Spectral Emergence

About

Spectral Emergence is a multi-effects plugin by Michael Norris. It is a set of 23 plug-ins that process audio in real time using spectral processing. The effects work on static audio files as well as live audio streams. Most of the plug-ins convert audio to the frequency domain with a Fast Fourier Transform, where sound can be smeared, blurred, granulated or frozen.

What it sounds like

Large FFT sizes can produce smooth, ethereal drone textures.
