ToneBoosters Reverb is a studio-quality, professional reverberation AUv3 plug-in with an unrivalled workflow, unlimited creative use and a gorgeous, functional user interface. With its close to a hundred adjustable parameters, the integrated LFO for parameter modulation, integrated compression and gating, and its shimmer reverb module it is by far the most flexible and configurable reverb on iOS. The ToneBoosters Reverb app captures the microphone 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 Reverb will appear in the list of Audio Unit extensions for effect plug-ins. Key features: - Studio-grade reverberation including early reflections - The same professional sound as the acclaimed desktop version - Full control over room size, width, density, depth, mass - Integrated spectrum analyser showing direct and reverb simultaneously - Integrated equalizer to shape the reverberation character - Ability to modify reverberation time across frequency - Compression, ducking and gating for dynamic reverberation effects - Flexible, beat-synced LFO that can modulate almost everything! - Dual pitch-shift shimmer module for out-of-this-world reverberation - Reverb freeze option - Random parameter option to change the core reverb sound on the spot - Eco mode for lower CPU load on complex projects - Program manager with shared programs between stand-alone, IAA and AUv3 instances - Undo/redo, and A/B comparison - Color themes for the user interface - Max screen support in Garageband - Optimised for iPad and compatible with iPhone and iPod Touch Compatibility Please note that given the large flexibility and number of parameters that can be modified with this reverb, the use of an Apple pencil or stylus is highly recommended for smaller devices such as iPhone and iPod touch. 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.

Controlling the dynamics of your parts and recordings is an essential step towards a professional sounding mix. With BLEASS Compressor’s powerful performance and intuitive user interface, such pro-grade dynamics control has never been easier. BLEASS Compressor’s flexible dynamics engine makes it an ideal choice in many different situations. With compression ratios of up-to 60:1, a variable knee, and flexible attack and release stages, BLEASS Compressor can deliver a wide range of different response characteristics. The plug-in’s flexibility is further enhanced by a powerful dual filter that operates on the analysed signal, providing both low-pass and high-pass filtering. The filters work on both internal and sidechain signals, and are resonant too, making it easy to create dynamics effects that are highly frequency dependant. Despite its versatility and power, BLEASS Compressor is simple to setup and work with. Compression and filter curves are set using tactile graphical widgets, whilst you receive constant easy-to-read visual feedback about how the plugin is operating. Perhaps best of all, BLEASS Compressor is ultra-efficient, so you can include its intuitive dynamics control to any-and-every part that needs it.
