Tapko Komp is built for moments when compression needs to be fast, clear, and dependable. It is especially at home in live setups: one main Amount control, five musical modes, readable metering, and no deep menus to slow you down. Put it on vocals, bass, drums, buses, backing tracks, or a live input and get controlled dynamics quickly. It also works just as well for everyday mixing, production, and sound design when you want useful compression without overthinking the setup. Choose between five compression flavors: - Soft for transparent leveling - Glue for bus-style cohesion - Bass for steady low-end control - Punch for transient-friendly compression - Hard for heavier squeeze and attitude Set the mode, turn Amount, and shape the result in seconds. The interface shows gain reduction, output peak, and lift metering so you can see both how much Tapko Komp is compressing and how much auto makeup is bringing quieter details forward. Features: - One-slider compression workflow for quick live decisions - Five mode voicings for different sources - Real-time gain reduction and lift metering - Output peak readout in dBFS - Output gain trim - Low CPU mode for lighter sessions - Factory presets plus save and delete for user presets - AUv3 support for compatible iOS hosts Support: https://tapko.davidguva.se

ANALOGyKIT Virtual Analog Drum Kit (AUv3) Introduction ANALOGyKIT (“analog-ee kit”) is an AUv3 virtual instrument plugin that can run standalone, or in any AUv3 compatible host such as Logic Pro, GarageBand or AUM. Please note that the standalone version does not include a built-in keyboard - you need to connect a suitable MIDI device to play the synth. Please also note that ANALOGyKIT is not a drum machine, so does not have a built-in pattern sequencer. It has been designed as a virtual drum kit / drum module controlled via MIDI, using a separate sequencer plugin or piano roll in a DAW. ANALOGyKIT currently runs on iOS (iPad & iPhone) and macOS (Intel & Silicon) and is available as a Universal Purchase from the Apple App Store. If you’re planning on using ANALOGyKIT on Mac / desktop, please ensure that your favourite DAW / host supports AUv3 (not just AU). NOTE - ANALOGyKIT uses the same synthesis engine as ANALOGyDR so you can think of ANALOGyKIT as 8 x ANALOGyDR, plus pitch-sweepable oscillators, lo-fi bit-crushing, dedicated per-voice effects and a master / mixer section. Design Overview ANALOGyKIT is an 8 voice virtual analog drum synthesizer, i.e. it does not use samples. The design is based on the sound engines in early analog drum machines for the late 1970’s and early 80’s. Each voice comprises two tuneable pitched oscillators (with sweep), two noise sources and a variable mode filter with envelope. A lo-fi bit-crushing effect can also be applied to each voice independently. All eight voices have their own dedicated tempo-sync delay and reverb with gate effect. The master output section includes an 8 channel stereo mixer and simple one-knob controls for compression, limiting and clipping. Presets ANALOGyKIT comes with factory presets for Kits and individual Drums, and user presets can be saved or loaded using the OS file system browser. New Kits can be generated automatically by combining sounds randomly from existing factory Drum and Kit presets.
