About

ORORON

Read full description

ORORON is a touch-sensitive boutique overdrive for iPhone and iPad. Use it as a standalone audio app or insert the included AUv3 effect in a compatible host such as GarageBand. Its circuit-informed signal path combines discrete-style input behavior, asymmetric clipping, post-drive tone shaping, and supply-voltage interaction. The AIR control works before the clipping stage, letting you tighten low-end energy before it drives the nonlinear circuit. FEATURES - Responsive boutique-style overdrive - Pre-clipping AIR high-pass control - Adjustable Level, Tone, and Gain - Selectable 9V / 18V headroom behavior - Instrument and line input modes - 2x and 4x oversampling modes - Standalone iOS/iPadOS app - AUv3 audio effect for compatible hosts TRY BEFORE UNLOCKING The working release model provides 10 minutes of full-featured active use. Demo time advances only while the standalone app or AUv3 effect is actively processing. A one-time, non-consumable In-App Purchase unlocks unlimited use in both the standalone app and AUv3 extension. Restore Purchases is available in the standalone app. ORORON is designed for guitar, bass, synthesizers, keyboards, and other sources that benefit from touch-sensitive drive and controllable low-end response.
