Twelve effects, each with its own on/off: auto-wah, chorus, phaser, flanger, delay, reverb (six spaces), EQ, compressor, bitcrush, ring modulator, wavefolder and stereo widener. Tempo sync, full MIDI Learn and presets. All on-device, no subscription and no data collected.

FAQ
Does Tonic FX work as a plug-in?
Yes. It runs as an AU and AUv3 effect inside your host (GarageBand, Logic, AUM, Cubasis, Drambo and others) and also as a standalone app, processing your microphone or line input.
Which effects does it include?
Twelve: auto-wah, chorus, phaser, flanger, delay, reverb (six spaces), EQ, compressor, bitcrush, ring modulator, wavefolder/fuzz and stereo widener. Each has its own on/off.
Do I need Tonic to use it?
No. Tonic FX is a standalone app — it is Tonic's effects section in its own leaner, cheaper product.
Do the effects follow the song tempo?
Yes. The delay and modulations sync to the host tempo (or to a built-in tap in standalone).
Is there a subscription or data collection?
No. One-time purchase, 100% on-device, no account, no ads and no data collected.
When does it launch?
Coming soon to the stores. Follow @rsjb_app for the launch announcement.
