All the Aufx plugins belongs to my default setup…
That it sells, that it snow, always in my iPad. First and most importantly, for their processing quality. Both for their ease of use. Three for their midi implementation .... yes, the 4 plugins of the serie Aufx are all fully controllable via Midi ... and this is gorgeous! When I play live, I can switch from one preset to another with my Blueboard pedalboard and manage the volume with my expression pedal. When I use them for a mix, I have 4 fully automatable effects... and this is awesome too. The Aufx series it’s a reverb, a delay, a compressor limiter, and this equalizer.
A 32-bit DSP engine. Two parametric peak filters with gain, frequency and Q. Low-shelf filter with gain and frequency. High-shelf filter with gain and frequency. The cherry on the cake. They all come with a stereo tracks audio recorder and a bypass button… so with one of this plugins in your iPad you can record anything on the go, with the Fx or not…
A killer App without any hesitation! A Must Have without any hesitation too!

I love this song... I don't know if 50 years old is my mid-life... I don't think so... Tap on the image above for more info about Funky Turnip and to listen "Mid life crisis" without the awesome AUFX: PeakQ plugins...
Music Box Composer was and it's still the best Music Box App in the App Store. Unfortunately the App stopped to be developed in June 2014. After my last review, 2 more updates were released. The App was really beautiful, the generating sound... A real Music Box. The built in sequencer, very powerful with lots of great features. I was beta Tester for this App, and I remember some discussions with its developer... He was a real fan of Music Box instrument, and because of this, he wanted to make an App the closest as possible as a real Music Box instrument... A lot of respect for this developer...

Music Box Composer is very well done & the sound is really good. The Edit mode is really easy to use, with some clever options. You can share your Song on Facebook, Twitter and Email. If a friend of yours has installed Music Box Composer on his iDevice, he will be able to play your Song with the Music Box 3D player and if you had checked the "Allow Editing" button before to share your Song, he will be able to Edit it! For me, the only drawback is the tempo mode which doesn't displayed the bpm (i know that with a "real" Music Box it is really hard to play in time but...). Music Box Composer is a Killer App !

Music Box Composer is pretty well done & the sound is really good. When i've begun to do my demo, i wanted to record No Surprise from Radiohead... Then i realized that there were no sharp & flat notes. So i wrote a email to the developer. Here is his answer: There are no sharps and flats because the scale matches the physical music boxes with paper strips that you can purchase - there is also a 20 note paper strip music box, also with no sharps or flats. I've been thinking I should offer half notes that are 'illegal' for the music boxes, but allow you to compose whatever you want, since I can do anything on the device, so a future version will allow this. Copy and paste is high on my list too. So, Musical Box is a Super App! With this future update it will certainly become a Killer App.

Plectrum is a classic emulation of plucked string instruments. It is impossible not to fall in love with its deep and complex sonority. Plectrum supports USB and Bluetooth MIDI devices and works both as a standalone application, and as an Audio Unit plugin for GarageBand and many other hosts.
So, this is the App Store description… When I look the picture, it’s look like a Luth. When I listen to the generated sound, I like it, but, I am not totally sure that I am listening to a Luth… or a Luth mix with a clavinet… The App is very simple. 4 knobs, 1 for the Attack, 1 called Feedback (sustain) and the 2 last one for the Speed and the Depth of a Tremolo effect… strange for a Luth… on the bottom left side, a menu. Audio Unit plugins insert… (bugs) On the bottom right side, another menu. The presets library. 3 presets.
In Summary: It's not sound like a real Luth, but, it’s not very important excepted if you was looking for a top Luth sound in the App Store… and even this, is not so important, because this App is totally Free, no App in Purchases… so, a big thanks to the developer…
Note: the emulated sound is very good, the 4 knobs allows you to create a new instrument, unknown at this moment…
So, a Super Good App for free!

App Store description:
Back in 2008 when the App Store was very young, Yonac released miniSynth, the very first iOS synthesizer. Compact and user-friendly, it introduced hundreds of thousands of iOS users to synths and paved the way for the great things to come in mobile music making.
We have come a long way since, continuing innovation with our flagship synth Magellan. As our apps grow more and more sophisticated, we wanted to also continue the heritage of the original app that started it all. So, here with all its elegant simplicity is miniSynth 2.
miniSynth 2 continues the spirit of the original, adding advancements we made in DSP, design and features over the last half decade. Simple and easy to use, miniSynth 2 projects a solid, fat tone from a strategic feature set -- an "abbreviation" of the sophisticated features we offer in our pro-grade synthesizers.
Like all our synthesizers, no compromises are made with sound and functionality. There are NO samples used, just real-time virtual analog synthesis.
miniSynth 2 also includes production-friendly features, such as Audiobus output, audio copy/paste, and a MIDI In port for playing miniSynth with an external controller or a virtual-MIDI app.
For the iOS pro and the novice alike, miniSynth 2 is intended as a back-to-basics synth answering the call when the inspiration strikes.
-- 32-bit professional quality DSP
-- Extremely low latency
-- Dual analog-modelling oscillators
-- Virtual-analog Low-Pass Filter with full ADSR and Contour
-- Amp ADSR
-- Delay
-- Reverb
-- Audio Backgrounding
-- Audiobus Output
-- MIDI In
-- Built-in tapedeck
-- Audio Copy/Paste
-- Soundcloud
-- 30 Factory Presets
-- Ability to save user presets in provided user banks
OS >= 7.1

An App like no other. A Synthesizer, a sequencer, and 2 random melody modes. If I stopped there, you would tell me that there are other Applications like this one in the App Store.. And you'd be right. But here, one of the two ramdom mode is quite particular .. the Life Like mode. Each time your sequence will repeat, (Step Sequencer : from 1 step to 32 steps) notes will die forever while others will survive. Others will rebirth..These notes can be all the notes of the sequence, or only those included in an area previously defined. Another thing you will not find in another App is the possibility of assigning a different midi channel for each octave of your sequence. In total, 22 octaves can be played simultaneously, and this because you have the possibility to select your scales from the Scales library menu or to create a custom one. By selecting one or more octaves on a vertical axis you will have the possibility to generate a fill at the end of your pattern for example, for all midi channels assigned to these octaves (colour).. By selecting one or more octaves on a horizontal axis, you can generate a ramdom melody for all the midi channels assigned to these octaves. (You can select a Scale from the built in library or create a custom one.) You can also use Xynthesizr for live performances... move all the notes to the left or the right, up or down, flip them horizontally or "vertically", you can change the octave, the roots'note, or transpose all your sequence with one finger tap. The built in Synthetiser is called Purle synthe: 16 voice polyphony / 2 antialiased oscillators per voice / 4 waveforms (sine, triangle, sawtooth, square) 4-pole (24 dB / oct) low-pass resonant filter / 2 ADSR envelope generators (amplitude and filter cutoff frequency) / 2 LFOs to modulate 4 selectable LFO targets (filter frequency, pitch, amplitude, second oscillator detune) / Stereo delay, reverb and randomized panner
To conclude, Xynthesizr allows you to do an incredible number and different things according to your imagination. It will be also a good companion theses days when you will be lacking in inspiration. A Killer App!
Audiobus / IAA / Ableton Link / Midi support

Today: KASPAR! From Yonac. Inc
This is the App of the day. It seems to be another awesome App from Yonac. I sent them a message this morning... I am waiting... I pray...
Also. For the next Sunday Contest, I already received a lot of promo codes!
And you also know that I received 2 redeem code from Intua..
For Beatmaker 3. It means that still have one. I will never have enough time to post the review before this next Sunday... Because of this, the winner of Beatmaker 3 will be the most assiduous readers... Check every posts from now.. Try to notice, something... Unusual... Strange...
Have a good day or night.

- mood is awesome! Really! A Must Have, and not only for the keyboard’s players… A Must Have for all of us the iOS Musicians! And if like me, you love the old vintage and fat sounds… wahoo! Perhaps that I have to explain the “why”, at least, a little bit… If I say, 3 independent oscillators, 1 FM generator, 1 noise generator (white and pink noises), an envelope modulation with an ADSR. Cool, no? OK, if I add 1 filter with an ADSR too, 1 extended LFO and an Arpeggiator. Arpeggiator that you will be able to use as a little sequencer. (16 steps x6). Top, no? Not enough? Ok, so I add 1 ring modulator with an ADSR too, I delay, 1 reverb and 1 distortion effect… I also add one Snapshot Pad! Ah,,... you don’t know what is a Snapshot Pad? it’s a Pad that allows you to create a new sound by mixing together the first four presets of a category, with a finger swipe only... Awesome no? Not enough? If I tell you that you can use all of these features to shape the sound of an old forgotten keyboard.. Yes, the Warp module! Terrific! It add a layer to your sound. This new layer can be as I said an external hardware or another App, the incoming signal of your built in microphone or a Sample...) Enough? No? For the live? No more stickers on your knobs, here you can set the colors of each knobs, the speed needed to control them with a finger gesture (I mean, with one little swipe, if you like, you can set the value of a knob from an extreme to another. All the mood parameters can be controlled via midi, the gyroscope of your iDevices and even with the keys of your keyboard... Ah, yes, the keyboard... The Elagonted keyboard... Watch the video demo.... OK! No? Impossible! OK,... You can use it as a Audio Unit plugins and fully integrated plugins... I explain… if you plug mood in AUM for example,, you don't have to switch from AUM to mood, the stand alone App… No, all the modules are there in AUM... So, you play with mood in AUM with its built in keyboard... This is really really awesome when you are working with a lot of Apps, when you are mixing a project or else… Ok? OK ! mood is from now my favourite keyboard... I am not kidding... I had a "coup de cœur"... A Must Have! A Killer App!

Review by Ed
I don't know this App...
I never open it before...
So, let's open it for the first time together...
In summary, BeatMaker 3 seems to be very powerful...
Very intuitive...
They kept the best from the past and add a lot of new features...
Already, I can say that BeatMaker 3 is a Killer App!
The only negative point... I will not sleep a lot to be able to make the tutorial...

- My rating... The first criterion is the App Store description. The last one is my taste and this is totally subjective... Each post come with a tutorial showing you all the knobs, menu, faders,.... Everything that you will be able to find in an App... I hope that this will help to make your own rating.
- If I really don't like an App, don't understand it or found too many bugs, I send an email to the developer.... I asked him if the App will be update shortly, I also offer my services as Beta Tester.... Most of the time, I will wait for a future update... Developers are humans too!...
