Gliss Drawing iPad Synthesizer

Gliss lets you play sound files and mix them easily by drawing on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.
With gliss you can load your sounds and draw them on the gliss sequencer in a quick, intuitive way that lets you make music on the fly.
Play your mix using a tempo or scrub through by tilting your iPhone. The agility of gliss allows you to improvise and perform using the iPhone as a controller and interface.
Launch gliss and experience an hybrid of a sequencer, a game, an instrument and a generative music system.
Put sound under your fingertips with 5 different colors to draw notes, sequences and sounds.
Users giving us less stars might have expected a cheap version of yet another 16 step sequencer. Be prepared for a different approach on sound creation!

List of features:

• 5 colors to draw different sounds / samples / voices
• sample upload via wifi
• sample playback in different pitches using various scales
• physical tilt-controlled playhead, which adapts movements of the hand
• physical randomization option: control random pitches with the phone’s tilt
• muting voices
• glissandi over several octaves
• free or grid enabled placement of notes
• drifting selections
• saving / opening of projects
• let your mp3s play in the background using iPhone’s standard iPod App
• multiple sheets to draw your sounds on

• Sample Sets: A new instrument, which takes a list of samples and puts them on the y axis. So instead of controlling the frequency, multiple samples can be played by one colour. This can be used to create beats and rhythms, because you can have one drum set on one colour. Currently samples are played back in full length, although they are represented only by one dot.
• New Scheduler. The new scheduler is much more accurate and makes it possible to set the tempo by BPM and different types of meters.
• Back to original sequence. With a double tap on the randomization button, you can restore the original sequence. In a similar way you can get back to a default tempo, which can be set in the preferences, by double tapping the tempo button.
• Recording. You can now record your perfromance. Double tap on the playback mode button to start recording.
• Sequence organisation. Tap on the sequence number and you get a table with all sequences of the project. Here you can also change the position of a sequence, duplicate or delete it.
• Change direction but keep tempo. When you lock the tempo, you can now still change the direction. This is the current default.
• Slightly re-designed user interface.
• Upload zip files of samples.
• Soundcloud support: Share your recordings on soundcloud.
• Free samples: download hundreds of samples from soundcloud’s OPLC sample library for free!
• Please note that earlier projects might not work a 100%. So make sure you backup everything.

Gliss is available for $2.99

Professional Vocoder For iPad

Voice Synth is a specialized synthesizer for creative voice sculpting

✭✭✭ Ideal tool for creative voice expression ✭✭✭
Voice Synth is much more than your average voice changer app. Create and design your own incredible voices that live, breathe and evolve in real-time as you play. Sound like famous pop artists, “deep” movie voices (“Soon… in this theatre”), a close harmony choir, a robot, a church organ, a baby, lion, guitar, old telephone or anything else you can create. Sing in the mic and become a true artist by tweaking the controls of the vocoder, sampler, pitch and formant shifter, automatic tuning and harmony arranger, distortion, delay, stereo chorus and reverb.

✭✭✭ Voice Synth is a smart instrument ✭✭✭
We spent more than a year designing easy controls optimized for voice sculpting. So you don’t have to deal with the technical complexity of conventional vocoders or synthesizers:

✔ Intuitive voice design: you can tweak every aspect of your voice separately. No experience required, your ears will guide you
✔ Intuitive interface: no scrolling through menus, all voice controls and display information are always available
✔ One app, two interfaces: a dedicated interface designed for iPad and a compact interface for iPhone and iPod without any loss of features so you can create anywhere you go.

What’s New in Version 2.1

* Retina graphics for iPad 3
* Preset Library with over 100 factory presets and unlimited user presets

✭✭✭ The ideal addition to any project ✭✭✭
Create improved, bizarre, funny, scary or out of this world voices:

✔ Enrich your movie or YouTube video
✔ Enrich your own music by adding your voice
✔ Add famous autotune effects in your musical compositions
✔ Sound like a virtuoso with the tune mode assistant: sing in key and create multiple voices in musical harmony
✔ … or any other voice effect you might need as a DJ or announcer for a live performance

* IMPORTANT NOTE *

1) Some users reported issues with the built-in mic (no sound or noise)

2) We are investigating and resolving this issue!

3) If you experience this, use a headset with included microphone (e.g. standard Apple headset)

Auld Lang Syne On iPad
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , ,

Auld Lang Sang On iPad

Legendary keyboardist from rock band Dream Theater wishes everyone a happy new year. His gift to you is a short performance of Auld Lang Syne which he performs on his iPad app MorphWiz.

MorphWiz is the second app to bear the Jordan Rudess name. MorphWiz is partly inspired by the Haken Continuum Fingerboard, a radically innovative and revolutionary MIDI instrument that Jordan uses on stage and in the studio with Dream Theater.

Like the Continuum, Jordan Rudess’ MorphWiz is a vertical grid based musical instrument that allows a whole new level of expressive control!

If you’re a beginner, you’ll love experimenting with all of the presets, but if you’re a professional musician, you will soon be blown away by one of the coolest methods of controlling sound that you’ve ever laid hands on.

Jordan states, “Our goal was to create an instrument that would allow the seamless morphing of the audio and visual domain while delivering a seamless musical experience. I believe the iPhone/iPad multitouch platform opens up a whole new world of creation of electronic musical instruments and we’re proud MorphWiz is our first major offering. My experience and involvement with the Haken Continuum and extraordinary Bebot app brought to life an advanced pitch control system that is still uncharted territory for many in today’s music instrument world. This is the heart of MorphWiz.”

Over 80 Jordan Rudess-created patches

FEATURES:

•Assign audio waveforms as visual shapes to the grid and morph between them with your fingers on the grid or the accelerometer

•Rounding pitch on initial attack and/or after a slide
•Independent control for up to 10 simultaneous notes
•Finger Vibrato Effect (FVE) where you can achieve vibrato even when lock pitch is selected and the pitch is snapping to the grid!

•Trippy full-color, animated particles, fire, and ring effects visually radiate under your fingertips and contain real time pitch information
•Choose from a wide variety of scales and chords to assign to the playing surface with easy customization
•Choose to display names of notes or intervals to help guide you
•Performance controls include octave shift, pitch lock on/off, record to delay buffer on/off, infinity delay setting on/off, and multi-function slider
•Unison detuning effect with separate pan control for that classic analog thickness
•FM (Frequency Modulation) synthesis can be assigned to the vertical grid or accelerometer
•Wave Sync Synthesis (WSS) can also be assigned to the vertical grid or accelerometer
•Adjustable note attack and release time
•Infinite-Track Loop (ITL) recorder features user-selectable measures and beats.
