## What is AAS Objeq?

Who doesn’t like to improvise a beat on a table?

AAS Objeq transforms those beats to sound closer to a real percussion instrument. 

With the help of your device’s microphone and a pair of headphones, you’ll get tones reminiscent of congas, bongos, djembes, or any other resonant thing. 

AAS Objeq offers beam, drumhead, and plate resonator types which you can customize via pitch, material, decay, and tone controls. 

Mix in your original signal and tweak until you hear something you like—slide dots, experiment, and have fun!

If you're addicted to tapping your hands everywhere, Objeq will become your new rhythm companion!

AAS Objeq will also show up as a plug-in in any AUv3 (Audio Unit v3) compatible DAW such as GarageBand, Cubasis, Auria, and AudioBus 3.

## Key features

- Surface tap to drum sound transformation
- Multiple resonator types (beam, drumhead, plate)

### 5/5 — Mac app or desktop version plsss🤓

*2024-11-15*

Still one of the best resonators out there!

### 1/5 — No longer functions as a plugin instrument in any host

*2024-06-08*

Doesn’t appear in AUM or Cubasis or anything

### 1/5 — Futile app

*2024-03-06*

When used alone without any auxiliary connection, there's excessive static noise. However, when speakers are connected, the microphone is automatically disabled, rendering it useless.

### 3/5 — Latency is an issue

*2020-11-19*

I just bought this, tried it for hand drumming on a 1st gen IPad Pro, and there’s very significant latency. I haven’t tried it yet as an effect, hopefully that won’t have any latency problems.

### 5/5 — Genius

*2020-09-12*

Loved tassman 4 in 2003 now finally have similar resonant control on ios🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

### 5/5 — Simply Awesome

*2019-07-13*

Awesome app that sounds great and easy to navigate.
You can use it as an effect on an instrument you play to further modulate it’s sound; great with hand percussion, providing lots of sonic textures to explore.

### 4/5 — Simple, efficient, fun as a plug-in effect too

*2019-05-31*

Makes a simple slap, tap or finger click into any number of percussive instruments. Have been using it with Multitrack DAW app as a plug-in, then adding some reverb or shimmer.

I thought I’d try it just for a bit of fun but I’ve realised that it’s way more useful to generate a variety of instruments. I have several AAS VST plug-ins that I use with Ableton so this fits right in.

### 5/5 — Really nice app for experiments

*2019-05-05, version 1.0*

Just add it in AUM or another host as AUv3 effect and enjoy with acoustic experiments when using drum machines or noise samples. Or use external input and play on your table. Like it!

### 5/5 — A brilliant effect, with some caveats

*2018-12-20*

First off I want to say that this is a brilliant idea. 

Secondly I want to clarify what it is and what it isn’t. It is an audio effect, so it takes the audio coming in, and applies filters to it to make it resonate in cool ways. 

What it isn’t: it isn’t a VSTi that generates sounds that are triggered by vibration. 

There are some serious limitations.  The main problem is feedback.  

Because of the feedback problem you can not process live mic input AND listen to it on speakers at the same time. If you use live mic input then you MUST use headphones to listen. Or if you want to hear the output on speakers then you can not use a live mic as input.

### 2/5 — Great Idea

*2018-11-12*

Great Idea!
But its not working on Audiobus3
