JAX Decimator (Audio Unit) for Android

11 things about JAX Decimator (Audio Unit)

1. JAX Decimator continues our [ Just An Extension ] series of specialised audio effect processors and delivers a distortion effect alike audio unit (AUv3), which is expert in degrading digital audio, controllable in realtime (also via direct MIDI controllers).

2. Audio Units are Apples preferred method of providing shared audio components (extensions) for system wide usage on all of their platforms.

3. Low fidelity audio of that sort therefore is a production secret of many professional musicians and also mostly the reason for the legendary characteristics of some ancient production equipment caused by the technical limitations of that time.

4. Currently there is no possibility to package these audio units for all platforms due to the fundamentally different architectures and Apples distribution politics.

5. Reducing resolution of audio surprisingly generates paradox but interesting sonic results due to the fact, that a wide range of new overtones is produced this way.

6. With JAX Decimator you can artificially and creatively degrade your audio streams mainly based on 2 fundamentally different reducing mechanisms.

7. A manual is embedded into the distribution app, which works as a minimal audio unit host for testing the shipped extension.

8. If you deinstall the app, the audio unit is removed also from the system and no longer available to other apps.

9. The audio effect also includes some complex DSP boost from our analog modelled JAF Collection.

10. It is registered as a MIDI controlled audio effect.

11. Unlike with old IAA (Inter-App-Audio), multiple instances can be loaded and process audio streams concurrently.
