Pure Acid is a top quality bassline synthesizer and drum machine in one app! Inspired by classic hardware bassline synthesizers and rhythm machines, which changed musical world back in 80’s, like the legendary TB-303 synthesizer, TR-808 / 707 / 909 rhythm boxes and their numerous replicas, Pure Acid is designed to bring back the feeling of retro analog gear in every detail in terms of sound, as well as to provide new functions previously unavailable in the original devices to make your music creation workflow fast and fun! A large number of factory preset patterns will immerse you into an exciting world of Acid House, Techno, Hardcore and Big Beat music genres, which will inspire you to create your own basslines and rhythms for your compositions!
You can use Pure Acid app as a ready-to-go realtime musical instrument (groove box) in your jam sessions together with Ableton Link to synchronize it with the rest of your music gear. Its bassline editing system and randomization options will be handy to create unique groovy basslines easily. Realtime master effects with XY-pad controls can add expression to your live performance. You can also use Pure Acid with AudioBus, AUM or other IAA-supporting apps to create complex and interesting sound setups.
UPDATE:
– AUv3 support added: a fully featured Pure Acid is now an Audio Unit!
– fixed crash which occurs when using both midi inputs simultaneously (in AUM);
– Ableton Link behaviour fixed not to change existing session tempo upon connect;
– fixed: LFO led indicator was not displaying lfo rate correctly;
– colors: data entry knob and On/Off button color can now be changed;
– other bug fixes, improvements.

The multi-band delay BandDelay is an exciting tool for sound design and loop manipulation in realtime. In contrast to common delay processors BandDelay splits the frequency spectrum of the input signal into 27 bands and applies a separate delay unit to each band. The delay times can be synchronised to the host tempo generating nearly infinite rhythmical and sonic variations of the input signal. For each of the delay bands you can specify the delay time, the level and the feedback amount separately. These parameter changes can even be automised in realtime for glitch free rhythmical morphings. A few high level parameters let you change the delay times and feedbacks of all delays with the turn of a single knob.
– 27 band realtime multiband delay.
– Frequency dependent level, delay time and feedback
– Linear phase precision filters for maximal transparency
– Tempo syncable delay times up to 6 seconds.
– Meta parameter for quick access to rhythm variations
– Effect AudioUnit for use in hosts like Garageband, Cubasis, AUM and others
– Full AU parameter automation
– Ableton Link compatible
– stand alone / Audiobus 3 / IAA

!!! Attention: Please be aware that existing IAA and Audiobus sessions won’t work anymore !!!
When using your existing Audiobus 3 session that uses Effectrix IAA, you need to save within Effectrix the corresponding presets you’ve made BEFORE you start the update to version 1.5.0!
Likewise, when loading an existing Audiobus 3 session that uses Effectrix IAA, you just need to make sure you recall the corresponding preset manually via the internal preset browser of Effectrix when using the AUv3 version.
iPad Loops is an iOS music production blog dedicated to exposing the best iPad apps musicians, producers, and Djs. This is not a database of every app. It is, however, one of useful recommendations from someone with many years in music production. I try to update it on a daily basis (ok sometimes every two days) and I do my best to post useful apps only. My name is Jason Donnelly (Dj Puzzle).
Some of the apps that contain my sounds are Synth One, EG Segments, Hammerhead, Retronyms AudioCopy, Audio Evolution Mobile, and iMPC Pro. My work is published by Roland, Antares, Magix, Soundtrack Loops, Sample Logic, Acoustica, Native Instruments, The Grammt Museum and many more.
