AUv3 Guide: Fauve

Welcome back to the AUv3 Guide that I started about a year ago with the aim of documenting/curating these fantastic IOS plugins for iPhone and iPad. Developers have continued to release these excelent instruments, effects and utilities over the course of this year, the musical ecosystem for mobile musicians goes from strength to strength.

In this post we take a look at K-Devices effect plugin Fauve and walk through a few different scenarios for it's use, exploring some of it's presets and having fun along the way

First of all, let me share a link, so that you can take a look at it on the App store, maybe buy it if I convince you to do so.

What is it though? What does it do?

For lovers of all things artfully fractured and broken, Fauve is a playground for decomposing and reconstituting your sounds that goes far beyond glitch: I’m using it to sculpt refined rhythms, textures, and totally new sonic phrases, invented in collaboration with the plug-in.
This is a new go-to tool for me. I’m obsessed.

Fauve is an audio processor that collects sonic fragments and replays them, not always faithfully. It forgets, distorts, and glitches into new meanings. Like the hallucination of a broken machine.
A fractured memory, yours to reshape.

The official video

My own experimentation

In the above video I am running a sequencer called Woodpecker that is driving the Elastic OSC synth and Fauve is then activated on the track to take effect. I then hop through some of the presets and change the mix level to increase the amount of effect that is applied.

The plan is that when creating further videos featuring this plugin, they could be added to this post at a later date and if you find them useful well into the future (beyond the usual 7 day window), you can of course tip us.
