Virtual ANS Version 3

Virtual ANS 3 For iPad

Virtual ANS is a software simulator of the unique Russian synthesizer ANS – photoelectronic musical instrument created by Evgeny Murzin from 1938 to 1958. The ANS made it possible to draw music in the form of a spectrogram (sonogram), without live instruments and performers. It was used by Stanislav Kreichi, Alfred Schnittke, Edward Artemiev and other Soviet composers in their experimental works. You can also hear the sound of the ANS in Andrei Tarkovsky’s movies Solaris, The Mirror, Stalker.

The simulator extends the capabilities of the original instrument. Now it’s a full-featured graphics editor where you can convert sound into an image, load and play pictures, draw microtonal/spectral music and create some unusual deep atmospheric sounds. This app is for everyone who loves experiments and is looking for something new.

Key features:
* unlimited number of pure tone generators;
* powerful sonogram editor – you can draw the spectrum and play it at the same time;
* any sound (from a WAV file or a Microphone/Line-in) can be converted to image (sonogram) and vice versa;
* support for MIDI devices;
* polyphonic synth mode with MIDI mapping;
* supported file formats: WAV (only uncompressed PCM), PNG, JPEG, GIF;
* Audio Unit Extension (AUv3), Audiobus;
* many new features compared to version 2.3; see the full list: http://warmplace.ru/soft/ans/changelog.txt

Bleass Sidekick Sidechain Compressor

The BLEASS sidekick AUv3 is the world’s first iOS AUv3 effect plugin that offers a kick drum synth and sequencer coupled with a sidechain compressor in order to bring unique and creative dynamics to your music!

All music producers alike will enjoy the instant pumping effect in the mix and the fully customizable kick drum sonic impact brought by the BLEASS sidekick Audio Unit plugin.

Inspired by the classic 808 analog sound as well as many other legendary drum machines, the drum synth features extensive and precise parameters to get punchy / boomy / drum kick sounds:

– kick tuning, decay and volume

– sinus to triangle waveforms

– fine-tuned hardness, body and impact adjustments

– punch envelope with power and decay

– ghost mode (to simulate the sidechain compressor without the sound of the kick)

– trigger mode AU parameter

________Sidechain Compressor / Ducker

– compression triggered by the kick

– threshold, ratio and makeup sliders

– attack and release for precise compression envelope

________Step Sequencer :

– up to 16 steps sequencer

– ternary and binary steps resolution from 8 to 32th.

– adjustable groove (swing)

________Audio Unit :

– All settings accessible via Audio Unit parameters

– Universal compatibility with iOS 10 or higher

– resource-efficient and low CPU usage

By using the treshold and ghost mode parameter, you also can use the BLEASS sidekick either only as a kick drum generator or only as a sidechain compressor.

BLEASS sidekick also includes a standalone version that can be used along an external audio input.
