If you’re a musician, audio engineer, or producer looking to push the boundaries of sound design, irio pro is an exciting app that deserves a spot on your radar. Originating as a personal, DIY project born out of crafting analog pedals and rig solutions, irio pro has evolved into a powerful, full-featured modular audio canvas for Apple platforms.
At its core, irio pro reimagines how audio modules interact with each other. Instead of being tied down to rigid, linear plugin chains, the app gives you a completely open workspace. You can place modules on a canvas and patch them together using virtual cables, routing audio in practically any way your creativity dictates.
Whether you want to split a signal, run multiple processing chains side-by-side, or send the left channel of a reverb into a delay while routing the right channel to an external output, irio pro makes complex, unconventional routing effortless. It functions seamlessly as a standalone application or as an AUv3 plugin inside popular digital audio workstations (DAWs) and live-looping software like Loopy Pro.
By bridging the gap between hardware patch bays and modern digital convenience, irio pro lets you build everything from subtle guitar and vocal processing chains to intricate, experimental soundscapes.
Features include:
- Modular Open Canvas: Freedom to place and arrange modules anywhere on a visual workspace without being restricted to fixed chain orders.
- Flexible Patching: Drag and drop virtual cables to route signals however you see fit—split audio, run parallel modules, or feed outputs into complex feedback loops.
- AUv3 Plugin Support: Integrates directly as an AUv3 plugin inside popular iOS/macOS DAWs and apps (such as Loopy Pro) or runs as a standalone tool.
- Convolution & Impulse Response (IR) Processing: Built on a foundation of high-quality IR loading for realistic pedal, cab, and acoustic space modeling.
- Multi-Output & Channel Routing: Route individual stereo or mono channels (e.g., left and right sides) to distinct processors or external audio interface outputs.
- Cross-Platform Compatibility: Runs across Apple’s ecosystem, supporting iPhone, iPad, and Apple Silicon Macs.
- CPU-Driven Scalability: Add as many modules and complex patches as your device’s hardware can handle.
