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.

About

TurboBeast

TurboBeast is an engine you play: a drift synth with a gas pedal instead of a keyboard. Every rev is synthesized live from a combustion pulse train -- no samples, no loops. Pick a machine, start the engine, and drive the sound: squeeze the gas, stab the brake, bang through the gears, and slide the rear end until the tires sing. SIX MACHINES -- 2 FREE, ALL 6 WITH PRO - 2ST RACER -- ringing two-stroke bike (free) - SUPERSPORT -- screaming inline-four - CRUISER -- lazy V-twin thump - DRIFT SEDAN -- turbo four built to slide (free) - ROTARY COUPE -- high-strung rotary - V8 MUSCLE -- heavy eight-cylinder rumble REAL DRIVING CONTROLS - ENGINE START, gas pedal with LATCH, brake and steering - Sequential or H-pattern shifting, gears 1-6 with real ratios - Gas + brake together breaks the rear loose: drift, tire squeal, backfire - Rev limiter stutter when you pin it SET THE SCENE - 6 tires x 5 road surfaces x 4 exhausts x 4 stages (highway overpass echo, local street, rural road, warehouse) - SUB layer for chest-deep low end, adjustable brake BITE and FADE PLAY IT LIKE AN INSTRUMENT - MIDI notes pitch the engine, so you can write riffs with it - 12 ready-made MIDI controller maps, pitch bend rides the gas - On iPhone and iPad it also runs as an AUv3 plugin in GarageBand, Logic Pro, AUM, Cubasis and more - A guided first-launch tour points at the controls that matter FREE VERSION Free to drive: 2ST RACER and DRIFT SEDAN with every control, every tire, road, exhaust and stage. Tap any locked machine for a short test drive before you decide. TURBOBEAST PRO -- ONE-TIME PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION - All six machines - Record, export and share your runs For iPhone, iPad and Mac.
