VBLASTBEATS
FM Groovebox & AUv3 Instrument
$8.99
iPad
VBLASTBEATS brings the Twisted Electrons BlastBeats FM groovebox to iPad, as a standalone instrument and an AUv3 plug-in.
Build beats with six drum voices and four four-operator synth channels. Shape sounds with the familiar fader panel, record parameter movements, and push patterns into new territory with Wiggle modulation and performance tricks.
This is a close recreation of the hardware, using much of its original user-interface code. The button combinations are part of the instrument: hold one control while touching another, just as you would on BlastBeats. Multi-touch and swipe gestures keep that hands-on workflow intact, while the added grid editor gives you a direct view of your pattern.
FEATURES
- FM drums and four synth channels with detailed OPL3 emulation.
- Hardware-style step sequencing, pattern and kit management, and song mode.
- Interactive grid editor: tap or drag to paint steps, edit synth notes, and hold a step to set pattern length.
- Wiggle modulation, recorded automation and performance controls.
- Mixer with level meters, mute, solo, pan and warm drive.
- AUv3 with a main mix and separate instrument outputs in compatible hosts.
- Sync to host and Ableton Link support.
- Instrument-aware pattern randomization and gentle kit variations.
- WAV recording: record immediately or arm recording to start with the sequencer, then share your take.
- Autosave or manual saving, plus recall of unsaved edits in host sessions.
- Import and export hardware-compatible BlastBeats libraries as ZIP archives.
- High-contrast display option and an illustrated manual accessible from the menu.
No BlastBeats hardware is required. Use VBLASTBEATS on its own, or load its AUv3 instrument in a compatible host such as AUM or GarageBand.
HAVE A BLAST
Fixed an Ableton Link issue that could leave the sequencer unable to stop after another Link app disconnected. VBLASTBEATS keeps the current tempo, and RUN remains available for local start and stop.
