Glitchscaper rhythm & glitch machine appl

GlitchScaper is a rhythm machine glitch app with six sound generators, each controlled by a two-layer cycle sequencer, designed to easily create glitchy patterns and scapes.

To quickly find new ideas, each generator has separate options for making sequences and tones. The parameters of the new sequences and tones are set randomly, but are guided by several user-defined options, which in outline define the steps of the sequence and the type of tone or noise. This allows you make a quick draft of a pattern and then simply tweak it to get the final sound. The advanced copy function gives you ability to quickly make a new preset by copying sequences and tones from existing ones.

The tone generator makes bright and rich sounds based on 12 complex waveforms or various types of noise, and can also use an external input as a signal source. Effects transform the tone from smoothly varying to full of squeaks and rattles. Each effect is modulated by a special envelope generator with different shapes that change throughout the sequencer step.

The sound generators have individual spatial effects, as well as a common reverb space for all generators that adds an ambient layer to the final mix. The final mix can be even brighter and heavy or pumping with the built-in harmonic exciter and bass enhancer.

The intuitive interface and powerful sound design features make this application super convenient for creating your own, unique sound.

GlitchScaper is great for creating simple beats with an interesting and unusual sound, but it was originally designed for digital distorted patterns with longer steps that blend perfectly with the rhythms of classic drum machines and sequencers.

GlitchScaper is a universal application for iOS and macOS. It can work on iPhone and iPad as well as Mac / MacBook with M1 chip (and later). GlitchScaper works on iPhone and iPad standalone, as an Audio Unit or Inter-App Audio module, and supports Audiobus and Ableton Link. On MacOS, GlitchScaper can works both as a standalone application and as an Audio unit (AUv3) with DAWs and audio unit hosts like Ableton Live, Logic Pro, GarageBand, MainStage, Cockos Reaper, Plogue Bidule, Hosting AU, and other hosts that support AUv3 plugins. All application features are available on iOS and macOS, including MIDI support (with a MIDI learn option) and audio unit parameters. GlitchScaper has a built-in detailed description of all parameters also available as PDF file on the application site.

Melodyne Style Pitch Correction App For iOS
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , , ,

Vocal Tune Studio, pitch and time correction app for vocal recordings is now finally here on your iPhone or iPad! Use it as an Audio Unit effect inside your favourite DAW or in standalone mode. Get it now for a discounted intro price.

From popular effects to subtile correction:

Retune notes to achieve the popular auto tune effect or apply a more subtle correction. Besides pitch correction, notes can be corrected for timing and volume level as well.

Deep editing:

Each individual note can be adjusted for retune time, retune amount, volume and the amount of formant correction. Artificial vibrato can also be added and adjusted to taste using the vibrato depth and rate controls and settings to adjust the time when the vibrato kicks in and the time in which it reaches the full vibrato depth to obtain a natural sounding vibrato.

Key and scale detection:

Vocal Tune Studio can detect the key and scale of a vocal recording automatically or a key and scale can be manually chosen.

Two workflows:

Choose between two workflows similar to popular desktop vocal tune software: start with either all notes quantised (corrected) or non-quantised. When choosing non-quantised, an additional Pitch Quantisation slider lets you move notes between their original sung pitch and the target pitch within the selected key and scale.

Time correction as a bonus for all audio material:

Aside from vocal pitch correction, Vocal Tune Studio also features a generic time correction/stretching mode which works on any type of audio material (not only vocals, but also guitars etc.). In this mode, any part of a recording that was played off-beat can be time corrected without affecting parts that were recorded in time.

Export MIDI:

Besides the host’s ability to render the effect to an audio file, the identified notes can also be exported as standard MIDI file.

Standalone mode:

Besides being a AUv3 plug-in, you can also run the app standalone. Record audio directly, import an audio file or paste an audio file from the iOS clipboard. After pitch and/or time correction, you can export audio to a FLAC file.

Note:

Vocal Tune Studio is also available within our DAW, Audio Evolution Mobile Studio and offers much higher integration there, not requiring to ‘record’ the audio first into Vocal Tune Studio.

Speldosa Wintergatan Music Box iOS
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , , ,

Speldosa Wintergatan Music Box

Speldosa (Wintergatan Music Box) is an Audio Unit instrument, the result of a unique collaboration between Klevgrand and the Swedish artist Wintergatan/Martin Molin. Wintergatan has primarily worked in the physical world (the Marble Machine is probably the most astonishing example), while Klevgrand has performed its craft within the digital sphere. When these two worlds now meet, the result is something that both visually and aurally inspires the creation of new compelling melodies.

Speldosa (Swedish for “Music Box”) is the essence of the shared beliefs of Klevgrand and Wintergatan, and their fascination with minimalism. A simple melody played on a music box can contain an equal amount of emotional power as any symphonic work. There is something about the music box sound that never ceases to fascinate.

The instrument itself has been meticulously recorded by Wintergatan and transformed into a playable digital instrument plugin. It features four different models (Modern, Vintage, Antique, and Eternal = Reversed), two different Room models, and an algorithmic reverb.

Wintergatan about Speldosa:

“I created the sound by sampling a music box using an acoustic guitar as resonance box. I chose the best samples and it was instant magic. The Music Box went on to become the sonic signature for my two bands, Detektivbyrån and Wintergatan, both recognised for their unique sound. The Speldosa has been the secret sauce in my music career and i hope other musicians finds it as useful as I have.

There is a special quality to this exact music box sound that lifts it above the novelty feeling of a toy and turns it into a real music instrument. It just sounds so good, that’s really it. And it is a sound that makes you write music instantly – the music comes from the sound itself.

During the collaboration with Klevgrand, when they sent me the first beta version of the plugin, i ended up playing around with the sound for three hours, losing track of time. I wrote three songs that day when i was scheduled to actually do something else. That’s what the sound does to me, and i think it will do the same for others.”

Features:

– Four different music box characters
– Two room ambiences
– Spacious reverb
– Optional vibrato
– Output level

This unique virtual instrument introduces a new “Audio Model” format, capable of containing thousands of waves extracted from ordinary audio files. These waves – and how they’re structured – lays the ground for how Tomofon generates audio, resulting in a highly flexible and instantly expressive instrument. On one hand it can sound very organic, even lifelike, and on the other, like something out of this world. Whether you want to play around with the Audio Model Starter Pack (instruments & voices) and factory presets, or import your own audio to shape your own unique soundscapes – it is fair to say that you are in for a creative journey.

How does it work?

Tomofon converts audio files into a large set of oscillating waves, which are then mapped into pitch zones where each wave represents one layer (a bit similar to how a sampler structures different velocity zones). The main difference is that since each zone is populated with waves instead of ordinary samples, the synth engine can morph between them (both layers and zones). This makes all transitions between zones and layers continuous and seamless.

Create and share your own unique sounds

A significant feature of this plug-in is that users can import their own audio files and create new and unique Audio Models. Ordinary audio files (preferably with monophonic content) can easily be imported and distributed into different pitch zones over the keyboard range, either automatically or manually. Doing an automatic import is basically a one-click process which instantly results in a proper playable Audio Model. A manual import gives the user full control of which waves should end up in which pitch zone. Last but not least you can easily share your own created Audio Models with others.

Tomofon comes pre-loaded with a pack of 124 Audio Models based on high quality audio recordings of multiple expressions. These models includes several instruments like strings, vocals, brass, woodwind, guitars and more. Along with these models there are over 180 presets to get you going right away. From there on you can venture further and start creating Audio Models based on your own audio files and experiment on the types of sounds they can grow to be.

Features

– Wide selection of factory presets and Audio Models
– Integrated audio sample importer and Audio Model editor
– Pitch and (layer) depth envelopes that can be edited by the user
– Envelope times can be controlled separately via MIDI velocity
– Several LFO:s (including Sample and Hold with randomness)
– Modulation matrix (2 x MIDI CC, Velocity and Keymap)
– Monophonic playback with separate glide times for pitch and velocity
– Polyphonic legato playback where started notes syncs envelopes with currently playing ones
– Up to 4 doubling voices with separate pitch, pan and level
– Filter with modulation possibilities
– Post Reverb, Delay and EQ
