iOS Audio Unit List
Effect Categories notes
- Glitch - includes bit crushing, sample rate reduction, and stutter effects.
- Saturation v. Distortion v. Overdrive - While, there is a lot of overlap in these, tagging as such based on typical searches.
- Multi v. others - Many effects could be describes as multi effects in a sense, delays often have modulation for example. Using multi here when the effect is principally a combination of effects.
