Free sounds for Moog Model 15

Producer/synthesist Fabio Ribeiro (aka Remove Silence) has released the Basics & Classics Collection, a free collection of sounds for the Moog Model 15 app for iPad and iPhone. 64 patches to be exact.

This free collection presents classic and famous synth sounds, created using only the original features of the classic Moog Model 15 analog modular synth (without using features that are only available in the app).

The collection not only demonstrates the versatility of the original Model 15, but it also shows how sounds of different classes can be created through subtractive synthesis in a modular synthesizer.

Also included in the collection are some classic patches from keyboard players and bands like Rick Wakeman, Yes, Triumvirat, Rush, OMD, The Prodigy, Camel, Uriah Heep, etc.

The Basics and Classics Collection is a free download. Get it here https://db.tt/ZaJJY47A

Hook is a new music performance, mashup, and DJ app for iPhone and iPad. Arrange and trigger loops on a grid and create dynamic, expressive transitions with the Flux Fader — a multitouch “smart crossfader” that allows you to expressively make transitions between any combination of tracks/cells on the fly. The Flux Fader includes a two-axis control with 9 riser synths, glitch and gate effects, tempo-synced filter sweeps, an EQ, beat drop, tape stop, and filter drop. Combining all these to make transitions is the heart of playing live with Hook. Hook includes a full editor complete with auto transient slicing and waveform editing. Tight integration with AudioCopy makes it easy to drop in your own loops and sounds from other apps.

Real creative power can be found in the integrated sampler — record from mic/line, other apps via inter-app audio, and grab hooks from iTunes and Spotify. Change tempo in real time, and keep all your hooks in sync. Hook is a killer mashup tool with a full mixer, tons of tracks, integrated FX bus, per-cell fx, transpose, time stretching, tuning, timing and trigger settings, and more. Imagine the clip launching capabilities of Ableton Live in a futuristic multitouch environment.

Moebius Lab Sampler Audio Lab For iPad
Author View comments Tags Tags: ,

Moebius Lab

Moebius Lab is a multimorphic sound processor which contains a synth, a varispeed stereo sample player, 9 time domain effects, 6 spectral effects, 7 slots for external audio application, and nearly 200 LFOs that can modulate each parameter. You can move the effects along two chains, and get endless combinations of incredible sounds. ALL the App parameters can be modulated with dedicates LFO (one independent LFO for each parameter!).

To get you started, you have more than 200 ready-mades presets.
Each effect has an in-line help with an explanation of the parameters.

The screen is divided into 3 horizontal areas: the top one contains the sound source (Sample player/External Input/Internal Synth), the middle one contains the Time Domain Effects Chain with four slots for external apps, the bottom one contains the Spectral Effects Chain. The two effect chains are connected in a sort of Moebius Ring: you can route the signal from the Time Domain Chain to the Spectral Chain and vice versa. You can even add up to 7 IAA effects and/or instruments.

Moebius Lab Screen

*** LIST OF EFFECTS (NODES) ***
– EXCITER The Exciter Node distorts the signal below (Saturation) or above (Excitation) a given frequency.
– RINGER A ring modulator with distortion and feedback.
– KLAMPER Clamps the signal with some special features.
– SWARMER A “superchorus”, excellent to create super fat synth sounds (and more). It is composed by a chain of modulated delay lines.
– FILTER The Filter node has two configurations:
Dub: dual low-pass high-pass state variable filter with resonance and overlap factor.
Morph: a triple low-pass/band-pass/high-pass state variable filter with resonance and continuous morphing between the filter types.
– SPLITDEL A dual band delay with feedback.
– REDUKTOR This node can be used to decimate and do other “bad things” to your signal.
– SHIFTER A dual band frequency shifter.
– REVERSO Plays the signal in reverse at regular rate.
– BRICKWALL A spectral brickwall filter.
– GRIP This node samples and holds spectral components of the incoming signal, based on their amplitude.
– BLUR A (noisy) “spectral reverb”. The duration of the spectral components is prolonged (blurred).
– DEGRADER A spectral decimator.
– FLUTTER Flutter is a sort of animated brickwall. Two spectral sinusoidal LFOs define the frequency boundaries. The spectral components which are inside or outside (depending on the Spectral Balance) these boundaries are suppressed.
– PLATEVERB As the name suggests this is a classic Plate Reverb.
– DYNAMICS PROCESSOR You can change the output sound using a compressor and expander effect. This is used to either reduce or expand the dynamic range of an audio signal.

THE SYNTH
The internal synth contains two band limited oscillators, a complex oscillator, a ladder filter, an envelope generator and a sub-bass oscillator.

Other Features:

– Audiobus and Inter-App Audio support (sender and FX)
– Built-In​ Stereo Sampler with varispeed
– Control Manager LFO for Parameters
– Midibus, Virtual Midi and Network: 14 bit NRPN controllers
– File Manager, sharing common audio files via iTunes, Dropbox and AudioCopy
– Snapshots Presets Morphing Pad
