Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , ,

Analog tape echo app

RE-1 is a full featured virtual Tape Machine capable of delivering authentic tape based echo and chorus effects but it doesn’t stop there. With it’s interactive tape player, sample, loop and overdub features it’s possible to use it like a virtual tape recorder, sample player, looper or simply as a master effect.

What’s new in RE-1 Tape Machine v1.1.1:
– Added support for direct sample import via document picker
– Added support for MIDI transport control (start/stop)
– Fixed an issue where setting the tempo below 30bpm while looping would cause a crash in both, standalone and AUv3 mode.
– Fixed an issue where on iPhone info popovers could not be closed
– Fixed an issue where the app would crash when accessing the sample library on a device running iOS11 or older.

Overview:
– Virtual Tape deck including 3 individually controllable read heads, variable delay time and feedback
– Interactive user interface and realtime visualisation of various parameters related to the tape simulation
– Dedicated controls for Wow, Flutter, Color, Tape Hiss & saturation amount
– Tape Loop mode with overdub, tape reverse and time-stretching
– Sample/Loop library loads wave files onto the virtual tape loop
– Transport and Tempo Sync
– Stereo Spread & Stereo Panner
– Input processing: Highpass filter
– Output processing: 2 band eq

Tape Echo:
– Authentic tape echo emulation
– Multi-tap delay with 3 individually controllable read heads
– Color Control adjusts the echo’s tone from dark to bright
– Delay Time: 5ms – 1000ms (or 1/32th to 1/1)

– Tape Hiss and Saturation
– Stereo spread
– Stereo panner

Looper / Sample Player:
– Uses the tape like a traditional looper with unlimited overdubs
– Configurable Loop length with 1 – 8 bars and tempo sync and tape reverse
– Tape transport can be linked to the host’s transport controls
– Time stretching keeps loops in sync
– Samples/loops can be loaded onto the tape directly
– Samples can be created from the tape loop and stored in the sample library at any time
– Factory content includes a variety of loops grouped by style
– Samples/loops can be imported from and exported to other apps

QuantiChord Chord app for iOS

QuantiChord Chord generator app for iOS

“QuantiChord” is a MIDI effect that generates chords from incoming notes and quantizes the results to a pre-defined scale. It can be used as a standalone application or as an Audio Unit MIDI effect plug-in.

The chord is generated by adding up to 8 transposed notes to the original note played. Once the chord is generated, it is quantized to limit it to the selected output scale.

The application supports full internal and external MIDI connections for input and output. An internal sound bank is included.

The Audio Unit MIDI effect plug-in supports multiple instances. A compatible host is required to run the plug-in. The host must support the Audio Unit MIDI effect format.

Features:

• Standalone application and Audio Unit MIDI effect plug-in
• 8 transposing sliders from -24 to +24 semi-tones (+/- 2 octaves)
• 1 global transposer slider
• Scale quantizer
• Lockable parameter protection when switching presets
• Resizable keyboard
• Multitasking
• Sample-accurate timing
• Internal sound bank
• Receiving MIDI from external MIDI sources
• Internal routing of inputs, outputs
• Send MIDI to a virtual port that can be used as MIDI input by other “Core MIDI” compatible applications
• Random creation of presets
• Presets browser
• Full support of “Split View” and “Slide Over”

Compatible hosts supporting Audio Unit MIDI effect:

• Cubasis
• Audiobus
• AUM
• BeatMaker
• apeMatrix

Supported MIDI connections:

• Virtual “Core MIDI” connections between applications
• iOS compatible MIDI interfaces
• MIDI over Wifi

Requirements:

An iPad or iPhone with iOS 12 or later

Midi Echo AU Midi FX

Midi Echo midi effects for iOS

Midi Echo AUv3 Midi Fx Note : AUv3 midi apps need a compatible host (AUM,Audiobus 3, Cubasis, BM3 etc).

So what is a midi echo? It is similar to the audio echo effect where copies of the original audio are repeated at regular time intervals but with some form of change (e.g. quieter). But unlike audio, midi is digital in nature (low resolution 8 bit mostly) and focused around the midi note on & off message used to control synths etc.

This app acts on midi note-on independently from the note-off but when the note – off appears it echoes the release of the note-on in the same way the note-on was echoed (pitch interval etc) even if the UI controls have changed.

UI Controls exist to allow you to:
* Select the type of echo (fixed, ping pong, taper)
* Vary the number of echoes (from 0 to 20)
* Make echoes quieter by reducing the midi velocity
* Define the pitch interval (semitone) of all successive echoes
* Select the delay time between echoes either tempo sync or in mSec
* Define the delay type (fixed, tempo, random 50, random 20)
* Set the midi channel of echoes (1-16) so that other synths can select the echo only
* Disable individual echoes – to allow you to play chords with a small or 0 delay
* Set Midi thru to keep/remove the original note messages
* Panic button to quickly turn off all notes
* Setup control automation as all controls are AU Parameters

Fluxpad Adds Song Mode
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , ,

fluXpad is the first sample sequencer that fully functions by simply drawing the sounds. In fluXpad it’s super simple to record your own sounds, to create different pattern and to jam with them.
fluXpad is a sample based groovebox/workstation app with a highly original sequencer, where you “draw“ your music, which leads to completely different results, when compared to a traditional sequencer. The y-axis of your canvas controls pitch, while the x-axis controls the sustain of your notes. Sounds familiar, but drawing on a canvas without any grid is a totally new experience. Of course it is possible to quantize your notes, or you can limit your note range to major or minor scales.

2Oct 18, 2018

This version includes the first iteration of a song mode! Interconnect sequences to create longer loops!
There are also a couple of bugs fixed:
– IAA support is fixed
– AudioShare import should work again
– some stability improvements

Demo by Mouse On Mars!

fluXpad has been developed by Mouse on Mars and Jan T. v. Falkenstein

Features:
– 6 melody sequencers where you paint your melodies based on a sample of your choice
– 1 percussion/drum sequencer where you paint/tap your groove made of 7 samples of your choice
– record mode: either paint your sequence (on the top) or tap your notes (at the bottom)
– each sound has its own sampler settings with unique envelope, loop and start settings
– quantize / unquantize functions for each sequencer or the whole pattern
– 7 patterns to jam with, for each preset
– ability to record your own samples with the build in microphone
– import samples via iTunes or AudioShare
– huge sample library with high quality sounds/kits made by Mouse on Mars and others
– lots of demo projects made by Mouse and Mars and others
– ability to buy new projects/sounds via In-App-Purchase
– ability to export/backup your projects (including sounds)
– Audiobus supported
– IAA sync supported
– Ableton Link supported
– ability to sync via midi to other apps, hardware
