yaleD is a dedicated reverse delay audio effect, with full support as an Audio Unit (AUv3) plugin extension. Please note that while it works as a standalone app, it is designed to be used from other host audio apps such as GarageBand, AUM, Audiobus 3, Cubasis, etc! A reverse delay effect continuously listens then plays back reversed chunks of the audio input depending on the delay time, feedback and filtering settings. Can be used for both obvious or subtle effects depending on the setup. Since a reverse delay is sensitive to positional sync as well as delay time, the reversals are appropriately synced to the host transport timeline when playing back and using the beat-based delay time. Or the Hold Time button can be used to both sync and set the delay time manually by pressing and releasing it at the appropriate time. - Complete control over input gain, and independent wet and dry output levels. - Feedback with cross-pan and both low-pass and high-pass filtering. - Two available repeat behaviors when using feedback: one keeps all repeats reversed, while the other alternates each repeat reversed then forwards. - Delay time specified either in milliseconds, or as beats (with 1/16th note resolution) synced to host tempo. You can also specify the maximum delay time (up to 20 seconds!) in the settings to control the per-instance memory usage. - Can apply a delay time scaling offset to the second channel for interesting stereo effects. - Optional Tape effect when changing delay time. - One-Shot mode for doing triggered records and single reverse playback. Great for playing a solo in and reversing just what you want to hear. The hold/record and replay buttons can be controlled with MIDI bindings. - All parameters are exposed to the AU host so that you can apply automation or MIDI bindings from the host - Easy to use resizable plugin interface optimized for host apps on both iPhones and iPads. Made for fingers!

BLEASS Granulizer is an innovative granular effect processor crafted for musicians, producers, and sound designers who want to transform incoming audio signals into rich, evolving textures and immersive soundscapes. It works by slicing audio inputs into small "grains" and reassembling them through real-time modulation of different parameters that you can visualize thanks to a 3D visualizer: Modulate - Volume - Pan (represented by width in the visualizer) - Size ( = grain’s duration) - Density ( = frequency of grains generation) - Offset ( = the amount of time between record and play represented by the depth in the 3D visualizer) - Backward/Forward Playback Direction - Shape ( = grain’s envelope, represented by the height dimension in the visualizer) - Warmth ( = strength of the distortion applied to the grain) - Tune ( = grains can be pitched up or down according to different modes: “Fine” / Chromatic / Major / Minor / 5th / Major 7th / Minor 7th / Octave. The amount of randomization can be set with the “dice” knobs. Density, grain size, and offset range can be freely synced or beat synced to the host’s tempo. Touching and holding the visualizer modifies pan and density. BLEASS Granulizer takes up to 4 sources from different busses as inputs (compatible host required such as AUM). When multiple busses are on, each grain is randomly extracted from one of the available sources. BLEASS Granulizer is your unique granular texture effect for reshaping any audio source into a dynamic granular soundscape in ways you've never imagined.
