Step by step
Choose a sound
Tap the color swatch and choose a named sound in Colors. If you choose a weave instead, editing its sound character requires the unlock.
Open Controls
Choose Controls in the sound panel. Set a comfortable Volume, press Play, and find the Soften slider below the timer settings.
Adjust Soften
Move Soften up to reduce more of the brighter, higher frequencies. Move it back down for less softening. It changes the character of the sound; it is separate from overall Volume.
Add a gentle pulse
Turn on Pulse. Adjust Pulse strength for the amount of volume movement and Cycle length for its speed. A cycle can last from 4 to 30 seconds. Turn Pulse off for a steady level.
Try one change at a time
Start with Brown, add a little Soften, then switch Pulse on at a low strength. A longer cycle makes the rise and fall slower. There is no required setting: choose what feels comfortable on your speakers or headphones. Saving a favorite keeps these character settings with the sound.
If something looks different
Where did Pulse strength go?
Pulse strength and Cycle length appear only while Pulse is on.
Why does the app offer an unlock here?
You are editing a weave. Choose a solo color for free character controls, or use the full unlock for mixes.
