Applied Acoustics Systems Chromaphone 3 v3.1.3 macOS-K'd screenshot
macOS | 10 March 2024 | 153 MB
A MIND-BLOWING SONIC PALETTE
Creative synthesis with real-life acoustic character.

WHAT’S NEW
We have streamlined Chromaphone and brought it to a whole new level.

NEW Home view
With macros mapped to key sound characteristics—modulation, timbre, envelope, and effect—the Home view presents a distraction free and laidback browsing and tweaking experience.

NEW Two-voice multitimbral
Chromaphone 3 combines two independent timbres—stacked or split—to create performance-friendly, texture-full, and spacious sounds that are sure to make a good impression.

NEW Factory Library​
Chromaphone 3 ships with a completely new factory library of 421 sounds created by top sound designers. Michel Basque, Christian Halten, Jerry Kovarsky, Christian Laffitte, Niall McCallum, Adam Pietruszko, Daniel Stawczyk, Sean Divine, and Venus Theory form an incredible team that made the most of the latest Chromaphone 3 features. It’s with great pride that we present these new signature sounds.

REMASTERED Chromaphone 2 library
A long and fastidious process of fine-tuning went down in the AAS quarters. Each and every sound of the legacy Chromaphone 2 library went under the eyes of the AAS team members. They now boast a consistent gain-stage, unity-gain effects, better dynamics, and compelling real-time sound transformation assignments to take advantage of the new features of Chromaphone 3. That’s an extra 676 solid sounds in your hands.

NEW Browser
With Packs, Sounds, Categories, and Creators views, Chromaphone 3’s brand-new browser offers an efficient way to home in on the sounds you’re looking for.

NEW Macros
Chromaphone 3 now boasts four performance macros per layer that respond to user-defined MIDI controls. Each and every sound features modulation, timbre, envelope, and effect morphing assignments that can be played in real time for enhanced expressivity and sonic dimension.

IMPROVED Microtonal tunings via Scala scale files
Chromaphone 3 now supports the Scala scale file format as well as reference note frequency tuning for microtonal music making.

NEAT Compatible with Chromaphone 2 sounds
Simply copy Chromaphone 2 banks in Chromaphone 3’s packs folder to convert them.

EXPANDED Multi-Effects Module
Chromaphone 3’s multi-effects module now sports reverb, equalizer, compressor, tremolo, and guitar amplifier processors for even more completeness. Furthermore, the five effect slots can be re-arranged in any order.

No sound here. M1 Native or Rosetta. demo has sound.

Also had the no sound issue - found that the software also leaves info in $HOME / lib / application support /aas etc. so make sure you delete that too if you have this problem. Likely only if you previously installed an earlier version of the software or chromaphone 2 possibly. Cheers

Thx for the information! Any1 can specifiy the data type/filename? Delete after installing C3 on top of Chromaph.2?
Thx 2 everyone in here supporting us with all the great tools!

If you're hitting the no sound issue then uninstall (using their uninstaller) and then go to $HOME/Library/Application Support/Applied Acoustic Systems and delete Chromaphone 3.txt which is in the Configuration/Keys directory underneath there. Then also delete the Chromaphone 3 directory in that directory and re-install and patch and you'll be fine 👊

Tested on Intel/Sonoma 14.3.1 and it's working great. Read instructions carefully. Even AAX works.

He must be, he's posted the same question on all these new AAS plugs. Dude... You're an obvious newb and everyone has been ignoring you. But asked for cross platform releases is considered taboo here.

omg yes, I've been waiting for this release as well as Objeq Delay for so long. Sadly it's still too expensive, even when it's on sale. Luckily now there's plenty of opportunity to try it out and gauge its worth before finally purchasing it :)

Works flawlessly on macOS Sonoma 14.1 (M1 Pro) so far.

Thanks GonBi!

Hi, no sound on M1, Sonoma 14.2.1.
I can not open the uninstall file. Why could that be?

I deleted the text file and the directory but when I re-open they are created there again.

Step 3 in the instalation with Terminal is also not helping. But I dn if I am doing that step right or if it is needed. I get the respond: zsh: parse error near `\n'
Should all text just be past including: "<drag here>" or should something actually be draged? I Also tried to run the thre rows one by one without that <drag here> and I get a another outcome but still did not change any thing.

Anyone that could unfold the peices here please and I am very thankfull.
Also waited for years on this so I am very pleased!

use something like permission reset its easier https://ohanaware.com/permissionsreset/

For me Object delay & chromaphone 3 worked intel sierra here, but today kinda timebombed, no sound on both??
Thx 2 everyone in here supporting us with all the great tools!

Unfortunately yes I am encountering timebomb as well :(
  Resident 4.02.2012 2 415

Yup! Timebombed!

EDIT: I don't think it's a timebomb. Well it depends on the definition...:

I've done some testing, and it makes me think these latest AAS releases are actually running in demo mode or trial mode, modded to have the nag screens removed by the patch so they seem to work. But only for 14 days or so. I actually found a way to "reset" them/make them un-quiet again. BUT you wont be able to recall plugin settings in your DAW after this. It seems that when in demo mode, the string from the keyfile (the one you can remove to reset the trial) is somehow saved into your project/plugin settings. So since the key generated the first time (that also contains trial activation date info) is unique, it won't match with the previous one saved into your presets or projects, if you delete the key file.

The result is that you get the sound back that had gone silent. But it will be the default preset that loads up in your project.

So yeah. Hope some reverse-guru know how to deal with these plugins as I miss them much.

Cheers.

Instructions are not so clear...

For example: sudo chmod a+x <drag here>

What am I suppose to 'drag here' ?

the file path. Best is also to just use a software like "permission reset" tbh
