Read moreHyperstellar FX
Hold a moment of sound. Let it drift forever.
Press FREEZE and the last seconds of your input become a living, endless layer — not a loop, but a spectral tail that keeps breathing. Stack four of them, let ORBIT play them in time with your song, and shape everything with reverb, delay and the sound of water.
Four freeze layers
Each with its own level, drift and pan. Layer them over the dry signal or replace it.
ORBIT sequencer
Steps through the four layers in time with your host — or on every new note you play.
Shimmer, delay, AQUA
Lush shimmer reverb and delay, plus an underwater wobble.
Deep modulation
4 LFOs, 4 drawable envelopes, input level & pitch followers and a mod matrix.
Live processing of the waterphone the way I had always wanted.

About
From the workshop to your DAW
I have been making and playing musical instruments for over 20 years — drums, xylophones, kalimbas, edge-blown flutes like the ney and kaval, and above all waterphones, which I build by hand.
I have also always been a programmer: from the 8-bit Atari and the Amiga 500 to a master's degree in computer science. Soundyan is where the two meet — plugins that carry the real sound of real instruments, recorded with great sound engineers.
20+ years of instrument making
Hand-made waterphones for Jean-Michel Jarre, Evelyn Glennie and the Los Angeles Philharmonic
