HyperSpace 3D Synthesizer App

The makers of some of our most favorite apps (MegaCurtis and Curtis Heavy) bring you HyperSpace. This is a waveform-sculpting 3-D oscilloscope synth.

HyperSpace uses a unique algorithm to generate endless mesmerizing images from sound. It works similarly to a harmonograph, but uses its 3 voice oscillators instead of pendulums to create images. Each oscillator is mapped to a dimension in 3-D space. Playing a single note creates a wave, like on an ordinary oscilloscope. Playing two notes at once creates a plane as with the harmonograph, and playing a three note chord creates a volume.

There are two oscillators to crossfade between. These can be set to standard shapes as with older synths, but HyperSpace also lets you sculpt the waves with touch! Changing the wave shapes of course alters the sound, but it also alters the generated imagery. The variety of imagery generated with this simple algorithm is truly astonishing.

HINT: check out the Application Settings for some rendering options: color/mono, trails on/off.

Features:
• Selectable keyboard scales for easier jams
• Fat keys option for fat fingers
• Three voice polyphony
• Two LFO modulators
• Lowpass filter effect
• Echo effect
• Audio Copy
• iTunes file sharing
• Works on iPad and iPhone 4s/4/3GS

HyperSpace 3D Synthesizer is only $0.99

Free Landwhale App For iPhone

@holdernessmedia has announced this free app for remixing tunes by Electronic music artist Landwhale. The UI is based on their Waviary app.

The Landwhale app features introspective, atmospheric electronic music that spans genres from 80s synth-pop to contemporary dub influenced electronica. Vocal samples are twisted into deep, haunting tones that blend seamlessly with lush, moody soundscapes.

The music is simultaneously ambient and beat-oriented, merging other-worldly textures and dense rhythmic patterns in a style that recalls Aphex Twin, Radiohead and Burial.

This is a universal app. Also works on iPad.

THIS APP IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE

Richard Devine Sounds For Animoog

Richard Devine Sounds For Animoog

Sound designer and recording artist Richard Devine has produced a fresh new set of sounds for Moog’s Animoog iOS Synthesizer.

NOTE: You must update to the latest version of Animoog in order to purchase the Devine Expansion Pack

From ethereal lead sounds to sci-fi insanity, the Devine expansion pack takes total advantage of Animoog’s uniquely expressive keyboard, modulation and timbre array.

The Devine Expansion Pack includes 32 original presets handcrafted by Richard Devine himself. Also included are 43 new Timbres nearly doubling Animoog’s sonic vocabulary.

Richard Devines inspiration for creating The Devine Expansion Pack

“I have been a fan of Animoog since the day it was launched. Animoog’s ability to mix and match classic analogue waveforms and also digital waveforms is amazing!

Being able to sweep, automate, and control them within the Anisotropic Synth Engine is what makes it such an expressive tool for creating new sounds.

With the Devine Expansion Pack, I wanted to develop a sound set that took full advantage of all Animoog’s features.

Something that was unique and could be played musically or controlled chaotically.

The ultimate goal was to create a set of futuristic synth sounds that inspire new ideas and new music.

I hope you all enjoy it,

Richard Devine

Each Expansion Pack for Animoog contains powerful presets that inspire creativity as well as new timbres for creating sounds completely unique to you!

Sascha made this song using the recently released Devine Expansion Pack for Animoog exclusively for Moog. This is the process by which he composed this song, in his own words:

ALL of the Synth sounds you hear are from the Devine Expansion Pack presets via Animoog.

The only non Moog elements are a sampled Kick, Snare, Hi Hat and a small String and Brass sample.The goal: *Only* use Devine Expansion Pack sounds in Animoog sounds and write something musical, like I would in the real world.

Animoog is available for $29.99 iPad and $9.99 iPhone
