MOD·05 / Spectral

HORIZON

Spectral freeze with a pulse. Capture an instant and hold it — then re-trigger it to the beat. From an eternal pad to a rhythmic stutter.

// What it'll be

Where time stops — and pulses.

HORIZON captures a single spectral frame and holds it — but the freeze isn't static. With RATE off it's a sustained pad; raise RATE — and especially with SYNC — and the same instant gates to the beat as a rhythmic stutter. One gesture suspends a moment; one knob makes it groove.

Freeze

The central gesture. Hit it and the instant under your cursor is captured and held — a latch you can automate.

Rate / Sync

The re-trigger of the freeze. Off = a sustained pad; fast — and locked to tempo (1/16–2 bars) — = a rhythmic stutter that beats with the track.

Whisper

Phase coherence vs randomization: from glassy and tonal (clean by default) to diffuse and airy whisperization.

Spread

De-correlates the freeze across the field — centred to fully spread, constant-power, so it stays mono-safe.

Duck

The frozen wet steps back when the dry hits and returns in the gaps — the freeze breathes with the performance.

Mix · In Phase

Dry/wet blend so you can freeze under the live audio. IN PHASE folds the wide freeze to mono-safe in one click.
