IMPULSation is an impulse response/convolution reverb that allows you to load in your own impulses for an an unlimited amount of neverb and amp possibilities. To give you an idea of the power of this app: There are literally hundreds of thousands of impulses freely available online and our app will load them all, given that it’s properly formatted in either .wav or .aif format. Say for example you have an electric piano sound that you want to run through a classic Fender™ AMP. You do a web search for “Fender AMP Impulses” and pick from the thousands of possibilities. You will literally spend hours upon hours freely downloading all of the available spaces, amps, reverbs, and/or delays to use within your favorite AUv3 DAW. The technology of convolving and deconvolving is a method of putting in a signal through an amp, reverb unit, delay unit, or space and with sophisticated mathematical interpolations techniques, you can create a very close replica of the actual source. Our IMPULSation is specifically designed for AMPs, reverbs, delays, and spaces of which our code is optimized to detect which is being used. The detection allows us to optimize the signal for better CPU and for optimal sound. As with all of our other apps, our goal is always simplicity with power. We give you all the important features needed for a great sound, without being too complex. The features are as follows: NEW UPDATED FEATURES: ▪ BlueTooth MiDI Capable ▪ iCloud Backup and Sharing of Presets ▪ Enhanced AUv3 Preset Resizing ▪ Expansion Pack Banners and Branding ▪ Metal support, Faster UI, Faster loading, and major CPU Updates ▪ Two Mode MIDI Program Change General Features: - AUv3 - AAX - 88 Factory Presets - The ability to load in your own impulses using the iOS files app (Works With External Drives via iPadOS) - MIDI Learn parameter **SPECIAL NOTE: Importing works by selecting a folder with .aif or .wav files in it and all of the files will be imported from that folder. App Controls: - Pre-Delay - Wet Controls with Range control for precise scaling - Dry Controls - Decay Controls - Waveform View - Stereo Widener that enhances pre-stereo signals - Master Output Includes Over 200 Impulses from very popular vintage reverb units: - LEX200 - LEX480X - RLND RE201 - RLND DEP3 Echo - EMT 244 - NBA Lush - ASR-10/DP4 - Exotic Places - Special FX ------- ATTENTION iFX Rack Users: 1.

Digital imperfections - modelled accurately! BitJuggler is the most complete audio AUv3 available today to simulate vintage digital processing and to recreate digital imperfections. Whether you'd like to go down memory lane to create that 80's digital sound from early personal computers, add vintage sampler character to your audio tracks, or shape your audio beyond analog simulation: BitJuggler will deliver the digital imperfections with painstaking accuracy. Go beyond bit crushing BitJuggler covers all your basic bit crushing needs, with various quantization schemes such as linear, a-law and mu-law quantization and with an optional envelope follower. In addition, the audio resampler with a variety of resampling algorithms easily produces that creative digital aliasing sound. Add musical noise BitJuggler also includes speech and transform codec simulators to accurately generate musical noise as you would get from transform codecs such as MP3 or AAC. A GSM speech codec adds spectrally shaped noise by employing linear predictive coding (LPC). Or you can keep it simple and experiment with dithering and perceptual noise shaping! Pre and post emphasis for further shaping of imperfections BitJuggler ads options for pre- and post emphasis for digital clipping, quantization and resampling to provide unique capabilities to further shape the effect of the bit crushing process. Visualize changes BitJuggler has a unique visualization feature: it will show the errors introduced by bit depth and sample rate reduction in real time. The ultimate plugin for educational purposes: allow students to hear and see the imperfections that are being introduced. Keep it moving Modulate bit depth and resampling properties with the integrated low-frequency oscillator (LFO) and generate moving sound scapes in which aliasing and quantization components travel in time and frequency. The ToneBoosters BitJuggler app captures the microphone (or external sound card) input and processes the signals in real time. To use it as a plug-in, use an AUv3-compatible host app such as Steinberg Cubasis, Apple Garageband, Audio Evolution Mobile Studio, Auria, AUM, or others. ToneBoosters BitJuggler will appear in the list of Audio Unit extensions for effect plug-ins. Key features: - Wide range of options for bit crushing and resampling - Pre and post emphasis to shape the sound - Undo/redo, and A/B comparison - Color themes for the user interface - Adjustable colours for every filter section - Max screen support in Garageband - Optimised for iPad and compatible with iPhone and iPod Touch - Efficient, low CPU usage What you should know: - Licenses acquired for this platform are not compatible with other platforms. - Audio Unit (AUv3) extensions require an iPad mini 2, iPad 4 or later models.
