Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , ,

 

Bring vintage audio to your music! Mr. Lo-Fi transforms any track with authentic cassette, VHS, vinyl, and vintage digital modes—all with a single, easy-to-use knob.

**Mr. Lo-Fi: The Ultimate Vintage Vibe**

Step back in time and infuse your audio with the unmistakable character of yesterday. Introducing Mr. Lo-Fi, the definitive audio processor for adding authentic vintage charm to your music and sound projects. With its deceptively simple single-knob design, you can instantly dial in classic lo-fi textures, from the warm wobble of cassette tapes to the crunchy artifacts of early digital gear.

 

**The Big Knob**

At the heart of Mr. Lo-Fi is the Macro Control Knob. One turn is all it takes to transform your pristine audio into a nostalgic masterpiece. But don’t let the simplicity fool you – beneath the surface lies a powerful engine meticulously crafted to simulate the soul of vintage hardware.

**Four Iconic Eras at Your Fingertips**

Explore a universe of lo-fi sound with four distinct playback modes:

* **Cassette:** Relive the glory days of analog mixtapes with warm saturation, tape hiss, and subtle pitch variations.
* **VHS:** Add the unique, wobbly audio character of classic videotapes to your tracks.
* **Vinyl:** Recreate the timeless sound of records, complete with authentic crackles, pops, and the gentle hum of a turntable.
* **Vintage Digital:** Journey back to the dawn of digital audio with bit-crushed textures, sample rate reduction, and the signature sound of early microprocessors.
**Speaker Emulations**

Audition your lo-fi creations through four classic speaker modes:

* **Studio:** A clean, flat reference for accurate monitoring.
* **Hi-Fi:** The sound of a classic 80s/90s home stereo system.
* **Boombox:** The punchy, mid-focused sound of a portable cassette player.
* **Television:** The characteristic audio of a vintage CRT television set.

**Fine-Tune Your Vibe**

Ready to go deeper? Sculpt your sound with precision using our advanced controls:

* **Noise:** Dial in the perfect amount of hiss, hum, and crackle.
* **Warble:** Control the pitch instability for everything from subtle flutter to extreme tape chew.
* **H-Control:** A unique creative parameter that shapes different artifacts depending on the selected mode – from crossover distortion and tape dropouts to digital jitter.

Whether you’re a music producer chasing that chill lo-fi hip-hop sound, a film composer adding period-accurate audio, or a sound designer creating unique textures, Mr. Lo-Fi is your secret weapon for instant vibe.

Beepstreet Combuster Resonator App
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , ,

Combustor is a unique, wild resonating body fashioned to spice up or extremely transform your tracks. At the heart of Combustor is a custom time bending resonator that doesn’t sound like anything you have heard before. You can create anything from vibrant, distorted texture, perfectly suited for “hardcore” electronic musicians, to subtle physical resonance, which is often lacking in synthesized sounds.

Combustor contains an envelope follower, to create dynamic-controlled pitch or filter sweeps. It also has MIDI input, that controls resonator’s pitch, to make something melodic and organic out of non-melodic sounds, like drums. With just a few knob turns, a boring sound can be turned into screaming madness that sounds like it went out of control. A simple and straightforward interface makes Combustor a performative tool that allows you to directly interact with your sound.

*** Note: Combustor is an Audio Unit effect extension and requires an AUv3 compatible host app, like Logic Pro, Drambo or GarageBand. It does not run as a standalone app ***

Combuster is available on the App Store HERE

LoAdKer music generator
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , ,

LoAdKer music generator app for ios

LoAdKer is a novel rhythm event generator that is based on fractal sequences. Unlike most other drum-mahines, LoAdKer has the ability to create complex patterns that evolve over time, sounding similar but not exactly the same. The result can be anything from minimal, repetitive beats to sonic mayhem, aided by the real-time effects that add an extra dimension to the sound.

LoAdKer has been designed as a performance tool and, in fact, it is being used as such by the developer himself. Thus, it is remarkably stable and easy to use either in a performance or in a studio. It can be especially useful to those who write electronic, electroacoustic, experimental music, IDM, glitch, noise etc.

Features:

– four instruments: kick, hihat, fx1 and fx2 with synth and sampler audio engine, filter, reverb, delay controls and more
– every instrument has an extra control that determines the degree of their chaotic behaviour (this is where the real fun begins!)
– most parameters can be automated in real-time by drawing custom curves, which can be time or beat – based, looped or one-off
– adjustable audio buffer size (128 to 4096 samples)
– multiple sample rate support (subject to hardware capabilities): 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96 and 192kHz
– IAA/AudioBus™ and Ableton Link™ compatible

-performance recording

– import sounds from and export to Audio Copy™ and AudioShare™, export audio to Dropbox and exchange sounds over iTunes

LoAdKer is available in the App Store HERE – Currently Free!

Compression app for iphone and ipad

Richter – a compressor that goes beyond the ordinary. This product is the culmination of years of experimentation, resulting in a compressor that empowers you to squeeze every bit of sonic perfection out of your tracks like never before. From mixes to vocals, punchy drums to smooth, transparent vocal tracks, Richter delivers great results across multiple diverse genres.

Intro price 60% off

Unconventional approach: Due to how the algorithm is designed, there are a few unconventional controls parameters are added/used to tame Richter. First of all: one single parameter controls how much compression will get applied. The other (important) parameter controls how the internal envelope follower will react to transients vs continuous/lasting sounds. These two parameters make Richter a highly intuitive compressor where the user quickly will be able to dial in the wanted sound. On top of that there’s a boost switch that literally makes the amount span go to eleven. Richter also comes with all the expected features like makeup gain, dry/wet mix, input trim and a simple EQ. There’s also a handful of factory presets to get anyone started.

Designed to be intuitive and easy to use, Richter’s sleek interface and intuitive controls ensure that you spend less time wrestling with technicalities and more time focusing on the actual impact. Richter’s Transient knob, designed for fast adjustments allowing you to achieve sonic results in record time.

Don’t settle for ordinary – let Richter effortlessly add more life into your mixes, adding clarity and impact.

Features

Superheavy compression with minimal unwanted artifacts
