an ambient, spatial reverb — built on two layers, not one
A wide, continuous stereo wash — the sky — paints long, open tails with movement in them. Over it, a set of small binaural events — the stars — sit at real directions around your head. As you play, the stars answer your notes and flash exactly where you hear them; a spark on the right really is on your right. They can reply at once or hold back, free or locked to the host tempo, so the answers fall into the gaps between your phrases.
Two-layer engine — a dense stereo sky plus binaural 3D stars, decoupled from the tail
Stars that react to your playing, with a tempo-synced or free response delay
Eight factory presets, each a distinct space — Overcast, Clear, Sky Opening, Cirrus, Aurora, Storm, Vocal Sky, Cinematic Overcast
A/B compare, your own saved presets and favorites, and a freely resizable window
Headphones mode for full binaural placement; speaker mode for a wide, mono-safe fold
macOS VST3 & Audio Unit, Windows VST3 — free, with no time limit
