Wider by Infected Mushroom App Store Description:
Wider — derived from the massively popular stereo feature of its sibling Manipulator — expands the stereo image of a mono signal to an awe-inspiring amount of width.
However, Wider is a unique stereo plugin in the sense that it is completely “mono-compatible,” meaning that any signal that has been extended will always remain in phase with itself, even if summed to mono.
Many stereo effects currently in use have the nasty habit of knocking signals out of phase which can quickly make a track sound muddy and unbalanced, or make sounds seem flat and lacking dynamics if one isn’t mindful of the effect. Thanks to Wider’s one-of-a-kind all-pass and comb filtering algorithm, a natural-sounding stereo image is created from a mono channel without compromising the phase between the sides. Because Wider cancels itself out when summed to mono, the original signal is left intact.
Wider can be used to increase the stereo image of any mono signal up to 200% of full stereo for an extra wide, exaggerated effect.
Knorr is a plugin that adds intensity and edge to a monophonic low frequency audio source (like a bass). The algorithm adds overtones to an existing sound in a way that isn’t possible with ordinary distortion or filtering.
The Knorr Algorithm
The underlying algorithm uses a combination of filtering, amplitude- , and frequency modulation to process incoming audio. Although Knorr is developed with bass sounds in mind, it can be used on any monophonic sound source as long as there is audio content available in the low mids (and below).
**User interface**
XY Pad – Controls the bandwidth and amount of energy sent to the algorithm. Click and drag to move the marker.
Range (X-axis) – Sets a low pass filter frequency of the signal to be sent to the algorithm. Spans from 100 Hz to 1 kHz.
Level (Y-axis) – Sets the level of the low passed audio content.
Bite (SOFT, MEDIUM, HARD) – Alters the amount of intensity of the modulations.
Output – Sets the output level.
Bypass – Turns the effect on or off.
Frequency Response graph – Shows the frequency response of the internal modulation signal.
Note that Knorr is a AUv3 only and and needs to be launched via a AUv3 compatible host like GarageBand, Cubasis, Auria or similar. It will not work as a stand alone application.
ToneBoosters ReelBus is a top-quality, faithful, versatile and accurate magnetic tape simulation plug-in bringing warmth and excitement of tape to your iOS or iPadOS device!
Instant gratification from 80s compact cassette sound to professional 30 IPS studio recorder simulation. Sweeten your mix with a touch of tape hysteresis, saturation and compression. Create that ‘Boards of Canada’ sound by adding a tad of wow-and-flutter. Top it up with tape flanging, echo and tape start/stop effects.
The ToneBoosters ReelBus app captures the microphone (or external sound card) input and processes the signals in real time. To use it as a plug-in, use an AUv3-compatible host app such as Steinberg Cubasis, Apple Garageband, Audio Evolution Mobile Studio, Auria, AUM, or others. ToneBoosters ReelBus will appear in the list of Audio Unit extensions for effect plug-ins.
Key features:
– The same professional sound as the acclaimed desktop version
– Wide variety of tape and saturation modes available
Haaze is a 16 band stereo widening tool that utilizes three different methods of controlling the stereo width and spatial positioning of an audio stream.
• Haas – adds a small delay to the left or right audio channel which will make the listener believe the sounds arrives from the side that’s reaching the ear first.
• Pan – Alters the gain level on one of the audio channels. All 16 bands can be panned separately, so this method gets quite equal to the common “split eq” function in various equalizers.
• MS Stereo. Controls the output stereo width on each band, from normal stereo signal to mono.
There’s also a view for controlling the output gain of all bands separately.
Changes from the initial version:
• New and more transparent crossover filters
• Haas: Better control for each band
• Split EQ: Now called “PAN” and provides much more control over.
• MS Stereo: New feature in v2.0.0
• Gain: New feature in v2.0.0
• Visualization: New feature in v2.0.0
• Brand new and more intuitive UI for a better work flow.
• Several factory presets.
The BLEASS sidekick AUv3 is the only iOS AUv3 effect plugin that offers a kick drum synth and sequencer coupled with a sidechain compressor in order to bring unique and creative dynamics to your music!
All music producers (techno / dubstep / ambient / house / hiphop…) alike will enjoy the instant pumping effect in the mix and the fully customizable kick drum sonic impact brought by the BLEASS sidekick Audio Unit plugin.
This update brings a brand new UI with improved colors and overall feeling.
You now can also trig the kick not only with AU parameters but also with midi notes in hosts such as Cubasis or BeatMaker3!
Inspired by the classic 808 analog sound as well as many other legendary drum machines, the drumsynth features extensive and precise parameters to get punchy / boomy / drum kick sounds:
– kick tuning, decay and volume
– sinus to triangle waveforms
– fine-tuned hardness, body and impact adjustments
– punch envelope with power and decay
– ghost mode (to simulate the sidechain compressor without the sound of the kick)
– trigger mode AU parameter
– trigger mode with external MIDI IN
________Sidechain Compressor / Ducker
– compression triggered by the kick
– threshold, ratio and makeup sliders
– attack and release for precise compression envelope
________Step Sequencer :
– up to 16 steps sequencer
– ternary and binary steps resolution from 8 to 32th.
– adjustable groove (swing)
________Audio Unit :
– All settings accessible via Audio Unit parameters
– Universal compatibility with iOS 10 or higher
– resource-efficient and low CPU usage
By using the treshold and ghost mode parameter, you also can use the BLEASS sidekick either only as a kick drum generator or only as a sidechain compressor.
BLEASS sidekick also includes a standalone version that can be used along an external audio input.

*** NOTE : this is an Audio Unit Effect Plugin (AUv3) which ideally requires a compatible host (such as AUM, Audiobus, GarageBand, BeatMaker 3, Auria or Cubasis) ***
We recommend using quality headphones or studio monitor speakers with a good frequency response
iPad Loops is an iOS music production blog dedicated to exposing the best iPad apps musicians, producers, and Djs. This is not a database of every app. It is, however, one of useful recommendations from someone with many years in music production. I try to update it on a daily basis (ok sometimes every two days) and I do my best to post useful apps only. My name is Jason Donnelly (Dj Puzzle).
Some of the apps that contain my sounds are Synth One, EG Segments, Hammerhead, Retronyms AudioCopy, Audio Evolution Mobile, and iMPC Pro. My work is published by Roland, Antares, Magix, Soundtrack Loops, Sample Logic, Acoustica, Native Instruments, The Grammt Museum and many more.
