Analog Stone is a focused AUv3 recreation of a legendary 1979 four-stage analog phaser. It brings the character and simplicity of the original pedal to iOS, powered by the same analog modeling engine as RealPhase. Where RealPhase takes the rackmount approach with its 50+ parameters (which can be more than some users need), Analog Stone does one thing beautifully: delivering that iconic, sweeping, psychedelic color with the raw immediacy of physical hardware. The plugin includes an add-on circuit that reduces the harshness and other non-musical artifacts that can emerge at high modulation rates (in free-running mode only). This makes the effect useful even in experimental settings such as glitch effects, with more possibilities to explore when modulating the rate parameter either manually or via external means. PLEASE NOTE: • An AUv3-compatible host is required to use this app • Supported sampling rates: 44.1, 48, 96 kHz • Host tracks must be at least CD-quality (44.1 kHz). Note that some virtual instruments, such as GarageBand’s Smart Instruments, operate downsampled at 22.05 kHz and are unsupported
JAX ONE XModulator Extended
This app offers a classic ring modulator effect with an analog-modeled unison oscillator for sound modulation and sonic refinement. It functions as a creative sound design tool and special effect processor with a unique 3D modular rack interface.
- Analog modeled ring modulator
- Unison oscillator modulation source
- Creative sound design tool
- Special effect processor
- 3D modular rack user interface
- AUv3 app extension

The JAX ONE series is a new collection of analog modelled audio units (AUV3 app extensions), available on all Apople Silicon platforms and devices. JAX ONE XModulator Extended is a classic ring modulator effect with integration of an analog modelled unison oscillator as modulation source and some further extensions for sound modulation and sonic refinement. It can be used as a creative sound creation tool and special effect processor. It features a freely navigatable 3D user interface in the style of a modular rack synthesizer. A video demonstration is available at : https://youtu.be/Zxw67vlKowQ?si=khKl64aPgyNRW8sr The manual can be found here : https://audio.digitster.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/JAX-ONE-XModulator-Extended.pdf This build is truly 'universal', meaning, unit is available for: - MacOS (Silicon) - iOS (iPhone) - iPadOS (iPads) - visionOS (Apple Vision Pro) Please note, that AudioUnits (AUv3) require a supporting host application to perform.
