App 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.
