LAZARUS FREQUENCY STUDIO — MAC EDITION 1.1 Offline sound exploration for macOS WHAT CHANGED IN 1.1 Musical phrases is the new default playing style. Chimes now move through connected gestures with recurring melodic shapes, varied touch, and softer endings. Bowls, bells, tingsha and wooden blocks have distinct playing patterns; the ensemble lets a low resonance lead into a higher reply. All instruments share a five-note tuning related to the selected carrier. Sounds remain original synthesis, with no recordings or network connection required. UPDATING FROM 1.0 Quit the old app, install this version, and reopen it. Your existing preferences are kept; the new Playing style starts at Musical phrases. If you are using the preview from the earlier chat, close that preview and open this final app. The original 1.0 installers are retained in release/v1.0.0 as a rollback copy. INSTALL AND OPEN 1. Open Lazarus-Frequency-Studio-macOS.dmg. 2. Drag Lazarus Frequency Studio.app to the Applications shortcut. 3. Open Lazarus Frequency Studio from Applications. Eject the disk image. Alternatively, unzip Lazarus-Frequency-Studio-macOS.zip and drag the app to Applications. You can also open the app directly from its extracted folder. No installer, subscription, account, browser, downloads, or internet connection is needed to listen. All sounds and the interface are included in the app. This is a locally built, ad-hoc signed app. It is not Developer ID signed or notarized by Apple. If macOS blocks its first launch, review the warning; for this app you just built/received, Apple's documented per-app opening procedure is System Settings > Privacy & Security > Open Anyway after attempting to open it. On older macOS versions this is in System Preferences > Security & Privacy. Do not disable system-wide security settings. Apple's guidance: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102445 The executable includes Apple Silicon (macOS 12 or later) and Intel (macOS 13 or later) versions. Runtime verification was performed on the current Apple Silicon Mac; Intel and older macOS versions were compiled for, but not hardware-tested. FIRST SESSION 1. Select your speakers or Bluetooth headphones in macOS Sound settings. 2. Start with a comfortable system volume, then click Test my sound. It plays a one-second 440 Hz tone and stops automatically. Master volume applies. 3. Choose a preset and press Play. Stereo binaural sends separate frequencies to each ear, so use stereo headphones. Audible pulse also works on speakers. 4. Adjust master volume, frequency volume, carrier, and optional ambient mix. 5. Enable Instrument layer to add chimes, bells, singing bowls, tingsha-inspired cymbals, wooden temple blocks, or an ensemble. Its mix is independent. For instruments alone, set Frequency layer to zero and turn off Soft ambient layer. Play a phrase previews a complete musical gesture without starting the session; it also adds a phrase during playback. Enable Instrument layer first. Choose Single notes if you prefer individual strikes; the button becomes Strike now. Both playing styles use the improved tuning and touch. INSTRUMENT PLAYING AND TIMING Musical phrases: Each event is an instrument-appropriate gesture rather than an unrelated random pitch. Chimes form short cascades with a recognizable motif, a gentle answer, and variations in the ending. Playing has bounded variations in timing and force. Repeated phrases leave room for resonance. In the ensemble, bowls or bells provide a foundation and chimes answer above them; cymbals and wooden blocks provide occasional accents. Single notes: Individual resonant notes at the selected spacing. Tuning and articulation improvements still apply. Natural flow: Phrase density sets the average phrase starts per minute, with varied spacing. In Single notes style this becomes notes per minute. Even spacing: A phrase begins at each chosen interval. Call & response: A phrase begins at cycle start, then a softer reply at 40% through the cycle. Cycle length is adjustable from 5 to 60 seconds. Gestures shorten when necessary to fit the chosen spacing. The first automatic gesture starts about half a second after playback begins. Changing instrument, style or timing cancels queued notes and schedules a fresh gesture. Pausing, stopping, switching the instrument layer off, or completing a timed session cancels pending notes and fades the sound. A resumed session starts a fresh gesture without a burst of overdue notes. Instrument tuning follows the carrier by octave and consonant pitch ratios. Changing the carrier influences new phrases; ringing notes finish naturally. All instrument timbres and musical patterns are original procedural synthesis. They evoke playing gestures rather than reproduce a particular performance, recording, physical instrument, or tradition. See MUSICAL-REFERENCES.txt for technique sources and an explicit account of what was accessible. PLAYBACK AND CONTROLS Play/Pause preserves elapsed session time. Stop & reset returns it to zero. Presets and audio adjustments keep the current session timer. Changing Session duration changes the total target length measured from the start of the current session; if the new duration has already elapsed, the session ends. Unlimited runs until stopped. Timed sessions support 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes and fade out when complete. Play after completion starts a fresh session. All settings are remembered locally; reopening the app never autoplays. Space (when not editing a control): Play/Pause Command-P: Play/Pause Command-period: Stop & reset Command-B: Preview the enabled instrument layer (phrase or single note) Command-M: Minimize Command-Q: Quit Minimizing the window leaves playback running. Mac sleep pauses the session; press Play after waking. Closing the window quits the app. Output follows the Mac's selected sound device, including connected Bluetooth output. A device reconnect can cause a hardware interruption; if needed, reselect the output and press Play. Gapless synthesis cannot eliminate Bluetooth radio dropouts or interruptions caused by system sleep or disconnecting hardware. IF YOU HEAR NOTHING Check system output and mute, Master volume, and Frequency layer volume. For instruments, enable the layer, raise Instrument mix and click Play a phrase. Run Test my sound. If an audio error is shown, choose a working output in macOS Sound settings and press Play again. The 1.5 MHz entry is intentionally silent.

In audible pulse mode both channels play the carrier with a smooth amplitude modulation at the selected beat rate. Tone presets play the same carrier in both ears. The pure-tone readout follows carrier edits. Beat adjustment is 0.5–50 Hz in 0.01 Hz steps, preserving exactly 7.83 Hz. Carriers: 200, 256, 432, and 528 Hz. ABOUT THE SOUND Lazarus is for personal listening and sound exploration, not medical treatment. The presets are not proven to repair DNA, regenerate tissue, or cure illness. Low frequency settings describe binaural differences or amplitude modulation of audible tones; they do not output a standalone 0.5–50 Hz speaker tone. 1.5 MHz is ultrasound, not audible sound. This app and ordinary Mac speakers or headphones cannot output 1.5 MHz ultrasound. That entry is reference only. SOURCE AND OFFLINE DESIGN The supplied source folder contains: Web/ Bundled interface and recovered preset collection Sources/ Native AppKit/WebKit shell, audio engine and synthesis scripts/ Build, icon generation and test tools tests/ Audio continuity and behavior verification reference-web-v4/ Original three web source files, retained for provenance PROVENANCE.txt Exact original version and source commit VALIDATION.txt Performed checks and remaining verification limits MUSICAL-REFERENCES.txt Musical design references and attribution The native audio source continuously generates stereo samples at 48 kHz. Oscillator phases continue across render buffers, eliminating repeating WAV restart boundaries. The original low-level 61/89 Hz ambient bed is preserved. Gains, pitch and mode changes are smoothed. Instrument events are scheduled on the audio sample clock, independent of browser timers. A fixed-capacity event queue schedules the individual notes within each musical gesture. Overlapping original modal resonances produce the instrument sounds. A soft peak limiter is built in. The app has no external libraries, fetched fonts, audio assets or services. The local interface blocks network requests and external navigation. REBUILD (OPTIONAL; NOT REQUIRED TO USE THE APP) On a Mac with Apple's Command Line Tools installed, open Terminal in the source folder and run: bash scripts/build.sh --package --smoke-test This compiles both architectures, builds the app, verifies its ad-hoc signature, checks the bundled interface, and packages ZIP and DMG releases. Use the test script listed in VALIDATION.txt for deterministic audio checks. Uninstall by quitting and moving the app to Trash. Saved preferences are local to the bundle identifier studio.lazarus.frequency.mac. No cloud data is created.
