New in Patterning 2.1.2 :
The polyphony parameter determines how many instances of an instrument can be playing at the same time. The options are MONO and POLY. When set to MONO, only one voice can play a time per track. This can be used to cut short longer samples when they re-triggered. In POLY mode (default), up to 32 voices can be playing at the same time.
Patterning 2 is the next generation of the award winning circular drum machine. Create beats like never before in a fun, intuitive interface that is both easy to use and deep with features for the experienced producer.
Elastic Drums got a major update with a feature people were asking for a long time already:
With update 2.3 you can now route up to 6 Elastic Drums channels separately into your preferred InterApp Audio host, to use InterApp Audio or AUv3 effects on top of them. You might want to add some great sounding reverbs or delay on a synth of Elastic Drums, or you might want to add some extra compression to the kick, a great room effect on the snare, whatever … with the free update you can do that now 🙂
What many people love about Elastic Drums is, that it already comes with tons of great internal effects (2×13 Mono, 2×11 Stereo), which are playable in a very creative way via the built in XY pad (Kaoss Pad style) and that you can automate/record your tweakings even. But now with Eventide entering the iOS platform with 3 effects, iOS effects are definitely becoming studio-quality. With update 2.3 you can still use Elastic Drums internal effects and go crazy on the XY pad, but now you can also combine that with an Eventide Blackhole reverb on a channel of your choice. When you route an individual channel directly to the host, this channels gets disconnected form ED’s master out and from ED’s effects, to avoid phase shifting effects and audio chaos. Sounds complicated? It’s not not at all …
Version History
2.3 Jul 18, 2019
– Multiple outputs for Inter-App Audio sessions: In Inter-App Audio sessions you can now route the 6 instrument channels of Elastic Drums to external outputs, to add additional effects to them. When routed to an external output the signal is removed from the master output.
Wow Eventide just released three AU plugin effects for iOS and I’m super stoked. Big fan of their hardware AND desktop plugins it’ll be so nice to have these on my iPad. Have a look!
Create out of this world ambiance with Blackhole, a reverb effect as big as the cosmos. Blackhole breaks the rules by allowing you to create virtual spaces that could never exist in reality. At large sizes, its soft attack and lingering, harmonic tails allow it to really shine on guitars, strings, vocals and pads. At small sizes those very same qualities can add an angelic sheen to vocals or turn a simple drum track into an otherworldly rhythm section.
Features:
– Incredibly easy to use with over 80 presets; many created by Eventide artists.
– Ability to create extremely musical effects useful for highlighting key instruments.
– Supernatural settings for abstract spatial effects and drones.
– Subtle settings for ambient washes and track highlighting.
– Unique “Gravity” control reverses the arrow of time by inverting the reverb’s decay.
– Innovative Ribbon and Hotswitch allow for changing any combination of parameters simultaneously.
– Fully flexible mono and stereo options. Bring new realms of stereo imaging to mono instruments.
– Mixlock allows for scrolling through presets or settings while keeping the wet/dry mix constant.
– Available as an Audio Units AUv3 plug-in, Inter-App Audio, and Standalone App.
UltraTap is a unique multi-tap effect capable of rhythmic delays, glitchy reverbs, huge pad-like volume swells and extraordinary modulation. It’s the perfect tool for creating drum fills, vocal choruses, swelling guitar chords and other evolving effects — everything from reversed reverbs to a massed church choir singing a Gregorian chant in Notre-Dame Cathedral.
Features:
– Use up to 64 taps to create simple repeats or morph delays into choruses and reverbs.
– Speed up or slow down the rhythmic spacing between taps using the Spread knob.
– Use the onboard LFOs and envelopes to chop the sound source into stuttered rhythms.
– Use the innovative “Slurm” control to smear taps together or modulate them to create truly unique reverbs.
– Control the stereo image of taps to alternate between hard-panned and mono.
– Over 150 presets designed to inspire; including artist presets by Chris Carter, Colin Newman, Sasha and many more.
– Innovative Ribbon and Hotswitch allow for changing any combination of parameters simultaneously.
– Use Mix Lock to scroll through presets while keeping the wet-dry mix constant.
– Available as an Audio Units AUv3 plug-in, Inter-App Audio, and Standalone App.
MicroPitch is a fine-resolution pitch shifter for subtle tone fattening, plus delays for interesting slap back effects. With origins in the legendary Eventide H3000 Harmonizer®, MicroPitch is the effect that put Eventide on the map. The plug-in allows mixing in detuned and delayed versions of a signal creating depth and dimensions not possible before with expanded controls for deep pitch dives, haunting echoes, and pristine chorusing effects.
Features:
– Two voices of pitch shifting, one from unison to -50 cents, the other from unison to +50 cents, each with up to 2 seconds of delay.
– Create classic stereo-spreading effect.
– Create slapback effects using longer delay times.
– Mod Depth and Rate provide chorusing effect on each voice.
– Use Feedback to perform pitch dive or rise effects.
– Incredibly easy use with included presets.
– Innovative Ribbon allow for changing any combination of parameters simultaneously.
– Use Mix Lock to scroll through presets while keeping the wet-dry mix constant.
– Available as an Audio Units AUv3 plug-in, Inter-App Audio, and Standalone App.
