The App Store description starts with these words:
- Multiband effect processor
- DJ style bands isolator with crossover control

Oh Lal la la la....
I am the worst DJ on earth....
So, what do I do?
I'm not reviewing this App?

At the same time, I also tell myself that I am certainly the worst technical guitarist I know after 35 years of playing guitar every day...
That to make an illusion (to me), I always need to add lots of effects on my guitar, and that when I read the first sentence:
"Multiband effect processor" there is something that tells me that this App may be the app of my dreams...
Yes, when we use a lot of effects like me, the sound can quickly become "messy" so, if with FAC Bandit I can limit an effect to a band (Low, Mid and High) it would be really great!
The dream would be that I could add a delay for example on my high strings (E and B), a Reverb on the mediums (G, D & A) and anothe effect (on the bass (E)...

Wait, I'll be back....

Wahooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!
It works! It works!
That's great! That's great!
Watch the demo video below!
That's so cool!
The possibilities are endless!!!!!

FAC Bandit is a multiband audio effect that splits the audio signal into three bands of frequencies defined by adjustable crossover points. Each band is processed independently by its own effect processor and the outputs are then recombined to produce the final effect. Each frequency range is altered with different effects and settings that won't sound the same if applied on the full frequency range. As you have probably realized, FAC Bandit is a wonderful and powerful sound design tool for designers who want to sculpt new personal, exciting and outstanding sounds. Either in a subtle way, without compromising the original tone, or in a more drastic way.
Following the diagram below, the input sound is split into three bands (Low, Mid, High) which are then recombined to the output.

The three band sections provide: an output gain control, a mute/solo toggle and a dynamic fx slot. The crossover, for its part, is available in the second band section. Both the gain and mute/solo parameters can be used as band killer, like in DJ console.
  • Gain- sets the level of the band after the effect, this helps to maintain tonal balance when the output is recombined
  • Mute/Solo- classic mute/solo channel facilities to easily spot the changes implied by the effect on the concerned frequency range
Fx- effect section. On the top there is a menu to select the effect, followed by three controls and a mix control to blend the dry signal with the wet signal. It's also possible to change the algorithms (or the model) to quickly experiment different result with the same parameters configuration. The architecture is extensible and more will come in the future

Saturation: Tube-like distortion
Parameters
  • • Drive - amount of saturation applied on the pre amplified signal
  • • PreGain- pre amplification of the drive section
  • • Pre/Post Filter - cutoff of the filter according the mode
Models
  • • Soft- soft clip before the drive, then post LPF
  • • Hard- hard clip before the drive, then post LPF
  • • BPF- pre BPF, then soft clip before the drive
  • • BELL- pre BELL, then soft clip before the driv
​
LOFI: Low resolution character of retro vintage samplers
Parameters
  • • Rate- down sampling rate. 1: none, 40: resampling SR of 1102hz
  • • Bits depth - resolution of each individual sample involved in the resampling process
  • • Filter- post LPF. Useful to reduce the artifacts generated by the deciminatic
Models
  • • Classic- classic quantization
  • • Dither- classic quantization with dithering noise applied
  • • Rizer - advanced quantization, great down to 1 bit depth!
  • • Jitter - classic quantization with fixed down sampling jitte
​
Ring Modulator: Add inharmonic content to your input signal and get great percussion, metallic or bells sounds
Parameters
  • • Note - sets the rate (midi note number) of the modulator. Use it as the root scale, great on jamming and getting tuned percussion
  • • Waveshape- shape of the modulator waveform: SIN/SQUARE
  • • Tone - LPF affecting the modulated signal, useful to reduce the artifacts generated by the proces
Models
  • • RM 01 - single ring modulator
  • • RM 02 - dual ring modulator
​
Delay: Tempo based delay, provides depth and ambience
Parameters
  • • Feedback- the amount of altered signal returned into the input
  • • Division - the delay time as beat division
  • • Color - the width of the band pass filter. Computed according the band boundarie
Models:
  • • Ping Pong LR - Echoes bouncing from left to right channel
  • • Inv Ping Pong - Echoes bouncing from right to left channel
  • ​- Stereo Echo - Classic echo. Keeps the stereo image untouched

Reverb: Recreate the sonic ambience of rooms and spaces
Parameters
  • • Size - the dimension of the room or space
  • • Pre Delay - the time (as beat division) between dry and wet signal
  • • Damp- set the damping of the high frequencie
Models:
  • • Small- Add a sense of small space, less noticable
  • • Room- Natural room with fast decay
  • • Hall - Wider than the Room model with a longer decay
  • • Big - Large space with medium diffusion and long decay
  • • Abyss- Wider than the Big model with more diffusion

​In conclusion:
This App is certainly great for DJs....
I hope that with my video they will be able to see the capabilities and usefulness that FAC Bandit can bring to them...
It is, and I am sure it is great for all sound engineers, sound designers, producers,...
And for people like me, she's the dream!
I'm going to be addicted again....
But I'm lucky, right next to my house, there's a hospital that cures all addictions in 10 days...

    Because I can read everywhere a Policy...

    1. this blog is man by a human for humans
    2. I can make some mistakes (because I am a human)
    3. Nothing will deleted or removed from this blog. For my mistakes or angers, apologies and corrections will be added if needed.
    4. You can see everyday on a banner in the What's hot today post the Apps offered by a developer...
    5. 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...
    6. 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.
    7. 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!...
    8. 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...
    9. I don't know... Peraphs that I will add something later.
