Resonance Studio — a tone, beat and noise studio (Gnaural Web)

Binaural beats, monaural beats, isochronic pulses and noise beds, with 124 ready sessions in 18 packs and a real schedule editor — a browser re-implementation of Gnaural's scheduling engine and .gnaural format, written for moddys.net. This repository holds the Windows desktop build and its corresponding source.

Designed, built and maintained by Modtech (a.k.a. Moddy).

• Live app: https://moddys.net/resonance/ (free, in the browser — runs entirely in the page)
• Windows app: the 1.0a beta — download the installer from moddys.net/moddys-downloads.html or Releases; each build ships with its corresponding source.
• GitHub: https://github.com/ModdySwag
• Correspondence: [email protected]
• Gnaural Web port: GPL-2.0-or-later, with the engine (engine.js) under LGPL-2.1-or-later (see COPYING and COPYING.LESSER). Gnaural is © Bret Logan and contributors; this port is an independent re-implementation and is not affiliated with the upstream project.

Nothing here is uploaded or tracked: every export, save and share link is made locally. The network is only touched when you follow a link.

What it does

• Six voice types. Binaural pairs (two tones, one per ear), monaural beats (two tones in both ears, beating in the room), isochronic pulses (one carrier switched on and off — speaker-friendly), and pink, brown and white noise beds. Stack any of them.
• Ramps, not switches. Every value — volume, carrier, rate — glides into the next entry's value, and the last entry wraps to the first. Sessions can be minutes or hours; a rate can slide from 4 to 12 Hz over an hour, a bed can fade in under a voice.
• Library: 124 sessions, 18 packs. Classic sessions, seven waves of focus layouts, sleep and nap sets, extended tours, deeper focus levels, a headphone-free speaker pack, and sets built from published physiological numbers — all original, all editable. Every pack is also downloadable as a .zip for the desktop Gnaural or any other tool.
• Playback built for long listening. A session timer that stops cleanly (optional one-minute fade), looping, master volume, a stop-and-mute panic button, and a breathing pacer for slow paced breathing at six a minute.
• Reader and writer. Opens .gnaural files from the desktop Gnaural, writes them back out, imports whole packs from .zip, and renders any schedule to a WAV file — all without leaving the page (or the app).
• Visualizers. A phase-exact visualizer system for the page flanks (or inline cards on narrow windows): choose a backdrop and overlays; the isochronic gate, the binaural beat and each carrier are recomputed from the session itself, not guessed from the sound. Luminance is capped for motion safety, and the panel respects prefers-reduced-motion — and the master switch persists.
• Share links carry whole sessions. A schedule you built can be copied as a link that contains the session itself — no server, no account. In the Windows build the link points at moddys.net, so it opens for anyone.

Windows build (this repository)

The desktop app is the same code as the site — frozen, byte for byte — wrapped in a small Electron shell that serves the bundle over a loopback origin (the same secure-origin context the app was verified in) and adds native downloads, a manual/packs window, and a window that remembers where it was placed.

• site/ — the web application source: app/ (the studio: engine, scheduler, packs, visualizers, tests), help/ (manual + evidence pages), packs/, credits/, the landing page and site.css
• windows/ — the packaging project: the Electron shell (app/), the Inno Setup script (installer/), the build chain (tools/), the desktop suite (verify/) and version.json (the frozen-tree pin the build verifies before packaging)
• product/README-SOURCE.txt — the hash ledger for the release artifacts
• screenshots/ — the images above, from the installed build

Run it from source (any modern browser, no build step): open site/app/index.html — note the app expects to be served (a file:// origin has no AudioWorklet in some browsers), e.g. python -m http.server inside site/. The test suites run with plain node: node site/app/engine.test.js and friends (nine files, 1,076 checks).

Built for the whole field, not one corner of it

Measured numbers keep their provenance: the Schumann resonances are electromagnetic standing waves in the Earth–ionosphere cavity, offered as a representation; the EEG band names and the six-breaths-a-minute rate are ordinary practice from the literature; the solfeggio set and A = 432 Hz are presented as 1990s tradition with no medical claim; the focus-level tone layouts are built from publicly documented frequency sets and shipped without any affiliation. The evidence page in the app carries the status of every claim, and says plainly what is established (a periodic tone produces a phase-locked neural response while it plays) and what is not (that listening to a rate durably changes your brain state).

Not a medical device or treatment. Keep levels audible but conversational; do not use where you must hear your surroundings; if you have epilepsy or a seizure disorder, ask a clinician before using repetitive pulsed tones. Full safety notes are in the manual.
