Make your sounds punch through your mixes with MIYA from Dear Reality, a harmonic distortion plug-in that allows you to sculpt your sounds like a synthesizer. With adjustable harmonics and resynthesis of audio signals, you can give sounds more texture or add glitched-out distortion, all without adding gain.

This plug-in is available in AAX, AU, and VST3 formats for macOS and Windows computers.

For Music, TV, and Film Postproduction    Resynthesize Audio with Harmonics    Subtle Texture to Massive Distortion    Cut Through the Mix Without Gain    Real-Time Sonic Visualizer    Gate, Boost, and Threshold Controls    Zero-Crossing Detection Control    Low- and High-Pass Filters    Duty Cycle Adds Harmonics to Harmonics    AAX, AU, and VST3, macOS and Windows

MIYA provides immediate visual feedback over your sound using four different colors. The orange vertical line indicates the detected zero crossings, while the grey line shows the original incoming signal. The blue line plots the generated signal, and the green line visualizes the output from the plug-in, which consists of a mix of wet and dry signals.

Adjust Skip and the Minimum Length of the wavelets and skip zero crossings. The longer the wavelet, the lower the synthesized tone. Use Minimum Length to create unique resonances by discarding the detected zero crossings based on the set time in microseconds.

Use the sliders to precisely set the harmonics and subharmonics within an additively synthesized signal that lets your sounds stand out. MIYA offers you a variety of harmonics ranging from the 1st up to 5th harmonic. Adjust the length of the wavelet in time with Duty Cycle.

Use MIYA's internal gate to eliminate quieter sounds (e.g., background noise) or emphasize the original signal's rhythmic aspects. Furthermore, MIYA enables you to boost the signal generated by the additive synthesizer based on the amplitude of the initially detected wavelet using the Boost parameter. Use the low- and high-pass filters to adjust the frequency range of the generated signal.

MIYA lets you adjust the dry and wet signal ratio to blend the input signal with your newly generated signal. Using the output level, you can adjust the overall level of your output signal.

Q: 4. Do you have the version with two locking mini plugs for the Sony dual channel receiver? I can't find it anywhere.

A: There currently is no cable sold separately with two locking 3.5mm connectors. Out of the Sony duel receiver you either would, connect two cables terminating in Male XLR or 3.5mm, depending on your input device.

Q: 5. Which end has the lock, and how long is the cable?

A: The straight end is the one that had the lock on the one that I got.

Q: 6. Where does the light come out? How does one keep it out of The eyes? This does not look safe.

A: The light would be downward facing, the only way one would keep this out of eyes is by aiming it effectively at the areas you would like to apply it towards.

Q: 7. What letters does this support?

A: Please know you MUST also have the Apple 12W USB Power Adapter (used for iPads but can be bought separate $19). This 12W adapter pulls apart, then you attached your Apple Travel Adapter (i.e., attach the UK to the 12W and you can now charge quickly iPhone or iPad). The Travel Adapter countries are N.America, Japan, China, United Kingdom, Continental Europe, Korea, Australia, Hong Kong & Brazil. The Travel Adapter counties are noted inside the backside concave area of adapter (KOR or EUR) and hard to read without a magnifier. Product works great. If I know the country your visiting, then I can get you the A,B,C,I G or N number.

Q: 8. Will the C2G 98045 work with the AAXA Technologies M5 900-Lumen WXGA LED Pico Projector that I bought from you last year? If not, what will?

A: Unfortunately the AAXA Technologies M5 900-Lumen WXGA does not support external infrared remote extenders for control of the projector's functions. The best available option would be the included remote control.

Q: 9. Can these work with Canon RF to EF Adapter too?

A: The DZOFilm Catta Coin Plug-in Filter for Catta Zoom (Artistic Set) is made specifically for the Catta Zoom lenses with E/RF/L/X/Z mounts and not to be used with lens adapters.

Q: 10. I want to use a couple of Lectrosonics M-150 lavs as hard-wired backups to my normal gear. The stated compatible models are: Lectrosonics HM, UH400 and UH400a. M-150 uses a 5 pin female TA5 so will it also work with this adapter?

A: The MCA5X will work with all Lectrosonics mics wired with a 5 pin female (TA5) connector, however it is designed for use with their Plug On transmitters only. It will NOT work when connected to a microphone input on a mixer or a recorder.
