Xeni-Audio - PhantomTrack - Notes Nobody Played - Demo
PhantomTrack listens to the pitch of your audio and answers with **phantom notes**: harmonies, octaves and sympathetic voices that follow your performance note-for-note - yet were never recorded. Feed it a vocal, a guitar, a synth line or a whole bus, and a ghostly second voice rises out of it, locked to your melody and your key.
It's not a reverb and it's not a delay. It's a phantom-note engine that turns what you played into what you didn't.
DEMO VERSION ONLY !
Phantom notes, three ways
A built-in pitch tracker follows your source in real time and feeds three engines you blend on a single XY pad:
Harmonic cloud — the phantom notes themselves: pitch-tracked voices that shimmer in tune above and around your source
Rhythmic echo — cross-source stutters and grains that re-trigger the phantom in time
Spectral wash — the resonant tail those notes leave behind Key it with a Root Note, hold a chord with Freeze, and steer the tonality so the ghosts always sit musically in your track.
One XY pad, four characters
Drag one point to morph between four hand-tuned phantom characters:
WHISPER — high crystal shimmer, airy and fragile
POLTERGEIST — dirty, saturated, stuttering and restless
ABYSS — deep sympathetic-resonator drone
MONOLITH — dense, cinematic, wall-of-sound darkness
The corners are starting points, not presets you're locked into — everything in between is a smooth blend.
In practice
On a lead vocal — every note you sing is doubled by a shimmering, in-tune ghost ensemble; WHISPER adds an octave-up sheen and overtone glow for instant ethereal backing voices.
On a guitar, synth or arp — ABYSS grows a sympathetic-resonator drone out of the notes you play; MONOLITH turns a simple line into a dense cinematic bed.
On drums or percussion — POLTERGEIST chops transients into saturated, stuttering rhythmic grains that lock to the groove.
On a full bus or film cue — set a Root Note, freeze a chord, and let the phantom layer hum under the whole mix.
Across tracks — send one track's dry signal to the shared pool and grow its phantom notes on a completely different track.
A voice that travels across your project
Drop PhantomTrack on more than one track and the instances talk to each put another in RECEIVE mode to grow its phantom notes from those peers.
Build a phantom of your vocal on your drum bus. Link, pair and mute peers from the panel. The ghost moves between tracks.

PhantomTrack 1.1.4
FIXED
macOS: ⌘V, ⌘C, ⌘X, ⌘A and ⌘Z now work in the license key field, whatever the host's Edit menu does with them.
PhantomTrack 1.1.3
CLAP: the phantom is no longer cut on a track whose own input goes quiet while the other tracks keep playing (the host could put the instance to sleep).
Linux: fixed a possible crash when closing an instance.
PhantomTrack 1.1.2
FIXED
PhantomTrack no longer requires AVX2. The Windows and Linux builds now run on any x86-64 processor, including AMD FX/Phenom and Intel chips from before 2013. On those machines the symptom was a host that scanned the plugin forever — nothing ever mentioned AVX.
Windows: the editor window could fail to open over Remote Desktop, in a virtual machine, or on a machine with no GPU driver, and could freeze on an otherwise valid graphics context.
The size you set by dragging the host's own window frame is now kept, both while you drag and when you close and reopen the editor. This is the resize path that matters in Cubase and Nuendo, where the plugin's own corner grip is deliberately inert since 1.1.1.
The editor reopens at the size you chose rather than the size the host last granted it.
PhantomTrack 1.1.1
A single fix, for a single host.
FIXED
Cubase and Nuendo (Windows) no longer crash while the plugin's resize grip is being dragged.
CHANGED
As a consequence, the plugin's internal resize grip no longer does anything in Cubase and Nuendo. Resize the plugin with the host's own window frame instead. The size you pick is still remembered when you close and reopen the editor.
PhantomTrack 1.1.0
The release that fixes what the demo and the license were doing behind your back.
NEW
macOS installers are signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized: no more right-click-to-open, and Logic loads the AU with no workaround. (The Windows installer is still unsigned.)
FIXED
Activation could be verified online and then silently lost. If you closed the license window during the ten seconds the check takes: Cancel, Escape, or a click outside — the key was never written to disk and PhantomTrack dropped back to DEMO. It is now saved whatever you do with the window.
Activating one instance now unlocks the others. Before, every instance loaded before you typed the key kept muting until you reloaded the whole project.
In DEMO, several instances muted at unrelated times, which sounds like random dropouts rather than a demo limit. Every instance now cuts on the same beat. Offline bounces are unaffected.
macOS: the plugin window could not be dragged until you resized it (Bitwig, Live). Fixed.
macOS: the interface was offset upward in Reaper, and in Luna the bottom of it was cut off and could not be resized. Both fixed.
Every buyer's Mac had been writing a debug log on every window open and resize since 1.0.7, with no size limit. Removed.
