Zilldrone

Zillidrone (*iOS 8 required) is a sample-based groovebox for creating, performing and interacting with 32-step sequences for snares, kicks, hi-hats, sampler and two multioscillator synthesizers. With Zillidrone you can easily create, modify, save sequences and arrange them on the fly during a live performance. Use drum pads for making extra drum shots over the saved drum patterns. Shuffle samples, randomize patterns, use synth preset sequencers, apply DSP effects with automations to produce a wide range of sound transformations for your composition. Upload your own samples and use the magic of randomization without any editing to discover more ideas for your music. Record loops or full tracks in real-time, export recordings to other applications or share them via dropbox or email.

Features:
– Drum machine and drum pads for real-time groove production with 4 types of touches. Tap or swipe drum pads within different areas to produce different shots.
– Change samples manually or shuffle samples randomly during performance.
– Two oscillator synth with 5 presets, preset sequencers and automations for each controller.
– Sampler with piano keyboard (6 octaves).

Digital Audio Multi-FX For iPad
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , , ,

FingerLabs-DFX

DFX is a powerful real-time Quad Multi-Effects Processor for iPad. With an intuitive and beautiful user interface for easy playability and instant fun.

We are curious. We like new experiences. We welcome unexpected discoveries. And… we are musicians. It was an obvious choice for us to develop for the iPad the multi-effects that we wanted, that we needed for our thirst for sound. Four powerful and multipurpose chained effects, driven by trackpads for fast and easy sonic explorations. Like a million of pedal boards on a device.

Plug in any audio source, a guitar, a bass, a microphone, a DJ mixer. Or play your favorite iOS synth or drum machine with Audiobus or Apple Inter-App Audio. Or why not playing a track from your iTunes Music Library. Select one, two, three or four effects amongst 35 hi-quality digital audio effects and explore endless sonic possibilities. Delays, echos, reverbs, filters, tremolo, autowah, compressors, distortions, vocoders, resonators, etc… more possibilities that you can imagine.

At last, but not least, DFX is also a great little sound design machine. Just select one of the built-in tone synthesizers on the first effect and let your imagination build new sound landscapes at the tip of your fingers. We have had a lot fun making ours in the Factory presets.

No in-apps, no ads, no fuss. DFX is simple, intuitive and fun. No user guide required ;^)

Everest : Audio Looper For iOS
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , ,

Everest-Audio-Looper

Record, play, and remix audio loops in real-time from the audio input of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Designed for both live and studio use, Everest puts the power of four road-worthy, independently controlled, self-synchronizing samplers in the palm of your hand.

Everest

• Ultimate Control: Over 10 different operations and functions can be performed on each loop, including:

~Undo/Redo – Up to 16 levels of Undo per loop; jump to older loops all while staying in sync.
~Overdub – Add new audio on top of a loop, just like those old tape machines from the 70’s.
~Multiply – Overdub longer loops over shorter loops, or shorten a longer loop.
~Bounce – Merge many loops into one, even while making real-time changes.
~Insert – Splice new audio in the middle, beginning or end of any loop.
~Windowing – Change the start point and length of the loop in real time.
~Scrub – Perform manual granular synthesis: drag short loop windows across the waveform.
~Reverse – Play loops backwards without losing synchronization.
~Bookmark – Save your position in the undo history for future recall.
~Multi-Mute – Toggle playback of loops, going back and forth between two different sets.
~Rewind – Restart loops for stutter type effects, or temporarily wrangle asynchronous loops.
~Feedback – Fade loops to silence at any time, even while adding new audio.
~Volume – Dedicated output level faders. Good for bringing loops in and out of the mix.
~Replace – Punch-In record any segment of the loop with new audio, while keeping the rest.

• Sample-Accurate Sync : No time-stretching here. Loops of different lengths can perfectly synchronize to each other, allowing for complex polyrhythms and time signature changes. No slipping, no artifacts, no drifting, no distortion.

• Local Quantization Defeat : Sometimes swirling chaos is a good thing. Disable quantization at will, on any loop, without affecting the other loops.

• Universal App : Runs on most devices (including iPhone 4 and iPad 2), as perfect for pedal boards as it is for desktops.

• Musical Editing : Use the multi-touch enabled waveform view to radically alter the length, position, and direction of each loop. Finally, audio you can play like an instrument!

• Dynamic Interface : Automatically adjusts for different device orientations and screen sizes.

• Inter-App Audio Compatible : Can be hosted inside of, and synced to, an IAA enabled host. Rapidly record different guitar or vocal takes without committing to saving the audio, or use the host instruments and tracks to keep time while you create the perfect loop. Can also host two other apps (Generator and Effect).

• Save & Copy : Save loops as they play for archiving on your device or copy loops as they play for pasting into other apps that support pasting audio. Share your creations with your friends.

• MIDI Controllable : Comprehensive MIDI implementation for control via keyboards, foot switches and more. Control all the loops with as few as two controls or sequence every detail from your favorite DAW. Supports wireless control via WiFi and Bluetooth LE.

• Flexible Audio Routing : Support for quadraphonic input and outputs. Send each loop to its own amplifier or give each band member their own looper!

• Built-In Help : No network connection? No problem. Contains detailed embedded descriptions of all loop functions and MIDI controls.

• Tweak-able : Everest automatically saves settings, options, and parameters. These include quantization behavior, panning, crossfading, MIDI channel and more.

• Lightweight : Everest does not come burdened with a sample or loop library. The install size is small, it uses a modest amount of memory, all while running very efficiently, especially in the background.

***Beware of microphone feedback when looping, in general. Everest is best used with headphones, headsets or class compliant audio hardware. If you must use the internal speakers/microphone, try turning noise canceling on under the settings menu.
