Time Bender Mac OS
Apple began phasing in the use of its SSD-friendly APFS file system with High Sierra for SSD-only Macs, and then upgraded Fusion Drive-based Macs in Mojave. In Big Sur, Time Machine volumes can finally be formatted with APFS, too. But in this transition, one capability was quietly lost: APFS volumes cannot be shared for network access via Apple’s relatively ancient Apple Filing Protocol (AFP).
- New in this version: Motion differencing added to De-Interlacer, smoother Time Bender, faster Motion Blur, Frame Rate Adjuster, Noise Reducer, Broadcast Legalizer, Multi-Frame Blender, Shape.
- An anonymous reader writes 'As part of his 1680-page book Mac OS X Internals: A Systems Approach, Amit Singh of kernelthread.com wrote a very detailed technical history of Apple's operating systems. Since he had to cut down on the history chapter because of the book's already too-large size, most of this chapter didn't make it to the printed book.
- The time that your Mac displays is not only for your convenience, but also a requirement for many of OS X’s services. This includes its ability to schedule tasks and notify you of calendar events, as well as time-stamp files and events, and properly communicate with online services using some forms of encryption.
AFP dates to the pre-OS X days, with a version appearing in System 6 in the late 1980s. As with most older protocols, it got long in the tooth, and Apple went from just supporting the Windows and Linux world’s SMB to shifting to it as the only built-in sharing method. Way back in OS X 10.9 Mavericks, Apple began moving away from AFP in favor of the industry-standard SMB, although it still hasn’t removed support.
(In Mac OS X El Capitan or earlier choose Turn off Time Machine). When you next want to back up your Mac click on the greyed-out Time Machine icon in your menu bar and choose Back Up Now. Assuming the Mac has already been configured to use a ntp server (and its enabled) but for some reason the Mac's time has drifted, the Apple commands do not appear to have a single command to tell.
In Big Sur, Apple dropped the ability to share volumes via AFP entirely, but even though Catalina retained AFP-sharing support, as noted above, APFS-formatted volumes could not be shared over AFP. macOS Sierra though Catalina “fails silently” in this method, letting you turn on AFP in the Sharing preference pane’s File Sharing section, even if there are no volumes that AFP can share. (Big Sur can still mount AFP-shared volumes.)
I suggest disabling AFP sharing on any Mac running Catalina or earlier versions that you no longer have HFS+ drives mounted or plan to mount in the future:
- Open the Sharing preference pane.
- Click the File Sharing item at left.
- Click the Options button.
- If you see an option for AFP, uncheck it. Check “Share filse and folders using SMB” if it isn’t selected.
- Click Done.
The only reason this typically matters, however, is on other Macs. When you have a stored alias on one Mac that points to another, and which was a connection originally made over AFP. The alias will still try to work if the other computer is sharing via AFP, even if the volume is no longer shared over AFP.
The solution?
- Delete your alias.
- In the Finder, choose Go > Network.
- Double-click the computer you want to share from.
- Enter login information for that Mac if prompted. (If may be stored in your Keychain and the login handled silently.)
- Double-click the volume you want to link to.
- Select the volume. See below for methods.
- Choose File > Make Alias or hold down Command and Option while dragging to create an alias.
You can select the volume in step 6 in one of several ways:
- In the Locations section of the sidebar, click the remote Mac, then in the resulting Finder window, double-click the volume you want to make an alias from. Navigate up one level and proceed to step 7.
- In Finder > Preferences, make sure that in the General tab you have selected “Connected servers.” This will make any mounted drives appear on the Desktop, where you can select them in step 6 and proceed to step 7.

WAY MORE THAN DYNAMIC AUDIO BENDING !
A dynamic triggered pitch envelope using a vintage digital pitch-shifter design.
Originally invented for guitar or bass, ELASTIC Bender can be used on any source signal, such as guitar, bass, drums, vocals or anything you can think of!
Dynamic wah and auto-wah effects have brought new ways of expression and you could think of the ELASTIC Bender as a kind of dynamic pitch shifter or dynamic Whammy.
Basic operation : while incoming audio peaks are processed by the initial stage, they will trigger a custom shaped pitch envelope that will dynamically bend the note(s) starting lower than incoming pitch or higher than incoming pitch. You can act on the depth, speed and shape of the pitch envelope before it comes back to the incoming un-pitched input signal.
This is a very expressive effect, very funky sounding with short envelope time.
But there are way more inside than just auto-bend!
ELASTIC Bender is based on vintage pitch shifters design, emulated analog input stage and custom modulation capabilities. The design gives it a sound of it's own and could even be used just for it's color.
MODE B (10ms) can produce unusual lush chorus, wild flange and ring modulation type effects.
The MODE D (300ms) can produce pseudo grainy reverb, slap back effects and early vintage pitch shifter pitch change.

Feedback provides some nasty sound effects, ELASTIC Bender can even self-oscillate!
Input and output circuits are analog modeled so ELASTIC Bender will nicely overdrive if pushed too far...
Oh and yeah it looks like a BOSS pedal, mainly because I think this effect would suit nicely into their range and I am a Vintage BOSS pedal addict myself, I own 15 of these babies! :D
The ELASTIC Bender can also be modified from the inside!
Time Bender Mac Os Catalina
There are 3 sources to trigger the envelope: audio peaks, built in LFO and trigger from incoming MIDI notes for great tempo synced rhythmic sequences.
EL-2 uses true stereo processing with slightly changing envelope times between left and right for a nice mono to stereo send widening effect or stereo separation.

Of courseyou will find dry/wet level adjustement, peak trigger sensitivity and even VCA pitch envelope curve shaping.
