Turnado is a multi-effect tool, crafted especially for massive real-time audio manipulation.
It combines unique and dynamic effects with the most intuitive and immediate control you can imagine.
Just turn it on and crank it up.
The idea is simple:
Turn a knob and the effect is on.
Turn the knob further to adjust effect parameters and apply modulations.
Turn the knob down and the effect is off.
Turnado comes for Mac/PC as Standalone application and VST/AU Plugin.
