EFX State Saving and New Effects
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , , ,

Elastic FX just added state saving in a recent update and I’m super stoked. Now you can save effects setup and automation for Elastic FX in apps like Audiobus 3 using state saving. Check out the two demo vidos I just published.

EFX is a 4 channels multi-effect processor, that’s easy and intuitive to play, but offers complex options to shape the sound and to route the audio effects stream.

Connect EFX to any input source, like the devices built in microphone, an external keyboard or guitar (iPad soundcard needed) or to your favorite iOS drum machine or synthesizer via Inter-App Audio or Audiobus. Or import a soundfile into the app and alienate it with with up to 4 different effects at the same time!

What’s New in Version 1.0.2
– New: Additional DubDelay and DualDelay
– New: Audiobus state save
– New: Audiobus Remote option to switch the 4 effect units on/off
– New: Midi learn option to switch the 4 effect units on/off
– Reworked several effects to stay „clean“ in extreme settings
– Most Reverbs got an additional PreDelay Parameter
– Tempo is independent now from presets and gets globally handled

Audio Damage Filterstation 2 For iOS
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , ,

Filterstation2 is the Audio Damage take on the classic serial/parallel/stereo dual filter topology, made famous (and some would say “indispensable”) by the Sherman Filterbank and its many clones. With twelve filter algorithms, an envelope follower with stereo sidechain input, a full FSU section for extra signal hacking, and an easy-to-use interface, Filterstation2 is a valuable addition to any producer’s toolkit.

Features

• Twelve different filter algorithms, including MS20 emulation and our classic 914 bandpass and Filterpod lowpass models.

• VCA mode for tremolo and gate effects.

• LFO with twelve different patterns, and both internal and tempo sync modes.

• Envelope follower for dynamic control of filter frequency.

• Serial, parallel, and true stereo operating modes.

• Easy-to use interface for quick programming.

• Vector-based resizable GUI. Use just the filter screen, slide the controls over it, or (in hosts that allow it) open up the whole UI.

• Cross-platform XML-based preset manager; copy your desktop presets to the iOS version using Handoff, or share them with your friends and in forums.

• Full PDF manual available at Support link.
