Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.

Eventide ShimmerVerb is out
It’s pretty lush sounding. Here is a Quick Play demo playing Ravenscroft 275 Piano through a bunch of presets

Oh my... I must have this. I love those spaces. I'll bet everything has a special quality with this added.
That’s so annoying - I had to go and get this for desktop. I wish it would stop!
Not seeing it yet in app store, but I will get it. 😇
Only 473 algorithms to go!

ShimmerVerb combines a massively lustrous reverb with parallel pitch shifters to add ethereal layers making any signal, well, "shimmer." Oftentimes, producers would achieve the effect by using Eventide pitch shifting hardware such as the H910, H949, or H3000 or other rack mount units in combination with a reverb. This production technique was popularized by Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno on U2's The Unforgettable Fire. Now, this iconic sound has been refined and extended with a modern, unified interface that is great for adding dreamy ambiance to guitars, keys, synths, samples, and vocals. In typical Eventide fashion, features have been added such as the ability to infinitely feedback the signal, resulting in cascading reverbs that smear into oblivion. Feedback can be further fine-tuned by specifying which frequencies are fed back through the low/mid/high cross-over network.
ShimmerVerb shines via its playable, performance-based parameters. "The Ribbon" is an easy to program performance macro allowing users to morph between two settings with one control. Desktop users can plug in a MIDI keyboard and gain tactile command over this function via the modulation wheel. Ribbon mappings are great for Feedback swells, moving the Pitch knobs, or changing the Size for a massive detuning result. ShimmerVerb also boasts a HotSwitch for calling up another state of parameters inside the same preset. Use this for changing octaves, turning off/on the pitch shifters, or simply turning the Mix up or down while crafting your performance. Finally, the Freeze button allows you to make smeared textures out of single voices, full pads, or percussive elements resulting in metallic "shimmers."
Features:
Unique reverb plug-in with parallel pitch shifters on the reverb tail
Easily pitch with perfect fourths, fifths, and octaves
Micropitch tuning available around perfect intervals
Four octaves of pitch shifting (from two octaves down to two octaves up)
Delay pitched signals up to one second or sync them to your DAW's tempo
Feedback determines how much delayed signal is fed back into the input of the reverb
Low, Mid, and High cross-over network determines which frequencies are fed back
FREEZE holds the current state of the reverb in a smeared texture
The RIBBON allows for real-time modification of several parameters at once
HOTSWITCH allows for instant switching between two sets of parameters within one preset

Lol @gusgranite we must have hit that post button almost exactly same time
But yours has a demo. Way more useful!
Actually very true.
Only $6.02 in my account, so I'll pass.
Wish I could extract that from my account, but no. (Thanks Apple!)
Better to just go purchase an Eventide H9 max and receive all future algorithms for free! 🤗
Dammit eventide! Sounds great but I’ll be that guy. Do I need this with all the other shimmer/reverb apps I already have? 😂
@Gavinski Shimmer shootout ??
Wow. The things $10 can buy on iOS. We are spoiled.
$5.53 in mine!
I’ve got lots of reverbs (and I’m not a huge shimmer fan) - and I’ve even bought two Eventide plugins I don’t like at all - but I do like the ribbon and the freeze.
Together, we can pool our limited funds and shimmerverb! 🤗
And rule the world!!!!
i feel like blackhole shimmers so good and alteza as well! does this actually sound different than those?? is there a time to call upon this over blackhole? i’m on the fence , but also broke 🤣
Was thinking the same. Damn thing is not out here yet, 😂. In the meantime you can content yourself with the Koala FX vid I just uploaded half an hour ago 😉.
In mine too 😉
There's a huge difference though: You can combine the AUv3 versions as you like (until the CPU maxes out), impossible on the H9.
BTW, this kind of shimmer reverb is quite easy to do in Drambo 😅
beautiful! and I think I want the keyboard ... looks so nice
I’m with you here.
BLEASS came out with a shimmer which I haven’t even tested. I’m so well covered with Blackhole and Alteza that I don’t feel I need one more.
I don't know why I have 4 shimmers now, because I don't even use shimmer that much 😂. I have slowly realised I generally prefer to use a pitched delay and add a bit of reverb. For example Woodulator + any reverb, though Stratosphere is one of my current faves. Much more interesting. 😛
@Orville it’s spelled ‘ethereal’.
Yes, I am that guy.
I'm too preferring pitched delay through a reverb ; often with a little bit of saturation in between.
@McD let me know what you think compared to TB Reverb’s shimmer - that’s currently my favorite and I remember a track or two of yours with it
Right now I’m using BLEASS shimmer and Alteza. Not sure if I need another one. I do like the Eventide stuff though.
I am also one of those guys. Where do you see it misspelled?
The AppStore...
Oops, they've missed the v in etherival. 😋
