*** Note: DerVoco is an Audio Unit effect extension and requires an AUv3 compatible host app, like AUM, BM3, Cubasis or GarageBand. It does not run as a standalone app *** Make your synths or drums speak and sing! DerVoco is a vintage vocoder emulation. DerVoco uses analog modelled components including filters, envelope followers and companders to create a warm vintage sound instead of digital techniques like FFT. Features: • AUv3 Audio Effect and Audio Music Effect, works in all AUv3 compatible hosts. • Internal polyphonic VCO may be used as a carrier and can be controlled via MIDI, when plugin is loaded as AU MFx. • A special "input mode” where the carrier and modulator signals are encoded as the left and right channels of a stereo input signal. In this mode any synth plugin (e.g. BeepStreet Zeeon) may be used as a carrier signal. • 11 or 15 bands with on-screen equalizer. • Controllable filter resonance continuously blends from smooth to sharp and ringing sound signature. • Built in compressor and noise gate • Optimised to the limits: 60 filters take 4% CPU on latest iPads.

BLEASS Delay is the ideal tool for adding depth, movement and interest to your mixes. Whatever style of music you produce and whatever instruments you work with, its versatility and ease of use help you achieve perfect results with the minimum of fuss. Echoes are just the starting point. The integrated frequency shifter and dual filter give you deep control over the character and sound of every repeat, so you can achieve with a single plugin sound effects that would otherwise require a complete plugin stack and complex routing. BLEASS Delay also includes three LFOs, one each for the delay engine, the frequency shifter and the filters. As well as classic modulation effects such as chorus and flanging, these dedicated LFOs are ideal for creating exciting sound effects and epic, constantly-shifting soundscapes. FEATURES • Delay time synced to your host tempo (note values, including triplets) or set freely in milliseconds • Ping Pong mode with adjustable stereo width • Frequency shifter applied cumulatively to each repeat • Low pass and high pass filters: drag on the graph to set cutoff and resonance • Three LFOs, each with depth, rate and stereo phase offset up to ±180° • Feedback from a single echo to infinite repeats • Dry/Wet control • Preset manager with factory and user presets, plus a preset generator • Clear single-screen interface on iPad and iPhone WORKS WHERE YOU MAKE MUSIC BLEASS Delay is an AUv3 plugin.
