 The App of the day? Sunrizer Synth! I love this Synth by BeepStreet. It never leave my iPad... Also, not a lot of App today like all this week... From East Asia. It looks like the western countries are still in holidays.... I am not sure to be able to launch the Sunday Contest this Sunday because of a Call back for the Syfy casting.... More infos tomorrow. I forgot, a new game seems to be really cool,... Check it out below.... Have a nice day or night depending of where you are in the Galaxy! My best Ed Kap! PS Check out the SuperLucky button today....  App Store description : * We are excited to announce our new long-awaited iPad app: Zeeon synth. To celebrate the launch we've put Sunrizer on-sale for a limited time (50% off) "This really is the synth that keeps on giving! Inspiration and intuition truly blend together in this musical instrument." Alan Parsons Sunrizer Synth is a virtual analog synthesizer that takes the definition of iOS synthesizer to the next level. Thanks to carefully designed architecture and heavy usage of coprocessor it blurs the boundaries between iOs and hardware synthesizers. Sunrizer was built to perform and works perfectly with any MIDI keyboard or sequencer. A lot of research has been done in order to achieve unheard warmth and clarity. HIGHLIGHTS · True SuperSaw sound emulation, first found in the legendary Roland JP-8000 synthesizer. SuperSaw is a layered waveform consisting of multiple saw waves which are detuned to create an extremely full and epic sound. · Two filters per voice with configurable routing. 15 filter types available, including less common like Comb, Formant or Frequency shifter. · The Morph Group function lets you continuously morph of up to 30 parameters in a sound (including effects), using only the modulation wheel. · Full support for CoreMidi, MIDI mapping, Virtual Midi Ports and background audio. · Multi mode lets you multiply oscillators to get unbelievably fat and full sound. · Support for microtuning - load scl and tun files. Create fascinating microtonal music which uses intervals not found in the Western system of 12 equal intervals to the octave. OSCILLATORS · 2 warm-sounding analog modelled oscillators, 2 sub-oscillators (except SuperSaw). Available waveforms: Saw, PWM pulse,Triangle, SuperSaw, FM (frequency of phase modulation). 6 oscillators per voice in multi-sono mode. · Oscillator 2 hard-sync and configurable routing · FM (true frequency modulation) and PM mode · Osc-mix, ring modulator · White noise oscillator FLEXIBLE MULTI FILTERS · Two independent filters per voice with configurable routing. Filter types: LPF, HPF, BPF, Analog LPF, Notch, Comb, All pass, Power LPF, Power BPF, Wave shaper, Resonator, Resampler, LPF+Resampler, Frequency shifter. · Configurable routing: serial or parallel with bypass option. · ADSR envelope, keyboard tracking and full LFO control. MODULATION · Two LFOs per voice. It's possible to assign each LFO to almost any parameter. 3 LFO running modes: trigger, 1 shot, global. 6 waveforms, phase and fade-in knobs. · The Morph Group function lets you continuously morph of up to 30 parameters in a sound (including effects), using only the modulation wheel. · Two Modulation ADSR Envelopes for amplitude and filters cutoff. · Pitch and modulation wheels. EFFECTS · A number of effects are built in: distortion, hi-q reverb, chorus, rotary speaker simulation, equalizer, phaser and stereo delay. Dual-band FX processing. ARPEGGIATOR · Sunrizer incorporates very powerful programmable arpeggiator. You should think of it more like a small step sequencer. OTHER FEATURES · Over 380 presets, 7 additional banks available for FREE in web library (more coming soon) · Hold button allows you to to keep notes sustaining until you play new notes · With Chord Memory function you can play the chord by only pressing single keys · Phrase sequencer · Compatible with AudioBus · Adjustable polyphony: 6-20 voices · Playback modes: poly, solo, arp · Built-in recorder supporting AudioCopy, DropBox and iTunes file sharing. · Supports MIDI, IAA, AudioBus 2.0 Visit www.beepstreet.com for user manual and audio demos. * Sunrizer is now available on Mac and PC, check our website for more info "Specs aside, the most important thing is the sound… and it’s great." musicradar.com "Sunrizer is the first truly mature polyphonic synth for the iPad, a real, smooth and powerful sounding option for all sorts of stage and studio performances."

 Korvpressor is a compressor. So, a dynamic effect… as all the dynamic effects it can be dangerous to use for people who don’t really know how to use them, or the “good” way to use them… but Korvpressor is so simple to use, that it’s a good option for beginners. Wait! If I am saying this, you will certainly think that this compressor is not for professional sound engineers… but, no! I never said this! Korvpressor is great for both… the quality of processing is great, but it is so easy to use! An input, a Squeeze, and an Output. 3 handles to drag up or down… the Squeeze is the Compression value. Set to the max (down), it will start to Pump (a little bit) your input signal. 3 rotary knobs for the Bass, Mid and High frequency are also available. Cool! Another switch named Lookahead will add a little delay to your output signal. Note that I am not totally sure of the real purpose of this switch… I think that it reduces the CPU usage of your iDevice… (for this reason, the little delay…). I made a test with a Mix, Drums, guitar and vocal, and every time Korvpressor made a great Job! Note that on an entire Mix, you can easily use it as a Maximiser… in summary, Korvpressor is a Must Have for everyone because of its great UI, because you will not destroy your signal with it, because the quality of processing. A Killer App!
Review by Ed  A very long time ago, in the previous millennium, there was no computer, so we had to record a real Drummer to make our recordings. In 1959, Wurlitzer released the first electro-mechanical drum machine called the Side Man, and a lot of others were released after. Cool for electronic music… In the middle of 1970, the first audio samplers start to arrive. With them and a lot of hours of programming, it was possible to “unused’ a Drummer during a recording session for an average result. When the iPad was released, some Drum Loop Apps were released. So cool, no more Audio CD with unnamed tracks, and no BPM… at this time, it was a revolution… in 2013, an App has been released: SuperMetronome Groovebox. I remember this day… I said to myself. “It’s not a metronome! It’s the future of the Drum Machine!“… Do you know the LumBeat Apps? I don’t know a better way to create a Drum track in 10 minutes. Not a Drum Machine track! A real Drum Track record with a real Drummer! Yes, I don’t the name of the Drummer, because he is super shy and always succeed to hide in my iPad, but when I ask him to Jam on a pattern… wahoo… he jams! Yes, it’s crazy! And the worst, is that you can create your own patterns, select the sound for the 5 drums instruments, and ask the hidden Drummer to play a Fill when you like! Also, a Live Pads mode is available. 8 Pads, 8 patterns that you can control via Midi… A Song mode too. To conclude: There was before and after the LumBeat Apps. I am not kidding! It’s the ultimate Apps for creating Rhythms. I forgot to say 2 things: The sound quality of all the Sound Set is awesome! And 4 effects are also available: Compressor, Reverb, Delay, and EQ. My only problem is that I don’t know how to offer a coffee to the Hidden Drummer after a recording session… A Killer App! A Must Have!
Review by Ed   The App of the day is Zeeon synth! And I am really happy because there is so many time that the BeepStreet team didn't released an App... Also all the App design by Paul are on Sale today... Have a nice day or night depending of where you are in the Galaxy! Cheers Ed   App Store description: Zeeon is a virtual analog synthesizer, powered by an advanced analog circuit modelling engine. We spent a lot of time analysing iconic analog synths, both vintage and modern, to find out which parts of the circuit contribute most to their specific character. We used this knowledge to create a unique synth, with focus on what’s most important - the pure, organic and detailed sound. Many analog synth emulations sound dull. Not Zeeon. We take care of the entire spectrum range from deep lows to sweet highs. All audio and modulation signals are processed at 176 KHz (4x oversampling). Full manual and audio demos available at the BeepStreet website. Features • Audio Unit v3 and standalone application with a simple polyphonic step sequencer • 2 oscillators with continuously variable waveforms, hard-sync and sub-oscillator. Carefully simulated analog drift and PSU influence. • Filter: 3 models available: Transistor ladder low pass, OTA cascade low pass and State Variable Filter with continuously variable LP-HP + BP mode. • 2 low frequency oscillators and envelope generators per voice. • Overdrive: diode clipper and transistor saturation, pre and post filter. • Up to 2 layers per voice. Layers can modulate each other. • Powerful modulation matrix offering self-modulation and cross-layer modulation, 8 modulation slots, 17 signal sources and 41 targets available, both from modulation modules and audio signal path. This takes Zeeon into semi-modular territory. Imagine oscillator waveform, panning, filter cutoff, resonance or LP-HP mode modulated by oscillators or another layer! • Effects unit: Circuit modelled BBD chorus, bass booster, zero-delay Phaser, Stereo delay and Reverb. • 144 presets and Tutorials bank. More presets and exciting features in upcoming updates.              Still not a lot of new Apps today, so I look around to find somethings to add to the What's hot today post... Also, I want to apology for the slow down, but I am not really ok... I will.... but in a few day, I hope...

     2 weeks ago, I made the review of RF-1. A Reverb, but not only… today, I am making the review of RP-1 a delay, but not only… The UI is separated in 2 sections. On the top the “First” delay with 6 rotary knobs. A High and Lowpass, a Feedback, a Time, a Mix and a Spread which allows you to control the effect stereo field. On the right side, a sync switch (RP -1 comes with the Ableton Link feature). When enable you will be able to control the delay Time with Clock subdivision instead of time. (Cool!) Below a Loop switch will set the Time at which the input signal is delayed and to finish a Bypass (for this section). The second section is The Mod Section. The first knob on the left side allows you to select one of 7 different algorithms: Chorus, Vibrato, Flanger, Panner, Phaser, Tremolo & Delay. As you can see, you have another delay here… A Panner too which is really great because of the lack of Auto Panner in the App Store… The 3 other knobs: Feedback, Amount and Frequency. On the Right side, a Pre and a Post switch. A Bypass for this section too. To conclude, RP-1 is a Multi Fx. 2 can be used at the same time. The quality of processing is great. Some effect like the Vibrato, the Tremolo and the Panner are not very widespread in the App Store, so… A Killer App, a Must Have!
Review by Ed   Same as yesterday.... And me I don't know what to say... So, have a nice day or night depending of where you are in the Galaxy! Cheers Ed            modstep is a Midi Sequencer. No,… modstep is The Midi Sequencer! Yes, it’s the best one from all the App Store… no doubt with this… and too bad for the suspense! There are so many reasons for this that it’s impossible for me to describe here all the great features included in it, But I will give you an overview of some of them that impressed me the most. The first one is not a feature, but the stability of the App. To make the tutorial, I worked everyday with modstep during more than 1 month… 2 weeks ago, I deleted my tutorial from my iPad, and I had to restart it from the beginning... (Note that because of this. I am known now as the modstep expert in all the Galaxies…). During all this time, no bugs! The second thing is the UI. Very easy to understand and the Drag & Drop feature is so cool! Some technic characteristics now... unlimited scenes! Variable speed per pattern! Unlimited MIDI & Audio Tracks! IAA compatible app or Audio Unit as an instrument or effect. -unlimited number of effects per track and Audiobus support. modstep comes also with a Sampler and a Synthesizer too. The Sampler comes with a huge library of drum kits / pitch, volume, reverse, fx per slot, 3 band-eq, delay and reverb. The built in Synthesizer with up to 64 harmonics per voice, 3-band eq, delay, reverb, lfo and detune. It comes also with 2 edit modes: a “Classic” Grid editor and a Step sequencer with a repeat notes feature.. An integrated keyboard with scales, a drum-pads. Up to 128 CC modulations per track! A sophisticated template system allows quick setup of tracks to control external MIDI hardware, apps or plugins.... More? Check out the tutorial below! In summary modstep is very powerful, very study, very well done and very easy to use. The Best MIDI Sequencer from the App Store! A Killer App. A Must Have!
Review by Ed    Today it's look like our galaxy has been deserted by humans, Apps & developers... And Apple too... Certainly because it's the end of the holidays for most of you... So, tomorrow a lot of Apps! I hope! As soon as I finish to post this, I will send the redeem codes to the winners... I also want to apology because I didn't answer to your kind messages, but I am still very tired and I try to use my awake time to make some reviews. Have a nice day or night depending of where you are in the Galaxy! Cheers Ed Kap!     |
