About

D

Read full description

D-Chorus is a BBD-style spatial chorus for iPhone and iPad. Use it as a standalone audio app or insert the included AUv3 effect in a compatible host such as GarageBand. Designed for width with minimal audible pitch wobble, D-Chorus combines very slow, shallow modulation with opposite-phase left and right movement. Its four modes range from subtle widening to a deep, expansive chorus that feels more like space than an obvious sweep. FEATURES - Four vintage spatial-chorus modes - Opposite-phase left and right modulation - Equal-power Depth dry/wet blending - Width control from mono to hyper-wide - Adjustable input gain from -12 to +12 dB - BBD-style delay and compander behavior - Optional 2x and 4x oversampling - Standalone iOS/iPadOS app - AUv3 audio effect for compatible hosts TRY BEFORE UNLOCKING The app provides 10 minutes of full-featured active use, shared between the standalone app and AUv3 extension. Demo time advances only while audio is actively processing. A one-time, non-consumable In-App Purchase unlocks unlimited use in both formats. Restore Purchases is available in the standalone app. D-Chorus is suited to synthesizers, guitars, vocals, electric piano, and pads that need stable dimension and stereo depth.

GLYPHTONE is a pocket-sized step sequencer built around one simple idea: tap a grid, hear a pattern. โ€” 16ร—16 GRID โ€” Sixteen steps across, sixteen pitches down. Tap a cell to place a note, tap again to remove it. Watch the playhead sweep across as your pattern plays back. โ€” 9 TIMBRES โ€” Bell, Piano, Organ, Strings, Brass, Lead, Pad, Bass, and a dedicated Drum voice with nine distinct percussion sounds built in โ€” all synthesized live, no samples to download. โ€” SOLO OR ENSEMBLE โ€” Solo mode keeps one timbre per cell, so switching instruments recolors your whole pattern instead of stacking new sounds on top. Ensemble mode lets you layer multiple timbres in the same cell. โ€” GENERATE โ€” Stuck for ideas? Generate builds a fresh phrase in one of ten shapes โ€” Up, Down, Wave, Zigzag, Random, Drum, and more. Keep pressing Generate to reroll variations, or Undo up to five steps back. โ€” SCALES & OCTAVES โ€” Ten scales (Major, Minor, Dorian, Blues, In Sen, Ryukyu, and more) and a ยฑ2 octave range, so the same grid pattern can sound completely different. โ€” FOUR BARS โ€” Work across four separate bars, each auto-saving as you go. Chain any combination of them together for longer arrangements that loop in order. โ€” EXPORT โ€” Render your pattern to a WAV audio file, or save it as a Standard MIDI File to bring into your DAW. No account. No ads. No internet connection required. Everything happens on your device.
