Turnado Turns Your iPad Into A Multi-Effects Processor

turnado-ipadSugar Bytes has released Turnado for iPad - the full Turnado software with 24 effects, plus 4 x/y pads and more.

Turnado is a multi-effect tool, designed for massive real-time audio manipulation. It combines dynamic effects with immediate control.

With its instantaneous, one-knob, multi-parameter modulation features, Turnado ‘will lay waste to the audio landscape’.

Turnado?s primary focus is on beat manipulation, so you will find lots of loopers, slicers and grain tools in the rack. Alongside these beat-mashing effects are an arsenal of distortions and filters as well as delays and reverbs.

Reel To Reel Tape Delay

This user demo, via darshonaut, looks at how to use a reel to reel tape machine as a tape delay with a modular synthesizer:

I wanted to turn my Reel to Reel Tape Machine (Revox A77 MK III) into a Tape Delay, but since I don’t use a traditional mixing desk with Aux In/Out , I had to come up with a patch for my Curetronic modular synthesizer.

SineVibes Intros Intertia Envelope Sequencer, Cluster Animated Filter

cluster-animated-filter

SineVibes has introduced a pair of new audio effects for Mac OS X:

  • Cluster animated filter lets you apply ’intricate spectral transformations, re-engineer drum and percussion loops and create colourful motion textures virtually out of anything’. Cluster smoothly cycles through a filter matrix with up to 32 steps, which includes low-pass, high-pass, band-pass and band-reject modes per each step. With the filter slope adjustable from soft -12 to extra-steep -48 dB/octave, the variety of different effects you can achieve is immense.
  • Intertia envelope sequencer lets you ‘dd rhythmic motion to any instrument.’ Inertia runs a sequence of up to 32 envelopes, each with one of 8 different shapes.

See the SineVibes site for details and audio demos.
