Moebius Lab Sampler Audio Lab For iPad
Author View comments Tags Tags: ,

Moebius Lab

Moebius Lab is a multimorphic sound processor which contains a synth, a varispeed stereo sample player, 9 time domain effects, 6 spectral effects, 7 slots for external audio application, and nearly 200 LFOs that can modulate each parameter. You can move the effects along two chains, and get endless combinations of incredible sounds. ALL the App parameters can be modulated with dedicates LFO (one independent LFO for each parameter!).

To get you started, you have more than 200 ready-mades presets.
Each effect has an in-line help with an explanation of the parameters.

The screen is divided into 3 horizontal areas: the top one contains the sound source (Sample player/External Input/Internal Synth), the middle one contains the Time Domain Effects Chain with four slots for external apps, the bottom one contains the Spectral Effects Chain. The two effect chains are connected in a sort of Moebius Ring: you can route the signal from the Time Domain Chain to the Spectral Chain and vice versa. You can even add up to 7 IAA effects and/or instruments.

Moebius Lab Screen

*** LIST OF EFFECTS (NODES) ***
– EXCITER The Exciter Node distorts the signal below (Saturation) or above (Excitation) a given frequency.
– RINGER A ring modulator with distortion and feedback.
– KLAMPER Clamps the signal with some special features.
– SWARMER A “superchorus”, excellent to create super fat synth sounds (and more). It is composed by a chain of modulated delay lines.
– FILTER The Filter node has two configurations:
Dub: dual low-pass high-pass state variable filter with resonance and overlap factor.
Morph: a triple low-pass/band-pass/high-pass state variable filter with resonance and continuous morphing between the filter types.
– SPLITDEL A dual band delay with feedback.
– REDUKTOR This node can be used to decimate and do other “bad things” to your signal.
– SHIFTER A dual band frequency shifter.
– REVERSO Plays the signal in reverse at regular rate.
– BRICKWALL A spectral brickwall filter.
– GRIP This node samples and holds spectral components of the incoming signal, based on their amplitude.
– BLUR A (noisy) “spectral reverb”. The duration of the spectral components is prolonged (blurred).
– DEGRADER A spectral decimator.
– FLUTTER Flutter is a sort of animated brickwall. Two spectral sinusoidal LFOs define the frequency boundaries. The spectral components which are inside or outside (depending on the Spectral Balance) these boundaries are suppressed.
– PLATEVERB As the name suggests this is a classic Plate Reverb.
– DYNAMICS PROCESSOR You can change the output sound using a compressor and expander effect. This is used to either reduce or expand the dynamic range of an audio signal.

THE SYNTH
The internal synth contains two band limited oscillators, a complex oscillator, a ladder filter, an envelope generator and a sub-bass oscillator.

Other Features:

– Audiobus and Inter-App Audio support (sender and FX)
– Built-In​ Stereo Sampler with varispeed
– Control Manager LFO for Parameters
– Midibus, Virtual Midi and Network: 14 bit NRPN controllers
– File Manager, sharing common audio files via iTunes, Dropbox and AudioCopy
– Snapshots Presets Morphing Pad

Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , ,

Blamsoft DC-9 Overdrive

DC-9 Overdrive is a circuit modeled overdrive plug-in that emulates the famous Ibanez® TS9 Tube Screamer. The DSP algorithms in DC-9 take into account the entire schematic, using the latest modeling techniques. This gives you an authentic analog sound that matches the character of the physical circuit.

DC-9 is an Audio Unit Extension that works inside host apps. Just open up your favorite host that supports Audio Units and add it as an effect. The controls expand when touched so they can be easily seen while tweaking. DC-9 brings the distinctive overdrive crunch to your favorite iOS DAW. Compatible with Cubasis, MTS, AUM, and Ferrite Recording Studio. Note, Audio Units are not compatible with iPad 2.

DC-9

DC-9 gets its name from the Diode Clipper circuit used to create the distortion. Accurate modeling of the clipper by circuit simulation gives DC-9 an edge over the common distortion plug- in. The effect was carefully tuned using A/B comparisons to the original stop box. Blamsoft brings their experience creating top notch plug-ins for the desktop to iOS. The same algorithm is found in the popular Rack Extension for Propellerhead Reason. You get a desktop quality algorithm at an iOS friendly price.
