The InSeam App works in conjunction with the ISFM2201 hide-away Bluetooth audio module from iSimple, providing users a simple utility for managing their vehicle’s new integrated Bluetooth streaming audio and hands-free features, controlled via the stock steering wheel controls. InSeam goes far beyond other generic car Bluetooth kits by allowing users full control of their Bluetooth enabled smartphone or Tablet using their favorite Voice Recognition (VR) applications, all using the vehicle’s built-in steering wheel radio controls and their current FM radio. The InSeam App is used to remotely adjust certain, otherwise inaccessible, system settings, as well as providing users convenient access to the product’s user guide and other relevant online resources. From within the InSeam application, users are able to change the FM listening station from the default 98.1 MHz to any desired value between 88 MHz and 108 MHz. The InSeam App also allows operators to change the device name, adjust or reset the steering wheel control values, clear any previously paired Bluetooth devices, and even remotely update the hide-away module’s firmware.

JULY is a faithful emulation of one of the most iconic polyphonic analog synthesizers from the early 1980s. We spent months living with the original, studying every quirk and charm, from the warm, steady DCO to the silky filter and that unmistakable chorus, then modeled its circuits in detail to bring its soul into software. Available as AUv3 and Standalone
