Secta is an audio effect that dynamically splits incoming audio in two sections and processes each with an exclusive kit of effects, sculpting silence, shaping accents and amplifying hidden details, guiding each layer into a parallel sonic dimension.  A sound-designer (unforeseen) dream. Secta is part of totem/ series by K-Devices: unconventional audio effects coming in a compact format, easy to use, at a lower, convenient price. Building on the concept of a multidimensional gate, Secta processes the audio in a unique way, adding an ephemeral and dramatic touch to acoustic instruments, warmly disintegrating loops, injecting abrupt drops and re-texturizing your lines, or throwing down any beat into a dark path of fragmentation. Hard-to-describe with classic effect categories, Secta processes both sides of a gated source independently, acting as a counterpoint amplitude sculptor.
  Secta cuts to (re)generate.  Secta is a colorizer, no mix parameters are available: just load Secta onto your track and let it inspire you with its timbrical shades.  A gate, a dynamic multi-distortion, a double headed tectonic monster, a trembling detuned textures generator, and more… so many uses of Secta have yet to be discovered! HOW IT WORKS At first, Secta splits the incoming signal acting as a gate effect: the user sets an amplitude threshold using the Verge and Boost parameters. The signal’s amplitude portion greater than the threshold value generates an envelope which controls the Above and Below sections. The envelope itself controls the frequency of a lowpass filter in the Above section (resulting similar to a lowpass gate), while its inverse value controls the amplitude of the Below section. Such envelope can be shaped using several global parameters: Smooth, Retain, and S/C. Above and Below sections process sounds using a different set of effects each: the more rumbling Above, the more textural and looney Below. Using one section at a time holds interesting sculpting results, while combining and balancing them is great for creating richer textures. SHAPE THE ENVELOPE /// Set Verge and Boost to create the envelope that will control Above and Below; use Smooth and Mode to shape it in different ways. 2 WORLDS /// Above and Below, two sides of the same sound, individual paths (different effects and moods), which eventually converge in a new sonic entity. SCULPT /// Above and Below sections come with Drive and Lo/Hi pass filter the get the perfect shape for any sound project. MANDATORY PROCESS /// No dry/wet here: embrace the totem wisdom and get processed! LOCK PARAMETERS /// Enable lock toggle to preserve key parameters values while browsing presets. IN-GUI INFOS /// Enable Infos toggle to get all parameters details always in sight; just tap on a parameter. 2 FLAVOURS /// Dark and light skin. *** Please note: Secta is an Audio Unit extension (AUv3) – it only works in an AUv3 host app like AUM, Logic, Drambo, Cubasis, etc... *** ## Key features - Dynamic audio splitting - Independent effect processing per layer - Amplitude threshold control - Envelope shaping - Customizable sonic dimensions - Colorizer with no mix parameters - AUv3 extension compatibility ## Recent user reviews (1 of 1) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/secta-amplitude-sculptor/id6472803517/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Pressed 5 star 7 times, to justify the respect for the DEV *2024-08-06* This thing hasn’t been made in this world, those who know, they know! How am I going to write a review when there’s lacking in Oxford dictionary as there aren’t suitable words for this creation! You can only experience it, yes. There’s only two options out there, as this is the one, no equal, Number 1) you gotta buy this now, btw the second one is pretty good, Option number 2) you gotta buy this after reading the first option We love you ! We truly do! ## Frequently asked questions about Secta ### What is Secta used for? Secta is an audio effect that splits incoming audio into two independent sections, processing each with a unique set of effects. It's designed to sculpt silence, shape accents, and amplify hidden details, creating parallel sonic dimensions for creative audio manipulation. ### How does Secta work? Secta functions as a gate effect by setting an amplitude threshold using Verge and Boost parameters. The resulting envelope controls the 'Above' and 'Below' sections, each with its own set of effects, allowing for distinct sonic treatments of the same input signal. ### What devices does Secta support? Secta is available for iPhone, iPad, and iPod. It operates as an Audio Unit extension (AUv3) and requires a compatible host app like AUM, Logic, Drambo, or Cubasis. ### What is the price of Secta? Secta is available for a one-time purchase of $6.99. It is part of the totem/ series by K-Devices, known for its convenient pricing. ### Does Secta have ads? No, Secta does not contain advertisements. As a paid application, it offers an uninterrupted user experience focused on audio processing. ### How often is Secta updated? Secta was last updated on December 19, 2023, with version 1.1. This indicates active development and support for the application. ### What is the age rating for Secta? Secta has an age rating of 4+, making it suitable for a wide range of users interested in audio effects and music production. ### Can I use Secta offline? As an AUv3 audio effect extension, Secta requires a host application to run. While the effect itself does not stream data, its functionality within a host app may depend on the host's offline capabilities. ## Version history (last 1 release) ### 1.1 — 2023-12-19 No release notes. ## Apps similar to Secta | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Amazing Slow Downer Lite](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/amazing-slow-downer-lite/id310204778) | 2.7 (111) | Free | Music | | [Artifacts Lofi Processor](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/artifacts-lofi-processor/id1632777433) | 4.9 (15) | $9.99 | Music | | [RTA](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/rta/id298839433) | 4.0 (25) | $4.99 | Music | | [Audio Spectrum Analyzer dB RTA](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/audio-spectrum-analyzer-db-rta/id1281873790) | 4.5 (3,042) | Free | Music | | [AudioTools, dB, Sound & Audio](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/audiotools-db-sound-and-audio/id325307477) | 4.8 (5,060) | $19.99 | Music | | [sub808](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/sub808/id6475637520) | 4.2 (10) | $9.99 | Music | ## More apps by K-Devices - [WOV : creative textures](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/wov-creative-textures/id1436765936) - [TTAP : delay gone deep](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ttap-delay-gone-deep/id1504425941) - [Shaper 2 : audio destroyer](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/shaper-2-audio-destroyer/id1552411931) - [LFOH!](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/lfoh/id1609270466) - [Magma : sound as matter](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/magma-sound-as-matter/id6444836522) - [TATAT : midi streams generator](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/tatat-midi-streams-generator/id6449191050) All apps by K-Devices: https://appshunter.io/developer/1151339600 ## Related topics [noise gate auv3 plugin](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/noise-gate-auv3-plugin) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
