TwinPath enables parallel effects processing using your existing Audio Units, without configuring busses or complex routings. It hides the details of managing multiple signal paths, and offers a compact, quickly accessible control interface. The result is a consistent setup you can easily recreate in any DAW, regardless of how each host handles audio routing. Among its possible applications, TwinPath pairs especially well with delay effects for dynamic performances. Shifting focus from deep editing to switching between (or blending) entire modules opens up a new perspective and new features – especially when feedback delays are involved. And of course, both approaches can be applied at the same time. Once inserted into a track’s effects chain, TwinPath handles splitting and merging audio streams and provides several convenience features. It offers two main classes of operation: CROSS-FADE • Blend between two effects chains using a single control • Switchable pre/post operation: pre mode preserves effect tails and lets feedback effects "breathe", while post mode offers instant, direct control DUAL MONO • Run different effects chains for Left/Right, Mid/Side, or a continuous blend between them • Channel mapping and FX bias are smooth, performance-friendly controls • Quick and efficient workflow replacement that overcomes functional limits of stock dual mono modes, such as restrictions on independent preset loading PLEASE NOTE: • An AUv3-compatible host is required to use this app
Little Arp Monster

WHAT IT IS Little Arp Monster is a MIDI arpeggiator that goes well beyond the usual. Build patterns from arpeggiated notes, full chords, rests, and even notes outside the chord, then let them evolve across a full arrangement. A finely tuned randomizer creates unique, musical patterns or alters your own, and a single Spice dial lets you decide whether you want classic, tasteful arps or wild ideas no traditional arp is able to generate. It's an arpeggiator for musicians who want to compose, not just repeat. WHAT IT DOES * Step grid: sequence scale degrees, full chords, and rests across 16 steps to build rhythmic patterns. Change the key and every note follows. * Scenes: each comes with its own settings and step grid. Use them for variations on one idea, or completely different motifs. * Arranger: set a progression that plays out over time - swap chord types, shift degrees, transpose the key, or switch scenes exactly when you choose. * Modulation lane: shape Velocity, Cutoff, Decay, or any CC. Locks to the same steps as your notes and follows when you switch scenes. * Randomize and Mutate: both always stay musical. Spice decides how adventurous it gets - from classic tasteful arps to patterns no arp could ever produce. * Built-in audition synth: hear your arp directly in the app without needing a connected instrument. REQUIREMENTS * iPad with iPadOS 15 or later, or iPhone with iOS 15 or later * An AUv3 host that supports MIDI processor plugins, e.g. AUM, Cubasis, or Drambo
