Descripción

Analog modeled filters under your fingertips.

The JAF Collection is an exciting set of digital modeled classic analog synthesizer filters (VCFs) for iOS. The emphasis of this collection of audio effects is professional analog sounding and optimized behavior with touchscreen usage.

The collection is exclusively available on Apple devices. The apps and the included Audio Units are “universal”, so they work on iPhones and iPads the same way and also have basically the same appearance and functionality.

Note: These apps are so-called “Audio Units” (aka plugins), which usually require hosting audio applications to operate. Although, they come with their own basic host applications, which include for instance Core MIDI connectivity and microphone input, to use the filters out of the box, like external hardware devices, without requiring another host application.

The JAF Collection Filters can also act as a synthesizer module due to the fact, that there is an unison oscillator section (VCOs) built in for testing and for live performances. The analog modeled synthesizer has no advanced controls or modulators. It just runs the oscillators continuously and can be controlled by external MIDI messages to snap to MIDI pitches or being automated with the volume controller. The complete MIDI assignment is documented in the MIDI Implementation Chart for the JAF Collection, which is embedded into the main app.

Desert Island Filter App

Underrated dev. I used the free JAF Model One AU so much I felt I owed it to the creator to buy the full version. No regrets! Amazing collection of filters, so many great modelled filters in here, grits everything up nicely & makes everything feel alive. Reminds me a lot of the brilliant Sherman Filterbank I used to have. If you write hard music like Industrial, Grime, etc, you want this.

Only thing I’d love to see in the future is some sort of note off or gate for the Oscillator section. Kind of irks me hearing it everytime I load a project using it. When it’s on, it’s just always ON.

Excellent DSP in these filters

A great range of filters with excellent functionality. They really standout from other filter apps in my experience and are a great value. The updates have improved the functionality of the app in a wide variety of hosts so it’s good to see them supporting their app so well.

The latest update significantly improved the visibility of the GUI so you can see it even if your vision is less than perfect.

Thank you very much for the review!

We see the contrast problem, so the next version update (1.4) will focus specifically on this problem with a drastic improvement by more consequently adjusting the main color, when using the contrast slider. This was not solved optimal yet. We will realize this with automatic background-foreground color inverting, which works quite good as some internal tests have shown yet.

Regarding the small labels, we suggest to zoom into the view temporarily, as we extra for such reasons (readability) implemented the advanced pinch2zoom feature into all our audio units. Once the labels and control positions are known, this should not be a problem any longer. Aesthetically it would be a problem just making all these labels bigger permanently. We tried that already and were extremely unhappy with the result.

An interesting set of quality filters with an interface I like

I like the controls, quality, and variety. You have a lot of control over sound without having to dig too much into the interface, so you can start tweaking easily and quickly. Great response from developer who got AU3 integration issues resolved quickly.

Hello.

The maintenance update 1.3 is ready and will fix the AUM parameter exposing issue and other things. The update will be shipped tonight and should be available for download soon. The App Store review process always needs some time (at least 24 hours). We are sorry for this.
