Blamsoft continues to crank out original effects apps for Audio Unit Extensions (AUX) on iOS 9! Now in addition to their Chorus and Reverb apps, here's a seriously beefy filter! It has a ton of interesting modes, including a Moog-style Ladder Filter. As with the other apps, this one comes in at a very low price of just $3!

F-16 Filter iTunes Description:

F-16 Filter is a flexible multi-mode filter with frequency response display. It features sixteen modes, frequency and resonance controls, saturation for analog-style soft clipping, and wet/dry mix. The 4 pole lowpass mode provides the frequency response of classic the Moog ladder filter. The other modes provide all of the choices available in the famous Oberheim Matrix 12 and Xpander synthesizers. At the heart of F-16 is a Zero Delay Feedback algorithm, the latest in DSP filtering technology. F-16 Filter gives you a wide variety of filtering options with pristine fidelity.

F-16 Filter is an Audio Unit Extension that works inside host apps. Just open up your favorite host that supports Audio Units and add it as an effect. Blamsoft brings their experience creating top notch plug-ins for the desktop to iOS. The same filter modes are found in the popular Rack Extension for Propellerhead Reason. You get a desktop quality plug-in at an iOS friendly price.

In addition to controlling the filter through the knobs and sliders, you can use the frequency response display to control cutoff frequency and resonance simultaneously.

The sixteen filter modes available are:

• 1, 2, 3, and 4 Pole Lowpass
• 1, 2, 3, and 4, Pole Highpass
• 2 and 4 Pole Bandpass
• 2 Pole Notch

Coding Cod's MIDI-to-Link and Link-to-MIDI sync app has been updated with improvements going in both directions!

What's new in MIDI Link Sync v1.0.14

MIDI » Ableton Link

Responsiveness to incoming tempo changes has been vastly improved. This means that variations in the incoming MIDI tempo will be picked up much faster and the Link timeline will come into sync much faster, too.

Ableton Link » MIDI

The moment you press Start MIDI Clock, it will start sending out MIDI clock ticks. Then it will send out MIDI start when the timeline wraps around. This allows apps such as Samplr to get a head's up as to what the tempo will be when the timeline actually starts. We've noticed that this helps some apps to respond better.
