'ab vortEx X' for iOS is a 'Light', stereo-only version of 'ab vortEx', an abstract spacetime designer for creating infinite variations of reverberations using our Spatial Audio algorithms under the hood. 'ab vortEx' for iOS comes as an AUv3 Plugin and is compatible with any iOS host that supports AUv3 (e.g. Garageband). The plugin contains a minimalist interface, compatible with Touch Screens - as you move through the screen, you can control how the algorithm works and how the reflections of the sound spread through time and space.

About

FlangerLope

Read full description

FlangerLope - Envelope Flanger Plugin (AUv3) FlangerLope is an audio effect plugin that can run standalone, or in any AU compatible host application such as Logic Pro or GarageBand. Overview FlangerLope is a slightly unusual spin (no pun intended) on a classic effect that uses a very short modulated delayed signal that mimics a sound that was originally produced by slowing down a reel-to-reel tape recorder by touching the flange of the tape reel, hence the name! FlangerLope can produce classic flanging effects, with the option of a warmer, vintage-voiced "Analog" mode, and also adds an envelope-follower function with variable response time. Unlike some flanger plugins that have an envelope mode, FlangerLope can also combine the traditional LFO modulation and envelope modes, to create some really interesting and dynamic flanging effects. A variable Spread parameter also gives full control of the stereo width of the flange effect. While I designed FlangerLope primarily for guitarists, it can add an interesting dimension to just about any audio source.
