Do you remember the single most iconic phaser you've ever heard? For the first time, there's a good chance of finding that exact sound captured in a plugin. FEATURES: • Faithful reproduction of a legendary 4-stage phaser pedal from the late 70's - early 80's • Complex effects can be built using composite LFO's, parallel phaser structures, as well as an independent modulation system for the sweep range • Barberpole or "Shepard" phaser included: infinitely rising / falling modulation that can optionally be combined with sweep range modulation • Strong, rhythmic / syncopated patterns can be created by configuring different LFO frequency ratios within the various modulation sources • Mid-Side modes allow adding special phasing effects to stereo sounds • Exact visualization of the notch filters' real-time frequency response, with different stereo options • Exceptional multirate performance: results are less sampling rate-dependent than what's currently available with most digital phasers (even from major manufacturers) • Designed to be an anthology app extensible with additional hardware-based or synthetic analog models in future MIDI NOTE EVENT RECEPTION: RealPhase can accept MIDI note messages, syncing an envelope-based modulation source to note on and off events. This makes it easy to use RealPhase as a powerful analog modeling OTA-based resonant notch filter with any synth or sampler. PLEASE NOTE: • An Audio Unit v3 compatible host app is required to use this plugin • Supported sampling rates: 44.1, 48, 96 kHz

ddtctmcc "2D Touch Control To MIDI Control Change" This is a touch control app that is designed to work with touch gestures and output MIDI Control Change messages. This app is available as standalone version that can run in background and as an AUv3. It features basic features: - 2D Touch Area where you can set 3 MIDI values (X, Y and Touch On / Off) that will be sent as MIDI CC messages - Two gesture recording modes: "Loop" and "Once": -- In "Loop" mode the gesture is immediately repeated infinitely. You can restart it and change the direction of gesture loop -- In "Once" mode the gesture is recorded silently and only played back later when "trigger" or "+pause" buttons are pressed. ... and some important extras: - Scene support. You can store all settings in a "scene" and switch between them. There is an option to set a transition time between scenes to morph loops. - Extended timing support. Start/stop and speed of the loop can also be recorded and played back. The recorded gesture loop can follow the host tempo when running in plugin mode. - Layers. Each instance of the app supports multiple output settings; scene switch is synchronised across all layers.
