TfxEcho is an echo effect AudioUnit Extension plugin. It uses delay lines which are inspired by BBD (bucket brigade device). BBD is used in various analog delay unit and is known for its warm and dark sound. The delay line uses fixed length buffer and an artificial clock to sample input signal in variable sampling rate. When the delay time is changed, the delay line can produce pitch change effect which is similar to the behavior of the BBD based analog delay unit. The delay line is inspired by BBD, but it is not emulation of the any particular BBD. Unlike the typical BBD based delay unit, frequency range of the delay line is not limited. The delay line is capable to capture signal in higher frequency up to about 22KHz. Features AudioUnit Extension - Delay Time: From 20 ms to 1200 ms - Feedback: From 0 % to 100 % - Adjustable lowpass filter and high-pass filter. - Modulation rate: From 0.01 Hz to 10 Hz - Modulation width: From 0 ms to +/- 10 ms - Delay time can be synced to tempo provided by the host application. Host Application Host application uses system audio input as an audio source and processed audio signal is routed to the system audio output.
WoodVerberator
This app offers advanced convolution reverb with adjustable parameters like damping, distribution, and stereo creation. It includes filters, modulation, gating, ducking, and delay effects, all controllable for the reverb tail. Users can load their own impulse response files and monitor audio levels.
- Adjustable reverb time (0-10s)
- Damping and distribution controls
- Stereo creation options
- Tail-only filters (HPF, LPF, Saturator)
- Tail-only modulation (Amplitude, Phase)
- Gating and Ducking with sidechain
- User IR file loading

WoodVerberator is a convolution based reverb with some extra features : - Reverb time can be set from 0 to 10s or to the IR file native length. - Has controls to adjust the reverb (damping, distribution). - Stereo can be created by either using a stereo IR file or by de-correlating a mono file or both. - Has an HPF, LPF and saturator which work on the reverb late part (Tail) only, the early-late boundary can be set. - Had Amplitude and Phase modulation which work on the reverb late part only, the early-late boundary can be set. - Has Gating which can also be driven by the side chain. - Has Ducking which can also be driven by the side chain. - Has an extra Delay which works on the reverb late part only, the early-late boundary can be set. - Has general HPF, LPF and De-Essing filters. - Has a quality control to balance the CPU load. - Has the standard Mix and Pre-Delay controls. - User IR files can be tried and added to the WoodVerberator IR folder so they appear in the IR dropdown. - Has Input and Output level meters. - Has a graph displaying the IR.
