About

NinetyPhaser

Features
Read full description

NinetyPhaser is a four-stage analog-style phaser for iPhone and iPad. Use it as a standalone audio app or insert the included AUv3 effect in a compatible host such as GarageBand. A four-stage all-pass network creates focused notches and rounded movement, while input conditioning, nonlinear stages, and a modeled output path add responsive character. Choose a smoother open response or a deeper mode with stronger feedback. FEATURES - Four-stage all-pass phaser - Two circuit-response modes - Speed range from 0.05 to 12 Hz - Equal-power Mix control - Stereo Spread with offset modulation - Instrument and line input modes - Mono-to-mono, mono-to-stereo, and stereo-to-stereo routing - 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. NinetyPhaser works on electric piano, pads, synthesizers, guitar, bass, and other sources that benefit from subtle motion or a pronounced sweep.

An electric guitar effect for the laid-back sound: squashed until nothing jumps out. Just past clean. Wobbling a little. One repeat behind. That sound is not one pedal โ€” it is a whole vintage clean chain, and jj-midnight is all of it in a single AUv3 insert. Four blocks in signal order, each with its own on/off switch, plus a master strip. COMP โ€” An optical compressor with program-dependent release, the way a real opto box behaves: one knob for threshold, ratio and make-up together, so it squashes without asking you to think about it. A gain-reduction meter reads out what it is doing. This is the block the whole plug-in is built around. DRIVE โ€” Asymmetric soft clipping voiced for second harmonic rather than fizz, a tone rolloff, and a 1x12 cabinet with a movable mic position. Low gain on purpose. It goes from clean with weight to the edge of breakup and stops there. WOBBLE โ€” Amp-style amplitude tremolo with an LFO that morphs from a sine sway to a hard chop, free-running or synced to your host's tempo. SPACE โ€” One slapback repeat with no feedback, into a spring tank with dispersion allpasses for the chirp a real tank makes. THIRTEEN FACTORY PRESETS Default, Laid Back, Escondido, Porch Light, Whisper Trem, Magnolia, Breeze, Midnight, Sensitive Kind, Faded, Cassette, Night Drive, Flat & Even. Save your own from the preset window; swipe left to rename or delete. WORKS WHERE YOU WORK An Audio Unit v3 effect: GarageBand, Logic for iPad, AUM, Cubasis, BeatMaker, and any other AUv3 host. The included app is a working player, so you can hear the plug-in on a real guitar part before you open a DAW at all โ€” two dry recordings are bundled, or run your own playing in through the microphone. The panel is drawn procedurally rather than assembled from bitmaps, so it stays sharp at whatever size your host gives it, on a phone or a 13-inch iPad. FREE TO TRY Seven days free from first launch. No account, no signup, no subscription. After that, one purchase unlocks it permanently on all your devices. If you do not buy it, the editor keeps working and audio passes through dry โ€” nothing you built disappears. jj-midnight is an original effect. Preset names point at a feel or a place. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with any artist, label, or other plug-in maker, and does not recreate any particular recording.
