At the beginning this certainly sounds like many effects but not exciting because the iOS market is already full of multi-effects processor. If you know Oliver the developer and tracked the evolution of his older app Elastic Drums so you can be sure that it’s not a normal effect processor. That’s the way it is!
Elastic FX allows musicians to use up to 4 different effects at the same time in four different slots. Simply connect EFX to any input source (built-in microphone, external keyboard, guitar, iOS apps (Synthesizers, drum machines) via Inter-App-Audio / Audiobus or import an audio-file directly in the app and manipulate it real-time with four different effects.
The engine can do more than just putting effects on audio signals. With an straightforward Kaoss Pad style interface, musicians can morph through the different effects and automate/record the XY-Pad tweak with up to 8 bars length. This straightforward designed app with the complex engine behind open ingenious new sound worlds with the help of simple finger swipes. Elastic FX shows nicely why an iPad can be a nice sound design tool. Transform any kind of sounds with your fingers.
