DESCRIPTION
SonicMood... Life stressing you out? Do you need to relax or block out that annoying babble from the next cubicle? Maybe you are just having a hard time falling asleep? SonicMood creates a soothing background of melodic tones to lower your stress and help you relax. Each "Mood" is a blend of polyphonic stereo instrumentals with pleasing harmonies combined with the sounds of nature. Moods have a mellowing effect, the gentle sounds lying just below your consciousness. SonicMood comes with 28 pre-defined Moods AND you can create your own! It's ambient music at its best!
There are 28 different sets of 'chimes' using different instruments, including bells, crystals, kalimbas, glockenspiels, violins, and many others. Audio files of nature sounds are added to each mood. You can create your own moods or edit the 28 existing moods. You won't find anything like this on a CD...
WHAT'S NEW
Version 4.9.1:
Fixed a crash that can occur
during the download of a new version.
Made the SonicMood icon slightly smaller to give a little
more room between icons on the dock.
Changed the volume, volume variation, and pan controls on
the Edit window to round knobs.
Changed the behavior of the "Edit Mood Playing" button on
the Edit window so it displays "Click to Play" and "Click
to Pause" when the edited Mood is playing.
Changed many buttons on the Edit window and elsewhere to
several new custom classes for an improved appearance.
Added separator lines on the Edit window's "Individual Note
Properties" page between the instrument columns and the
function areas (instrument selection, volume, timing, note
selection).
Added the color scheme "TwiNight".
Added an outline around most buttons.
Fixed a bug where the sleep/wake timer settings were not
displayed when SonicMood was launched with the timer on.
Replaced the checkboxes for enabling the motion effects and
the play/fade/pause for the soundfiles with the new custom
class buttons.
Swapped the listbox and the play/fade/pause controls on the
"soundfiles" page of the Edit window.
Fixed an issue where double-clicking on a non-highlighted
Mood in the SonicMood window's list, when the Edit window
is open and the "Individual Note Properties" page is
showing is delayed by the time needed to refresh the page
that the Mood name becomes editable.
Changed the "resize tab." It's now transparent and takes on
the color of the window background.
Changed the Chime and Colors windows so they are normal
global floating windows that use the transparent "resize
tab" like the SonicMood and Scene windows use.
Changed the volume knobs in the Edit window so the middle
position is 100%.
Made the slider's "thumb" slightly larger.
Hopefully found a fix for the
“NilObjectException” crash bug that happened infrequently
to some when SonicMood tried to save changes to its Mood
file.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later (Leopard compatible).

CYBORG9 Been using SM for quite some time now. It's absolutely and totally sublime. Never fails to soothe the savage beast in me. It's a nurturing, comforting womb to take refuge in....a true haven of tranquility in a world full of harassment. A gentle, loving, blissful massage for the psyche.

EASER I've used this for less than 60 seconds and plan to buy it next paycheck. Although it seems to have a lot of bells and whistles (no pun intended) that appear daunting, I will read through the manual to figure it all out. This has been really relaxing. Nice program. It's like having my own personal "Hearts of Space," only without the annoying voice-overs.

MRCHIPS " It's like having my own personal "Hearts of Space," only without the annoying voice-overs." I admit to being a "Hearts of Space," fan too :) Thank you for your kind comments! The next version should be out soon. I've tried to improve the "edit" window so that it's a bit easier to understand and use. Modifying and making new Moods can be a bit daunting at first! | |

CTURNER This is a terrifically useful software. The music/background sounds are relaxing, soothing and can help with studying and concentrating. They are also very useful for just relaxing. Recent updates improved functionality and user tweaking. You can adjust lots of parameters to get the effect you want or just select from the wide variety included. Developer is very responsive and friendly. Highly recommended

HELIOS9 Only those without a soul will fail to appreciate how this little gem can transform one's immediate environment into a veritable Garden of Paradise. It's absolutely breathtaking! At $10, it's an absolute bargain. Definitely worth two or three times that price. Been using it for years, now, and it's one of the very few software programs that has definitely enhanced the quality of my life. But it now!

IDJSTER Truly the best relaxation software around. I've used it through a few versions and have never been disappointed that I registered it. I've had communications with the author and he's been responsive and quick to reply. While the software works 'out of the box' it has a tremendous ability for customization to one's personal tastes. Truly a great app and well worth the price!

I just wanted to say thank you for your kind comments. I'm truly gratified at the support and encouragement you and others have given me. Rest assured that I am determined to make SonicMood even better because of it! | |

8OO8 This outstandingly beautiful creation is a true balm for the soul. It generates soothing, centering, healing soundscapes that will enhance the quality of your life. The developer must, indeed, be in touch with the Source of all Creation, for Sonic Moods is a true gift from On High. It glistens like a diamond lotus in the morning sun. While Sonic Moods has been with us for a while, if you've never come across it before consider yourself blessed, for it is a true find. This wonderful developer is always seeking ways to make it better and better, and at the paltry sum of $10, it is priceless. I humbly bow before this very gifted soul.

ANONYMOUS I have to give this application all 5's. It serves a very useful purpose - to help you relax - and it does it well. The icing on the cake is that the developer is caring and responsive. The new feature of playing a background soundfile along with the instruments really boosts the effectiveness of the moods. It'a also highly customizable. I think no matter where you may be with your computer it can improve your environment, help you relax and even concentrate better. I recommend it highly! | |

CYBERDYNE Sorry, I don't like having two separate windows for moods and scenes.

ANONYMOUS Cyberdyne, you can put the Scenes window on top of the Moods window or you can hide the Moods window by clicking its "close box". I was just trying to give the user more flexibility. You can also "zoom" the Moods window to a small size and still have the Scenes window open to any size you want. You couldn't do that before...
