QVox

Just purchased this and am mad! I should have read the reviews. No chromatic pitch shift mode is available. How could you omit such a basic feature. This app is useless to me and I would like a refund.

This is a generally well designed app with very musical delay and panning options. The problem is that there is no chromatic pitch shift option. As someone who primarily improvises, this is a no-go as I’m constantly changing keys and cannot stop to think about which key I’m in to adjust QVox. Furthermore, I generally want each note to harmonize in the same way regardless of the key. 5 stars when chromatic pitch shifting is added.

This could be an amazing app but lacks some ESSENTIAL features, otherwise is fun to play to the presets but once you need to fine tune parameters these are the most important features missing: 1: Diatonic chromatic scale mode!: If you want to set specific intervals and want them to remain CONSTANT Chromatically you CAN’T do that here, say you want a 4th and a 6th above your original note and keep the same intervals chromatically, the scale you choose will keep changing the intervals... This could be resolved if this app had an option to chose “cents” for pitch shift instead of just “musical intervals”, that way I could choose to have the same exact intervals regardless of the note... A classic example for this would be trying to replicate Steve Vai’s “Ballerina 12/24”, that patch is a simple 4th and 6th above with 180 and 360 ms delay respectively on each interval BUT if you set those settings here you CAN’T play the song as Vai’s song modulates all the time and doesn’t have a root note so you’ll end up with notes changing where the intervals should remain static... 2: Independent delay times for each pitched voice: CAN’T do that here 3: Pan control for each pitched voice: CAN’T do that either, voices are always panned hard left-right 4: Saving user presets has an error where you CAN’T re-save or overwrite your presets!: If you just fine tuned your preset and want to save it it’ll ask you to save into a a DIFFERENT slot and if you use the same name it’ll still save it into a new different slot adding automatically a number so you’ll soon end up with a LONG list of repeated presets as you CAN’T erase them either! Eventide developers: please at least reply and hopefully you can fix those bugs and improve on those simple things

I’m very impressed by the low latency processing of this effect. It’s akin to having a hardware pedal (using iPad Pro 10.5, hosting in AUM). With an audio interface, I can make a believable 12 string guitar sound (with 12 step octaves) that tracks with nearly no lag/delay, unlike some other harmonizer apps (which I also like/respect, but have more delay & stutter). Multi tonals (3rds, 5ths, 7ths) track in nearly real time as well. A really useful effect to add to your arsenal. Eventide really delivers with their iOS Auv3 effects.

All plugins are amazing but this is just crazy addictive!!! Many thanks for bringing such awesome sound processors to iOS!
