About

Voxomat

This app transforms simple audio inputs into unique, human-meets-machine textures and sequences. It offers endless possibilities for both pitched and unpitched sounds, creating lo-fi aesthetics, chiptune effects, and vocal glitches. Designed for expressive live performance, it blends algorithmic automation with tactile control.

Highlights
  • Human-meets-machine audio transformation
  • Talkative, morphing sequences
  • Harmonic shaping effects
  • Lo-Fi aesthetics and chiptune effects
  • Rhythmic movement with synced LFOs
  • Responsive envelope follower
  • Touchscreen-friendly modulation sequencer

Voxomat adds a unique human-meets-machine character to your tracks. It transforms simple basslines into talkative, morphing sequences, while offering endless possibilities for non-pitched sounds like drums. Higher-pitched inputs can trigger complex harmonic shaping effects – the resulting inharmonic textures and FM-style intermodulation deliver a grit typical of Lo-Fi aesthetics. Conversely, these frequency modulation effects can also be smoothed out by using harmonically dense inputs, such as overdriven tones or overtone-rich sawtooth-based sounds. Using the plugin's modulation options in parallel opens wider sonic possibilities – for example, adding powerful chiptune effects to any source or mimicking the aggressive, harmonically shifting "tearing" sound of hard-synced oscillators. Based on the Ringotron engine, Voxomat utilizes a hybrid modulation architecture combining audio-rate modulation with resonators. FEATURES: • Complex rhythmic movement driven by an array of synced LFOs for deep, malleable modulation • Integrated envelope follower for responsive modulation • Touchscreen-friendly modulation sequencer for pitch FX control • Powerful resonant vocalizer for synth basses and all overtone-rich bass timbres • On unpitched inputs like drums, effects range from whispers to glottal textures and stronger vocal glitches • For pitched inputs, higher registers can more easily uncover robotic qualities as complex frequency relationships yield unique, inharmonic textures • The user interface is designed to blend algorithmic automation with tactile control, turning the effect into a responsive performance tool • Each preset features a set of primary performance controls pre-mapped for automation and expressive live play PLEASE NOTE: • An AUv3-compatible host is required to use this app • The plugin is designed as an audio processor and is not a MIDI note event processor or sequencer in its current form • Suported sampling rates: 44.1, 48, 96 kHz

VAPolyLoop features lowpass filter and amplifier which are optimized for playing by step sequencer. VAPolyLoop contains polyphonic synthesizer and analog style step sequencer. The synthesizer consists of three oscillators, resonant low pass filter, amplifier, distortion effect and five LFO. VAPolyLoop operates as a stand alone or as an AudioUnit Extension (AUv3) for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Stand Alone supports Ableton Link, MIDI and audio file export. Built-in Effects include delay, chorus, flanger, reverb, eq and compressor. Project files can be saved in iCloud Drive, so that the project can be accessed from iPhone, iPad or Mac. Main Features Polyphonic Synthesizer. Lowpass filter modeled on diode ladder filter. Distortion Effects Analog style step sequencer. Maximum 8 voice polyphony. it depends on performance of the device it is running. Built-in effects and piano roll sequencer. Audio Export. Linear PCM format (AIFF, WAV and CAF) and compressed format (AAC) Support Audio Unit Extension (AUv3). Support MIDI 2.0. Support Foot Pedal and Per Note Control. Support Ableton Link, Bluetooth MIDI, MIDI In / Out. Works on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Support iCloud Drive to share project files between the platforms. Full Factory Preset: 96, Effect: 40 Improvements Support MIDI Foot Pedal (CC#11, CC#64) MIDI CC Settings are saved. It will be recovered when the app launched in the next time. UI Color can be selected from black, navy or gray. System Requirements iOS 17.0 or later Devices with Apple Silicon are recommended. A13 Fusion or above is highly recommended. if sound is distorted when using a device with less CPU power, reduce number of voices. AudioUnit Extension (AUv3) requires host application which support AudioUnit Extension. AudioUnit Extension is supported by Apple Logic and Apple Garage Band on iOS and macOS. For any other DAW, it depends on the application and some of them don’t support AudioUnit Extension.
