JAX Selective Range : Flanger (super universal release)

The JAX Selective Range (SR) series feature band limited frequency range audio processors of all sorts. Especially modulation effects will profit from a limited range processing, because the final sound would not be altered in its entirety, but selectively. These effects are also applicable for post processing and mastering purposes.

Update 2.02 for JAX ONE Frequency Shifter (released)

An update for our first JAX ONE release was submitted. We applied several significant changes.

Update version 2.02

  • we corrected the logarithmic scaling (default), because it was actually scaled linearly and equal to mode 3 (‘linear’).
    please note that the new scaling in default mode does drastically alter the modulation results.
  • a shift reset problem was corrected.
    some host apps call a reset when temporary bypassing the effect. this way the value was reset to zero.
  • we corrected a problem (popping) with signal discontinuity due to separated stereo delay processors for up- and down-shift.
    note: there still may be a minor click when crossing the zero position with the shift parameter, this lies in nature of things and we are looking for a possible solution. the Bode shifter therefore is uni-directional in some scaling modi, not consequently bi-directional like our frequency shifter is.
  • a minor change was made for the location for the factory presets
  • we extended the manual for using contrast and zoom controls with the 3D user interface

Note:
Many users obviously mismatch pitch shifting with frequency shifting. But this are completely different approaches, please read the documentation. Frequency shifters can produce great sonic results, especially with drums, basses and pad sounds, sounds that are not even possible with pitch shifting. we recomnmend to do some research and watching some of the many youtube videos about the classic Bode frequency shifter and its usage’.

Please note, that we have scheduled 2 new sophisticated JAX ONE items in (this) month June. The introduction and preorder prices will raise to the final shortly after release. The current public betas for testing will regularly time out after max. 90 days.

Next to our JAX ONE releases a complete series of JAX [Selective Range] is finally scheduled for successive release. Our concept for using an interactive touch based selective frequency range processing is quite unique and should not be ignored.

JAX Selective Range : Chorus (super universal release)

The JAX Selective Range (SR) series feature band limited frequency range audio processors of all sorts. While such approach can be achieved with complex and resource intensive bus routing, our effects are easy and intuitively usable out of the box.

Especially modulation effects will profit from a limited frequency range processing, because the final sound would not be altered in its entirety but applied only to the selected frequency range. These effects are also applicable to post processing and mastering purposes therefore.

Everything can be automated with assignable MIDI controllers. The selected frequency range is not static, it can be dynamically moved and automated.

‘Super Universal Release’ is our term for describing availability on all Apple Silicon platforms, macOS, visionOS, iOS (iPhone) and iPadOS.

Two more modulation effects for the SR [ Selective Range ] collection are released in month June 2024. This are JAX SR : Phaser and JAX SR : Flanger. The collection will be completed successively with more effects in the near future.

JAX Essential Series : Continuation

The JAX Essential Series will get completed with 4 additional essential audio units. After AppStore review these items will be available for download on our beta test page.

  • JAX De/Saturator : This very special effect has one bi-directional main parameter, which is able to de-saturate or saturate any waveform. It also has an impact to the loudness perception.
  • JAX Tube Flavour : Will add some gentle analog warmth to the audio stream with adjustable flavour.
  • JAX Comb Filter : The classic ultra short and tune-able delay effect with several different modi to choose.
  • JAX Ring Modulator : The classic cross modulation effect with integrated oscillators and different waveforms for selection.
  • JAX Static Phaser : A multi stage phaser, which does not continuously move with an LFO like usually but is freely adjustable and parameter-modulate-able.

JAX Essential Series have the following key features :

  • ultra efficient with low memory footprint, made for stacking up
  • fully scalable to any screen size, based on vector drawing
  • freely MIDI assignable parameters and control
  • all effects can be mixed to the audio with any amount
  • inbuilt preset management and factory sets
  • upwards compatible with older devices and iOS versions
  • available on all Apple Silicon platforms, iOS, iPadOS, macOS and visionOS with one release and price

3 AudioUnits [SR Series] are scheduled for release

The JAX [SR] Chorus, JAX [SR] Phaser and JAX [SR] Flanger modulation effects with selective frequency range are scheduled for release in the Apple AppStore. The items will be available for purchase across the rest of month June 2024.

There are TestFlight demos for all Apple Silicon platforms available, including the Mac (Apple Silicon).
