About

REPUN

Read full description

REPUN is an analog-minded chorus and vibrato processor 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 sound is built around BBD-style delay behavior, band limiting, compander contour, and controlled waveform instability. The result moves with tonal weight instead of sounding like a clean digital modulation layer placed on top of the source. FEATURES - BBD-style chorus and vibrato character - Free-running or host-tempo-synced modulation - Continuous dry-to-chorus-to-vibrato Mix control - Adjustable Rate and Depth - LFO Wave shaping - BREEZE drift and random-motion control - Instrument and line input modes - 2x and 4x processing modes - Standalone iOS/iPadOS app - AUv3 audio effect for compatible hosts TRY BEFORE UNLOCKING The working release model assumes 10 minutes of full-featured active use, shared between the standalone app and AUv3 extension. A one-time, non-consumable In-App Purchase unlocks unlimited use in both formats, with Restore Purchases available in the standalone app. Confirm this behavior in the production build before submission. REPUN works on guitars, keyboards, synthesizers, pads, drones, and melodic layers that need width, instability, or animated pitch movement.

VU202 FX brings the sound and behavior of the free VU202 app into your AUv3 workflow. It uses the same VU202 engine, rebuilt as a compact audio effect for producers who want that crunchy sampler character directly inside their favorite iOS host. Run drums, loops, synths, vocals, or whole buses through the VU202 signal path. Shape the tone with four character modes: HIFI, STANDARD, LOFI, and LOFI2. Choose LEFT, RIGHT, MONO, or STEREO input routing, set pad-style volume, then build your own six-slot effects chain. Available effects include Pitch, Pitch Free, Filter LP, Filter HP, Filter BP, EQ Low, EQ Mid, EQ High, Comp, Drum Comp, Limit, Delay, Tape Delay, Flanger, Phaser, Reverb, Ring Mod, and Vinyl Sim. Use it for gritty resampling color, lo-fi drums, filtered breaks, unstable tape-style echoes, pitch-shifted textures, crushed mono grooves, animated modulation, vinyl wear, and simple SP-style tone shaping without leaving your AUv3 session. VU202 FX is not a generic clean effect. It is made to give your audio the attitude of the VU202 engine: direct, rough, musical, and fast to control.
