What's New in irio pro

October 13, 2026

- New: prime verb, two reverb machines in one module. Both have HALL, ROOM, PLATE, DELAYS and CHORUS. Machine I adds INVERSE, CHORDS and a GATE, machine II adds AMBIENCE. A NORDLYS page with STRINGS and AURORA, and FREEZE. - New: elastik verb, a spring reverb with 1 to 4 springs, LENGTH, TENSION, DECAY, DWELL, TONE, SPREAD and KNOCK. - New: mammut delay, a delay with four voices. ANALOG from digital to bucket-brigade sound, PARALL, SERIES, PONG and STEREO, REVERSE on each voice, and grains before, inside or after the delay. - New: elephant delay, a bucket-brigade echo with CHORUS or VIBRATO, ECHO OUT, BUCKETS (1, 2, 4 or 8 chips) and SPREAD for stereo. - New: plata octave, an analog octave up and down pedal with UP, DIRECT and DOWN, and the BRIGHT/PURE and MIDS/LOW switches. - New: offramp synth, an analog guitar synthesizer you play through a normal guitar cable, one note at a time. CUTOFF, RESONANCE, SENS, ATTACK, PITCH A and B up to 13 semitones, DUET, VIB and SWEEP. - New: midi out sends MIDI from rosa midi or an au host plugin to other apps, to hardware, or from the plugin to your DAW. - welkin verb: new MK II engine with 16 delay lines, DECAY up to 60 s, VIB, DYN, VECT and LAYER. You can switch back to MK I, and older patches open on MK I. - irio verb: new engine, PATTERN (OWN, NEAR, FAR), a DECAY page with DAMP, LO DEC, crossovers and VLF CUT, EARLY CUT, PRE up to 500 ms, and a delay into the tail. - prime clock: new engine, stereo dry signal, QUALITY (FULL, MID, LIGHT). - dyna delay: new engine, FEEDBACK in percent, an ORIGINAL switch for ENV, INV R OUT and INV OUT. - dyna delay, prime clock and tantalum eq patches saved before 1.3.0 are converted once to their old level. Pads, knobs, MIDI maps and DAW lanes on MIX, OUTPUT or GAIN keep the old numbers. - irio delay REVERSE: every repeat now plays backwards, RATIO no longer changes the pitch of the right side, and high FDBK settings fade out. - irio shift: no fizz when shifting up, no flutter when shifting down. - nam player: a CAL chip for the input level and a PHASE switch. - A 5-day trial, once per Apple ID. The free version keeps its modules. - Factory presets: Tales from the Spud is updated, and Athmos, Ducker and Offramp are new. They need Pro Complete or the trial. - Folders: drag a card onto another, or draw a rectangle around several. A folder has its own canvas, Shortcuts page and memories, and can be shared as an .iriofolder file. - The engine builder is gone. Engine blocks are now cards on the canvas, saved engines open as folders, and block cards can form feedback loops. - The catalog: tap a module to add it after the selected card, double tap for a parallel path, or drag it onto a cable. - Link modules of the same kind so they share every setting. - Mono modules can run as DUAL MONO (CHANNELS on the LEVELS page). - At full zoom, every effect card shows IN, main and OUT knobs. - The bypass mode shows on the card. In bypass, the meters show the signal that passes. - Modulation runs on the audio thread. - Cable colours: purple for modulation, amber for gate and trigger, teal for pitch, pink for MIDI. - The lfo has a PHASE knob. The draw lfo imports and exports its curve as CSV. - Ranges for shortcuts, the pedal, XY axes and AUTO lanes are set on a fader with MIN and MAX pins. - Eight scenes per preset, A to H. - Plugin: 64 AUTO lanes with search, and the tuner. - Mirror, Share and Sync between two devices (Settings > Devices). With Mirror, one device is the remote of the other. - Settings is split into six pages. - A light appearance, and a LARGE text size on iPad. - New info cards with signal-flow diagrams for every module and block. - Library folders, imported with their subfolders. - The file picker plays a file before you load it. - The player and the looper import FLAC. - A 512-frame buffer setting. - Fixed: clicks when switching scenes, freezes on iPad (iOS 17) and Mac, preset export on Mac, and knobs showing a wrong value before the first change.

Irio pro

The best of the best.Period.

Best guitar rig / pedal board / signal chain app

I’m really impressed with irio Pro. It has so many great features that other apps like NAM Live and ToneRig have overlooked. The routing flexibility is fantastic, you can run as many NAM profiles as your CPU can handle, and having signal level metering on every block is incredibly useful. The snapshots/scenes make it great for live performance, too.

One of my favorite features is the ability to use an envelope block to control parameters on other blocks, including third-party AUv3 plugins. That kind of flexibility opens up so many creative possibilities!

What really stands out to me is how much thought has gone into the workflow. It’s obvious there’s a musician behind the development who understands how musicians actually want to use their gear. It’s not just about having great features, but making those features work together in useful and creative ways.

For my setup, I’m using a Line 6 Helix Floor as both my audio interface and MIDI controller, with irio Pro handling all the actual audio processing. This combination has been working great! It’s also been a fantastic way to give hardware I already own a whole new purpose.

When I first started using irio Pro, I thought it was really good, but there were a few usability issues that made certain things less intuitive than I would have liked. With the recent 1.3.0 update, those issues have been resolved, and the overall experience is much better. It’s great to see a developer listening to feedback and continuing to improve the software.

I really appreciate what the developer has built here, and I’m excited to see where it goes!

Incredible!

This app is amazing! There is so much flexibility with the ‘pedals’ and synths that you are only limited by your imagination. If you need a simple rig - easy. If you need a more complex rig - this can handle that too. So much content already and the dev is just getting started! He is very responsive as well. I get replies back with hours. Outstanding!

A great, powerful app!

"I’m really impressed with irio pro. The layout is clean, and building complex sound effects is super fast and intuitive. It runs smooth, sounds amazing, and works flawlessly as an AUv3 plugin. Easily one of the best tools in my setup!"

Highly recommend!!!

This app is a beast. I love the work flow worth every penny.. I use it for practicing , it can record 4 clip loop tracks. Great for guitar and keys and I has a great sound synth you progra. My go to guitar fix sounds. The developer really seems to upgrading constantly. There is a free trial period I tried and I bought it right away.
