M/S Processing Mid/Side level adjustments and EQ
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , ,

Mid Side Level EQ

M/S Proc is a tool for M/S Processing that enables Mid/Side level adjustments and EQ.

***What is M/S Processing?***
While standard audio processing is done through the Left and Right(L、R) channels, M/S processing divides elements into those at the center(Mid) and those on the left or right(Side). For example, it allows you to adjust the effect of the centrally located vocals or make nuanced changes to the width of the mix.
In addition, tracks with sound pressure levels raised to the maximum in stereo processing can often be found to have additional headroom in the Sides when separated into M/S elements. This means you can increase the sound pressure just by enhancing the Sides.
M/S Proc allows individual level adjustment and EQ processing for Mid and Side channels.

ON SALE for LIMITED TIME (50% OFF)!!

***Main features***
+ Mid/Side level adjustment.
+ Mid/Side EQ control with three bands (High, Mid, Low). The Mid is a parametric equalizer.
+ In addition to standalone usage, compatible with Audiobus and Inter-App Audio. Can be combined with other apps.
+ Can adjust sounds brought in from external devices and apps. Also works with WAV and AIFF formats.
If applying to files, you can export your processed tracks as a WAV file.
Exported files can be exported to other apps using the “Open In” function.
+ Also lets you import files from other apps (“Open In” function)
+ You can also import tracks from your Music Library.
+ Presets allow you to save your parameter settings in the file.
+ A universal app that can be used with both iPhone/iPad.

***Other uses***
Although M/S processing is most often used for mastering, in principle by lowering the Mid you can apply a “center cancel.” In this way you can prepare tracks for karaoke or “learning by ear.”
We also recommend sending your file to mimiCopy, our “learning by ear” music player app.

Tutorial: Process External Synths Through Model 15
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , ,

Moog Model 15

The following video tutorial will show you how to patch external synths (other iOS synthes and apps) through the Model 15 synthesizer by Moog using Audiobus. In this case you see the output source as Audiobus input and the Model 15 input as Audiobus output.

You might want to for example run an app through the Model 15 filter. This is how you can route the signal into Model 15 using Audiobus.

The Moog Model 15 App is the first Moog modular synthesizer and synthesis educational tool created exclusively for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.

Each facet of the Moog Model 15 modular synthesizer has been meticulously recreated in this application to ensure the power and transcendent sound quality of each module remains intact. The character, harmonic complexity and mystique of the Moog Model 15’s modules, from the legendary Moog 921–series oscillators and 904A Low Pass Filter, to the coveted 907 Fixed Filter Bank have been painstakingly preserved.

In order to develop the most immersive and expressive modular interface possible, the Model 15 App has been designed utilizing Apple’s new Metal advanced graphics engine. This ensures that all zooming, panning and modular patching throughout the application feels completely natural, something that would have been impossible otherwise.

The Model 15 App features both monophonic and 4-voice polyphonic operation is easily commanded via 4 seamlessly integrated controllers. Simple swipes and taps provide instant access to a traditional Moog keyboard, 1150 ribbon controller, 8-step sequencing arpeggiator and the award-winning Animoog keyboard with 22 built-in scales and polyphonic modulation capabilities.

Also included are extended features which expand the capabilities of the app beyond the traditional offerings of the hardware Moog Model 15. These include total MIDI integration, assignment for external control, use as a MIDI controller, dedicated Audio Bridge and MIDI Bridge modules, looping recorder module with overdubbing, a master ping-pong delay module and a new extension cabinet that includes additional amplifiers and voltage-controlled reversible attenuators that can be used for effects like ring-modulation.

Because the Model 15 App utilizes Apple’s Metal technology, only 64-bit devices are supported. Compatible devices include iPhone 5s or newer, iPod touch 6 or newer, iPad Air or newer, and the iPad Pro.

The Model 15 App requires iOS version 9.3 or later to work.

Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , ,

CHAiOS Synth 2

CHAiOS SYNTH 2 is a synthesizer/melody generator that creates unique melodies with just one tap!
Place your finger on the main screen and a melody is generated by the CHAiOS algorithm.
If this melody sounds good, it can be looped and the sound can be tweaked using a number of parameters and effects. Or just swipe your finger and CHAiOS SYNTH 2 creates new melodies.
The options to modify the sound are carefully selected to work well together and provide a creative and fun workflow.

CHAiOS SYNTH 2 is a further development of the free and easy-to-use CHAiOS SYNTH, which was formerly developed at the University of Applied Sciences Duesseldorf. The new version is beefed up by a number of new features and improvements. Now CHAiOS SYNTH 2 has become a full professional synthesizer while staying as intuitive and uncomplicated as its predecessor.

With support for Inter-App Audio and Audiobus CHAiOS SYNTH 2 can be used together with other audio apps on iPad.

What’s New in Version 2.1

Introducing the new feature “SETS”: It’s a very easy and convenient way to store your sounds, loops and beats in up to eight sets. Use “SETS” to come back to the sounds you’ve created even after restarting CHAiOS SYNTH 2 or save different parts of your song and switch between them even while playing!

Watch this video to see how to use “SETS”:

Main features:
– 16 Step melody generator with unique random algorithm
– Wavetable oscillator with three different waveforms
