Midi Echo midi effects for iOS

Midi Echo AUv3 Midi Fx Note : AUv3 midi apps need a compatible host (AUM,Audiobus 3, Cubasis, BM3 etc).

So what is a midi echo? It is similar to the audio echo effect where copies of the original audio are repeated at regular time intervals but with some form of change (e.g. quieter). But unlike audio, midi is digital in nature (low resolution 8 bit mostly) and focused around the midi note on & off message used to control synths etc.

This app acts on midi note-on independently from the note-off but when the note – off appears it echoes the release of the note-on in the same way the note-on was echoed (pitch interval etc) even if the UI controls have changed.

UI Controls exist to allow you to:
* Select the type of echo (fixed, ping pong, taper)
* Vary the number of echoes (from 0 to 20)
* Make echoes quieter by reducing the midi velocity
* Define the pitch interval (semitone) of all successive echoes
* Select the delay time between echoes either tempo sync or in mSec
* Define the delay type (fixed, tempo, random 50, random 20)
* Set the midi channel of echoes (1-16) so that other synths can select the echo only
* Disable individual echoes – to allow you to play chords with a small or 0 delay
* Set Midi thru to keep/remove the original note messages
* Panic button to quickly turn off all notes
* Setup control automation as all controls are AU Parameters

Ratshack Analog Delay Reverb AU
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , , ,

Ratshack Reverb is a detailed model of that classic of classics, the Realistic Electronic Reverb. Now, you can have the sound of everyone’s first analog delay unit, without ever having to change batteries!

As anyone who has owned this unit (which is just about everyone…) knows, it was actually an analog delay, not a reverb at all, and we’ve done our best to exactly replicate the sound and quirks of the original. We’ve even modeled the distortion that occurs by running a line signal in to the mic inputs.

Features

» Accurate analog “bucket-brigade” style delay model. Change the delay time, and the signal pitches accordingly.

» Both mic and line inputs modeled, for overdriving the delay section if desired.

» XML-based cross-platform preset manager, with copy and paste. (You can even move presets between the iOS version and the desktop version with Handoff.)

» Entirely vector-based resizable high-resolution user interface

» Both IAA and AUv3 versions included.

Audio unit compressor with sidechain

The Woodman Woodpressor audio unit has a nifty little sidechain feature and it’s super easy to use. I chose to do this in Cubasis but it works the same in other apps like AUM for example.

Bitcrusher and resampler audio unit

Degrader is a combined resampler and bit crusher AUv3 plugin. It can be used to simulate the sound of vintage digital gear, as a lofi-effect or as a plain distortion unit. Since all parameters are fully automatable it’s a handy plugin for creating unique and interesting drops, sweeps and other transitions.

It also comes with a handful of factory presets.

Features:

• Resamples between 250 Hz and 96 kHz.
• Low pass filter with different characteristics both pre and post resampling.
• Bit depth can continuously be altered between 3 and 24 bits.
• Additional distortion algorithm.
• Parameter linking (control several parameters with one knob)
• Input and output gain control.
• Dry / Wet mix.
• Several factory presets simulating different vintage gear.

Full documentation available inside the app or at https://klevgrand.se/download/degrader-docs/

NOTE! Degrader is a AUv3 plugin that only works in a AUv3 compliant host like Garageband, AUM, Cubasis, Beatmaker 3, Auria etc.

Audio Unit With Side Chain Filter
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , , ,

Audio unit compressor with sidechain

Woodpressor is a high-end audio compressor. It is both a standalone app supporting IAA (Inter-App Audio) and an AUv3 audio unit plugin.
It has all the classic compressor controls like “Threshold”, “Attack”, “Release”, “Ratio”, etc
but also has some extra features not commonly found on other compressors.

Compressor audio unit with side chain filter

– Auto gain
– Tube distort
– Adaptive Threshold
– Non-linear Release
– Side chain filter (bandpass, highpass, lowpass or notch)
– Limiter

It also has it’s own side chain mechanism as currently no or very little AUv3 hosts implement a side chain.

Woodpressor can save/load user presets, especially useful in standalone mode (or for AUv3 hosts not having their own preset store)
User Presets are written to iCloud Drive which makes them automatically available (and synced, and backed-up) on all devices (and all host apps or DAW’s) running Woodpressor.
