5/5More than just intricate inebriated audio
It is easy to overlook the fact that this can be used for some fairly tame audio processing effects without having to fully inebriate the original. Of course if you are looking for a subtle/simple delay, compressor, filter, etc. or combination of common subtle/simple track effects you probably aren’t going to immediately reach for the Turnado, but you can. And since you have you might as well go down the rabbit hole and see where you end up. One thing I would love is to have control that would isolate certain modules so that they could be turned on/off globally, maintained even as saved and preset patches are changed. I suppose this already exists in a way, but there are times when I move on the fly between patches during a live broadcast and inadvertently hit a patch with a vocoder setting that causes a momentary, yet complete and non transparent fiasco that exposes me as a fraud that’s using Turnado ... disengaging certain modules globally that I know I’m not going to use and that I don’t want causing any more mayhem than I’m already creating intentionally. Just an idea/suggestion that would make it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫+🌪

5/5Jam Packed With Goodies
First off I love that this is AUv3 which makes work flow a breeze, also this plugin is easy to get lost in with all the features and parameters you can tweak. Plus it is merely a fraction of what you would pay for a desktop version. The creative possibilities for multiple genres not simply EDM etc...are exciting and inspiring with the XY features and 8 effects simultaneously. Great Job Sugar Bytes!

1/5Used to be my favorite
This used to be my favorite app for effects and manipulating tracks in IOS, now that it has dropped IAA my workflow has had to rearrange, IOS music has been changing too frequently between updates and bug fixes to unexplained interactivity being removed, it is too volatile to maintain a creative flow. Very sad end to the best app on the market.
