BEAT-N-PATH is a harmonic catch gate for macOS: the original hit passes through dry while up to 999 harmonics of the sound wait behind a gate, then glide into pitch on their own path, turning a drum hit or any transient into a tuned chord. Controls shape how the harmonics ring, bend and decay, plus a reverb tail for the harmonics only.

About BEAT-N-PATH

BEAT-N-PATH turns percussive hits into pitched, ringing tones. The dry hit goes straight through, while the harmonics of the sound, up to 20 kHz, are held back by a gate and then slide into a set pitch, so a kick or snare can land as a chord.

Catch sets how long the harmonics wait and Path sets the order they arrive in: rise, fall, scatter or a drawn curve. The Ball section shapes the ringing part with ring, tilt, odd/even balance and hand-drawn levels per harmonic. Pitch can be fixed, follow the input, or be played from MIDI. The Bar works like a whammy bar for bends, drops and glides back home.

Thud and Body Cut keep the original hit punchy and dry, and Air adds a reverb tail to the harmonics only. A Threshold control with an input meter decides which hits trigger it, and the standalone app can load your own audio files.
