CURRENTLY INTRO PRICE IS ACTIVE. Note: AudioUnits (AUv3) require a supporting host application to perform. The main app can be used standalone. JAX AudioVisualizer is an app extension (AudioUnit - AUv3), which can be hosted by any application, that is supporting Apple's audio unit framework. It comes with its own embedding host application for using it standalone. By inserting the JAX AudiioVisulaizer plugin into an available audio effect slot, the streaming sound can be visualized with several selectable and relatime switchable shaders. There are allot of (audio unit) parameters for editing and automation available and exposed. For practical usage, there is a parametric editor overlay available too. The latest version also supports loading of users artwork as alpha transparent *.png images as an overlay, whereby the artwork can be fade in and out dynamically. There is always more and actualized info on the product website at: https://audio.digitster.com This build is truly 'universal', meaning, the audio unit is available for: - MacOS (Apple Silicon) - iOS (iPhone) - iPadOS (iPad) - visionOS (Apple Vision Pro) Please note, that the MacOS Catalyst versions may be sold separately, as the AppStore does not allow to bundle none-silicon apps. Please also note, that AudioUnits (AUv3) require a supporting host application to perform.
