Yukawa - AUv3 Plug-in Effect

Yukawa is one of those rare apps that manages to be both simple and deep. It’s so easy to set up a basic delay in the “stereo delay” section. Then you start tweaking. You hit the ping pong button and listen to all the little noises that start scattering around your head. Then you saturate them to give them fuzz… Then you wonder what it would all start to sound like if you sent a bit of sound to the filter and added a little modulated, wah-like action to it. And then what if you sent some sound to the multi tap for an easily controlled, rhythmic feel? And sent that over to the filter too? The point: not only will each tweak yield interesting, musical sounds, but they’ll also teach you a lot about how delays work. Like all of Icegear’s effects apps, the circuit diagram makes everything so comprehensible and controllable— no black boxes here. And you’ll have a blast falling down the rabbit hole of sound design.

The app has nice delay although it can be noisy. Some delay factory settings set up a wooshing sound that continues even with no input. Use witching AUN in a simple Session , it disconnects randomly and especially if recording. It can be reloaded but it reloads muted, a hassle. Inside Cubasis 3 it does not load correctly as an InterApp send. I have requested a refund. Used on iPhone 12 Pro Max with latest iOS. 2 stars for when it works.

You know all those ios instruments collecting dust in your device, coz they just aren’t inspiring to play? Well *this* is fantastic for taking those dull, lifeless sounds into creative, new, fun to play directions :-)
