Spectral Blurring

About

Spectral Blurring is a multi-effects plugin by Michael Norris. It processes audio in real time, from static audio files or live audio streams. Most plug-ins in the suite convert audio to the frequency domain with an FFT algorithm, where sound can be smeared, blurred, granulated or frozen.

What it sounds like

Large FFT sizes can produce smooth, ethereal drone textures.
