"RiffWorks is a clever, lightweight application that mirrors the creative process of song writing."
Dan Halberg, GuitarGearHeads RiffWorks Review
Attaq is the ultimate Auto-wah filter effect. With Manual, Envelope or Sequence modes you can create wah effects from subtle to wild based on picking strength or a pattern.
Tripwire is a three-band compressor and distortion that can be used for everything from traditional low-mid-high eq to advanced frequency dependent compression and expansion, to insane pitch shifted distortion.
Tempest is eight modulation effects in one unit. With selectable wave shapes and full control over range, depth and tempo-syncable speed, it is extremely flexible without being overly complex.
4x4 is more than your average multi-tap delay. It actually uses 4 discreet delay lines with separate control over tempo-syncable delay time. With the adjustable feedback damping, you go from warm tape-echo sounds to bright digital delay sparkle.
Supertanker reverb comes with spring and plate style reverbs and allows you to adjust the size and damping of the reverb.
Stamina is an optical style compressor that is perfect for tightening up a performance or getting radical pumping effects.
No Equal has traditional British EQ controls which are great for dialing in silky smooth frequency changes, without harsh peaky artifacts.
InstantDrummer provides tempo-sycronized drum loop sessions that can be accessed easily from within RiffWorks guitar recording software. Most RiffWorks InstantDrummer Sessions are loop recordings of professional drummers brought into the InstantDrummer format for easy manipulation by RiffWorks users. Play along with InstantDrummer sessions by famous drummers like Alan White (Yes, Lennon), Jason McGerr (Death Cab for Cutie), John Tempesta (Rob Zombie, Exodus, Testament, Tony Iommi, The Cult), Lonnie Wilson (Brooks and Dunn, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw), and Matt Sorum (Guns N Roses, Velvet Revolver). Use them in your recordings royalty free!
Listen to previews and find more than 100 InstantDrummer sessions ($0 - $4.99 each) to use with RiffWorks T4 and RiffWorks Standard.
Pick a groove, count off a tempo, and InstantDrummer inspires you to play along with continuously varying drum tracks using perfectly matched, full kit studio drum recordings.
Spin the INTENSITY knob to set the mood from mellow to aggressive. Dial in some VARIATION to get a constantly evolving beat. AMBIENCE adds room sound and GAIN sets the level. No tedious editing or disappointing sounds, just a great drummer, ready to jam. Add and adjust drums as you record or after you finish recording.
