Introduction film
A seventeen-second orbital descent: one form crosses a field of sound, enters the atmosphere and arrives on Earth.
Effects
ÆON separates position from identity. Move through a continuous sound field, then bring another Face forward to select its glyph effect. The two layers remain independent and combine at every point: eleven effects, one VOID state, and a different response across the field.
Layer 01
Move away from the neutral centre to reveal four cardinal transformations. Corners continuously blend their two neighbouring directions.
Layer 02
Rotate a different glyph to the front to change the effect identity. The selected Face acts on the current position rather than replacing it.
The centre is neutral. Each edge reveals one core transformation; each corner is a continuous blend, not a hidden preset.
Bright granular fragments meet tempo-locked reverse splices in a continuous blend of fracture and recall.
Scatters recent sound into bright grains and sparks, with occasional reverse motion.
Pairs bright granular fracture with staggered pitch-time planes; the deepest band remains outside the shifted layer.
Recalls recent sound through tempo-locked reverse splices, widened and gently cross-fed between channels.
Keeps the Position layer neutral, passing the source unchanged into the selected Face.
Separates body, presence and air into staggered pitch-time planes, leaving the deepest band outside the shifted residual.
Tempo-locked reverse splices meet Present and Ghost cells, blending backward motion with half- and double-time turns.
Rewrites recent sound into tempo-aware Present and Ghost cells, adapting between a 3–3–2 ritual and fractured call-and-response.
Ghost Grid recomposes the core while staggered spectral planes remain active, pairing rhythmic weight with prismatic motion.
Move continuously through the field: each edge emerges gradually, while every corner combines its two neighbouring directions rather than switching to a separate preset.
Every Face carries one effect identity and one matching glyph. VOID removes only Face-local colour; the position field and global finish remain active.
Face 00
No Face-local coloration. VOID lets the position field and global finish speak on their own.
Face 01
Two warmed temporal shadows drift away from the source—one falling, one returning—without becoming a conventional chorus.
Face 02
Captures short upper-band fragments and releases finite, tempo-linked repeat fans. Accented events replace one ray with an octave flash and brief crystalline dust.
Face 03
A stable bit-reduced core interrupted by a deterministic cycle of brownouts, clock slips, latches and arc flashes.
Face 04
Softens attacks and diffuses the body into a controlled stereo haze with a dark, deterministic tail.
Face 05
Keeps the low band centred while mids and highs travel on separate equal-power orbits.
Face 06
Recent sound returns as nested, tempo-aware reverse reflections—each smaller, darker and lower than the last.
Face 07
A short-memory micro-pitch and frequency-shift matrix makes the upper body metallic and unstable while protecting source pitch and low foundation.
Face 08
Builds dense, glassy pressure around a protected low core, with body-preserving saturation and a subtle molten pitch sag above it.
Face 09
Applies the exact 432/440 proportional retune: a subtle downward calibration, without wellness or mystical claims.
Face 10
After each attack, pitch and time fall inward as low-mid mass gathers, highs darken and the stereo field contracts.
Face 11
Past material accelerates toward the present as delay collapses, creating a converging smear and causal ghost—not reverse playback.
The browser preview is built from the current ÆON Face and position processors and runs at a fixed 128 BPM. Its single drag demonstrates both layers together; inside the plug-in, Position and Face selection remain independent.
FAQ
Practical starting points, the architecture behind the gesture, and a few details hidden beneath the surface.
No. Position is a continuous field: you can stop anywhere between the neutral centre and the four cardinal transformations. Turning a new glyph to the front changes the Face identity, which is then applied to the current position.
VOID removes only Face-local processing. The Position field, Output Polish and final safety remain active. Your host's bypass is the separate transparent path.
Try a pluck or drum loop to reveal fracture and grid timing; a vocal or guitar for reverse and temporal contours; a pad for orbit, fog, gravity and retuning. ÆON reshapes whatever source you place before it.
Several rhythmic systems—including Reverse Recall, Ghost Grid, Prism Veil, Bit Halo and Mirror Fold—follow host tempo and transport. Others are deliberately independent: Orbit Pan runs on its own motion, while 432Hz always applies the same ratio.
Its programmed schedules and event variation are deterministic. Complexity comes from the source, the continuous Position blend and the selected Face rather than uncontrolled random glitches.
Your DAW sees one ÆON-owned automatable parameter: the macro, which follows the horizontal coordinate. Vertical position and the selected Face are stored privately with the project and restored when it is reopened.
The preview runs the current core Face and Position processors at a fixed 128 BPM using bundled Piano, Pluck and Pad recordings. Audio is processed locally in your browser; it does not request microphone access or upload a recording.
Latency describes how soon output begins; tail describes how long stored sound can continue. ÆON reports zero samples of plug-in latency and a conservative five-second tail so reverse, diffusion and other temporal processes are not cut short.
It shifts the Face core by the exact ratio 432/440—about −31.77 cents. It does not detect the key or retune notes individually, and it carries no medical, wellness or mystical claim.
