Tardigrain Granular App Update
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , ,

Tardigrain is a granular synthesiser for iOS that runs standalone or as an AU plugin. Sounds are created by taking smaller fragments of a sample and playing them back in a non linear fashion, with settings for grain size, direction, step size and more. Process the sound further through effects like reverb, wave shaper and sample crush. Tardigrain supports connections with AudioCopy, AudioBus, Inter App Audio and AUv3. Plus all audio parameters can be modulated by MIDI, as AU parameters and by aftertouch on the build in keyboard. Now also a selected set of parameters can be modulated by LFOs och notes triggered by a new sequencer/arpeggiator.

1.1.0Jun 12, 2022
+++ Updating UI and placement of some elements.
+++ Adding note trigger sequencer/arpeggiator.
+++ Adding 4 LFOs for modulating a selected set of parameters.
+++ Adding pitch bend.
+++ Adding a keyboard shift function, allowing a different root note.
+++ Adding ability to keep keyboard between presets.
+++ Adding and improving presets.
+++ Improving preset handling.
+++ Adding ability to import/export multiple presets.
+++ Exposing user presets to AUv3 Hosts.

K-Devices LFOH!

Audio and MIDI modulator – LAUNCH OFFER!

Get LFOH! now at just 1.99$/1,99€!
… And all our apps are 50%OFF!

K-Devices LFOH!

LFOH! is an augmented, stunning (as the name suggests!), LFO which enhances the possibilities of the classic cycling envelope by adding control over a set of advanced and unique features.

LFOH! is a single oscillator LFO and has a set of continuously morphable and selectable waveforms that represents the core of its modulation signal. Apart from the classic frequency and phase parameters (which make it capable of all of the classic modulation stuff), the waveform can also be shaped by swinging its cycles, bending its curve, squeezing portions of oscillation in the same period of time, scaled and transformed while exceeding its boundaries. An additional Sample and Hold circuit provides quantization for the resulting signal.

A tool you already know, with the most advanced features: simple and powerful.

LFOH! is both an audio processor and a MIDI modulator: while is capable to send its modulation signal out as MIDI CC (according to the MIDI routing flexibility of the app that hosts it), it can also modulate the amplitude of incoming audio.

*** Please note: LFOH! is an Audio Unit extension (AUv3) – it only works in an AUv3 host app like AUM, Drambo, Cubasis, etc… ***

Klevgrand Tines Percussion App

Ting provides 12 different percussive sounds originating from t(h)ings that can be found in most of ordinary households. Each sound is carefully multi-sampled and processed with the common goal to be musically playable. Ting is intended to be a creative tool and a substitute for ordinary drum and percussion instruments. Altogether ~500 individual samples are used to make this instrument. In addition to the sounds, there is an EQ, a room simulator, a reverb and a compressor.

Tweaking parameters for each sound:

* Pan
* Gain Level
* Dynamics
* Room amount
* Reverb amount
* Pitch (-12 semitones to +6 semitones)

Global parameters:

* EQ – Treble, Midi and Bass gain levels
* 5 different rooms and 6 different reverbs
* Reverb decay time and a global reverb level
* Compression amount
* Output Level

Sounds available:

CAR KEYS – A subtle hit, works great as a hihat substitute
SILVERWARE – Fork and Knife
BIG BOX – A large wooden box with some junk inside slapped with the fist
FLOOR STOMP – Stomping the floor makes a great bass drum!
HAND CLAP – Natural hand clap
POT – A clay pot tapped with a finger
PAPER SCRATCH – Two papers rubbed against each other. Works as a shaker!
TOY DRUM – A kid’s drum hit with a plastic stick
SOFA SLAP – Hand palm on the office sofa
STICK ON EDGE – Wooden stick on a table edge
SNUSDOSA – A small round box with screws inside tapped
FINGER SNAP – Natural finger snap

Rooms available:

HOME OFFICE – A quite soft room with balanced reflections.
KITCHEN – Short decay time with bright tail.
LIVING ROOM – More tail, but not too bright.
HALLWAY – Damped room with lots of low end.
CLOSET – Clean response with a very short tail.

Reverbs available:

NATURAL – Sweet sounding classic reverb.
NORTH LAKE – Less high end but more natural.
MOONLIT – A bright smaller space.
GLACIER – Bright and large.
WOODEN – Slightly damped, but organic.
DYNAMITE – Large and lots of low end.

OTT Compressor Limiter iPad iPhone
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , , , ,

Bram Bos WOOTT Logo

WOOTT is an Audio Unit plugin (AUv3 audio effect) inspired by the infamous OTT sound.

WOOTT uses a triple band dynamics algorithm with simultaneous downwards AND upwards compression, and adds a dedicated limiter to each band. So what’s all that techno mumbojumbo good for?

1. First, it slams all the loud, dominant aspects of your sound
2. Next it blows up all the subtle quiet bits that were hiding below

As a result, it’s perfect for:

– Blowing up average sounds to massive proportions
– Giving an aggressive sharp edge to synthesizer filters
– Bringing out subtle details and movement that would otherwise get lost in the mix (in a hamfisted way, though)
– Dusting off old breakbeat samples and loops
– Hyping specific aspects of your synth lines
– Making generally boring things more interesting

WOOTT features:

– AUv3 audio unit effect plugin
– Universal (all iPads and iPhones supported), iOS11+
– Runs in all your favorite plugin hosts: Cubasis, AUM, Beatmaker 3, Nanostudio 2, Garageband, etc.
– Multi-output (requires compatible host) for post-processing the individual bands
– Low-resource, so stack as many of them as you like – “[WO]OTT all the things!”
– Downwards *and* upwards compressors (a rare feature on conventional dynamics plugins)
– Smart soft limiter per band, adapts to its own band’s specific settings

Note: this is not a subtle effect. If subtle and minimal are what you’re after, this is not the droid you’re looking for 🙂

Sampletoy Sampler For iPhone
Author View comments Tags Tags: , ,

Sampletoy iPhone

Sampletoy is a radical new musical instrument/plaything; part sampler, part granular synthesiser. Use it to capture sounds through the microphone, then play, loop, pitch and distort them live on the screen.

There are plenty of features under the hood, such as resonant filters, delays and envelope. You can enable “stepped” mode to play your sounds like a traditional keyboard, or keep it in “free” mode for some microtonal madness.

Once you’ve recorded a sound, use the main area of the screen to play it back at different pitches (up to 5 fingers at a time). You can crop the sound by dragging a selection over the waveform. The crop area is also multitouch and you can adjust the crop while playing the sound too.

The y-axis is pitch of the sound, and the x-axis is configurable to control filters or envelope.

You can record your performances on Sampletoy and send them via email within the app as a CD-quality wav file (mono or stereo)

FEATURES
——-
* Create your own instruments out of any sound.
* Email your performances as audio files straight from the app.
* Built-in resonant filters, delay and envelope.
* Auto-saves current recording and state and recalls it again on next launch.
* Stepped mode allows chromatic, major, minor, pentatonic and whole-tone scales to be played.
* Totally multitouch – play up to 5 notes at once.
* 44kHz/16bit – professional quality sound.
* AudioBus3 output
* Import any audio file to Sampletoy from Files, Voice memos, DropBox etc
* Open non-audio files and hear what they sound like
* Bluetooth / Airplay support
* Built-in comprehensive manual.
