Multi-band splits frequencies.
TONIQ splits notes.
The first stereo imager that detects the individual notes you're playing and places each one in the stereo field — fundamental and harmonics together. Real width on a mono guitar. No phase tricks. Survives mono.

Every other widener has the same blind spot.
Stereo wideners, multiband processors, Haas delays, chorus doublers — they all push frequencies around. But music isn't frequencies. It's notes. And a single note is a fundamental plus a stack of harmonics across the spectrum. Split by frequency band and you cut straight through your notes — scattering one note's harmonics across different sides of the field. That's the hollow, phasey sound. It's why widened guitars collapse the moment your mix folds to mono.
Process notes, not frequencies.
TONIQ works in notes. It treats each note — fundamental and all its harmonics — as a single musical object, and places that whole object in the stereo field. Nothing gets torn apart. So the width sounds like a real stereo recording, and it folds to mono cleanly — because the processing was never fighting the music.
Real-time polyphonic detection
Detects the notes you play as you play them — 6+ at once, continuously, not offline.
Per-note panning
PAN, HARD and WIDTH for each detected note. Spread a chord across the room, note by note.
Zone FX
Independent EQ, reverb and delay per Low / Mid / High note range — whole notes, not frequency slices.
Phase-safe & mono-compatible
Amplitude only — no Haas, no chorus, no comb-filtering. Fold to mono and it holds.
TONIQ is a mixing & production tool. It adds latency (256 ms, delay-compensated) — for recording and mixing, not live monitoring.

Does it work in mono?
Yes — that's the point. TONIQ keeps each note whole, so when you fold to mono there's no comb-filtering and nothing drops out. Check it yourself with the demo's mono-fold toggle above.
What's the latency? Can I play live through it?
TONIQ adds 256 ms of latency (fully delay-compensated in your DAW). It's a mixing and production tool — perfect for tracks you're recording or mixing, not for live monitoring or performance.
What instruments does it work on?
Built for guitar first, but it works on any polyphonic source — keys, synths, and more. Mono input creates stereo; stereo input gets re-imagined note by note.
Is this like Melodyne?
No. Melodyne is an offline editor. TONIQ runs continuously inside your DAW as the track plays — you're processing the performance, not editing it note by note.
Formats & systems?
AU, VST3 and AAX (Pro Tools), on macOS 11+ (Apple Silicon & Intel) and Windows 10+.
Subscription?
Never. One payment, yours forever, free 1.x updates.
