Read full description

P410 Joyride is a 10-band graphic equalizer that turns EQ into a creative instrument. Each band models an inductor-based LC resonant circuit, giving your sound the smooth yet weighty character of vintage analog hardware — a Tone Flux experience that breathes, bends and glows. Run it as a standalone app to process live audio, or load it as an AUv3 Audio Unit effect inside your favorite iOS host — GarageBand, Logic Pro for iPad, AUM, Cubasis and more. TONE, NOT JUST CORRECTION • 10 inductor-style LC resonant bands with variable proportional Q • EQ FLIP inverts your curve in one tap • SCALE spreads the band frequencies across the spectrum — from focused to ultra-wide • Key-aware tuning: shift the whole EQ grid by changing the A4 reference (440 Hz by default) SIX DRIVE ENGINES • Design your own input transformer character with 6 saturation engines (D1–D6), processed before the Voice Bias stage • From subtle thickening to glowing harmonic light SEE YOUR SOUND • Real-time multicolor spectrum analyzer • EQ+CURVE view shows the exact summed response curve • Precise IN/OUT RMS metering STUDIO TOOLS • Mid/Side and Left/Right matrix processing with solo • Q LINK for global bandwidth control • A/B compare and copy • 112 factory presets by professional engineers, organized in folders with favorites, import and export • Presets shared between the standalone app and the AUv3 plug-in MADE FOR iOS • AUv3 + standalone • Near-zero latency, CPU-efficient DSP • Full support for iPad and iPhone

EchoSketch turns delay and reverb into a live, playable instrument. Shape your sound in real time using a responsive X/Y performance surface designed for intuitive touch expression. At its core are four great-sounding delays: digital, analog, ping-pong, and reverse. The range for each parameter and the XY axes direction can be set independently, allowing you to easily morph between sounds. It works as an Audio Unit plugin or standalone — iOS or Mac. Comprehensive Delays • Digital (patterned after a legendary '80s rack delay), Analog (warm, with tape-style pitch glide), Reverse, and Left/Right Ping-Pong • Delay times can sync to tempo or be set in milliseconds • Feedback features delay-dependent tone shaping — bright for short delays and darker for long ones Convolution Reverb • Stereo or mono Spring, Plate, and Hall • Reverb path is separate from the delay (same as vintage tape echo units), so repeats don’t get washed out Modulation and Filter • Analog-style modulation for chorused, warbly pitch echoes • Tone control — darken or brighten delays, with a center detent for flat Designed for Hands-On Performance • HOLD / LIFT — leave the XY cursor in place, or touch the pad for momentary delay sounds • FREEZE — set the current feedback into an infinite loop and play over it • MOTION — record a gesture on the XY pad and loop it Presets and More • Presets are transferable between hosts • Two looks — light "Trail" and dark "Glow" • Works standalone with live audio or as an AUv3 plugin • Universal — iPad/iPhone also gets you the Mac version — one purchase • Mac: after installing, open EchoSketch once to use it as a plugin in your DAW • Works in AUM, AudioBus, GarageBand, Logic, and other AUv3 hosts
