SoundScaper experimental sound design app for iPad
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , ,

SoundScaper

SoundScaper is an experimental sound mini lab for creating unusual soundscapes, atmospheric textures, drones, glitches and noises based on circuit bending ideas.

With this application you can easy experimented with creation new and unusual sounds from ordinary samples. For sound designers and those interested in creating ambient or experimental electronic music, with filtering and mixing of up to three oscillators, you can create excellent soundscapes, textures and drones for your music or for movie soundtrack or entertainment apps and games.

The oscillators, based on simulating schematics of actual 8 bit lofi sound playback chips, have circuit bending like controls that are ideal for making glitches, noises, crackles and granular sounds. Combined with the filtering and spatial mixing options, you can expand these sounds to deep and atmospheric textures. Finally you can add motion and continuous changes to your sounds via low frequency oscillators which can control the filter and mixer parameters.

Controls based on shorting and modifications of standard circuits of sound generating devices usually give random and unpredictable changes that can be very creative. The emulation of these kinds of controls within SoundScaper are very similar to the circuit bending principle but, additionally, have several advanced functions that are not easy to realize in actual devices. This allows you can make any changes in the virtual circuit on the fly and immediately hear the new sound without fear of the kinds of damage that might occur in a real device as a result of a failed modification.

Here’s what’s new in SoundScaper 1.1:

Advanced control panel for all faders and rotary knobs opened by double tap.
Simple automation of changing values in advanced control panels.
Advanced control panels for filter and delay modules
New delay module with a smooth change of time.
Additional low-pass and high-pass filters for delay.
Phase shift mode for each channel in delay module.
Changing oscillator without closing oscillator control panel.
Mute and Solo mode for each oscillator.
Option to generate oscillator parameters without changing current sample.
Possibility to create new empty scene in the scenes manager.
Additional samples in built-in samples library.
Built-in description updated.
Minor bug fixes.

What’s inside:

● Three sample-based oscillators with circuit bending like controls.
● Three LP, HP, BP filters and two range delay for each oscillator.
● Spatial mixer/reverb with side and distance for each sound source.
● Three low frequency oscillators for automation mixer and filters.
● Possibility to randomly generating parameters for each oscillator.
● Built-in library of natural samples grouped by categories.
● Scenes for storing and loading all operation parameters.

Additional features:

● Possibility to download additional samples in different audio formats.
● Uploading samples thru Web access, audio clipboard, from another app and iTunes.
● Different color schemes available for the user interface.
● Detailed application description.
● Supports Audiobus with “State Saving” feature.
● Inter-App audio compatible.

Requirements:

Third generation of iPad and higher is recommended (especially with Inter-app audio and Audiobus).

Zed Synth Physical Modeling Synthesizer For iPad
Author View comments Tags Tags: , ,

Zed Synth

Zed Synth is easy to learn, with live graphs throughout and built-in help for every knob, but it’s a real powerhouse synth combining virtual analog synthesis with physical modelling. This innovative blend of technologies allows you to create rich and immersive sounds, ranging from bright electronic dance music patches to subtle and expressive solo instruments.

Zed Synth is also a unique audio effect processor: you can route external sounds through the synth and completely transform them: use the microphone and transform your voice, turn drum machines into strummed guitars, or radically transform the sound of any other Audiobus-compatible app!

Over 140 presets covering a wide range of styles provide a great starting point to making your own music. And you can easily share your patches with friends and other IOS musicians.

Key features:

– Wave-Shaping oscillators: inspired by 1950s vacuum-tube technology, 4 parameters allow you to create a vast array of original oscillator shapes which can be modulated in real-time.

– Physical Modelling: a sophisticated resonator can be either struck by a mallet or excited by the synth section (including external audio) with different forms of interaction to simulate blown, bowed or struck models.

– Unique Audio effect: the Zed Synth can process external audio via Audiobus and pass it through its string model. This unique effect can turn unpitched sounds, such as beats, into pitched sounds, akin to what you could do with a vocoder, only more responsively and with a much richer timbre. Using this approach, Zed Synth can radically transform the sound of any other Audiobus-compatible synth on IOS.

– A unique “Spring Box” effect capable of emulating the full 88-string sympathetic resonance of a piano soundboard, or simulating the body resonance of a musical instrument.

– Oscilloscopes throughout the user interface provide clear visual feedback and ease of use.

– Built-in Help system throughout the app to explain each of the modules and all the parameters.

– A Powerful Modulation system makes it incredibly easy to add modulations from a variety of sources to any of the synth’s parameters.

– The Granulator: a different take on the ubiquitous arpeggiator, the granulator can periodically or randomly retrigger the sound, and also vary the pitch. This makes it possible to create rhythmic chorded sounds with a human feel to them, or completely chaotic sounds like raindrops on a tin roof.

– Synth Overview displays the signal path and routing of the various modules, as well as making it easy to jump around sections when editing.

– Effects to further enhance the sound, including a stereo expander to enrich the spatial complexity of the signal.

– iPhone support: Zed Synth has been specially developed to run on both iPhones and iPads. Actual polyphony will depend on the speed of the device and older devices will not be able to recreate a full 88-string piano reverberation effect.

– Patch Sharing: Zed synth makes it easy to import & share patches with friends via e-mail.

– MIDI Learn mode so you can quickly & easily map your MIDI controller’s knobs to the synth’s parameters.

– Audiobus (including presets), Inter-App Audio and Core MIDI.

– 4x Oversampling: this greatly increases the quality of the sound and reduces aliasing at high frequencies. It can be disabled to reduce CPU utilisation.

Headphones, an external controller keyboard and a sustain pedal are highly recommended to get the most out of Zed Synth. Older devices will have reduced polyphony.
