EFX is a 4 channels multi-effect processor, that’s easy and intuitive to play, but offers complex options to shape the sound and to route the audio effects stream.

Connect EFX to any input source, like the devices built in microphone, an external keyboard or guitar (iPad soundcard needed) or to your favorite iOS drum machine or synthesizer via Inter-App Audio or Audiobus. Or import a soundfile into the app and alienate it with with up to 4 different effects at the same time!

Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , , ,

*** Note: this is an Audio Unit Effect Plugin (AUv3) which requires a compatible host or DAW to work. ***

Kosmonaut is Multitap Delay with a twist. In addition to adding echoes to your audio, it packs a bunch of extra tools to put your music in space:

– Tape looper with with variable sound-on-sound decay level
– 4-Tap Delay (placed in series for complex feedback loops)
– LP/HP filters with LFO
– Autopanner
– Ambiance Generator
– Haas Effect Processor (aka ‘wavefront precedence effect’)

All features are demonstrated extensively in a ton of factory presets, and you can easily add your own user presets, which will automatically carry over across different host apps.

All variables are exposed as AU Parameters in hosts which support automation.

It also has a smart Random-feature, which may come up with usable results 🙂

FAC Transient Shaper For iOS
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , ,

FAC Transient as is suggested by the name is an outstanding dynamics processor providing precise design and control of the attack and sustain stages of your instruments. Transient designers or shapers are often associated with drum enhancements and only the best of them are versatile enough to suit most of the scenarios. Of course, you know that FAC takes pride in ensuring versatility in its product line, providing subtle to drastic changes. FAC Transient is no exception to the rule.

To meet this objective and to be ready for all the situations: drums, guitars, bass, vocal and much more. FAC Transient includes, in addition to the classic amplification or attenuation of the attack and sustain portion of your instrument, a fine control of the detection circuit involved in the processing.

Without going into technical details, there are three envelopes built from their respective detection circuits. The first one is the contour of the input signal, this includes similar processing available in Maxima and brings you control of the treshold, time and detector algorithm. The second and third one define the contour of the attack and sustain portions and brings you a total control of the depth and duration of each stage.

FAC Transient gives you all you need to design the shape of your instruments and provides them the place they deserve in your mix.

Stone Echo Audio Unit
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , , , ,

Echo effect Audio Unit V3 inspired by the mayan pyramids acoustic echo. I come up with a complex phase modulated frequency of the echo so you can change it’s frequency signature. It is kind of changing the material of the reflective surface and I called it “Stone F”.

I have made the echo to sound more music friendly to me but there is button called “UFO” and if you press it the effect is more close to the mayan just shifting the frequency backwards (I liked that better). You can also control the feedback of the phase modulation.

The effect can work as a stand alone app and as an audio unit AUV3 plug-in.
Stone Echo is an effect that is heavy on the CPU

Controls:
– Time – time offset of the echo
– Stone F – frequency response of the echo
– Feedback – echo feedback
– Level – the volume of the echo
– UFO – heavy modulated echo
