EFX is a 4 channels multi-effect processor, that's easy and intuitive to play, but offers complex options to shape the sound and to route the audio effects stream. Connect EFX to any input source, like the devices built in microphone, an external keyboard or guitar (iPad soundcard needed) or to your favorite iOS drum machine or synthesizer via Inter-App Audio or Audiobus. Or import a soundfile into the app and alienate it with with up to 4 different effects at the same time! -------------------------------------------------------------- FEATURES: - Multi-effect app created by the developers of Elastic Drums - 4 effect units with different routing options - Choose one of 40 available stereo effects in each effect unit - Broad range of different effects of the following categories: Modulation, Pitch, Distortion, Filter, Delay, Reverb, Others - Additional master effect section with level meters, 3 band equalizer, compressor, stutter fx - XY-Pad to easily control the most important effect values (Kaoss Pad style) - Possibility to automate/record the XY-Pad tweaks (1,2,4,8,16 bars length) - Automated tweaks and some effects (PingPong Delay) get played in sync via Ableton Link/Inter-App Audio - Audiobus 3 support - Audiobus state save - Audiobus remote control - Inter-App Audio support - Simple audio player to test the effects with audiofiles - Tweak the most important parameters via Midi, Midi learn option - Switch user-presets with Midi Program Change messages - Save, load and share user presets FUTURE PLANS: - More effects
Amazing app…nearly useless without AU support
This app is incredibly fun and would be essential if only it could be used as an audio unit…without that it’s just a toy. I wish I knew it couldn’t be used as an AU before I paid for it
This needs to be turned into a MIDI-controllable Audio Unit
...otherwise I cannot see the point of this app.
Love it
Being able to automate the effects on the xy pad is so great. I can’t think of any other effects processor that can record your gestures so easily. Would love to see some more filter types and granular effects in the future.
LOVE the app but dying for updates
This has become my go-to iOS FX app but would love it even more if it were more frequently updated. New effects options and/or updates to existing effects would be greatly appreciated, or even options to purchase more effects or effect packs. Also frequently have to reload this app in Audiobus upon initial loading of a Au patch. Otherwise amazing work!
No Auv3 support.
Still no auv3 support. This app, while good, becomes less and less useful every update.
Quite good. GUI so-so
This is a pretty versatile app; I use it in AUM after a drum machine. It would be great if the four FX slots had the name of the active effect on the slider instead of FX1, FX2, etc...those labels are uninformative and this means you have to remember what’s in each slot before you switch it on. Also, the saved bank selector is very hard to find...it’s just the word “init,” because the app never remembers the last thing you had open. There should be a straight-up button that reads SCENES or USER BANKS or whatever.
Great On It’s Own
Just got this on sale and ran into issues with audio hosting. On it’s own it is fun. Really fun. But when it is time for serious work especially in a live performance, not a choice effect when you want to get up and going. I had a loop on a synth going on in the input section and the EFX in the effects slot of AUM (and did this also with AB3). The only time I could hear a signal is when I was on the EFX app. Once I switched over to the host the volume would just go down. Once I switched to the Synth the volume would fade out. On AUM I tried both post and pre settings (thinking this needed some special set up. Anyhow, no dice. Obviously this app has worked well for a lot of users. However I think other users have more time and patience than just bringing in a effects app into the host and expecting it to work with out other settings needed. Thats not how I perform. Effects for me just have to be “On It” when I perform live. EFX is just not one of those effects. Research before buying, how others set it up. It’s a great idea but needs more fixing to useable in a live situation.
