If Decent Sampler was a source for Auv3 FX’s
It’d be awesome if Decent Sampler had Auv3 FX. Instead of just having libraries of sampled instruments, and to have FX’s made by the community used in as a Auv3 effect slot in a host would be a huge thing.

Thing is, DS is “just” samples, which are ultimately easy to generate at its simplest (mic, record, name files). User-generated effects, on the other hand, need to be programmed in code or composed out of simpler effects. Modular environments like Audulus, Drambo and miRack are examples of apps with AUv3 support that can be used for the latter approach, there are quite a few examples of effects in Patchstorage for them.
What @Grandbear said. However, Decent Sampler does have an internal impulse response loader, and if you capture IRs for your own instrument when developing it, that is a custom effect of a sort. But they're tied to individual instruments.
And even if Decent Sampler added some kind of AI modelling to "capture" more fundamental aspects of "tone", I assume that would still be limited to the kind of stuff that TONEX and BYOD can do with their AI models, which I understand is still all about different ways to clip and EQ a signal, rather than modulate it. (If you're looking for community-based effects, besides the modular stuff mentioned above, I think those products are where it's at.)
Anyway, I don't know if I'd want to add another point of failure to an already pretty unstable app. No shade, because I love Decent Sampler and the community that's grown around it, but simply hasn't been the most reliable plugin for a lot of people. A lot of that is down to iOS's AUv3 memory limits, if I recall.
So many requests lead to Drambo as the best answer. Of course, you need to be someone like @rs2000 to assemble the correct pieces. @rs2000 has created 92 Drambo Patches at https://patchstorage.com/author/rs2000/.
There’s a community there making FX (and sequencers and instruments and synths).
They even have their own forum.
Ya, it can be buggy and still needs a lot work. They also never answer my messages on bugs I report. It needs more updates, at least it gets updates from time to time. And ya some of the libraries that people make aren’t as good for iOS, but it’s also something to do with Decent Sampler in general. It looks like they have a mess, like strings tangled together, and there only untangling slowly. There probably more focused on their desktop counterpart. I never knew what ToneX actually was, I didn’t even know it was Auv3. That’s news to me. BYOD is a freakin monster and the go to for Distortion. It’s a Distortion paradise. If only Drambo had more fx modules like BYOD.
Those are some great options. I’m waiting for more features and Fx to come to Drambo. And you have to be Drambo Savvy wit it. Lately I’ve been playing with Mela4.
I love DS but it can be so buggy that it’s hard to use it with a project for fear of crashing. Which has happened to me many times. And with a lot of my tracks being recorded live it can be a real hindrance.
