Phawuo synthesizer for iOS

Phawuo is an experimental monophonic virtual-analog synth with “dirty” oscillators. Good for bass sound and effects.

New in version 3:

– OSC support
– AUv3
– Available for macOS (as a separate version); presets can be shared across devices

It features:

– Two special oscillators. Each one has two modes playing more rough (though antialiased waveforms with inharmonicity in higher pitches) or “cheezy” sound. Plays sawtooth / square waveform and is capable of pulse width modulation.

– distortion and feedback ring modulation for each oscillator
– 24 dB/octave state-variable filter (LP-BP-HP)
– two ADSR envelopes for amplitude and filter
– LFO to modulate the frequency and pulse width of oscillators’ waveforms
– Effects section: two channels of delay + frequency shifter with feedback with some flexible routing. Also includes basic reverb
– Precise parameter editing: tap and hold finger on the slider.
– Audiobus support. Now you can stream live audio directly to other Audiobus-compatible apps! See http://audiob.us for more information.
– Inter-App Audio support
– Background audio support: enabled when connected to Audiobus and user switchable otherwise.
– CoreMIDI support – virtual midi input

Eventide Effects For iOS
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , , , ,

Wow Eventide just released three AU plugin effects for iOS and I’m super stoked. Big fan of their hardware AND desktop plugins it’ll be so nice to have these on my iPad. Have a look!

Eventide Blackhole for iPad and iPhone

Create out of this world ambiance with Blackhole, a reverb effect as big as the cosmos. Blackhole breaks the rules by allowing you to create virtual spaces that could never exist in reality. At large sizes, its soft attack and lingering, harmonic tails allow it to really shine on guitars, strings, vocals and pads. At small sizes those very same qualities can add an angelic sheen to vocals or turn a simple drum track into an otherworldly rhythm section.

Features:

– Incredibly easy to use with over 80 presets; many created by Eventide artists.

– Ability to create extremely musical effects useful for highlighting key instruments.

– Supernatural settings for abstract spatial effects and drones.

– Subtle settings for ambient washes and track highlighting.

– Unique “Gravity” control reverses the arrow of time by inverting the reverb’s decay.

– Innovative Ribbon and Hotswitch allow for changing any combination of parameters simultaneously.

– Fully flexible mono and stereo options. Bring new realms of stereo imaging to mono instruments.

– Mixlock allows for scrolling through presets or settings while keeping the wet/dry mix constant.

– Available as an Audio Units AUv3 plug-in, Inter-App Audio, and Standalone App.

Eventide Ultratap for iPhone and iPad

UltraTap is a unique multi-tap effect capable of rhythmic delays, glitchy reverbs, huge pad-like volume swells and extraordinary modulation. It’s the perfect tool for creating drum fills, vocal choruses, swelling guitar chords and other evolving effects — everything from reversed reverbs to a massed church choir singing a Gregorian chant in Notre-Dame Cathedral.

Features:

– Use up to 64 taps to create simple repeats or morph delays into choruses and reverbs.

– Speed up or slow down the rhythmic spacing between taps using the Spread knob.

– Use the onboard LFOs and envelopes to chop the sound source into stuttered rhythms.

– Use the innovative “Slurm” control to smear taps together or modulate them to create truly unique reverbs.

– Control the stereo image of taps to alternate between hard-panned and mono.

– Over 150 presets designed to inspire; including artist presets by Chris Carter, Colin Newman, Sasha and many more.

– Innovative Ribbon and Hotswitch allow for changing any combination of parameters simultaneously.

– Use Mix Lock to scroll through presets while keeping the wet-dry mix constant.

– Available as an Audio Units AUv3 plug-in, Inter-App Audio, and Standalone App.

Eventide Micropitch for iPhone and iPad

MicroPitch is a fine-resolution pitch shifter for subtle tone fattening, plus delays for interesting slap back effects. With origins in the legendary Eventide H3000 Harmonizer®, MicroPitch is the effect that put Eventide on the map. The plug-in allows mixing in detuned and delayed versions of a signal creating depth and dimensions not possible before with expanded controls for deep pitch dives, haunting echoes, and pristine chorusing effects.

Eventide Micropitch Audio Unit iOS

Features:

– Two voices of pitch shifting, one from unison to -50 cents, the other from unison to +50 cents, each with up to 2 seconds of delay.

– Create classic stereo-spreading effect.

– Create slapback effects using longer delay times.

– Mod Depth and Rate provide chorusing effect on each voice.

– Use Feedback to perform pitch dive or rise effects.

– Incredibly easy use with included presets.

– Innovative Ribbon allow for changing any combination of parameters simultaneously.

– Use Mix Lock to scroll through presets while keeping the wet-dry mix constant.

The three effect racks provide insert slots for different stages of the processing.

Pre rack

Applies effects before the delay loop.

Loop rack

Applies effects to the delay loop. Those effects will be applied to the input signal each delay bounce.

Post rack

Effects after the delay delay loop.

Available FX inserts

• Panner – Auto panning effect.

• Delay – Digital stereo delay

• Chorus – Classic chorus

• Flanger – Flanger with feedback, tone, speed, mix and amount

• Phaser – Classic phaser with the option to decide how many stages to be used

• Reverb – Digital reverb

• Vibrato – A stereo vibrato with reshapeable curve

• Tremolo – A stereo tremolo with reshapeable curve

• Equalizer – Low cut, high cut and two shelf filters

• Compressor – Simple one-knob compressor

• Booster – Signal booster (gain, bass and treble)

• Distortion – Simple distortion pedal with tone control

• Filter – Classic resonant low and highpass filter

Full documentation available inside the app or at https://klevgrand.se/downloads/modley-docs/

Audio examples and more info at https://klevgrand.se/products/stark

Obs! Modley consumes a lot of CPU and RAM, so if you’re having trouble using multiple instances at the same time, try to freeze some tracks and/or increase the buffer size.

Modley is an AUv3 plugin that only works in an AUv3 compliant host like Garageband, AUM, Cubasis, Beatmaker 3, Auria etc.
