Turn any sound into lush pads, frozen textures, or drifting spectral motion with this multi-curve spectral blur and freeze effect.
MagicBlur is a multi-curve spectral blur and freeze processor designed for transforming audio into pads, overtone glissandi, reversed textures, and glitch-like movements. Apply separate blur times per frequency or frequency range, then mix, modulate, and spread them to explore anything from subtle, washed-out ambience to extreme spectral experimentation.
Incoming audio is analyzed into fast-moving spectral frames, each representing the frequency content of a small slice of sound. Instead of playing every frame in sequence, MagicBlur lets you pick frames at defined intervals and morph smoothly toward the next one. The Blur Time sets how gradually frequencies transition — and because MagicBlur supports independent blur times per frequency, you can shape different parts of the spectrum with fine-grained control.
Disable morphing to create a spectral freeze, holding each frame until the next is selected. Reverse the morph direction, apply envelopes, or shift pitch to create evolving drones and unique spectral transitions. Combined with MagicBlur’s modulation system, these tools unlock a wide range of expressive and experimental sound design possibilities.
Our modulation system lets you modulate any parameter with ease and precision, including individual depth control per parameter. Each modulator offers skew, sample & hold, and uni-/bipolar modes.
Choose from LFOs, Random Generators, custom-drawn LFOs, and a full suite of followers — from Amp and Pitch to advanced Spectral Followers like Brightness. Need more dimensions? Explore 2D modulators such as 2D LFO, 2D Random, Strange Attractors, and the Double Pendulum for truly chaotic motion. On iOS, 3D Motion lets you control parameters via the device’s gyroscope and accelerometer.
And if that’s not enough, you can dive into the world of Cross Modulation by expanding the system even further — using modulators to modulate the parameters of other modulators. Sounds complicated? It’s not! The concept is simple, but the possibilities are endless!

RotationThe ultimate solution for precise audio parameter control across frequencies. Imagine it as an EQ, except instead of adjusting volume for each frequency, the curve wields its power over another parameter such as delay time or pitch shift - pure Magic!
Designed with user-friendliness in mind, the Curve Editor makes it easy for both beginners and professionals to navigate. Copy, invert, or randomise curves instantly. Work with up to 4 input curves and morph them in real time via the dynamic XY Pad.
But that’s not all. Our CurveModifier adds advanced stereo control, letting you invert, shift, and skew curves in stereo for deeper spatial shaping. Sync curves to BPM with a single click, and modulate any parameter using the built-in modulation system.
