Spectral Pulsing

About

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

What it sounds like

Large FFT sizes can produce smooth, ethereal drone textures.
