Features & Capabilities

This is an AUv3 compatible effect which must be used as plugin with your favourite DAW such as Cubasis, Meteor, Auria or GarageBand. It supports a modern graphical interface and presets with stereo meters for monitoring signal levels.

This shimmer effect is a combination of effects that creates an etherial wall of sound. The effect combines a digital delay and pitch shifter to create multiple harmonies before entering a rich long reverb with controllable filtering. The resulting effect is a monsterously huge sound adding a spacious atmospheric quality to any lead instrument or vocal.

The effect also features many beat synced modulation options with various modes of operation such as your basic pans and vibrato effects but including sweeps and morphing harmonies.

Finally to give the effect some real 'shimmer' we've added a harmonic exciter and a sustain section which samples and holds on to the sound to pull out and emphesise the harmonics.

The effect presents all the most frequently used controls to the user in a single screen, but each effect has it's own distinct set of controls and a total of 7 pre-configured touch pads allowing easy recording of controller data.

This plugin allows complete parameter automation and auto synced modulation to master tempo.

This is one of a suite of AUv3 compatible plugins which will also soon be available from 4Pockets.

It won’t recognize anymore by GarageBand. I used to love this AU for my acoustic guitar effect through irig hd2.

I Love the sounds of this plugin but the pitch-shift/shimmer option is grayed out when I want to use external audio source like my guitar. It says its only available at 44.1-48KHs sample rate but works fine when using the internal sounds like they keyboards and ect. I hope there is a way to fix this so I can use the most important effect with my guitar. I’m also using GarageBand on my iPad.

This is an amazing sounding and highly configurable app. I’m using an iPhone 7+ with iOs 14, and Shimmer works seamlessly for me, in AUM. (I definitely recommend upgrading to iOS 14; you’ll find that things speed up and memory issues and audio dropouts are not prevalent like in iOS 13, which for me was a flop.) There’s a healthy amount of presets. Sound is very smooth. Great editing power. Has XY controls, too! One problem, and perhaps the only one for me in this app, is that when you click on an edit for a parameter, you get to a screen that doesn’t give you a button to return to the main interface.This is easily solved by swiping on the side rails, which gives you all the successive parameter editing areas and back to the main. Otherwise, I don’t know how anybody could possibly give this a bad rap, when they’re probably lazy and have zero understanding of how to explore any new interface. Kudos to the developer for creating this and charging a reasonable price!
