Ting is an instrument providing 12 different percussive sounds originating from everyday t(h)ings laying around at home – such as silverware, a sofa, toy drum or a pair of car keys. 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.
Hillman is a synthlike instrument inspired by old combo-organs, string machines and similar vintage gear.
4 voices per note, each with selectable waveform (transistorish, tubeish, sine and special plasma), octave switch and a level control.
Sounds are generated with an analog approach, but does not use samples or sampled wavetables.
User interface
— Voices
Level – Level control.
Type – Select between Transistor, Tube, Sine-wave or a special plasma oscillator.
Octave – Octave offset for each note voice. (-1 to +2).
— ADSR
Envelope controls
— FXs
Ensemble – A classic ensemble chorus with 3 different modes
Phaser – 4 pole phaser with 2 different modes with different frequency ranges and notch depths.
Reverb – Lush reverb which ranges from small room to churchlike halls.
Knorr is a plugin that adds intensity and edge to a monophonic low frequency audio source (like a bass). The algorithm adds overtones to an existing sound in a way that isn’t possible with ordinary distortion or filtering.
The Knorr Algorithm
The underlying algorithm uses a combination of filtering, amplitude- , and frequency modulation to process incoming audio. Although Knorr is developed with bass sounds in mind, it can be used on any monophonic sound source as long as there is audio content available in the low mids (and below).
**User interface**
XY Pad – Controls the bandwidth and amount of energy sent to the algorithm. Click and drag to move the marker.
Range (X-axis) – Sets a low pass filter frequency of the signal to be sent to the algorithm. Spans from 100 Hz to 1 kHz.
Level (Y-axis) – Sets the level of the low passed audio content.
Bite (SOFT, MEDIUM, HARD) – Alters the amount of intensity of the modulations.
Output – Sets the output level.
Bypass – Turns the effect on or off.
Frequency Response graph – Shows the frequency response of the internal modulation signal.
Note that Knorr is a AUv3 only and and needs to be launched via a AUv3 compatible host like GarageBand, Cubasis, Auria or similar. It will not work as a stand alone application.
Haaze is a 16 band stereo widening tool that utilizes three different methods of controlling the stereo width and spatial positioning of an audio stream.
• Haas – adds a small delay to the left or right audio channel which will make the listener believe the sounds arrives from the side that’s reaching the ear first.
• Pan – Alters the gain level on one of the audio channels. All 16 bands can be panned separately, so this method gets quite equal to the common “split eq” function in various equalizers.
• MS Stereo. Controls the output stereo width on each band, from normal stereo signal to mono.
There’s also a view for controlling the output gain of all bands separately.
Changes from the initial version:
• New and more transparent crossover filters
• Haas: Better control for each band
• Split EQ: Now called “PAN” and provides much more control over.
• MS Stereo: New feature in v2.0.0
• Gain: New feature in v2.0.0
• Visualization: New feature in v2.0.0
• Brand new and more intuitive UI for a better work flow.
• Several factory presets.
Modley is a modulation delay with effect insert capabilities, which lets you design the whole delay signal with several carefully selected effect modules, to create customized signal flows and unique sounds.
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
• Multiband Gate – Four band spectral gate
• Pitcher – Pitch shifting effect
• Filter – Classic resonant low and highpass filter

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.
iPad Loops is an iOS music production blog dedicated to exposing the best iPad apps musicians, producers, and Djs. This is not a database of every app. It is, however, one of useful recommendations from someone with many years in music production. I try to update it on a daily basis (ok sometimes every two days) and I do my best to post useful apps only. My name is Jason Donnelly (Dj Puzzle).
You might know me from my royalty free loop packs and sound design. Some of the apps that contain my sounds are Synth One, EG Segments, Hammerhead, Retronyms AudioCopy, Audio Evolution Mobile, LP-5, iPRO.DJSAMPLER, Looptastic. My work is published by Roland, Antares, Magix, Soundtrack Loops, Sample Logic, Acoustica, Loopmasters and many more. Subscribe to our RSS feed below to get updated when new apps are posted.
