Description

Vintage iOS Stereo Shaper FX app! Originally released in 2014, Stereo Designer is a powerful stereo shaping effect, with independent control per channel.

Stereo Designer is an easy to use multi-purpose stereo shaping tool for Audiobus and Inter-app Audio. Create unique wide stereo image, "stereoize" a mono sound source, apply mid/side processing, independent high and low pass filters per channel, and more.

Process synths, drum machines and hundreds of other apps by connecting through Audiobus. Use Stereo Designer as an effect inside DAW apps such as Garageband, Auria, Cubasis, and AudioShare using Audiobus or Inter-app audio.

Stereo Designer supports Core MIDI via the Camera Connection kit, USB MIDI interfaces, Virtual MIDI and WiFi connections. The MIDI Learn function lets you easily assign your MIDI controller's knobs and sliders to control Stereo Designer's effect parameters.

Here's what users are saying:

" With Stereo Designer, Christopher has created one of the most impressive/creative stereo enhancement processors I’ve ever had the pleasure to use. If there was a VST/AU version for the desktop then I’d buy it in a heartbeat…."
- Music App Blog (www.musicappblog.com) 

"Add depth to your sounds -
This can help add a missing dimension to your music. Try running a synth or drum app through it. Use an audio interface to process guitars, hardware synths, or even a signal from your desktop DAW. It works really well with the developer’s other apps too. Great with Audiobus."
- dmonterroso (AppStore review)


Stereo Designer features two distinct modes:
PERFORM and TWEAK.

• PERFORM mode is focused around four XY touch pads. Touch to control LOW PASS, DELAY, PAN and OUTPUT gain independently for left and right channels.

• TWEAK mode features large expressive sliders and additional effect parameters, allowing you to fine tune your sound.

In addition to Audiobus and Inter-app Audio support, Stereo Designer can also process external instruments such as guitar, voice and synths by connecting a microphone or professional audio interface such as the Apogee Jam, ONE, or any iOS compatible USB audio interface. Guitarists can use our effects live by connecting the output of their audio interface to an amp.

Useful

Stumbled across this app and am very glad I did. Has brought new life to my field recordings with the ability to tweak the stereo field and more. The only drawback is that the app hasn’t been updated in sometime and occasionally come across a few stability bugs. Nothing that can’t be solved with a reboot of the app, but still, can be a little frustrating. It’s worth it and hope the developers keep giving it some attention, unlike other similar apps that simply disappear with a new iOS update.

Developer Response ,

Hi, you may consider updating to the latest version of Stereo Designer v1.3.6, released in late April 2024. This update fixes the stability problems that were occurring when running on newer versions of iOS. Also, what a great use case for Stereo Designer, manipulating field recordings!

Simple, Powerful - Great for Sound Shaping

First thing I'd like to say is that this guy makes really awesome apps! I have all three of his FX apps: Swoopster, Stereo Designer, and Echo Pad. They all provide unique sounds that make my music sound awesome.

This particular app Stereo Designer allows me to shape the sound of my BASS GUITAR and give it that extra scoop in the low end.

I like the light, simple, easy to use apps that have come out because they work so well with AudioBus. You can string together Apps just like you would with a bunch of FX pedals for a guitar.

Nice stereo FX

When on sale, you get a nice deal on a stereo shaper you can tweak with your fingers. This developer's apps are not on the level of fancy, expensive VSTs used on a desktop computer. I'm a little concerned about small apps that tweak 1-2 parameters. With the new audiobus you can string together a few in a chain, but I wonder if that is more stable than a single app with in app purchases for every new mini app they make. I think the layout and concept of Turnado is more ideal if you want to spend a few more bucks
