Fingerlab has introduced DFX – a real-time Quad Multi-Effects Processor for iPad.
Here’s what they have to say about it:
Plug in any audio source, a guitar, a bass, a microphone, a DJ mixer. Or play your favorite iOS synth or drum machine with Audiobus or Apple Inter-App Audio. Or why not playing a track from your iTunes Music Library. Select one, two, three or four effects amongst 35 hi-quality digital audio effects and explore endless sonic possibilities. Delays, echos, reverbs, filters, tremolo, autowah, compressors, distortions, vocoders, resonators, etc… more possibilities that you can imagine.
At last, but not least, DFX is also a great little sound design machine. Just select one of the built-in tone synthesizers on the first effect and let your imagination build new sound landscapes at the tip of your fingers. We have had a lot fun making ours in the Factory presets.
No in-apps, no ads, no fuss. DFX is simple, intuitive and fun. No user guide required ;^)
Here’s a demo video for DFX:

US $1.99 – got it 🙂
No-brainer purchase of the week!
$2.29 in Canada, still a no-brainer purchase
Looks great, and I trust these guys to keep making this better and better considering their work with the DM1.
Absolutely a nobrainer! $2.99 in Canada here is a score! Beautifully designed and constructed. I love the fact it works with Audiobus too. A plus for me!!
Purchased. i have a feeling this will be extremely useful.
Ok, Ipad is still relatively new to me. How would you run sound from an old analogue synth through the iPad for this app?
CCK or lightning to USB connector then plug in an audio interface to the USB connector.
Auria a DAW for iPad has a nice list of ones that work with their software so probably work for audio in and out.

Another choice is the specialized audio interface like these
