Waldorf has introduced Streichfett for iOS, bringing the string machine sound of the Streichfett hardware to iPad & iPhone.
Based on the same dual sound engine as the Streichfett hardware and plug-in version, the app reproduces the tonal characteristics associated with string machines widely used in 1970s and 1980s film music.
They say that “Users will get the same sound as in the hardware and the plugin version of the Streichfett.”
The dual sound engine of the Streichfett features a fully polyphonic String Section and an eight-voice Solo Section. The Ensemble effect adds movement and width to the String Section sound, while the Effects Section offers adjustable Phaser and Reverb. The Animate function can be used to modulate the Strings Registration, enabling gradual sound morphs.
The Solo Section includes presets named Bass, E-Piano, and Clavi, which provide percussive and textured sounds designed to complement the String Section. The user interface is straightforward, providing access to a complex sound engine capable of producing detailed pad sounds.
Users can play via the touchscreen or in AUv3 hosts such as Apple’s Logic Pro for iPad, or Steinberg’s Cubasis 3 and AUM for both iPad and iPhone. External MIDI controllers can be connected via USB.
Streichfett Audio Demo:
Streichfett for iOS is available now in for €9.99 (including VAT) / $9.99 until 13th July (normally €17.99 (including VAT) / $14.99.)
UVI has introduced Bloom, a new audio effect plugin for Mac + Windows designed for creating reverb with with rich, blooming tails that naturally evolve over time.
Bloom gives you detailed control over its behavior with three modes, Single, Parallel, and Serial, each offering distinct spatial textures. Choose tap styles ranging from tight and natural to distant and ambient, and then shape your sound with dedicated diffusion, width, tone, modulation, and freeze, all wrapped in a clean, single-panel design that puts creativity first.
At the heart of Bloom is the Rise control, a parameter that shapes how quickly the reverb blooms into its full form. Using offset reverb engines, Rise creates dynamic movement and depth, and naturally dims transients without relying on modulation or envelopes.
Bloom Audio Demos:
Bloom is available now, with an intro price of $39 (normally $79).
Numerical Audio has introduced Mr. LoFi, a new LoFi Audio Processor for iOS.

A Macro Control Knob offers instant adjustment of the overall effect, while dedicated controls for Noise, Warble, and Age provide further sound shaping and fine-tuning.
