WaveShaper synthesizer for iOS

EG WaveSHAPER is the first synthesizer that lets you create your sound with a finger.

Draw the waveform on the screen or shape a builtin one, mix it with a classic analog oscillator and a sub oscillator and automate all the knobs with 2 drawable LFOs and 2 ENVs

HYBRID WAVESHAPING ENGINE
‘Waveshaping is a synthesis-and-transformation technique that turns simple sounds into complex sounds’

2 wavetables can be designed and morphed to create unique and dynamic sounds under your finger, choosing the morph attack and release; complex spectra can be created waveshaping the oscillator and introducing non linear distortion, rich harmonics and a tube-vacuum behaviour.
The hybrid Waveshaping/Wavetable engine lets you combine a wavetable oscillator with a classic oscillator and a sub oscillator, to add additional sound layers and depth.

LFOs & ENVs
2 Lfo and 2 Envelopes with indipendent time can be assigned to virtually any of the synth parameters. They can also be graphically designed with the touch of your finger or you can choose among the builtin envelopes.

OTHER FEATURES
– Hybrid Wavetable/Waveshaping engine
– Draw your wavetable oscillator with your finger
– 100+ presets (Pad, Lead, Bass and Fx)
– 30+ builtin waveforms to use and modify
– 2 LFOs and 2 ENVs assignable to any parameter
– FX: Reverb, Delay and EG Crush
– Detune osc to create huge unison sounds
– FM and Noise with configurble FM Ratio and Noise eq
– VCF and Reso filters
– Complete presets management with export and share
– Core MIDI: MIDI in, MIDI CC, MIDI channel pressure control
– AU3 with full knobs parameters automation
– Universal for iPad & iPhone

Woodulator Just Got Better!
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , , ,

Woodulator

I reviewed Woodman’s Woodulator back in October and well I fell in love with this app. This new update just made it even better.

Ver 1.1 Nov 21, 2018
– added Reverse mode to the Pitch shifters (more Craziness ! )
– added Sawtooth Up and Sawtooth Down to the LFO modes
– LFO modes can now be seen and toggled from main window

– fixed bug in gain calculation of Level rotaries

The Woodulator is a delay and pitch shifter inspired by analog bucket brigade delays. It also includes 2 versatile modulators.
Pitch shifting is obtained by increasing or decreasing the clock in the delay line and not by FFT calculations.

– Has 2 pitch shifters which can go up or down according to a harmonic scale or in chorus mode

– Modulator source can be internal LFO or external side chain

– Modulator destination can be pitch frequency, pitch amplitude, delay amplitude, panning. or feedback amount.
– Modulation of pitch frequency can be up, down or both.

– Delay line color can be set with LP/HP/BP filter and Saturation level.

– Includes HP and LP filters on the input signal

– Includes LP filter on pitch out signals.

– Pitch shifters have Reverse mode.
– BPM can be set, tapped or synced by the DAW host.

– LFO Square has slew-rate control. (control at 100% generates triangle waveform)

– LFO’s have convenient beat/bar timing popup.

– Delay and pitch signals can be panned L-R on a stereo bus/track.

– Delay and pitch shifter timing can be synced to the bar or re-synced manually (playing live)


– Presets can be stored in iCloud Drive (makes them available on all your devices).

– Presets can be switched with Midi Program Changes.

– Major controls can be set with Midi CC messages.

Woodpressor Compressor Update
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , , ,

Audio unit compressor with sidechain

Woodpressor is a high-end audio compressor. It is both a standalone app supporting IAA (Inter-App Audio) and an AUv3 audio unit plugin.
It has all the classic compressor controls like “Threshold”, “Attack”, “Release”, “Ratio”, etc

Ver 1.7 Nov 18, 2018
– Added Brick-wall Limiter
– Added Clip Led
– Added Max dB Out value

bug fixes/improvements :
– fixed small dependency from Tube Class A amount on Distort amount
– BPFilter Listen does not add the Makeup gain any longer (could cause clipping)

– Auto gain
– Tube distort
– Adaptive Threshold
– Non-linear Release
– Side chain filter (bandpass, highpass, lowpass or notch)
– Makeup Gain Limiter
– Brick-wall Limiter

It also has it’s own side chain mechanism as currently no or very little AUv3 hosts implement a side chain.

Woodpressor can save/load user presets, especially useful in standalone mode (or for AUv3 hosts not having their own preset store)
User Presets are written to iCloud Drive which makes them automatically available (and synced, and backed-up) on all devices (and all host apps or DAW’s) running Woodpressor.
