Reel2 is a characterful AUv3 tape delay for iPhone and iPad. Add warm, musical echoes inside compatible Audio Unit hosts, then shape the repeats with tape-inspired controls for saturation, tone, age, wow and flutter, feedback, width, and dry/wet mix. Use free-time mode for manual delay times, tap tempo when you want to play the delay in by feel, or host sync when your session tempo should drive the repeats. Factory presets make it quick to start, and user presets let you save your own favorite echo settings. Reel2 includes a five-minute trial for audio processing. The Full Version unlock is a one-time non-consumable in-app purchase. Features: - AUv3 effect for compatible hosts - Free-time, tap-tempo, and host-tempo modes - Natural feedback through saturated self-oscillation - Tape age, tone, saturation, wow and flutter - Stereo width and equal-power dry/wet mix - Factory presets and saveable user presets - One-time Full Version unlock with restore support

SansApp is a free, open-source editor for the Tech 21 SansAmp Programmable Bass Driver DI Elite — the desktop-only editor, now in your pocket. Connect over Bluetooth MIDI (or USB) and: • Edit every control live — Drive, three-band parametric EQ, the Red Zone functions, Compressor, Auto Filter, Ambience and Chorus — with a live tone graph and hardware-calibrated units. • Work with cabs the way the pedal does: browse your pedal's own cabs with real frequency curves, then design your own — bake a high-pass into a cab so you can drop a standalone HPF pedal, blend two cabs, or build a filter from scratch — and upload it straight to a user slot. • Manage all 128 presets: recall, step through, and back up / restore / share your whole pedal. You'll need the pedal plus a Bluetooth MIDI adapter (a CME WIDI Jack is recommended) or a USB MIDI interface. SansApp keeps everything on your device — no account, no sign-in, no data collection.
