Audio Apps and AudioUnits (AUv3) for Apple platforms (iOS, iPadOS, macOS and visionOS)
We released JAX 3Verb today. More information is here.
We also provided an update/upgrade to our latest release. But obviously the Apple Servers have an erectile dysfunction. It was just impossible to proceed in time.
We uploaded JAX 3Verb to the AppStore for review. The AudioUnit (AUv3) will be available the soon the app gets approved.
NOTE: It is HIGHLY recommended to read the embedded manual for the JAX 3Verb, just for understanding the concept!
The manual is available for download here :
We also recommend to try before buy. There is a public TestFlight beta available.
From prototyping to release…
It’s obviously completely without any importance and/or interest what we are publishing.
The above picture is the 3D prototype, made with a 3D Modelling program. The below picture is the model loaded into the app with Apples frameworks. We think, the result is nice and can be shown.
Our new user interfaces for the JAX ONE series are all based on real 3D environments and will render all graphics in realtime. Rather than using stitched still images captured from parallel camera projection, the 3D views allow any projection and movement of lights and so on, although this may be limited for useful perspectives finally.
Because users of audio units are probably not able to navigate a 3D space with their sausage fingers precisely in conjunction with making music. Users always complained about our user interfaces, rather wanting Excel spreadsheets as user interfaces. ^^
However, we have a completely different philosophy and we always love trying out and experimenting with new solutions.
The first (closed) beta version integrates the Shifter module and the Delay module. The video demonstrates the possibilities alone with these two modules active. The entire signal flow is stereophonic!, note that the original Bode frequency shifter is basically just a mono effect, which can output 2 signals (for downshift and upshift). For the (possibly) public beta we will now integrate and connect the LFO and the Envelope Follower modules.
JAX ONE – Frequency Shifter Extended public beta (Apple TestFlight)
JAX ONE – Frequency Shifter Extended will be available as pre-order with an introduction price of 17,99 (regular price 24,99) and is available on all Apple Silicon platforms (iOS, iPadOS, macOS, visionOS).
The manual is available here :
We built a new item for our Essential Series collection. The JAX Frequency Shifter, which is a stereo effect modelled after the famous Bode Frequency shifter ( was an analog mono effect for modular environments ).
A first frequency shifter for iOS is available since years with the release of our JAF Collection. This one here is real stereo and has the ability to separate lower and upper frequency parts with the ‘balance’ slider.
We will release more Essential Series effects soon. Including one of our best algorithmic reverberators.
We released 3 new public beta versions for our Selective Range Series:
The apps need to be approved by the Apple review teams. We will link the downloads (Apple TestFlight) as soon as available on our Beta Tests page.
Note: JAX Essential Series and JAX Selective Range Series use completely different models for the modiulation effects ‘Chorus’, ‘Flanger’ and ‘Phaser’.
We updated all 3 currently available items in our Essential Series :
update version 1.8 (3080)
The items are shipped to the AppStore for review and will be scheduled for release after approval.
Note: JAX Essential Series and JAX Selective Range Series use completely different models for the modiulation effects ‘Chorus’, ‘Flanger’ and ‘Phaser’.
We updated JAX [SR] Reductor to version 3.3 with following changes:
update 3.3
If you find the concept of our Selective Frequency Range Series [SR] useful, please write us some words and your ideas and wishes for future releases.
We transmitted 2 new TestFlight betas:
Both are release candidates and scheduled for release soon. These are super universal releases, available on iOS, iPadOS, macOS and the Apple Vision Pro.
There will be intro prices (9.99$) possibly with pre-orders for both items and early adopters. Final price probably will be 17,99$ and becomes active after preorder period.
We also renewed the latest public beta versions for our release candidates.
Manuals are available for JAX Dynamics Flow JAX 3Verb.
The second item in our upcoming Berlin Series of synthesizers is JAX Tempelhof.
This is a Multi Channel Drum Computer with 16 freely assignable pads and a key triggered performance sequencer (polymetric/polyrhythmic) with swing parameter. There is an independent sequencer for each key/pad.
It comes with 78 (ROM) drum sets, each with 24++ sampled drum (and also melody) sounds. The drum sounds for each pad/key can be assigned individually from the available drum kits. each pad/key is plying on its own internal sound channel (16 sound channels in sum). But the drum computer responds to MIDI channel 10, which is mainly for traditional reasons.
JAX MOABIT is the first synthesizer item in our BERLIN SERIES and it is a bass synthesizer with certain recognizable DNA. But rather than just cloning a 303 legend, we decided to extend the features significantly.
We will also transit our entire UI (user interface) frameworks to real 3D, meaning we will use Apples spatial environment views and programming APIs for the BERLIN SERIES releases. This ensures best performance and user interactivity, even prepared to be used in augmented spaces on the Apple Vision Pro natively later.
