The Strange Agency is known for developing strange and unique audio apps. This iPad app is for recording and mangling sound loops.
You can use it like a phrase looper, by recording horizontally while using the step controls to step through vertical recording position. You can use it as a realtime processor by using ThruRecord mode. You can record and playback at completely differently speeds. You can even record backwards! You can record and playback diagonally across the Donut surface, creating glitchy staccato sounds. You can record and playback with multiple heads, recording or playing multiple positions at once. You can spread the heads vertically to access different portions of the Donut, or you can spread them horizontally to create an echo effect.
Wobble is a dubstep wobbler for the iPhone. Play filthy dubstep bass right on your phone! This release comes with 3 wobble packs. Each wobble pack has 16 wobbles, 4 noises and 4 beats to play along with.
This is a pretty basic app. It’s just samples at the moment. Seems like the developer is eager to add new features and improve this bad boy.
Future Wobble packs will be released as updates so please continue to update for new sounds and wobbles from some of your favorite artists in the dubstep realm.
Thank you for all the positive feedback in the ratings. We are working to make progress in the development of this app in adding more functionality in future releases. So please keep an eye out as we continually try to push new releases of Wobble!
A must have tool for producers, dj’s, audio enthusiasts, dubsteppers and bass heads. ‘Dubstep Jam’ lets you create your own dubstep arrangements!
The Sequencer uses studio quality samples, and is the perfect tool for creating fully customizable drum loops. You can then layer these with fx, wobble bass and formant bass synthesizer samples to create the ultimate Dubstep tune!
Perfect for making loops on the move and showing everybody that you’re the king of Dubstep. Dubstep Jam contains a large quantity of drum samples, including: Kick drums, snares, claps, hi-hats, percussion, cymbals and other sound fx.
It features over 120 Dubstep synthesizer sounds over a large range of pitches allowing for flexible creation of melodies! Now includes a keyboard that works in real time.
Up to ten instruments can be played at any time, each with its own volume control.
The global pitch function lets you alter the master pitch for each instrument, allowing you to tune your drum kit as you desire.
RGBSOUND is a cool visual based loop sequencer. We have been following the evolution of this app and it is really shaping up nicely (no pun intended). RGBSOUND version 1.2 can now record the produced tracks in a .rgbsound file format that can be shared through ITunes. Soon there will be a Dj Puzzle set of loops for this app! For iPhone and iPad.
New sounds added, new features for time stretching, ability to load your own samples.
Beatboxers, do what Dub FX does with his pedals on your iPhone using the Loopy 2 app.
Create music by layering looped recordings of singing, beatboxing, voice looping, or playing an instrument with a savvy, sophisticated, tactile new looper that totally reinvents the formula.
While other music creation apps tend to be either powerful but difficult to learn, or easy to use but limited in features, Loopy 2 doesn’t compromise.
NEW FEATURES:
Fully configurable fade-in and fade-out!
“Re-record” option when clearing, to re-record a track
Chained mute: Mute another track while counting-in recording, and the track will mute once recording ends
