"50% off for a limited time!

DFX is a powerful real-time Quad Multi-Effects Processor for iPad. With an intuitive and beautiful user interface for easy playability and instant fun.

We are curious. We like new experiences. We welcome unexpected discoveries. And... we are musicians. It was an obvious choice for us to develop for the iPad the multi-effects that we wanted, that we needed for our thirst for sound. Four powerful and multipurpose chained effects, driven by trackpads for fast and easy sonic explorations. Like a million of pedal boards on a device.

Plug in any audio source, a guitar, a bass, a microphone, a DJ mixer. Or play your favorite iOS synth or drum machine with Audiobus or Apple Inter-App Audio. Or why not playing a track from your iTunes Music Library. Select one, two, three or four effects amongst 35 hi-quality digital audio effects and explore endless sonic possibilities. Delays, echos, reverbs, filters, tremolo, autowah, compressors, distortions, vocoders, resonators, etc… more possibilities that you can imagine.

At last, but not least, DFX is also a great little sound design machine. Just select one of the built-in tone synthesizers on the first effect and let your imagination build new sound landscapes at the tip of your fingers. We have had a lot fun making ours in the Factory presets.

No in-apps, no ads, no fuss. DFX is simple, intuitive and fun. No user guide required ;^)

Modular Synthesizer Explosion at NAMM 2015

Published on Jan 26, 2015 Blade of Grass

"Sorry for this shaky amateur iPhone video, but about halfway through NAMM I was so amazed by the sheer quantity of synths (particularly modular synths) that I just started shooting some short clips to informally document this phenomenon.

Where possible I tried to get a shot of the manufacturer’s sign, and in the video you can see synths from :

Buchla
Noise Engineering
Low Gain Electronics
Doepfer
MFB Synths
Snazzy FX
Kenton Synths
Delptronics
Qu-bit Electronics
Tip Top Audio
Abstract Data
Audio Damage
4MS Compny
Club of the Knobs
Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers
Kilpatrick Audio
Muff Wiggler
