Description: SonicMood bathes you in gentle tones played by selected instruments to calm and relax you while you work. It's like 'Mood Chimes', notes which sound as if produced by chimes blown by the wind. The patterns never repeat and are gentle, harmonious, and soothing. There are 28 different sets of 'chimes' using different instruments, including bells, crystals, kalimbas, glockenspiels, violins, and many others. Audio files of nature sounds can be added to each mood. You can create your own moods or edit the 28 existing moods. You won't find anything like this on a CD...What's new in this version:Fixed a bug that caused a crash if a Mood is dragged to a new position in the Moods list. 

Fixed a bug that fails to enable the soundfile controls (play/pause time, volume, pan) when a soundfile is selected (checked) in the "Mood Info/Edit" window soundfile list, if editing a Mood that's not the one currently playing. 

Fixed a bug that caused an "Out of Bounds Error" under certain conditions when a soundfile wa...

Description: HyperDither is an OS X image processing utility that converts color or grayscale images to 1 bit black & white using a sophisticated dithering routine. Specifically, HyperDither implements the "Atkinson" dithering filter.Years ago, during the development of the first Macintosh, Bill Atkinson (of HyperCard, QuickDraw, MacPaint & now nature photography fame) discovered a very elegant dithering filter to convert greyscale image data for the 1 bit black & white Mac video display. The dithering produced by this routine was much higher quality than the now-a-days ubiquitous Floyd-Steinberg or "Error-diffusion"ВЂВќ filter (used by QuickTime, Photoshop).The dither routine was implemented as an option in Apple's long-gone HyperScan software (A HyperCard stack with some XCMDs/XFCNs) that would connect an early Mac to a flatbed scanner. HyperScan, and hence the most-excellent Atkinson dithering routine, has been unavailable for many, many years - but not forgotten! I was able to email Bill Atkinson in January, 2003 ...

Description: ChatterBlocker uses digital audio technology to mask the sound of speech and other distractions so you can stay focused.ChatterBlocker does not use noise-cancellation. Instead, it masks unwanted conversations with a soothing blend of nature sounds, music and background chatter. The goal is to render speech less intelligible, because intelligible speech is often the most distracting sound in the workplace.ChatterBlocker also offers mindfulness meditation tracks intended to increase concentration, reduce distractibility and minimize the stress response to office noise.Use ChatterBlocker to tune out disruptions and increase concentration at the office, airports, cafes or anywhere.

Description: It has long been known that Tinnitus is not caused by sounds originating in the ear. Recent innovations in medical imaging techniques have made it possible to show that Tinnitus sounds are generated by activity in the auditory neural system in the brain. However, the exact nature and cause of this activity has not yet been determined.The striking similarities between the Tinnitus sounds and the sounds produced by positive feedback in electronic circuits suggest that Tinnitus is caused by positive feedback between neurons in the sound-processing portion of the brain.All learning takes place by weakening some and strengthening other axon connections in the brain.The TinnitusTamer uses sequences of special sounds and silent periods. When you listen to these sounds they retrain the neural networks in your brain by first weakening, and then eliminating the positive feedback that creates the Tinnitus.Thus, the TinnitusTamer uses the resources of your own body to take care of the Tinnitus in a natural way.

Description: Engineered For Flexibilitymodo was engineered to meet the challenges of the increasing demands of film, gaming, television, print and many other markets. modo combines a highly advanced real-time subdivision surface engine, fast, flexible and extensible modeling tools, and one of the most innovative and flexible user interfaces ever created. Due to the flexible nature of the modo toolset and interface, modo is excellent for creating models of any type. From organics to hard surfaces, from high-resolution film models to low-resolution real-time meshes, modo has the tools you need.Built For Artistsmodo was created to fill a void in the production world. Today's 3D modelers require a much more robust set of modeling tools, within a real-time environment, designed specifically for manipulating subdivision surfaces. modo delivers this toolset in an architecture that is designed with expansion in mind. This allows artists to create more detailed models, in an interactive environment, in a shorter timeline. modo's customizable nature allows these advanced artists to sculpt the toolset to their production requirements so that productivity can jump to new levels once the artist is fully established in the modo environment.
