Superb

Another very useful little gem for the sonic toolbox πŸ€—

Make guitar clavichord

You can make guitar sound a lot like a clavichord using the flutter knob especially if you use pitch shifter and set octave above with dry/wet at 50%. Sounds like a 12 string guitar turned into clavichord, eerily similar try it

So glad I found this

When I was a teenager we used a Tascam 4-track cassette recorder for our music for a few years but then switched to digital. I never forgot the sound of tape and how everything sounded better running the input levels into the red, which you can't do digitally without creating ugly distortion without any of that sound I liked with tapes. So recently I had been thinking about it again and wondering if there was a way to get that sort of thing with digital without having to actually use tapes etc (it was the sound possibilities I liked about tape, not being limited to four tracks and nothing else, etc). Suddenly it dawned on me to search for an app, maybe someone also wanted the same thing and had figuref out how. Well, I was amazed to find this and to find that it was free, because I wouldn't have been able to pay at the moment and probably would forget later when the interest faded, but I'm really glad I got this, it's amazing. Sounds everything I liked about tape, the saturation knob is so good, it really vividly reminds me of recording to tape, how increasing the input level could bring more fullness and power and life to the sound rather than immediately causing a digital demon to die in your ears like with digital. I can't believe I can now get this sound for my music, it's seriously one of the best things I've stumbled onto in life in a long time and I really appreciate the developer making it available for free. What a great gift, thank you! anyway besides the saturation, the low pass filter is fantastic, my guitar sounds right now, I could never seem to eq it in garageband to my liking, if i tried raising bass freqs it would end up too muddy overall, but this filter is perfect, captures the real sound of my acoustic guitar like the bass I feel in my body when playing, without muddying up the rest of its frequencies. then there's the noise knob, it's great too because i think there is a creative benefit of hiss, think about it like tv static in which you see many things due to pareidolia, i think something similar occurs with hiss and i was sick of the dead digital sound for years. it alwo has two other knobs that basically recreate tape warble. i'm finding they're best set extremely low and a bit useless if set too high except maybe for special fx. but the warble set low also reminds me of classic tape. I want to thank the developer again, this really will change so much for me now in a great way. If there's anyway for you to respond to this, is there any risk of this app becoming unavailable in future or what? I'd hate to lose it, it's my new secret weapon for great sound.

Finally I can create some decent fx for my Lofi house tracks

I love this app! It crunches up the drums for my Lofi production on GarageBand.

Very good!

I only keep a handful of AUfx on my iPad. This is one of them.

Wow , it flutters...

And hisses and warps and saturates, al the way from delicate undulations to, β€˜crap, ny batteries are running out’. Very nice tool and very, very nice it’s free. Will be interesting to see what else pops up from this dev. TVM for this :)

Flutter

Flutter knob is useless sounds like crap

Thumb up

Really nice XD

Sounds great!

GUI is solid. Sounds great! Looking forward to seeing what else this developer comes up with.

This App is amazing!

I love this, definitely going to use this daily.
