggio line. You can of course use BLEASS Arpeggiator with any other synth too (see tutorials here), with each instance of the plugin creating its own MIDI source that can be bussed to any instrument within your project."

"BLEASS Fusion is a unique and powerful waveshaping tool that harnesses the limitless flexibility of wavetables to unleash sumptuously smooth saturations, disgracefully dirty distortions, and maximally mad mashups.

BLEASS has designed Fusion to be one of the – if not the – most versatile and adaptable distortion and saturation plugins available today, able to completely change its entire tone and character in an instant. The magic comes from the way in which wavetables define the sonic results of processing, and so empower the plugin with the versatility to satisfy your every sonically-destructive whim.

Whether you want to spice-up your audio with the lightest sprinkle of sizzle, smother it in a luxuriant fluffy blanket, or shatter it into fractured shards, BLEASS Fusion provides the perfect waveshaping weaponry for the job. And should you find that the 58 included wavetables don’t quite fulfil your distortion dreams, importing your own custom wavetables is simply a matter of dropping a file into a folder.

A pair of multi-mode resonant filters allow BLEASS Fusion to focus its fury on particular frequencies, or can be used to tame its more extreme excesses. And with a full complement of modulators that add movement and dynamism to your sound, a huge palette of expressive, rhythmic and evolving distortions are just waiting to be explored."
