Bresley Audio Software Suite

Music apps and plugins for macOS. Coming soon.

BresleyFX icon

BresleyFX

app and VST3

A pedalboard of effects for keys, guitar, bass and the mix: drives, amps and cabinets, compressors, modulation, delays and reverbs, each a card with the original's controls, in a chain you build. Meters, a scope and a spectrum show what each device does. A standalone app that plays your instrument live, and a VST3 plugin.

A console for playing live with a band: each strip takes an instrument or an input, plays it through its own BresleyFX pedalboard and sends it to an output, with two sends and a mix bus. A whole band's setup saves as one set, and BresleyHarmony can listen in and name the chords.

BresleyPoly icon

BresleyPoly

app and VST3

A virtual analog polysynth of up to sixteen voices: two oscillators and a sample, two filters in series or parallel, envelopes and LFOs on a modulation matrix, and an arpeggiator with rhythms. Every control sits on one page, with the deeper settings a tab away. A VST3 plugin and a standalone app.

BresleyMono icon

BresleyMono

app and VST3

A monophonic analog-style synthesizer: three oscillators, a multimode filter into a low-pass with several classic ladder types, drive and feedback, and an audio input into both. Glide, accents and legato as on the old monosynths, an arpeggiator and a step sequencer with slide. A standalone app and a VST3.

BresleyDrums icon

BresleyDrums

app and VST3

A drum machine of sixteen synthesized voices, from analog circuits to FM, wavefolding and modelled drums. Find a sound on a map of sounds, tune it on its pad's page, and play it from MIDI or the step grid. Each pad has its own output in a VST3 host, beside the main mix.

BresleySpaghetti

app and VST3

Put modules in a rack and patch them with cables: any output into any input, every control input with its own attenuverter. Start from an empty rack with audio and MIDI in, and build the instrument as you go.

BresleyKeys icon

BresleyKeys Preview

app

Play a reed or tine electric piano built from a model of how the real ones make their sound, so it bites when you dig in and goes soft when you don't. An organ and a string ensemble join them, early versions still in progress.

BresleyManifold icon

BresleyManifold

app and VST3

An eight-voice synth of two complex oscillators, each bending a carrier with through-zero FM and folding it, then shaping it with low-pass gates that close darker as they close quieter. A map shows where each tone starts and where it settles; four macros, the wheel and pressure move it. A standalone app and a VST3 instrument.

BresleyEvolver icon

BresleyEvolver Preview

app and VST3

Pick a mood and a key, and Evolver writes three parts that develop as they play. Steer them as they go, and send each part to Mono, Poly or a synth in your DAW.
