Julienne is a record you can cut. Load a sample and Julienne finds its tempo and its transients on its own. Chop it where you hear it, play the chops from the pads, spin and scratch the platter with your finger, and warp anything onto a grid without touching its pitch. Then take the whole session — chops, tempo and order — into wherever you finish tracks. CHOP • Tap the waveform to lay a chop; SNAP pulls it onto the nearest transient • Nudge, trim, reverse and rearrange — a pad is a slot, not a fixed chop • GATE, NOTE and NEEDLE decide what a pad does while you hold it • LOCK CHOPS keeps your chops in place while you play them PLAY • Drag the platter to spin, brake and scratch, with the weight of a real one • 33 and 45, varispeed, reverse • Time-stretch and warp to a grid with the pitch left alone STEMS • Split any song into drums, bass, vocals and other, right on your iPhone or iPad (iOS 16 or later) • Play while it splits; mute and solo stems on the deck, and chop and export what you hear EXPORT • Sampler projects, DAW sessions and plain WAV — the export sounds like the session, because both come out of the same engine • Add your chops straight into a project on your MPC Sample's card • Everything lands in Files, or goes straight out through the share sheet CRATES • Keep records in crates, and send them between your computer and your phone over Wi-Fi PLUGIN • Julienne runs as an Audio Unit (AUv3) inside AUM, Koala, Logic and other hosts, so the deck lives in your session MIDI • Play the pads and turn the controls from any MIDI controller, wired or Bluetooth • Learn any control by moving it FREE AND PRO Julienne is free to load, chop, play and run as a plugin. One purchase, once, unlocks stems, exporting and crates — and it follows your account onto every device you sign into, phone and computer alike.

Magnetic Echo is a vintage-inspired multi-head tape delay and spring reverb effect for iPhone and iPad, built for warm echoes, ambient trails, dub feedback, and evolving analog textures. Inspired by classic tape echo machines of the 1970s, Magnetic Echo combines the movement and imperfections of magnetic tape with the flexibility of a modern AUv3 plugin. TAPE DELAY Three playback heads create layered and rhythmic repeats, from short slapback echoes to spacious multi-head patterns. SPRING REVERB A dedicated spring tank with adjustable decay and tone, for that unmistakable splashy, metallic space. WOW & FLUTTER Real tape isn't perfect — subtle pitch drift and mechanical wobble give every repeat organic character. FEEDBACK & SATURATION Push the feedback path from gentle repeats into self-oscillation, with saturation adding color and character on every pass. FROM DUB TO AMBIENT Create warm guitar echoes, psychedelic textures, washed-out ambient trails, rhythmic delays, and dub-style feedback. HOST READY Works as an AUv3 Audio Unit plugin inside AUM, Audiobus, GarageBand, Cubasis, Logic Pro for iPad, and any other AUv3-compatible host. %100 FREE No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, and no ads.
