Knorr Bass Exciter App

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.

Virsyn Matrix Vocoder For iOS

Matrix Vocoder transforms your voice into an electronic instrument! The Vocoder was invented by Homer Dudley in the mid-30’s of the last century. Dudley worked at Bell Laboratories, and this is where the first Vocoder took shape.

The Matrix Vocoder is designed to properly simulate the classic analog Vocoder sound made famous e.g. by the music of the german band Kraftwerk. At there last world tour they used in fact the PC version of our Matrix Vocoder on stage !

The basic function of a Vocoder is characterised by an analysis of the input signal, usually speech but other type of inputs can also be very interesting. In a special filter bank, a spectral analysis is performed and signals are developed which follows the amount of spectral energy in each channel. Another part of the analyser tests if there are unvoiced or voiced sounds at any particular time and extracts the pitch of the voiced sounds.

The output section of the vocoder consists of a stereophonic synthesis filter bank which assembles the new synthetic speech from the characteristic filter envelopes from the analysis stage together with an external or internal replacement signal.

– 32 channel Filterbank with 8-pole Butterworth analog filters

– Stereophonic synthesis with analog modelled alias free oscillators.

– External carrier possible ( left channel = voice / right channel = carrier )

– Voiced/Unvoiced detection

– Pitch tracking

– Formant shift

– Matrix uses patchbay to connect analysis and synthesis channels.

– Pan position and level for each channel.

– 16 internal oscillators with unlimited voices for choir like sounds.

– Stereo wide panorama parameter for internal generator.

– Optional monophonic generator with Glide setting.

– Internal noise generator.

– Effect AudioUnit and Music Effect AudioUnit

– stand alone / Audiobus 3 / IAA

Playbeat groove randomizer app for iOS

Playbeat is a creative groove randomizer plugin that generates beats and patterns for you.

Unlike an ordinary step sequencer, Playbeat creates patterns using algorithmic and random procedures for generating notes by combining Steps, Pitch and Volume.

Load, or import your own sounds and generate up to four patterns simultaneously to get polyrhythms. You can generate as many patterns as you want and never get the same one twice. That’s because there is essentially an infinite number of different possible combinations.

New ways of creating grooves help to break new ground in music and sound design

Quick-fire Unique Rhythm patterns and discover New ways of creating beats on the spot.

Playbeat has been designed to promote music creation both in studio and live performance with a simple and convenient user interface. Endlessly variable and Endlessly interesting.

Playbeat comes also as AUv3 plug-in and supports Ableton Link for tight sync between apps on the same network and MIDI Support.

Analogue synth audio unit for iOS

K-One is a classic, warm analog synth AUv3 app for iOS made in Audiokit.

Features:

Over 75 bespoke presets, made in consultation with some of the top music producers in the UK.
30 parameters for complete creative control. All mappable when used as an Auv3 audio unit.
K-One is based around four oscillators – a pulse wave, morphing sine-sawtooth wave, square sub and a noise oscillator.
A smooth, Moog-style resonant low pass filter, which can be modulated with its own envelope as well as via LFO.
5 different effects, including overdrive, delay, reverb and two custom made choruses, which give a deep, richness to the sound.
A non-resonant highpass filter.
Two ADSR envelopes for modulating the amp and filter.
Capable of an uncapped amount of polyphonic voices, or switch to the fat mono mode for basses and leads.
Pitch bend control.
A 127 note on-screen keyboard.
Compatible with Audiobus, Inter-App Audio, AUv3 and external midi control.
