Cheap but still worth

My main complaint at the moment is that this auv3 unit doesn’t report its latency to the host. Which means AUM’s built in latency compensation gets thrown out of sync if you add this effect into any spot anywhere in your effects chain.

That said, if you don’t care about latency compensation, this little app is pretty neat. I use it all the time for listening to small portions of my audio frequency.

Useful for getting inside the nooks and crannies

It's a useful bandwidth-pitch-shift effect that's dedicated to its task... and...! it does more than that, it's a sampler, a modulator, and an efficient interface for exporting effected clips, once you've perfected the band pass / filter sweep. The iPhone GarageBand interface of the instrument had some issues with showing all of the tabs, but the standalone instrument works well, is entertaining, and it's intuitive enough to use with the media player feature start off with.

Connectivity

Great app, just hope it will connect to AudioShare, Dropbox etc in near future!

Another one

Keep pumping out apps and I will keep buying them. I can't get enough Virsyn apps. Every one of them has something special and they are all having similar interfaces to not have to learn a new UI every time. I never got the concept of a totally new UI for every app by the same company. Take time and create a good one and stick with it, if everyone likes it. With Virsyn, they did exactly that. So if you use Virsyn apps, it is super easy to switch from one of their apps to the other. I love their apps.
