Description

Classic FX is a complete sound effects processor and a mono-to-stereo enhancer with equalizer, effects and reverb, based on specially designed high-quality processing algorithms and suitable for any kind of audio sources. This application will add brightness and expand the sound space of any musical instruments, synthesizers, drums or voice. Unique and diverse effects with unified control parameters provide convenience and ease of customization, while at the same time plenty of room for individual expression and experimentation.

Another unique feature of Classic FX is the Morphing option, based on complex effects matrix transformations, which allows you to control the dynamic transition between any two presets. While this can produce stunning effects, it's a breeze to control - you just need to move a fader or push a button. For more morph experimentation, this app has three LFOs to create more complex waveforms for changing morphs. Each LFO has different ranges, waveforms and can sync to the external BPM.

Some of the other features of Classic FX:

- Classic FX has 22 unique processing algorithms and 40 different presets.
- Two slots in which you can use different effects and smoothly morph between them.
- Three band equalizer with high / low shelving filters and middle peaking filter.
- Easy to use algorithmic reverb, suitable for any sound source.
- Limiter on output prevents any possible clipping.
- Envelope follower for dynamic control of each effect.
- Sequencer for rhythmic control of each effect.
- Three special LFO in series to automate morphing.
- Hot buttons to change the active effect slot.
- Changing a group of parameters at the same time.
- Echo module, Sequencer, and Auto morphing synced with the main BPM source.
- The effect algorithm and its parameters can be saved as a preset.
- Detailed application description and description of algorithms.
- Quick info and description of each algorithm used in presets.

Classic FX is a universal application for iOS and macOS. It can work on iPhone and iPad as well as Mac / MacBook with M1 chip (and later). Classic FX works on iPhone and iPad standalone, as an Audio Unit or Inter-App Audio module, and supports Audiobus and Ableton Link. On MacOS, Classic FX can works both as a standalone application and as an Audio unit (AUv3) with DAWs and audio unit hosts like Ableton Live, Logic Pro, GarageBand, MainStage, Cockos Reaper, Plogue Bidule, Hosting AU, and other hosts that support AUv3 plugins. All application features are available on iOS and macOS.

More magic from the mad scientist!

I’m a fan of all this developer’s apps. I’ve only had this one a day, but have already figured out most of the functionality. His apps tend toward the esoteric sophistication side, which means it can take a few days to get the full gist of the app. His SynthScaper app is a sound design masterpiece, but it take awhile to grasp the power it has.

This Classic FX app is somewhat more accessible and easier to pick up. I love that you can go easily from classic plugin sounds, to new hybrids, and all the way out into deep space.

Another one knocked way out of the park!

Can’t See $h!t

Sounds like is has potential to sound great.. unfortunately the fonts are so small that you can’t even read them with a magnifying glass. I tried. Everything you do to edit a setting or change a preset is a complete crap shoot since all you’re left with is a blind guess to whatever you’re doing because you’re not gonna see it at all.. So Now its just another AUv3 plug-in that won’t get used due to this oversight.

And get this.. the manual has a scale resize of fonts but they forgot to add that feature to the app. 😂Wonder what happened there? 🤷‍♂️ Sometimes the best designs are the simplest. This one looks fancy and can more than likely deliver but with this fatal visual flaw it’s a coin toss. Hopefully this gets re envisioned as it isn’t cheap by any means just to sit there in storage space.

An absolute winner! 10 out of 10

Fell in love with this app immediately! The reviews told a completely story. So glad that I trusted my own instinct and bought it anyway! I don’t think people have understood the point of this app, or realized its potential. Serious Sound Designers, I can’t recommend it enough! Unlimited sonic possibilities with drones, synths and percussions. Can’t be compared with any other effect processing app or plug-in. Excellent job, guys! You’re my favorite developers!
