Some low-end tools are static. Elyfino listens! Feed it a bass line, 808, kick, synth, guitar, drum bus, or cinematic hit, and it builds movement from the source. Make the low end feel larger without losing control. Elyfino is a real-time AUv3 effect for producers, beatmakers, mixers, and sound designers who need controlled low-end and harmonic edge. It combines program-dependent compression, source-tracked subharmonics, fuzz (optional), split-band tone shaping, wet/dry blend, calibrated output, factory presets, user presets, and MIDI control in one focused processor. Key features: - Source-tracked subharmonic generation for bass, 808s, kicks, toms, synths, guitars, impacts, and post sound design. - Comp, Subharmonics, Sub Mix, Sub Focus, and Sub Detect controls for tuning depth, punch, tracking sensitivity, and sustain. - Clean Path routing for low-end reinforcement without fuzz. - Powerful Fuzz for growl, translation, density, and harmonic edge when the sound needs more bite. - Tone, Mix, and Output controls for color, parallel blend, and level-matched gain staging. - 25 factory presets covering Utility, Bass, Sub Design, Drums, Guitar, Synth, Post, and Parallel workflows. - User presets with iCloud-backed sync for keeping custom sounds available across devices signed into iCloud. - MIDI learn, manual CC assignment, default CC mapping, and optional MIDI broadcast for hardware and host control. - Standalone version with Audio Settings, CoreMIDI input routing, and a built-in manual for setup and reference. - Mono and stereo AUv3 effect operation with supported 44.1, 48, and 96 kHz sample rates. Use Elyfino subtly to reinforce fundamentals, harder to make bass and drums shake the earth, or in parallel when you want controlled weight under the original performance.
MIDIHuman Comp

MIDIHuman Comp is an AUv3 MIDI processor for the chord part — organ, piano, pads, guitar. It makes no sound of its own: your chords go in and come out on their way to your instrument, played the way a comping player would play them — a little different every time round. It never writes new chords for you. It works on top of what you play: variations happen only on the steps you mark, only as often as you set, and always on the chord your loop plays there. HUMANIZE AND GROOVE - A chord lands a little late now and then — the whole chord together, never smeared into a strum — and velocities move - Quantize toward a grid and add swing LEARN - Hears the key — or set it yourself - Remembers the chord on every 16th (up to six notes each), in loops of 1, 2, 4 or 8 bars, and names it - PLAY keeps the learned chords going by themselves; FREEZE keeps them exactly as they are VARY AND FILL - On a chord: an octave on top, the next inversion, a top note that leans and resolves, a staccato chop, a re-strike - Between chords: organ stabs, and chords that arrive early - Eight chord fills — inversion climbs and drops, stabs, triplet stabs, doublings, a drop-out, an anticipation. Tap FILL or set Auto Fill - Swaps: move everything an octave, or spread the voicings from close to open PRESETS - Factory presets: Organ Stabs, Gospel Push, Soft Pads, Funk Chops, Harmony Lines - Your own presets and stored chord loops; host parameters for automation - A searchable User Guide inside the plug-in WITH THE MIDIHUMAN FAMILY Load MIDIHuman Drums, Bass or Lead in the same host session and they find each other: one shared groove, fills that start and hit together, and a FOLLOW fader for each sibling. - One shared key with Bass and Lead; voicings kept above Bass and below Lead - Sends your chords to Bass, so its walks and fills follow your changes - Harmonize: now and then doubles Lead's line a 3rd or 6th below - With Drums: lean on the kick and sit in its pocket Each MIDIHuman app is sold separately and works on its own. REQUIREMENTS - An AUv3 host that loads MIDI processors and provides tempo and transport. Tested in Loopy Pro. - A chord sound after it — an AUv3 instrument, another app or hardware. - Without the host's clock it still humanizes; learning, variations and fills need the clock. - iPad and iPhone.
