LiveFx For iPad



Tired of waiting for Korg to release a Kaoss Pad for your iDevice? Well, the wait may finally be over.

While not actually from Korg, elephantcandy's LiveFX for iPad is a pretty terrific dynamic effects processor and works much like a real Kaoss Pad. You can can control up to 4 effects at once with one finger, or use multi-touch for some pretty trippy sounds. Also you can process any sound source you can get into the iPad: tracks from iTunes, a mixing board, instruments, vocals, etc. And as it has full AudioBus support you can go to town with your other music apps (as long as they also have AudioBus support.) The thought of feeding Samplr into this thing makes me grin like a loon.

Here's the highlights:

  • Hook up any source or even use an other app with Audiobus
  • Control multiple effects in realtime using the intuitive LiveFX touchpad

  • Create your own LiveFX combinations and use up to four effects at once
  • Use multi touch to create a auto dynamic effect
  • Use one of the many preset-banks or save your own
  • With Audiobus access those presets from within an other app
  • Make your own effect combination from the countless possibilities

  • Lock button holds the effect settings, for dazzling hands-free use

  • Versatile and highly playable effects control, delivering unimaginable expression
  • New Looper effects – Forward, Reverse and Slice – add new audio intensity

  • Mix it up with new DJ emulation Vinyl Break and Ducking Compressor effects
  • Auto BPM detection and Tap Tempo keeps your LiveFX locked to the beat
