Barycenter FX

Four effects. One orb.

Barycenter FX holds up to four of your own effects side by side and blends them with one orb on a pad. Drag the orb toward a corner and that effect takes over; anywhere between, you hear all of them in proportion. Every effect keeps running, so reverb tails and delays carry on as the orb moves.

Holds up to four of your effects: VST3, and Audio Units on the Mac
Drag one orb to blend them; double-click to put it back in the middle
One effect blends with the dry signal; two make a line, three a triangle, four a square
Your DAW automates the orb as two parameters, Orb X and Orb Y
Every effect keeps running, so tails carry on as the orb moves
Effects of different latency stay lined up, and your DAW compensates for the slowest
Each effect opens in its own window; bypass, replace or remove it from its card
Your project keeps the effects, their settings and the orb

Interactive preview: drag the orb, or double-click the pad to put it back in the middle. The four effects are examples: Barycenter FX blends the ones you already own.

Morph from Blazar Core, in your DAW

Blazar Core, Alex’s DAW, has Morph: an insert that holds up to four effects and blends them as you drag one orb across a pad. Barycenter FX brings Morph to your DAW, with the same code, so it sounds exactly the same.

The name comes from the orb: it sits at the barycenter, the balance point, of the effects around it.

Load up to four of your effects and blend them by moving one orb. Your DAW records the orb, so a sound can travel between four effects across a cue.

Before you buy

What you need: A DAW that hosts VST3 plugins, on Windows or the Mac, or Audio Units on the Mac. Barycenter FX blends the effects you already have: it adds no effects of its own.
Not supported yet: Pro Tools (AAX) and CLAP.
The first time you open it: A plugin can’t read its DAW’s plugin list, so Barycenter FX makes its own. Plugins that describe themselves appear at once; for the rest, click Scan in Barycenter’s plugin list once. Each plugin is looked at in a separate helper process, so a plugin that crashes can’t take your DAW down. Some plugins show their own activation window while they are scanned: that window is theirs.
The license key: Barycenter FX opens on its key panel until you enter the key from your receipt: paste it, or drop the key file onto the window. Until then, your project and every setting stay as they are, and the sound passes through unchanged. The key is checked on your computer; nothing is sent online.
