GliderVerb is a “Reverberator with Glissandos” simulating a room gradually changing its shape. It is an expanded version of an algorithm created by James McCartney for his Supercollider 2 programming language. The original algorithm had no user-variable parameters: this device adds a series of parameters to create a wide palette of effects; from evolving reverberations to granular disintegration to smooth resonances. Main Features: - Audiobus and Inter-App Audio support (sender and FX) - Continually Modulated Reverb Algorithm - Pitch Resonator - Ribbon Resonance Player - Pad impulse generator - Built In Stereo Sampler with varispeed - Control Manager LFO for Parameters - Midibus, Virtual Midi and Network: 14 bit NRPN controllers - File Manager, sharing common audio files via iTunes, Dropbox and AudioCopy - Snapshots Presets Morphing Pad - Post Fx Chain: Low-shelf Filter, High-shelf and Compressor New Version! We removed the "annoying voice" and now you can use all the Gliderverb features, even the Pad and the Ribbon. The only limitation is you can't save new presets; but you still can load the old ones you made, using the two arrows you find on the left and right side of the preset name (top side of the main window). With the in-App purchase you can access the Preset Manager, Control Manager and MIDI enable the Pad.

SA60 AUv3 plug-in — comes as time-limited Demo-version for you to try. It gives you 5 minutes of Free play time. (You can reload the SA60 AUv3 plug-in as many times as you want, thereby you get the Demo period again and again.) Unlimited version of SA60 AUv3 plug-in comes as In-App Purchase. Features: • Standalone and AUv3 plug-in; • Stereo (Mono), Mid or Side EQ modes; • Undo/Redo; • A/B comparison; • 2x/4x/8x Upsampling; • Macro controllers; • Built-in Gain Match; • Scalable GUI. Red Rock Sound SA60 real time 1/3 octave Spectrum Analyser combines ease of use, accuracy and versatility in one economical, reliable unit. Interface is modelled on classic DN60 spectrum analyser, originally developed in 1980. Control & Indicator Functions: • DISPLAY LEVELS — Relate to the Reference level, calibration of a display level is read from graticules on the left of the display window; • REFERENCE LEVEL — The absolute level to which display readings are relative, i.e. calibration, is given in dB; • OVERALL LEVEL — Calibration of the overall level is similary derived from graticule to the right of the display. Note: this graticule applies to the overall level only! • AVG/PK — Two leds indicate whether the display is Averaging or Peak-reading; • RESP. — Speed of display response is selectable: «1» — Fast, «2» — Medium, «3» — Slow (shown by three leds); • MODE — Controls the display mode: «L» — Left, «M» — Mid, «R» — Right. EQ302 is a 32 band equaliser offering 12 dB of cut or boost in 1/3 octave steps between the frequencies of 16 Hz and 20 kHz. The graphic equaliser is a vital component in any audio system. The entire signal passes through it and so any limitations imposed by the equaliser will compromise the performance of the whole system. For example, an indifferently designed equaliser may introduce severe phase distortion, noise and other anomalies related to centre frequency accuracy, filter shape and attenuation accuracy which may manifest themselves as an overall deterioration in the perceived sound quality of the system. Clearly, this is an unacceptable state of affairs, but fortunately your choice to utilise a Red Rock Sound EQ302 Graphic Equalizer will eliminate these problems, offering you unprecedented product performance coupled with the highest filter calibration and reliability standards in the industry. To use SA60 as a plug-in, you need an AUv3-compatible host app like GarageBand, Auria, AUM, Cubasis and more — SA60 will appear in the list of Audio Unit extensions for effect plug-ins in the host app.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SA60 at 5.0 against GliderVerb's 4.6. SA60 also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). GliderVerb's advantage is ratings volume (85 vs 11). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
