Crystalline update!
Don't sleep on this update, everyone - the time-synced delays are a very awesome addition, and there are some other great features too. Thanks, Holderness! Works great on iPad 4, iOS 7.1.2

When I read that Crystalline has introduced ducking delay, I thought it was an angry typo, in my defence I have never been exposed to that that particular piece of lingo, but with a little help from google I am now all set to experiment

Some rejected update description ideas included "I want to duck you like an animal" and "go duck yourself". Ok, not really but I should try to sneak something in there next time just to see if it gets through review.
Since ducking is not familiar to many people, here's a little overview on its use in Crystalline.
Oftentimes guitarists will use moderate ducking settings in a subtle manner to compress the delay/reverb trail a little in order to tame the effect trail a bit while playing. Alternatively you can use higher sensitivity and lower threshold for a more drastic side chain compression style effect. Of course there's a wide range in between these extremes so you'll want to experiment with all 3 ducking parameters according to the source material you're running through Crystalline in order to achieve the desired result.
Here's some guitar examples, and the mother ducking tutorial for Crystalline.
Edit: Not sure why these aren't embedding at the moment so here's the links.

Sahweet. Is ducking the loopers on the table at this point?
@syrupcore said:
Yep.

The updates are...Stunning.
Good stuff. + many.
Holderness, FTW!
@HoldernessMedia The "ducking" feature adition is genious Chris! A Doug from the @thesoundtestroom would say "simply brilliant!".

Thanks man! It definitely makes Crystallline even more flexible so I hope people enjoy it.
Why are some of your apps universal some not?
your brilliant simple user interface would work on ipad & iphone....
why is e.g.
echopad works on ipad & iphone
crystalline is just for the ipad.
....
my iphone6 would be happy to use them ;-)
I will be releasing iPhone versions of the rest of my apps soon, probably before the end of the year.
yippie!
