What's New in VOLBot

2.0

February 21, 2024

- fully 64bit internal audio resolution, the rendering is converted to 32bit only at the final stage while delivering the signal to the output. - The standalone version of VOLBot can now export and import preset bank files directly from its VOLBotiOS document folder, which is easily accessible with the iPAD Files app.

Crashes immediately on launch in iOS 18

Pls fix, and will revise review

All classic

Wonders!

Clever.

Quite wonderful, really. Such a unique and twisted means of processing audio. It's exactly the sort of modulation that I adore - spending hours configuring or programming modulators and LFOs and effect chains and mapping parameters and scaling and on and on...

Now I can drop a few clients on these layers and get nasty with VOLBot.

Really hope to see more iOS offerings from these developers. Cosmos is a work of art. Fundamental is also a must, for those 'experimental' people out there.

FAQ

What is VOLBot?

VOLBot is a paid iOS application designed to provide real-time control over multiple audio tracks within a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). It acts as a central controller for balancing and modulating track volumes simultaneously.

How does VOLBot work with other apps?

VOLBot utilizes a distributed audio plugin architecture. You need to download the free VOLBotClient app as well, which works with VOLBot iOS as AUv3 plugins on separate DAW tracks to enable remote communication and control.

Can VOLBot be used offline?

The application requires a DAW environment to function, which typically involves a computer. While the app itself is installed on iOS, its use within a production workflow implies an internet connection for DAW operation and potential cloud syncing, though the core plugin functionality is local.

What kind of modulation does VOLBot offer?

VOLBot generates stochastic control waveforms, meaning they are based on random iterations. This allows for algorithmic variation in intensity modulation across all connected VOLBot instances, offering unique creative possibilities.

Does VOLBot have ads?

No, VOLBot does not contain advertisements. It is a paid application with a one-time purchase price of $34.99.

What devices is VOLBot compatible with?

VOLBot is currently supported on iPads. It is designed to integrate with DAWs that support AUv3 plugins.

How often is VOLBot updated?

The app was last updated on February 21, 2024, indicating active development. Users can expect regular updates to improve functionality and compatibility.
