Currently an introduction price is active. JAX TubeFlavour adds classic Tube/Transistor saturation/distortion/excitement to a mix, with adjustable taste and just 2 parametric values. The mix also can be chosen to fit different tastes. It adds typical tube characteristics and should be used sparingly for analog boost and warmth. With this Essential Series effect we are continuing our collection of realtime audio processing plugins, which are technically app extensions that can be shared across all applications that support AudioUnits (AUv3) format like for instance Apples GarageBand and Logic Pro. So you easily can extend your arsenal of audio processing tools and share across different hosts and platforms. This build is truly 'universal', meaning, unit is available for: - MacOS (Silicon) - iOS (iPhone) - iPadOS (iPads) - visionOS (Apple Vision Pro) MIDI automation is inbuilt. Just select the MIDI Controller for the desired automation parameter. Multiple assignments are possible. All parameters are exposed for direct AU automation too. The complete manual is included and can be previewed on our support website. https://audio.digitster.net For advanced usage (i.e. mastering and exciting), we recommend to select the phaser from our SELECTIVE RANGE SERIES, which allows to limit the frequency range for processing. Behaviour on all devices is identical. The parametric interface is resizeble and adopts to any screen size and orientation. This especially applies to Logic Pro X and all hosts with adjustable window sizes on all platforms. Display contrast can be adjusted freely and is now saved with each preset. Please note, that AudioUnits (AUv3) require a supporting host application to perform.

Loopseque's advantage is price ($0.99 vs $5.99) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). On ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
