Blender

Free Maya alternative

A blender is a kitchen appliance with rotating blades that pulverizes ingredients into smooth mixtures—soups, smoothies, sauces.

The word extends to anything that mixes or combines: a blender of musical styles.

In audio and video production, a blender merges separate elements into a unified output.
