4Pockets Atomizer Glitch App
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , ,

Atomizer glitch stutter pitch app

This is an AUv3 compatible audio effect which can be used as plugin with your favourite DAW such as Cubasis, Meteor, Auria, AUM or GarageBand. It supports a modern graphical interface and presets with stereo meters for monitoring signal levels.

Atomizer is a great plugin for adding beat synced glitch and stuttering, pitch shifting and various forms of filtering effects to your songs. The plugin splices incoming audio into samples divisible by the current tempo and allows you to play them as a continuous seamless loop blended over the original audio. You do this using the grid of vertical finger pads, each representing samples of increasing lengths. Simply tap and hold one of these pads to repeat the currently playing section of incoming audio. Slide your finger up and down to fade in and out the repeated sample. Slide left and right to increase or decrease the sample length of the currently playing sample.

A customisable digital delay section allows held samples to trail out on release, automatically syncing it’s delay times with the loop size (when set to Auto).

The second finger pad (XY pad) defaults to a LP/HP filter sweep, but can be configured to manipulate effects such as real time pitch shifting, panning, flanging, overdrive, bit-crunch and modulation effects.

The XY pad also supports multi-touch, allowing the play cursor to glide between your fingers at a specified speed. Press the HOLD button and you can then release your fingers and have them playback a set pattern. Use the FOLLOW feature to follow finger movements etc.

The envelope knob morphs between fade in and fade out envelopes and can be assigned to the XY Pad to add additional dynamics to the repeats. A configurable modulation section also allows you to automate panning or vibrato and assign various envelope shapes.

Atomizer is an incredibly fun way of adding background vocals, selective echoes, complex backings or just shear carnage to your mix! This is yet another great tool for those wanting to add a creative or experimental twist to any form of electronic composition, adding a few extra dynamics into your mix with very little effort.

NOTE: To record parameter automation in Meteor please ensure the appropriate tracks Controller Resolution is set to ‘Fine’.

iLep Modular Effects App
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , ,

iLEP modular effects app

iLEP (Live Electronic Patch) is the result of many years of collaboration between composers and software engineers with the aim of creating a live-electronic instrument that shows its strongest musical performance in conjunction with an acoustic musical instrument and is especially suitable for use in concerts.

The first version of LEP was developed in Max-MSP by Wolfgang Heiniger and Thomas Kessler and later further developed by Thomas Seelig. Thomas Seelig then redesigned the original version and ported it for the iOS operating system to make the app runable on the iPad and thus accessible to a wide range of applications. Oliver Greschke joined later to help complete the app.

FEATURES

– Modular effect app with various routing and modulation options
– 6 different effects: 2x ring modulator, 2x filter (low, high, band), 2x pitch shifter, 2 delay, degrade, reverb, which can be precisely controlled graphically and by direct parameter input
– 16*16 patch-possibilities to route audio through different effects, like in a modular system
– Possible sound sources: Microphone/line in, sampler and pitch tracker, various test signals (sine, noise, sample)
– Various effect parameters can be modulated to different degrees (min… max) by a modulation source (e.g. Midi Express pedal): Excellent for live applications!
– An additional effect parameter can be modulated by midi notes
– Save, import, export and edit your own cue effect configurations
– Different cues can be combined to a set
– Import and management of own samples and entire sample libraries assigned to a set
– Import of midi files for modulation purposes
– Possibility to automatically run through different cues (presets) with time control using the “Autocue” function
– Possibility to quickly launch cues (presets) via Midi Bank and Midi program messages
– Stereo 3-way input equalizer (high shelf, peak notch, low shelf) to adjust input signals
– Master limiter at the end of the signal chain
– Audio bus and IAA capable (effect node)

Turnado now audio unit!

Turnado now audio unit!

My dreams have comes true. One of my all time fav effects apps just went AUv3. Funny they dropped Audiobus support though. Hmmm. Turnado is a revolutionary multi-effect tool, crafted especially for massive real-time audio manipulation. It combines unique and dynamic effects with the most intuitive and immediate control you can imagine. Just turn it on and crank it up.

Take it to the stage and unleash Turnado’s true power. With instant access to eight effects and immediate control over key parameters, Turnado is guaranteed to cause devastation on the dance floor, shredding beats and crunking breaks to insane proportions.

What’s New Jun 25, 2018 Version 1.5.0
••• Audio Unit v3 •••
(Attention: Please be aware that with this update already existing Inter-App Audio and Audiobus sessions won’t work anymore!)

We decided to drop native Audiobus and Inter-App Audio support and focus on what we think is the future for iOS.

Thanks to AUv3 you now have a plugin interface that offers you the most features currently available.
No longer switch between apps or rely on work-around solutions with extra steps and messy MIDI problems.
Simply run Turnado within your favourite iOS DAW just like you would on desktop.
Go wild running multiple instances, record parameter changes in real time and automatically save/restore Turnado’s state within the host app.

••• iCloud Drive •••
Through iCloud, you’ll be able to share your saved presets across multiple devices including your desktop computer.

Features at a Glance:
• Audio Unit Plugin Extension
• 4 XY-Pads to control 2 Effects simultaneously (X,Y)
• Integrated Player (Music Library, Factory Loops)
• Integrated Recorder (options: Start/Stop/Sync/Length)
• Live Modus (Inputs & Outputs selectable)
• Auria Plug-In
• AudioCopy / AudioShare import
• AudioCopy / AudioShare / Soundcoud / Dropbox export
• Full Midi Support (Virtual, Network, Extern)
• Midi Clock Sync

The idea is simple:
Turn a knob and the effect is on.
Turn the knob further to adjust effect parameters and apply modulations.
Turn the knob down and the effect is off.

With its instantaneous, one-knob, multi-parameter modulation features, Turnado will lay waste to the audio landscape. Giving you the power to crunch, chop, twist, mash and elevate your music to new levels, Turnado will have you creating wicked new sounds that will blow any crowd away.

Unlocking the power of your MIDI controller each effect requires only one knob to control it. Underneath this simplicity lies a matrix of effect parameters and modulation engines, all controlled by the main knob. This control matrix provides serious depth to the plugin and gives you the ability to create original and truly unique effect programs.

If the power of one-knob action still doesn’t rock your boat, the awesome “Dictator” mode will sink your battleship. It allows you to animate all the main knobs and run that animation with just one fader. That’s one fader, controlling up to 8 different effects, with potentially hundreds of parameter changes!

Turnado’s primary focus is on beat manipulation, so you will find lots of loopers, slicers and grain tools in the rack. Alongside these beat-mashing effects are an arsenal of distortions and filters as well as first-class delays and reverbs. With extensive modulation possibilities each effect can produce millions of unbelievable variations that can be morphed and twisted into something new every time you tweak those knobs.
Turnado will inspire you again and again, delivering completely new variations of your original sounds and grooves every time, so what are you waiting for…turn it on.
