Blackhole is incredible! Blackhole it is Eventide.... The dream of every musician.... Mine when I was very young and I couldn't afford to buy the effect of my dreams... The H3000! With its suite of 3 plugins, Blackhole, Micropitch and UtraTap Delay, Eventide had to make high quality products. I mean a processing of an irreproachable quality.... And then, the objective is reached with flying colours. For the UI, it's perfect. Even better than perfect.... That's great.... Fully adapted to our iDevices.... I love the preset library always visible on the left side. As for the Ribbon.... Then there is everything else, but let's start with the usual parameters of a Reverb first. A Bypass, 1 linear fader for input and output signal. A Mix button, 1 shelving filter for the Low & High frequencies in the reverb tail. A reverb size from small to "Epic" Now always quite common parameters but which come here a little, see big more.
Now everything that is not usual to find in a reverb but that is great. 1 | the Modulation section with its Rate, Depth and Resonance parameters. Great! Great! And to finish the great of the great! 1 Gravity. The equivalent of decay time, from inverse to cavernous. 2 The Ribbon. Yes, there's a Ribbon down in Blackhole.... This Ribbon allows you to morph all the parameters you have previously selected and adjust from one position to another... That's totally awesome! In addition, two switches on each side of this Ribbon allow you to switch directly from the minimum or maximum position you have determined to its opposite. It's monstrous.... Monstrous especially since all the parameters can be automated or controlled via another App, an external keyboard or pedalboard... To finish something else more than awesome.... In the video I use 12 Apps. AUM, Fugue Machine, Toneboost EQ, Future Drummer, Pure Synth® Platinum, iFretless Bass, Ruismaker, Fac Maxima and 4 instances of Atom. Plus 8 Blackhole instances!!!!! Incredible!!!!! In conclusion.... Blackhole is totally versatile, incredibly creative, of impeccable quality at every level (I wonder why an update would be released, as it is so perfect and study) This is the Reverb to have... Blackhole is perfect! A Killer App! A Must Have! An essential App!

Main Controls
Performance controlsRibbon: Allows the dynamic modification of several knobs at once. By programming left and right ranges for any knob, the Ribbon lets you morph between settings by tapping anywhere on the Ribbon and 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 Ribbon position 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.
The App Store descriptionCreate out of this world ambiance with Blackhole, a reverb effect as big as the cosmos. Blackhole breaks the rules by allowing you to create virtual spaces that could never exist in reality. At large sizes, its soft attack and lingering, harmonic tails allow it to really shine on guitars, strings, vocals and pads. At small sizes those very same qualities can add an angelic sheen to vocals or turn a simple drum track into an otherworldly rhythm section.
Features: - Incredibly easy to use with over 80 presets; many created by Eventide artists. - Ability to create extremely musical effects useful for highlighting key instruments. - Supernatural settings for abstract spatial effects and drones. - Subtle settings for ambient washes and track highlighting. - Unique “Gravity” control reverses the arrow of time by inverting the reverb's decay. - Innovative Ribbon and Hotswitch allow for changing any combination of parameters simultaneously. - Fully flexible mono and stereo options. Bring new realms of stereo imaging to mono instruments. - Mixlock allows for scrolling through presets or settings while keeping the wet/dry mix constant. - Available as an Audio Units AUv3 plug-in, Inter-App Audio, and Standalone App.

I don't really know where I should start.... By the end.... An essential App, incredibly creative, a Must Have! a Killer App! Essential! There, it's said.... Now let's go back in time, almost 2 months before when I received this App. (In this review, I'm going to do something I never do... Talk about other Apps...) So two months ago, I received Velocity Keyboard. Shortly before I had received, KB-1 from Kai Aras... To tell you the truth, it confused my mind a little bit because I never read an App Store description, nor do I read or look at a review from another blogger... I know I repeat myself, but I must say this for those who have not read another of my reviews. If I do this, it is to remain objective and free of my creativity when I test an App... So I was saying that KB-1 had confused my mind... KB-1 is great, it's a great utility, no, an essential utility for us iOS Musicians, an essential App... And I, as, a fool, wanted to compare, thinking that Velocity Keyboard was also a utility... What a mistake!!!!!!!! Velocity Keyboard is an App made to play.... To give life.... Excuse me again, but I'm going to talk about another App... Thumbjam... This App is so watchful and always so great that I still use it when I want to play, or rather make it look like I recorded a real instrument... Well, with Velocity Keyboard, I can do that with any instrument of any App! It's Awesome! Look, the video.... Look also at the Tuto below.... It's really great.... In the video, I control the sensitivity note of SyntMaster Player... At the same time I control, the Retro Dist / Drive parameter of GeoShred.... Yes, from Geoshred, this great App with its keyboard... Well, believed it or not, it's even more awesome if you use Velocity Keyboard!!!!! To conclude... It took me a while to understand the usefulness of this App... It would take me thousands of years to get rid of it...... A Killer App! A Must Have! An essential App! Price $9.99 Author Mani Consulting Limited Company Type Controller Supports Audio Unit Version 1.2.6 Released 05/08/2019 Updated 07/11/2019 InterfaceLayoutPitchScaleVelocity SensingPitchMIDIThe App Store descriptionVelocity Keyboard is a powerful velocity-sensitive MPE compatible MIDI controller.
FEATURES - unique velocity sensing algorithm that tracks touch force like no other app - Four interface layouts: Keyboard, String, Scale, and Drum Pad - runs as an Audio Unit or as a standalone app - 8 simultaneous sources of MIDI CC parameter control: touch area, touch force (on devices that support 3D Touch), touch Y-coordinate, velocity to CC and up to four MIDI CC control knobs - smooth MIDI pitch bending between notes in both string and keyboard layouts - highlight custom scales in any key - dedicated MIDI modes for maximum flexibility when controlling non-MPE compatible synthesizers - pitch bend correction algorithm plays more in-tune with more freedom of expression when bending between notes (compared to similar MIDI controller apps) - can output velocity as a MIDI CC or aftertouch message to better support synths that aren't designed with velocity sensing in mind What does this app do differently from our iFretless apps? - It uses much less RAM because it doesn't load any audio samples - It has MIDI aftertouch controls, so changes in touch pressure and location that occur after after the start of a note can control MIDI CC parameters - It supports highlighting notes in custom scales - It has piano keyboard, scale, and drum pad layout options - It has updated velocity sensing and pitch correction algorithms - It has better visibility, making it feel more playable on smaller screens, or with a larger number of rows and columns Version 1.2.6 release notes- fix bug that cause y-coordinate can not be deactivated - add rating function to AU3, now user can rate the app in both AU3 and standalone version. SynthMaster is awesome... It's the perfect synthesizer for the non synthesizer players I mean for the ones who don't really know how to use a Synth, to shape a sound... Because of this, the banks available in App Purchases can be really interesting for the non synthesizer players, the musicians beginners and and people like me who like to work fast. So here is the EDM Stars Volume 1 bank. I made 2 videos: the first one with all the presets for each bank / categories available and the second one, an edit with all my favorites presets. I will post it's review very shortly...

It can import track from Apple Music, your Music Library & Files. And can also recognize Chords from any sources using the built in microphone of your iDevice. Actually it can recognize only basic chords: C. Cm, C#..... But the developer will add more sophisticated chords recognitions shortly. The recognition is perfect. The App really easy to use. Note that it comes also we à Chord library (piano & guitar) but for the basic chords only. So this part is actually for the real guitar or pianist beginners... But it's cool to have it... Because I am sure that the next update will be, I can already say that it's a Killer and a Must Have App ! A wish: Chord AI records it's recognition. so, it will be really great to be able to save it. Since my review an update has been released with the possibility to save our recording!!!! What's New in the v1.03 - You can now save your recordings (audio + recognized chords) in order to retrieve them at any time - You can also share your recordings as Chord Al files that you can open later on any device with the Chord Al app - Stability improvements Price Free / Offers in App Purchases $6.99 Author Nomad AI OU Type Chords recognition Version 1.0.2 The App Store descriptionChord AI uses recent advances in AI to give you the chords of any song automatically. You won't need anymore to look for the chords of a song on the web.
Chord AI works offline. You don't need to have an internet connection unless you want to play a song from YouTube or a streaming service. Chord AI currently recognizes all major and minor chords. Recognition of rare chords such as seventh, ninth, augmented, diminished chords etc. will be available in later updates. Please be patient :) Chord AI can find the chords of a song in two ways: 1) Through your device microphone. Any song playing around you, or played by your device, and the chords of the song are shown in real time. You can go back in time and replay the song together with the chord displayed on a timeline. 2) For audio files that you have on your device or iCloud, Chord AI will process the file in a few seconds to give you all the chords of the song at once
Regarding the In-App Purchase: You will be able to use Chord AI for free for a few minutes each day, which is probably enough for many users. After the limit is reached within a day you may be asked to buy the in-app purchase, which will give unlimited use. This is not a subscription, you just need to pay once for a lifetime.

I know that it can be sometimes dangerous, and sometimes it makes me start a whole video again, since I only read the App Store description when I finish publishing the review on the website, but it's the only way I know to be completely free of creativity when I discover an App... So when I first opened GuitarCapo+, I thought: Cool, a nice App to play guitar Chords and Arpeggios.... Top also as Guitar Chords dictionary.... Here it is, I closed it by saying to myself: a Super App for all guitarists, right-handed or left-handed, with the possibility of adding their own chords to the library. A Capo to easily transpose their Chord progression... Great... A Killer tool for learning and practicing guitar chords. The second time I started using MIDI.... And now, GuitarCapo+ has become really really great more than I thought at the beginning, whether you are a guitarist or not.... Watch the video.... Inside, I use the MIDI out to control Geoshred. I could also have used my 12 step Mc Millen to control it or even a Sequencer (see the screenshot: MIDI a little lower...). To conclude I love this App, but maybe not for the first reason it was designed. The 4 available arpeggios are the guitarist's classic arpeggios. So, if you want to add an arpeggio to one of your compositions, it's super simple, launch GuitarCapo+ and sequence a note that will make GuitarCapo+ play an arpeggio or chords. Send the GuitarCapo+ MIDI out to any other App with any other sound. (Piano, strings,...) if you like. Also, when you work on a composition, if you have a Pedalboard keyboard or if you split your Master keyboard, you will have an accompaniment track with a Bass root Key. A backing track super easily... A Killer App!!!

Duduk Vibrato.... My favorite instrument.... The instrument that reminds us that we are humans... There are not many Apps with a Duduk.... And even less with a satisfying sound.... So when I first pressed one of the keys of the keyboard, I was a little afraid of what I was going to hear... Wahoo.... That's exactly the sound of the Duduk I love... With this Vibrato.... The one that reminds you life on earth... The beginning of our civilization.... After that, I started listening to the other presets.... All these instruments that I love... The Ney, the Oud, the Tar,..... (Check out the App Store description at the end of this post) All of them sound perfect.... Add a little Reverb or Delay (Fx section) and you're done.... You can also set the attack and the release, even use the built in Filter... (Super filter...) 18 rhymic loops are also present with a Tempo control and its volume. You can choose a scale from the built in library (App Store description) or create and save your own. (Microtonal) An option allows you to highlight the keys on the keyboard from the selected scale (see the screenshot below) Finally, a MIDI learn function.... In conclusion.... If there was only the Duduk in this App, and nothing else,... Maybe just a keyboard to play it, I would have concluded my review with A Killer App! A Must Have!
