Voice bot is a real time channel vocoder. A vocoder takes the spectral information of one sound also known as a modulator and uses it to shape another sound called a carrier. The resulting sound is a bit like a singing robot. Use the microphone to play live or record your own loops for playback, with a few different trigger modes using the keyboard. Further process the sound with a bit and sample crusher, delay and flanger. Play with the built in 25 key dynamic keyboard or using core MIDI with options for MPE. Run voice bot stand alone on iPad and iPhone or as a AUv3 plugin in your favourite host. Connections to other apps are also available through Audiobus and Inter Appp Audio. +++ Microphone input +++ Vocoder with up 128 filter bands +++ Polyphonic carrier source or Mono with glide settings +++ Built in 3 Oscillator carrier source, with saw, square and noise shapes +++ Record or import carrier sample loops +++ Freeze spectrum +++ Bit and sample rate crusher +++ Pitch tracking using Yin algorithm +++ 4 tap stereo delay +++ flanger +++ Multiple sample loop trigger modes +++ 25 key dynamic keyboard +++ Core Midi, Bluetooth Midi, Inter App Audio Midi and AUv3 MIDI +++ Midi CC available for all audio parameters +++ Limited MPE Midi support +++ Modulateble parameters: bands, bit crush, sample crush, delay feedback, flanger mix, vibrator and pitch bend

VintageRack is a minimalistic and convenient multi-effect application that contains modules realistically modeling notable retro gear from the early digital era with their inherent aesthetics and atmosphere. Most of the effects in this application have been inspired and based on the principles of actual hardware from the 70s and 80s, which is great for giving the sound of any instrument the nostalgic and emotional mood of old recordings. This application has a clean and intuitive user interface with a well-considered structure. The signal path is split into seven slots: the first for input control, the last for output, and five customizable effect modules in between. Each module features a master fader for adjusting effect presence and a mute button for smooth toggling. These parameters can be easily assigned to MIDI controls right from the main screen, improving both workflow and productivity. Smooth transitions between presets and on-screen pads for quickly switching presets that can be easily assigned to MIDI controls allow flexible effect selection during live performances or studio recordings. Another great feature of VintageRack is the ability to set a lower bit depth of processed signal, typical for early digital devices, both for the entire path and for individual modules. As with these devices, this application models pre- and post-processing of the analog signal both before and after the digital circuits with the addition of companders, emphasis and filters, which makes the sound similar to the real devices. Effect modules: - Analog modeled compressor. - Three band equalizer typical for mixing consoles. - Classic and reverse delays with modulation feature. - Two Chorus modules are precise emulations of known devices. - Two modules of Flanger with different options and tones. - Two modules of Phaser with various sound character. - Filter module controlled by LFO or envelope generator. - Faithful emulation of classic Wah effects with added automation. - Combined effect of Tremolo and Vibrato with separate rate. - Ring modulator with additional modulation of carrier. - Three types of Fuzz with modulated filters. - Emulation of one of the early digital reverbs. - Vintage exciter with bass enhancer. - Spring reverb with tube preamp. - Advanced formant filter with voice synth mode. - Input slot contains Noise gate and Automatic gain control. - Output slot contains tape-style saturation and three types of tonestacks. VintageRack is a universal application for iOS and macOS. It can work on iPhone and iPad as well as Mac / MacBook with M1 chip (and later). VintageRack works on iPhone and iPad standalone, as an Audio Unit or Inter-App Audio module, and supports Audiobus and Ableton Link. On MacOS, VintageRack can works both as a standalone application and as an Audio unit (AUv3) with DAWs and other hosts that support AUv3 plugins. All application features are available on iOS and macOS, including MIDI support (with a MIDI learn option) and audio unit parameters. VintageRack has a built-in detailed description of all parameters also available as PDF file on the application site.
