JAX Unisonic is a special Audio Unit, able to produce up to 8 additional voices from any audio input.

New version 1.7
Old version 1.6
Release Notes Maintenance Update 1.7 (specific host problems, again) - The inbuilt MIDI Control of JAX Unisonic is now optional, an additional AU parameter and a control was added to the user interface. Background: JAX Unisonic is basically an *audio effect unit*. (We implemented direct MIDI control merely for more comfort when automating parameters.) However, some host applications do implement MIDI control to audio effect plugins in a very questionable way. The MIDI stream to insert audio effects, (which are audio effects, not MIDI effects!) should be *optionally* routed by host applications. Otherwise these audio effects most likely will not work as expected, if inserted into MIDI instrument tracks for instance (which expect MIDI only). The MIDI enabled effect audio units do not know anything about of where they are inserted. So this is a potentially undefined behavior, if inserted into MIDI instrument tracks and the host then  just forwards these MIDI messages for the instruments wrongly to the connected effects. We therefore added the option to suspend our direct MIDI control to prevent these hosts  forwarding WRONG MIDI data uncontrolled to the chained insert effects. So MIDI control is now switched off by default. If JAX Unisonic is inserted (as an audio effect) into an instrument track, for instance,  the MIDI tor the instruments should NOT be forwarded (passed thru) to the effect(s), as this results in a senseless and questionable, uncontrolled MIDI routing then and (out of) control this way... The MIDI data on such connections are thought for the instruments, but surely not for the chained insert effects! For doing that right, hosts must provide independent MIDI control channels for MIDI enabled audio effects,  as some hosts already implement correctly! Please note, that you now may ignore any direct MIDI capabilities of JAX Unisonic completely, by only using parameter automation. Some hosts will let you assign MIDI controllers to AU parameters and let you do all automation this way. We will, b.t.w continue teaching host developers for doing it right this way. ^^

Release Notes About to embark on MIDI stuff (honest) and as that might take a while, I thought it'd be nice to get some (mostly sequencer) tweaks out that didn't quite make it in the last version. • SMARP mode - is a sort of "smart" arpeggiator thingy / alternative synth voice • SEM, SDS and POPS are new synth and drum sounds • Swell is a new mode for touch sequence events • By popular request, I added a play / stop button to the sequencer view • Added an optional "electro" EQ curve to the output (switchable from mixer view)
