Poseidon Synth – The Ocean of Sound

For all creatures in the ocean of sound – Sonic textures from other worlds, Analog signature sounds, Cut-through-the-mix leads and silkily smooth pads: Poseidon sets a new standard for sound design and ease of use. All of this was made possible through a combination of the familiar, conceptual simplicity of the analog synthesis and our frequency domain based Spectral modelling synthesis technology.

What’s New:
– AUv3 AudioUnit with parameter automation (requires iOS10)
– Pole/Zero filter randomiser

Spectral model oscillator

Select a basic sound model from over hundred delivered with Poseidon. The basic sound model determines the sound characteristic you want to start: taking a artificial model like “Sawtooth” gives you analog style sounds. Use complex models from analyzed samples for earth shaking ambients and evolving pads.

Model parameters

High level controls allow for changing the spectral shape, the harmonicity and balances the level of residual noise and spectral amount of the oscillator model.

F-Domain Filter

The newly developed F-Domain filter allow for drastic changes in the resulting sound spectrum. Five filter types including lowpass/highpass characteristic can be used to shape the sound. They have the usual controls like cutoff but also very unusual ones like a variable slope ranging from 0 dB to 72 dB / Octave and independent controls for resonance and bandwidth! This kind of controls are only possible in the context of our F-Domain synthesis technology. This results in an extremely clear filter sound with breathtaking fast modulation possibilities.

The filter type “Inverse” interprets the sound model as a “Source” and a resonant body “Filter”. The cutoff parameter shifts the filterbase – this is the equivalent to making the instrument body smaller or bigger.

Spatializer

This simple control gives your sound a distinctive moving distribution in the stereo panorama. Every atomic sound particle has it´s own path through the space !

Sound browser

The sound browser in Poseidon gives you a fast selection of sounds based on category and timbre.

Auxy Studio Big Update
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , ,

Auxy is designed to remove friction and make sure technology won’t stop you from being creative. Our goal is to help you develop as a producer and turn your musical ideas into finished tracks. Real tracks that people want to dance to.

Introducing a redesigned scene view and a number of improvements to simplify track making:
– The scene view can now be open while you arrange loops
– New play controls let you skip between scenes and toggle loop mode on/off without opening the scene view
– Loop and scene previews have been redesigned to make things easier to find
– Loops can now be labeled
– New color options added for instruments
– Each row of loops now fills the entire screen width
– Loops that are not active in any scene will get slightly dimmed and thereby easier to find if you want to delete unused loops in a project
– You can now solo an instrument while while you tweak the sound
– Sound tweaks can now be accessed in the loop editor
– Long-press a sample slot to copy and paste it
– Tap the tempo slider to change the tempo one BPM at a time
– The maximum tempo has been increase to 300 BPM
– Exported stems and MIDI files should now have proper names

Please note that the export options have been moved to the settings page!

Also note that we have replaced the original demo sounds with a smaller set of “free” sounds. The main reason is that we want to increase the quality of the sounds that new users get to test. We also want to make it clear that Auxy is a premium app and we are committed to building an awesome experience for paying users. Thank you all for supporting!

Audio Damage ADverb2 AUv3

Audio Damage ADverb2 for ios

ADverb2 is an accurate model of a vintage digital plate reverb rack unit from the 80s, with a few modern tricks up its sleeve. From short, thick, rich reverbs ideal for drums on up to incredibly long heavily chorused, echoey spaces perfect for ambient music, ADverb2 is an excellent addition to your sonic toolkit.

ADverb2 works as a stand-alone effect, with Inter-App Audio, but we recommend its use as an AUv3 plugin in a host that supports the format like Beatmaker 3, AUM, Cubasis, GarageBand, etc.

Adverb2 for iOS

» Simple-to-use reverb settings, with pre-delay, time, and size, plus an extensive filtering section to shape the reverb tail.

» Logical vintage-style user interface, vector-based for resizability and future-proofing.

» XML-based cross-platform preset manager, with copy and paste. (You can even move presets between the iOS version and the desktop version with Handoff.)

» Optimized reverb algorithm for low CPU load.

Pen2Bow Controller Update
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , ,

Pen2Bow is a violin bow MIDI controller using the Apple Pencil on the iPad. It recognizes linear as well as circular pencil motion and generates bow movement from the user input. Circular motion enables the infinite extension of the bow that otherwise would be limited in length. This frees the user from constantly thinking about performing bow changes in order to prevent the bow from running out. Intended bow changes are accurately recognized and included in the midi output. We are calling this type of device an infinity bow controller and believe it is one of the very few, if not the only practical MIDI input device for bowed instruments. For more information please watch the videos on the App Support website.

What’s New
Apr 22, 2018 Version 1.0.2

– Added a settings page. It includes sensitivity and range adjustment for the 4 MIDI controllers.

– Added a touch piano keyboard. Virtual instruments can now be played without the need for an external MIDI keyboard.

– Added a refresh button for the MIDI device list. Pen2Bow no longer needs to be restarted in order to detect new MIDI devices.

Pen2Bow takes full advantage of the sensors in the Apple Pencil and generates 4 continuous MIDI controllers: Velocity, Force, Tilt and Orientation. These can be used to drive virtual instruments such as violins or synthesizers.

Pen2Bow is CoreMIDI compliant. It can control virtual instruments that run on the same iPad as well as virtual instruments that run on a separate computer. There are various ways to connect the iPad to a computer. This can be done either with an external MIDI interface, wirelessly over WiFi, or directly over USB. Please consult the App Support website on how to establish a MIDI connection between an iPad and a computer.

The software is optimized for minimal latency which amounts to about 10ms on the iPad Pro 10.5-inch and 12.9-inch(2.gen) and 20ms on the iPad (6.gen), iPad Pro 9.7-inch and 12.9-inch(1.gen). Pen2Bow fully utilizes the high resolution positional information at 240Hz provided by the Apple Pencil to estimate robust bow velocities.
