Fiddlicator development has ended. The app remains available. I’m sad to say goodbye, but deeply grateful to everyone who supported and used it. Thank you! The Fiddlicator is an audio tool which can simulate various kinds of acoustic environment by the convolution of the input signal with a custom impulse response. It was developed to simulate an acoustic body resonance for electric musical instruments (mainly the electric violin), but it can also be used for a cab simulation with proper impulse response files (not included). The impulse response files can be imported via iTunes share or via 'Open in' option from another application. The Fiddlicator is not appropriate to use as convolution reverb engine, because it can not process impulse response files longer than ~0.35 sec. (1.4 sec. with Fiddlicator Plus & MIDI extension) See demo videos at: http://fiddlicator.wordpress.com/news/ Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Fiddlicator Main features: - main filter is based on convolution - own custom IR kernel files could be imported - 6-band parametric equaliser (low-shelf, 4xpeak, high-shelf) - delay & reverb - high-pass and low-pass filter on input - low latency - IR files could be imported from standard sound files (wav...) or csv file (via 'Open in...' or iTunes share) - mono input/output 44.1kHz (allows channel selection) - Audiobus and IAA support - background audio mode

Absolutely amazing for solid body 5 string violin.

I really loved the feel of my solid body electric violin with a BTS bridge transducer. However I soon realized that I was never going to get a rich violin tone without a sound box. I tried tons of stuff on and off for 25 years. Short delay, reverb, eq, tube pre amps, acoustic resonator effects... I am using an Apogee Jam lightening port adapter. I started this app and chose a violin impulse file and as soon as I even tapped the end of my patch cable, I could hear the the violin body acoustics, like when you tap the body of an acoustic violin. It sounds amazing with just the convolution without even messing with the other features. AUE played nice with Garage Band. No updates for a while. I hope the dev is still maintaining this. Some Cello impulses would be great too.

Once you get the hang of it, this app provides great features like an impulse response convolution engine, parametric EQ, reverb, and delay. You can set each of the 6 presets with it’s own Impulse response, and settings for all the other parameters. The trick is to set things the way you want, and then long-hold on the preset name. You can then change the preset name and hit SAVE. If you don’t hit save, then all the settings will be lost when you close the app or go to another preset.I use the app with an iRig HD and it works great using the amp output or headphone output for silent practice.I bought the upgrade so I can use much longer impulse responses. With that, this app does a much better job than a Mooer Radar IR pedal that cost me much more money.

Amazingly versatile, yet doesn't break the bank

For years, I have only used Fiddlicator as a mere convolution engine and to give sawtooth waves a sort of "acoustic" character, despite being synthetic. Now that I own an electric violin - the first violin I've played in over 17 years - I can fully appreciate what Fiddlicator has to offer. It gives my e-violin the acoustic qualities of a traditional violin I need, without shelling out hundreds or thousands of dollars for the real deal. If I could give this app more than five stars, my rating would literally be over 9,000. Fiddlicator is easily one of the best apps I've downloaded for not only my iPhone, but also my iPad.

Very good but we need AUV3 support

I love this app but only one instance isn’t enough. I’m asking Please to the developer add AUV3 compatibility, Audiobus and inter app audio are the past AUV3 is the future. I will gladly pay extra for an AUV3 as an in app purchase just to have multiple instances of this effect. The EQ inside this effect is amazing and works like a charm and a convolution reverb with this level of tweak abilities is perfect for iOS.

Fixes: - the IAP has been completely removed and also problems with the IAP leftovers are fixed - MIDI controls should work as expected - audio glitches were fixed (back-ported fix from Fiddlicator2 Core) - added latest version of Audiobus library New features: - it is now possible to delete unwanted IR directly from the file list by swipe to left on the IR file name
