### 5/5 — NAM best

*2026-10-13*

좋네요

**Developer response:** 응원 감사합니다!
즐거운 음악생활 되세요~ :)

### 2/5 — early adopters

*2026-10-13*

dev definitely should have made the AuV3 and looper addition free to users who already downloaded the app. nothing like being an early adopter and then being met with a “pro” payment option for natural progression features on the next update.

This nam loader has a nice ui/ux and is pretty functional but if you’ve already had the app, you shouldn’t be asked to pay further into the app. Leave that for people who haven’t downloaded the app yet, but early adopters should always get a pass since they’ve put in support before these features were even added.

4 stars for the app - 1 star for the business practice.

2 stars overall, ymmv

**Developer response:** Hi there, thank you for supporting the app from the early days and for the kind words on the UI/UX and functionality.   I completely understand your feelings as an early adopter. I want to reassure you that every core feature available in version 1.x remains 100% free and will stay that way.   Implementing major additions like AUv3 support and the looper required substantial development resources and ongoing architectural work. To keep this project sustainable as an indie developer without resorting to subscriptions, these new advanced modules were introduced as an optional one-time purchase.   I truly value your early support and perspective, and I'll keep your feedback in mind as the app continues to evolve. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts!

### 5/5 — 최고의 tone3000 발사대

*2026-10-12*

axe i/o 로 아이폰15프로맥스, 아이패드 에어4세대로 구동확인은 물론 엄청 유용하게 사용중입니다.

톤엑스원에서는 턱턱 막히던 드라이브류 풀스택도 4-5단계까지 완벽하게 먹어줍니다 심지어 최후단에 둔 퍼즈 볼륨까지도 시원하게 나옵니다.

제작자분께 무한한 감사를 드립니다.

**Developer response:** 리뷰 읽자마자 감탄했습니다! 드라이브 풀스택에 퍼즈 볼륨까지 살려내시다니, 완전히 이 앱의 한계를 제대로 시험해 주셨군요!
아이폰 15 프로 맥스와 에어 4세대에서 모두 안정적으로 돌아간다니 최적화 소식까지 완벽하네요. 
제작자로서 이런 리뷰를 만나면 가슴이 뜁니다. 
멋진 연주 계속 이어가시길 응원합니다! :)

### 4/5 — Nearly perfect

*2026-10-10*

This is one of, if not the best apps I’ve tried for NAM A2. I really hope to see an AUV3 version in a future update. It’s amazing this app is free, the pitch shifting works more accurately and with less latency than some of the paid apps. Only other feature missing is a parametric eq. Keep up the good work!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the wonderful feedback and kind words! Parametric EQ is actually something actively on my radar for upcoming updates. Stay tuned, and keep making great music!

### 5/5 — 대박이네요!

*2026-09-19*

여러모로 섬세하게 신경 쓴 부분이 많아서 너무 편합니다! 이게 무료라니ㅠㅠ 공연때 써도 될 것 같아요!

**Developer response:** 좋게 사용해 주시고 따뜻한 응원 남겨주셔서 정말 감사합니다! 앞으로도 계속 만족스럽게 쓰실 수 있도록 꾸준히 다듬어가겠습니다. 즐거운 연주 되세요!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.1.4 — 2026-11-08

NAM FX 2.1.4 makes Transpose follow your playing much sooner and sound cleaner.

Fixes and changes
- Transpose responds much faster, most noticeably when shifting down an octave, and single notes come out cleaner
- On iPhone, the CPU number at the bottom turns yellow at 45% and red at 55%, where audio actually starts to drop out

### 2.1.3 — 2026-11-06

NAM FX 2.1.3 fixes MIDI tap tempo over Bluetooth and lets AUv3 plug-ins follow the app's tempo.

Fixes and changes
- MIDI tap tempo works with Bluetooth controllers, and a pedal connected over both USB and Bluetooth counts each press once
- AUv3 plug-ins in the chain (Pro) receive the app's tempo and time signature, so tempo-synced delays follow TAP and MIDI tap tempo

### 2.1.2 — 2026-10-25

NAM FX 2.1.2 connects Volume and Wah 95 blocks to your expression pedal automatically, and keeps the tuner muted when you change presets.

Fixes and changes
- Adding a Volume or Wah 95 block connects it to the expression pedal (volume on CC 11, wah on CC 1). Presets you already have connect when opened, and connections you made yourself stay as they are
- Trying to put a pedal's number on a switch now tells you where that number belongs
- With the tuner open on Mute, changing presets or resuming no longer lets the sound through
- With a MIDI Captain connected, tap the first sentence in the MIDI window to get the setup files and install steps
- The tempo switch (Per preset or Global) is no longer in the metronome window; it is in Settings > General

### 2.1.1 — 2026-10-23

NAM FX 2.1.1 makes the Quality / CPU setting on NAM blocks take effect, and more audio interfaces show all their inputs.

Fixes and changes
- Quality / CPU on NAM blocks now takes effect. Lite runs the capture at a lighter size to save CPU, and Auto switches to it when the device runs hot. The cell is locked for captures that cannot change size
- The tone shows when a capture runs at a different sample rate than it was made for (such as a 48k model at 44.1k) and when it runs at the lighter size
- The Quality / CPU cell that did nothing on Preamp and Body IR is gone
- Audio interfaces that are not in the list now offer every input and output the device reports, so a Babyface Pro with the guitar on inputs 3/4 works
- Input and output layouts added for interfaces from RME, Audient, Focusrite (Scarlett 4th Gen), MOTU, Universal Audio (Volt), Steinberg, Roland, SSL and Arturia
- Undo now covers path I/O, output routing and MIDI mappings, and leaves the tempo where it is
- MIDI Captain on firmware 5 (Feather RP2040) now shows Apply and Switch lights in the MIDI window
- Resuming after unplugging and replugging an audio interface no longer fails with “Audio could not start”

### 2.1.0 — 2026-10-21

NAM FX 2.1 brings other AUv3 effects into your custom chain. Shape your sound in greater detail with the new parametric EQ block.


New in PRO

- AUv3 Hosting: Add installed AUv3 effects as blocks using PLUG-IN at the top of the chain, and control them through their own plug-in interfaces. Settings are saved with your presets.
- Insert and Send: Use plug-in blocks in Insert or Send mode. Send routes to the Space return and preserves Trails.
- Per-scene Plug-in Settings: Save different plug-in parameter values for each scene.
- Per-device Plug-in Selection: Assign a different installed plug-in to the same block on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
- Global EQ: Choose Bell or Shelf for bands 1 and 5.


New Features and Improvements for Everyone

- Parametric EQ Block: Drag directly on the EQ curve to shape your tone, and view the incoming signal with a real-time analyzer.
- Auto Wah: Adjust response times with new Attack and Release controls.
- Steadier Tap Tempo: TAP and MIDI tap tempo average your last 10 taps to reduce tempo fluctuations as you tap steadily.
- Smoother Scene Changes: Improved delay behavior to prevent pitch bends in the repeats when switching scenes.
- Compatibility with Newer Presets: Blocks that require a newer app version pass audio through unchanged and display an update notice.
