ToneNoise is a focused Audio Unit v3 plugin for iOS: a precise test and noise generator for production, sound design, and technical work. Whether you need a reference tone, spectrum analysis, or relaxing noise — ToneNoise delivers four clear signal types with a small set of straightforward controls. The interface is built for fast use inside your host app. FEATURES • Sine wave with adjustable frequency from 20 Hz to 20 kHz • White noise — evenly distributed across the full spectrum • Pink noise — more natural character (−3 dB per octave) • Brown noise — deeper, softer sound (−6 dB per octave) • Amplitude control from 0 to 100% • Two AUv3 components: generator (augn) and effect (aufx) • Parameter automation and preset storage in the host • Compact, dark user interface IDEAL FOR • Reference and measurement tones in mobile production • EQ and speaker checks • Noise source for sound design and experimentation • Quick test signals in AUM, GarageBand, and other AUv3 hosts HOW TO USE TONENOISE 1. Launch ToneNoise once on your device (registers the Audio Units). 2. Open it in your host, e.g. AUM: – as a generator: Generator channel → Audio Units → AuIm → ToneNoise – as an effect: Effect slot → Audio Units → AuIm → ToneNoise

A classic algorithmic reverb effect based on the Freeverb algorithm by Jezar at Dreampoint. A Freeverb-style Schroeder/Moorer reverb based on the classic 8-comb + 4-allpass topology, with simplified controls and no stereo spread. This reverb creates lush, spacious ambience through a network of comb and allpass filters. Freeverb is widely used in electronic music production, ambient music, and sound design to add depth, space, and atmosphere to audio sources. The algorithm provides a smooth, musical reverb tail that works well on everything from vocals to synthesizers. This reverb only functions in mono and provides no stereo imaging, and the user can expect the same behavior as a classic Freeverb implementation otherwise.
