 MicroPitch: My favorite Eventide's Effect!!! You know, I never read a description of the App Store before I do a review. Never watch a video from another blogger too, because I'm always afraid of being influenced. In fact, if I talk about this here and now, it's because of a comment on one of the Facebook group posts.... Someone said he didn't need another chorus..... This surprised me a little bit because for me MicroPitch wasn't a chorus.... At least not one more chorus.... I started my first review with Blackhole. The Reverb which is certainly the best Reverb available at the moment on the App Store. Then Ultra Tap Delay yesterday.... Same... Great, Awesome ! And I saved MicroPitch for the end.... Maybe also because it seemed to me the least attractive of the three (Eventide's plugins.} The cheapest too. (Thanks again and again to Starr Ackerman without whom I would not have been able to review these 3 beautiful Apps. My best for your new job. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏) Well, actually, it's my favorite! Sincerely I love it.... I love Blackhole, Ultra Tap Delay, sure. I love the UI, the Ribbon. I love them but it's Eventide, so I expected to have something exceptional with an awesome processing audio quality... For MicroPitch, I didn't really know what to expect, except for the missing part in Blackhole and Ultra Tap Delay of the H3000... Watch the demo video, the tutorial too and most importantly. MicroPitch can be used on any instrument. Like a chorus, Delay, Pitch Shifter, Track Doubker... It is also a Sound FX generator.... On the top row:

Le Ribbon as usual...(AWESOME !) Ribbon: Allows the dynamic modification of several knobs at once. By programming left and right ranges for any knob, the Ribbonlets you morph between settings by tapping anywhere on the Ribbonand moving the electric arc back and forth. To program settings for the Ribbon, press the button on the left or right side of the Ribbon, and then move each knob to its desired Ribbonposition for that side. A blue arc will be drawn between the left and right Ribbonvalues for the knob, with a white dot representing the left value and a blue dot representing the right value. The Ribbon programming can be cleared by moving the dots to be on top of each other, while in programming mode. Additionally, the Ribbon is programmed to follow MIDI Continuous Control (CC) #1 messages (a.k.a. Modulation Wheel). This enables you to use the Modulation Wheel on a MIDI device to move many knobs at once. Also: Active: Turns the effect on or off. Active can be toggled via MIDI Continuous Control (CC) #2 messages. It will toggle when the CC goes from low (value < 64) to high (value >= 64). Presets The preset menu lets you select from Factory and Artist presets, as well as presets that you've created. Presets are shared between the Standalone and AudioUnit formats. Load a preset by tapping it. You can also delete User Presets by sliding the preset to the left, and clicking the 'x' that appears.

Knob Lab is modular knobs surface. A knob will send MIDI cc to anther App, hardware, Mac or PC. It can be connected as a virtual MIDI instrument, via Audiobus, Bluetooth, USB or WIFI. First you choose a layout: 1 knob, 2 knobs, 6 knobs or 12 knobs. Each of these layout knobs can hold 8 knobs: 1 knob layout = 8 knobs | 2 knobs layout = 16 knobs | 6 knobs layout = 48 knobs | 12 knobs layout = 96 knobs!!! Each of these knobs can be edited independently. MIDI cc sends, MIDI channel, minimum & maximum value sends, reverse mode or not (Check out the tutorial video), slide range, color, and broadcast (when using Wi-Fi). This is awesome!!! Really!!! Watched the 2 demos below. The possibilities are infinites: Control 16 tracks of your mixer with 2 fingers, 24 tracks with 3 fingers, with all your FX with 4 fingers, morph your synth preset with 12 fingers sending 96 cc!!! (Not that 12 fingers for humans is not so usual, but who knows in other Galaxies...) For live... A Must Have! Yes, this App is awesome and so easy to use.

It simulates the sound of early gramophones, radiograms, record players, through to late 80's turntables. You can either select an 'Age' or tweak individual settings to add warp, dust, scratches and good old fashion hiss to your recordings. The tube emulation mimics the old valve driven amplification which can be overdriven to add a nice warm tonal quality to your sound. It even allows you to add additional harmonics using the saturation knob to mimic the effect of tube amplification. It's a subtle but effective way of adding character and punch to thin sounds without changing pushing them in to the realms of distortion. When you turn on the Vinyl emulation you can choose to emulate the needle hitting the record, while the power button smoothly fades the effect in and out. Not a lot to add to this...

EGLM1 is an emulation of the Linn LM-1 The Linn LM-1 Drum Computeris a drum machinemanufactured by Linn Electronicsand released in 1980. It was the first drum machine to use samplesof acoustic drums, and one of the first programmabledrum machines. It became a staple of 1980s pop music, helping to establish drum machines as credible tools, and appears on records by artists including Human League, Gary Numan, Michael Jackson, and particularly Prince. The LM-1 was succeeded in 1982 by the LinnDrum. The LM-1, along with the Oberheim DMX, was one of the first drum machines to use samples(prerecorded sounds).[1] It features twelve 8-bit percussion samples, which can be individually tuned: kick, snare, hi-hat, cabasa, tambourine, two toms, two congas, cowbell, claves, and hand claps.[1] The machine also introduced features such as "timing correct" (quantization) and "shuffle" (swing) and the ability to chain patterns. so, EGLM1 is an emulation of this vintage Drum Machine from Elliott Garage. It belongs to a suite of vintage Drum Machine emulation including: Tr909, Tr808 & Tr606 16 patterns: all patterns play 2 bar by default. A feature allows you to set a different bar length. (From 1 step to 64 steps). You can copy & paste a pattern. EGLM1 comes with a sequencer: The step resolution can be settled to 16 or 32 steps. Note also that EGLM1 supports the MIDI in and can be controlled with another App. (Sequencer) 16 tracks. For each tracks 2 Pads. A Pad contains 2 samples. A Mix knob in the Mixer allows you to select one of them or mix them. At the end, we have 16 instruments x 2 Pads x 2 samples = 64 samples A live mode with a record function is also available as well as a mixer: Tune, Mix, Volume & Pan. A record function and a song Mode too. All Patterns and songs can be saved and share as well as your recordings. To conclude, EGLM1 is a perfect emulation of the Linn.

Tutorial
Preset
Presets save a snapshot of ALL settings in the app. A good way to get started is to browse through the presets and try them out. If you need to make changes to settings that affect all presets, you must open each preset one at a time, adjust the setting, and save the preset.
Sound and tone
Instrument
Sounds in iFretless come from samples recorded from various bass instruments. Use this list to choose a sample set.
Fretless Bass | Slap Bass | Jazz Bass | Upr|ght Bass | Hard Fmgerstyle | P|ck Bass | Muted Pick Bass | Electric Upright Bass | Wonder Bass | Saw Wave Synth | Chameleon Synth | Snarling Synth | FM Bass
Fretless Bass | Slap Bass | Jazz Bass | Upr|ght Bass | Hard Fmgerstyle | P|ck Bass | Muted Pick Bass | Electric Upright Bass | Wonder Bass | Saw Wave Synth | Chameleon Synth | Snarling Synth | FM Bass
Volume Range
Volume range controls the dynamic volume range the app produces in response to touch force or MIDI velocity. Set a narrow range for a compressed, even volume output. Widen the range out to get more dynamic expression.
Sample Velocity Range
Each sample set responds with a different type of tone depending on the force with which you press on the screen, or depending on the MIDI velocity, if using an external MIDI controller. For example, the fretted bass guitar sounds have more fret noise when you press harder. In some sample sets you will find the loudest samples are too harsh for some styles of playing. To limit the harshness, pull the upper limit down slightly. Alternatively, if you are playing a style that requires consistent strong volume, increase the lower limit to prevent softer sounds from causing inconsistency in the note attacks.
Vibrato
Vibrato is linked to the MIDI mod wheel parameter by default. But it also responds to velocity at the same time, so louder notes have wider vibrato. We recommend you set the vibrato to zero, because you can get a much more realistic vibrato by moving your finger on the screen, like fretless bass players do. But if have not learned to play vibrato with your hands, or if you control the app via a MIDI keyboard, you will want to use a moderate setting of this control to add more life to your sound.
Reference Pitch
Set this to tune with other instruments. The default is 440 Hz.
Reverb Size
Higher settings for reverb size make the simulated room sound larger: longer echo time, less clarity, etc. We recommend keeping the size set low to ensure a tight, responsive bass sound. However, if you are playing bass solos, especially with the fretless bass, a larger room sounds great.
Reverb Amount
Set the reverb amount independently of the room size. Typically we recommend using a high value when the room size is small, and less reverb when the room is large.
Equalizer
The equalizer is your most powerful tool for controlling the tone of this instrument. With it, you can get a wide range of different kinds of bass tone, even without changing the sample set. On typical headphones, most sounds have more bass than necessary. We usually recommend setting the bass volume down a few decibels from 100 hz to tighten up the bottom end.
On Screen Keyboard
Number of Frets
Set this to control the number of frets on the horizontal axis of the screen. Remember that all settings, including this one, are saved separately in each preset, so if you want to change the number of strings for all the presets, you will need to open each one, adjust this setting, and save the preset again.
Number of Strings
Set this to choose the number of strings to display on the screen.
Display Note Names
Enabling this prints the note names (A, B, C, D, E, F, G) above each string on the screen
Tuning System
This sets the interval between strings. Bass guitars are tuned in fourths, and most users will feel comfortable with that setting.
We personally feel that tuning in Major thirds works best for iPad and iPhone because scales and chords fit more comfortably on the scre
The Guitar tuning tunes the lowest four strings on the screen in fourths, the space between the fourth and fifth string is a Major third, and the remaining strings are in fourths. This does not always result in an EADGBE tuning, because the tuning depends on which string you have scrolled to the bottom of the screen. However it ensures that the chords and scales you play on the lowest six strings will correspond to the same shapes or patterns that they have on a six-string guitar.
Violin, Cello, and Viola players may prefer to set the tuning in Fifths

MIDI Output Teanspose
This transposes the key of the instrument. It affects the internal sound and also the notes that the app outputs when used as a MIDI controller for other apps and devices
MIDI Input Teanspose
This transposes the key of the instrument. It affects the internal sound and also the notes that the app intputs when used as a MIDI controller for other apps and devices
Touch Force Sensitivity
This app uses the accelerometer in your iPhone or iPad to measure the vibration when your fingers touch the screen. The best way to use this app is to hold your iPad in your left hand and play it with your right hand. Holding it in your hand allows it to vibrate more freely in response to touches on the screen. This results in a dynamic response with accurate and natural feel. If you place the iPhone or iPad on a hard surface such as a heavy table or desk, the vibration will be weaker so you will need to increase the touch force sensitivity in order to get the full dynamic range. If you must use the app with the iPad or iPhone on a table, place a soft pad or a small cushion underneath it in order to allow it to move more freely. The touch force sensitivity control has no effect when controlling the app via an external MIDI controller
MIDI
MPE mode 3 (1 channel per note)* In this mode, every note you play gets its own separate MIDI channel with separate controls for pitch bend volume, etc. Because each note is on a completely separate channel, this mode does not support legato transitions between notes such as hammer-ons and pull-offs.
MPE mode 4 (1 channel per string)* In this mode, each string has its own dedicated MIDI channel, and each channel is monophonic. In other words, each string can play only one note. If you press two fingers on the same string, only the last finger to touch the screen makes a sound. This is the best setting for emulating the playing style of stringed instruments because it accurately handles hammer-on and pull-off transitions by playing them legato, without re-triggering the attack portion of the new note. This mode can also be used to get legato transitions when controlling monophonic synths that do not officially support the MPE standard. To do this, set the synth on the receiving end to monophonic mode with the input channel set to All or OMNI.
*Note about using MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression): both of the MPE MIDI modes above reserve channel 1 as a control channel; they only send note start and note stop messages on channels 2-16. Because MPE MIDI requires the use of several MIDI channels simultaneously, the MIDI input and MIDI output channel selectors are disabled when an MPE MIDI mode is selected.
Single channel mono legato Use this mode when you want to get accurate emulation of guitar-like hammer-on and pull-off transitions without using multi-channel MIDI. When this mode is enabled, you will not be able to play chords or double-stops. Note that even in single channel mode, iFretless still supports multi-channel MIDI input as long as you select "Ch All" as the input channel.
Single channel polyphonic Use this mode when you need to play chords and double-stops using only a single MIDI channel. This mode does not support legato transitions. In this mode, the the pitch bend parameter is controlled by the average bend of all the notes you are holding down. You can use pitch bending with single notes, or you can bend an entire chord together at the the same time, but you will not be able to bend individual notes in a chord independently
MPE mode 4 (1 channel per string)* In this mode, each string has its own dedicated MIDI channel, and each channel is monophonic. In other words, each string can play only one note. If you press two fingers on the same string, only the last finger to touch the screen makes a sound. This is the best setting for emulating the playing style of stringed instruments because it accurately handles hammer-on and pull-off transitions by playing them legato, without re-triggering the attack portion of the new note.

Band Range in Semitones
Set the MIDI bend range here. This must match the bend range of the synth device or app you are controlling.
Set to 0 to have the app play as a fretted instrumen
Set to 0 to have the app play as a fretted instrumen
Key Range Lower Limit
The app will not send or receive MIDI notes below this note. This is useful for configuring keyboard splits, where different note ranges go to different synthesizers.
Key Range Upper Limit
The app will not send or receive MIDI notes above this note
Velocity Curve
The volume output of each synthesizer responds to MIDI velocity in a different way. If the way an external synthesizer is responding to MIDI coming from iFretless doesn't feel right, or if iFretless volume doesn't feel right in response to an external controller, please try adjusting this higher or lower
MIDI CC Assignment | ML (MIDI Learn) & Other Settings
Volume
This sets the MIDI CC number on which iFretless responds to volume control change requests. Default is CC 07.
Sustain Pedal
When you press the ML (MIDI lean) button, iFretless listens for CC messages and sets this control to respond to the CC number corresponding to whichever controls you adjust
Vibrato
The modulation wheel control on most keyboards sends messages on MIDI CC 01. To respond to vibrato width control from some other CC number, adjust this setting
Buffer Size
Selecting a shorter audio buffer size results in faster response time, at the expense of higher processer power usage

A easy to use Gate because
Perforator is a Stepper Gate. (Sequencer) automatically sync to your host App Tempo.
So you just have to set the number of steps you like from 2 to 32 and set the Gate (volume) for each of the steps you have selected.
You can set the 2 channels independently....
A randomize section is available via a pop up menu.
But Perforator comes also with a Filter / Amp section (12 dB / Oct Low pass filter)
You can use it also without to Gate your signal...

I'd have to start my review like this: "it's so annoying a Gate", if only Perforator had been a Gate more in the App Store ... but no, Perforator is anything but a Gate more and this is a bit normal since his dad is Bram Bos ...
Perforator is a creative tool. An awesome creative tool. Check out the video demo...
It's a Gate sure, if you like to use it like this...
It's a Rhythmic Arpeggiator too...
It's a Killer App! A Must Have !
You can use it as a Gate...
A easy to use Gate because
Perforator is a Stepper Gate. (Sequencer) automatically sync to your host App Tempo.
So you just have to set the number of steps you like from 2 to 32 and set the Gate (volume) for each of the steps you have selected.
You can set the 2 channels independently....
A randomize section is available via a pop up menu.
But Perforator comes also with a Filter / Amp section (12 dB / Oct Low pass filter)
You can use it also without to Gate your signal...
On the left side the Slice enveloppe: Attack | Decay | Slope | Shuffle
By tuning the slice envelopes you can create anything from classic staccato "trance gate" sounds to emulations of sloppy pumping

The App Store description
*** Note: Perforator is an AUv3 Audio Unit plugin; which requires an AUv3 compatible host app, such as Garageband, Cubasis, BM3 or AUM ***
Perforator is a rhythmic gating audio effect: it will creatively snip, cut, gap and filter incoming audio to create rhythmic patterns out of sustained sounds.
By tuning the slice envelopes you can create anything from classic staccato "trance gate" sounds to emulations of sloppy pumping
Two gating mechanisms can be dialled in: an AMP EG gate (the traditional way of gating) and a 12dB/Oct lowpass filter which will rapidly carve away high frequencies from your sound to effectively silence them.
- AUv3 Audio Effect, works in all AU compatible hosts
- automatically syncs with your project's tempo
- edit Left an Right channel independently
- built-in preset manager with a ton of factory presets
- all AU Parameters exposed for host automation
- user manual available on ruismaker.com
- Universal: works on iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch
- Bonus Feature: AU MIDI output*
* AU MIDI: both envelopes (L+R) can send their values out as MIDI CC messages to mimic 'parameter lock' messages in other plugins/apps. Note: this feature requires iOS11+ and a host compatible with AU MIDI from effects. Version 1.0.3 release notesAdded a switch for enabling/disabling AU MIDI Output for hosts where MIDI CC can conflict with other effects in the effect chain (e.g. Nanostudio 2).

- this blog is man by a human for humans
- I can make some mistakes (because I am a human)
- Nothing will deleted or removed from this blog. For my mistakes or angers, apologies and corrections will be added if needed.
- You can see everyday on a banner in the What's hot today post the Apps offered by a developer...
- If you participate to the Sunday Contest, you will have to trust in me... But, if you like you can asked me the email list of the readers who participate to a Contest included Time and Date. I will send it to you...
- 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!...
- All comments will be publish here. For insults, offenses or very bad mood, the only restriction is that you have to sign with your real name...
- I don't know... Peraphs that I will add something later.
