iceGear Instruments Yukawa - Sequence Delay
iceGear Instruments
https://apps.apple.com/app/id1529500098"
"Yukawa is an AUv3 compatible multi-effector that combines a multi-tap sequence delay that produces a rhythmic phrase in sync with the beat, a modulatable stereo delay, and a DJ mixer style filter.

You can set the volume, pan, cutoff frequency, and resonance for each tap of the delay with up to 16 taps that are synchronized to the beat. You can also set the Damp parameter to gradually reduce the high range or low range each time the delay is repeated.

A stereo delay with various functions packed into a simple UI. It works not only as a simple stereo delay, but also as a ping-pong delay that produces the effect of sound moving left and right. The delay time can be specified in milliseconds as well as tempo synchronization. By modulation, you can create a modulation effect sound such as chorus. You can also add negative feedback and distortion or noise to the feedback.
# filter
The DJ mixer style filter can control Low Pass and High Pass Filter seamlessly with one knob. The cutoff frequency can be modulated. Also, overdrive can create a distorted filter sound.
# Routing
On the routing setting screen, you can set which signal is sent where and how much.
# Universal App
Compatible with iPad and iPhone, it has multiple screen layouts optimized for different screen sizes.
# Audio Unit Extensions (AUv3)
You can use this AUv3 Plug-In in a host application that supports Audio Unit Extensions (AUv3).
# Audiobus
You can stream live audio directly to any Audiobus compatible application. See https://audiob.us for details.
# Ableton Link
It is possible to synchronize tempo and timing not only with applications that support Ableton Link running on the same device but also with applications running on other devices via the local network. In addition to iOS apps, you can also sync with compatible applications on Mac/PC, such as Ableton Live and TRAKTOR. See https://www.ableton.com/link/ for details..

Electrosmith DIY Analog Modular Synthesizer w/ Electrosmith Sub Modules
Ipsum Audio
"This is a homemade analog synth that I've been working on for close to a year now. It is a classic monosynth with 3 oscillators, 1 modulating LFO, and a 24dB/oct VCF. The core modules (VCOs, VCF, VCA) are built on the submodule boards available from Electro-Smith (links below).
The case has ~96HP of Eurorack space, and also houses the Arturia Keystep controller. It is made of poplar with walnut stain. The case is powered by an old Elpac PC power supply that provides +/-12V and +5V."
