iTunes: Tap Delay - VirSyn


Back in the “old days”, producers and engineers created delay and echo effects using tape machines. Tap Delay combines the warm sound of vintage tape echo machines with a modern, step sequencer-like tapped delay engine which continues the tradition of the tape echo machines into the 21st century.

#### Intro offer 50% off #####

The Tape simulation includes all relevant aspects for the recreation of a faithful analog tape sound:

• Compression and Saturation
• Tape hiss
• Tape head bias
• Wow and Flutter (Tape speed instability)
• Smooth speed / delay time changes

Three feedback filters with hipass/lowpass and bandpass characteristic simplify the creation of authentic dub echo effects.

The built-in Limiter allows for endless feedback sounds.

Use live input from any source - Microphone, Guitar, Audiobus and Inter App Audio - or take a song from your iTunes library for processing.

Features:

• Multi-tap delay machine
• 24 taps for rhythmic delay effects
• Tape simulation ( Saturation, Noise, Flutter )
• Alias free tape saturation through oversampling.
• MIDI controllable including Tempo sync
• Delay loop equalizer for dub effect.
• Glitch free simulation of variable tape speeds.
• Spatial echo rotation effect.
• Audiobus 2 compatible with state saving
• IAA compatible ( Auria, Cubasis, Garageband ).
• Integrated iTunes player."

Control Audiobus From a Second iOS Device with Audiobus Remote - Holderness FX Demo

Introducing: Audiobus Remote for iPhone and iPad

Published on Jul 22, 2015 AudiobusApp

Update: New intro video added above. Also corrected the title of this post to reflect true functionality of Audiobus Remote.  I originally thought the app allowed you to process audio between iOS.  The app actually allows you to a second iOS device as a remote for easier control.

Using Holderness FX with Audiobus Remote

iTunes: Audiobus Remote - Audiobus Pty Ltd

"With Audiobus Remote, transport your Audiobus-compatible music apps’ controls onto a second iPad or iPhone: it’s a second screen for your Audiobus session, powered by Bluetooth LE and Apple's iBeacon technology.

Start Audiobus Remote for the first time, then simply hold it near your other iPad or iPhone running Audiobus: the two devices will pair immediately, and you’ll see the apps running on your Audiobus device appear on Audiobus Remote’s control surface. You will see all the Audiobus Connection Panel controls you’re used to, including app switching, transport and record controls.

Apps can also define Remote Triggers, providing access to app-specific functions within Audiobus Remote. For example:

- Record or toggle individual loops in Loopy HD.
- Trigger drum samples in DM-1.
- Move between presets in Bias FX and JamUp.
- Change presets and adjust effect controls in Holderness Media’s effects apps including Johnny and Caramel.
- Trigger individual sections in Sector, and switch modes.
- Play a mini version of SoundPrism Electro in Audiobus Remote.

All this on a second screen, while you can stay focused in one app on your main device.

Audiobus Remote. More space for play.

Discover apps with Remote Triggers on our compatible apps directory at http://audiob.us/apps

Audiobus Remote requires the Audiobus app and two Bluetooth Low Energy-compatible iOS devices: iPhone 4S, iPad 3 or iPad Mini, iPod Touch 5th gen, and newer."

"MIDIBrute - A universal application to configure Arturia Mini and Microbrute synthesizers.

Stuttgart - July 16, 2015 - Available for iPhone and iPad today, MIDIBrute is a universal iOS replacement for Arturias 'MiniBrute Connection' and 'MicroBrute Connection' applications which are only available for Mac and windows. MIDIbrute allows to configure the devices in a more convenient and mobile way. This includes features like Bend Range, Hold feature, Midi Channels, Step Size and so on. MIDIBrute also allows to send a MIDI Clock signal for easy sync with other devices.

Overview:
MIDIBrute is a companion app for the Arturia Mini and MicroBrute analog synthesizers which allows full control over all of the device's software only features. Previously a desktop PC was required to change any of the synthesizers internal settings, with MIDIBrute all of this can now be accomplished using either an iPhone or iPad. MIDIBrute is perfect if you're using a mobile setup only and try to avoid using a dedicated Mac or PC.

Features:
* Direct access to all internal synthersizer settings
* Universal Application
* Send separate MIDI Clock signal to the synthesizer in order to synchronise the clock in case no sync mechanism is in place.

The configuration set depends on the connected synthesizer:

MicroBrute:
Keyboard Parameters: Note Priority and Velocity Response
Sequencer Control: Hold, Sequence Retrigger, Next Sequence, Step on, step divider
Midi Channel Select: Transmit Channel, Receive Channel
Module Parameters: LFO Key Retrigger, Envelope Legato Mode, Bend Range, Gate Length, Clock Sync

MiniBrute:
Audio Input: Audio Gate Threshold
Module Parameters: LFO Key Retrigger, Envelope Legato Mode, Appregiator Hold
Midi Channel Select: Transmit Channel, Receive Channel
Keyboard Parameters: Note Priority, Velocity Response, Aftertouch Response

Requirements:
* Apple Camera Adapter
* Mini or MicroBrute
* Currently the MiniBrute SE and MicroBrute SE are not supported. But we are working on it.

Pricing and Availability:
MIDIBrute (Universal App) is available now for $1.99 in the US. Apple AppStore and priced similarly in other regions around the world."

bent.fm - Circuit Bent FM Synth for iOS Released

You might remember the "Lite" version here. The full version is now available on iTunes here: bent.fm - circuit bending - Mayank Sanganeria

"bent.fm is a full FM model of a circuit-bent synthesizer. bent.fm allows the user to tweak classic circuit bending modifications like fine and octave-decimated clock bends, and experiment with more esoteric bends. Circuit-bent distortions and algorithmic sequences can be created by (im)proper connections on the bend matrix. Reroute digital serial information through the base chip set (a numerically controlled oscillator) and extra logic gates (NAND and XOR, binary counters), and experience architecture-level bit crushing. For anyone interested in circuit bending, glitch sounds, industrial music, and post-procedural art.

Audiobus and IAA supported!"

New midiLFOs - midi modulation toy for iPad

iTunes: midiLFOs - midi modulation toy - Arthur Kerns

"midiLFOs is a MIDI controller app that sends modulation control data to other music apps and external synthesizers. It consists of four independent LFOs that are used to send 7 bit MIDI CC messages in repeating Low Frequency Oscillating patterns. The LFOs can be the various standard shapes (sine, saw, triangle, square, sample and hold) but can also modulate each others amplitude and rate to create even more interesting shapes.

midiLFOs does not make music or sound by itself, it controls other MIDI capable synth apps and devices in your studio. You can use it to modulate the filter cutoff frequency of your favorite synth app, the pan position of the hi hats in a drum machine app, the feedback amount of a delay effect, or the pitch of an external hardware synthesizer. Or you can do all four at the same time.

midiLFOs features:
- Four independent LFOs that send 7-bit MIDI CCs
- Easily configure CoreMIDI port, channel, CC# per LFO
- Easily adjust shape, rate, offset, lag per LFO
- Modulate the rate and amount of an LFO using other LFOs
- Sync LFOs to MIDI clock
- Map trigger, LFO rate, and modulation amount values to incoming MIDI
Designed to be easy to configure and use, midiLFOs gives you a quick to configure and easy to use MIDI LFO controller toy with some nice extra features that also make it a useful pro music studio tool."

Apple Watch: First ever generative music piece made on Apple Watch?

Published on Jul 1, 2015 Intermorphic

"This generative music piece/composition was made with the Wotja Watch App (WWA) on Apple Watch paired with an iPhone running Wotja 2.

Wotja: http://intermorphic.com/wotja

Pete and I obviously made quite a few pieces whilst building/testing the first Wotja Watch App (it comes with Wotja 2.0), but this is somehow the first one I thought to create and then record to video. It's not an example of excellence per se, but more just a bit of fun to mark the start of the next chapter in what we hope is a long and exciting journey for Wotja.

How it was done:
On the Apple Watch I used Siri to enter the text into the WWA and I then changed some of the melodic composition settings, volumes and the tempo. I also tried different included players/backing to find what I felt worked well for this piece. I turned off all the Shuffle toggles and then pressed randomise to get a colour theme.

Once I was happy with my wotja, I hooked up my iPhone 5 and recorded it to video on my Mac. I even started/stopped the wotja and and tweaked the volumes in it with the WWA :).

Finally, using Wotja on my iPhone I emailed myself the file I made (just for posterity), and then emailed myself the Wotja Music URL. If you have Wotja or Wotja FREE you can visit it to play it.

Play it now: http://goo.gl/VQiyHE.

Note: The Wotja Music URL contain the melody that the text created, but not the text itself (had I used any emojis, though, they would have been included); to share something that included the text as well, you would need to share the file.

Our thanks
We thank our wives and families for their forbearance and support in allowing us to keep going on our generative journey that we first set out on in 1990 with SSEYO Koan. A lot of ground has been covered in those intervening 25 years, but it often feels like we have barely reached the foothills of those mountains in the distance we can see. We give special thanks to our good friends and fellow journeymen Timothy Didymus and Mark Harrop without whose help we would have given up long ago and also to our other collaborators, customers and friends throughout the years.

And, of course, we also thank you for listening... We hope that maybe you, too, will want to try creating your own, personal relaxing wotjas. They are fun and easy to make and easy to share!

Tim & Pete

LoopTree - A vocal and instrumental looper for iOS

Published on Jun 13, 2015 Coding Cod

"LoopTree is an exciting new breed of looper that brings more fun than ever to creating live music! Record and group practically unlimited vocal and instrumental loops using a powerful, layered interface that gives you unrivalled control over the music you create."

LoopTree Tutorial: Recording

Published on Jul 2, 2015

"In this video I go over normal, chained and layered recording and how to use them. I also look at the following settings:

• Enable overdub
• Perform action on touch up"

iTunes:LoopTree - Coding Cod Ltd

"INTRODUCTORY SALE PRICE UNTIL 20 July 2015

LoopTree is an exciting new breed of looper that brings more fun than ever to creating live music! Record and group practically unlimited vocal and instrumental loops using a powerful, layered interface that gives you unrivalled control over the music you create.

Get your creative juices flowing and evolve your loops using the built-in filter and multi-touch beat repeat.

http://www.looptreeapp.com/

LoopTree solves the problem of destructive merging by instead combining your loops into layers. You retain individual control over your original loops and you can also control them as one using the new layer.

Note: of course nothing’s truly unlimited, but we haven’t programmed any specific limit to the number of loops or layers you can have. If you keep adding loops, eventually you will start to hear audio glitches.

FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS

• Unlimited number of loops (practically!)
• Non-destructive layering
• Beat repeat - sample, repeat and reverse loops
• Filter - add variety with an LPF, BPF and HPF

RECORDING

• Normal recording - fixed or multiple length loops
• Chained recording - select multiple tracks to record loops back-to-back
• Layered recording - equivalent of non-destructive overdubbing

LOOP LENGTH

Within a session, all loops are a 2^n multiple of the shortest loop (2x, 4x, 8x, etc). This makes it really easy to set the loop length whilst recording.

EASY TO USE

• One-finger volume/pan control on individual or simultaneous loops
• Group control - group tracks into layers; parent tracks control all layers of child tracks.
• MIDI Control
• Quantize options
• Metronome - create custom accented rhythms

SHARING AND IMPORT

• Support for IAA, AudioBus and AudioCopy/Paste
• Share sessions and recordings via email, iTunes and SoundCloud

AUDIO INTERFACES

LoopTree works well with headphones, but for truly outstanding quality, we recommend using a USB audio interface. We have tested the following interfaces:

• Behringer UCA222 and 202
• Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 (includes MIDI)"
