Spacelab Synthesizer For iPad

Spacelab Monophonic Synthesiver for iPad V 1.1 by Iglesia Intermedia – Waaaaay cool synth by the makers of MiniMash. Glad to see something from them. The UI design is very intuitive. There is no other synth like this. What really makes it stand out are the various layouts for playing it. It has four ways to play: keyboard, graph, guitar, and wind controller. Underneath those interfaces is a fully programmable subtractive synth with oscillators, filters, envelopes, effects, FM, presets, an arpeggiator, full MIDI control, and much more.

What’s New in Version 1.0.3

-Fix crash on saving presets
-Manually rotate orientation
-Creates virtual MIDI port for intra-app communication
-Optional run audio while in background (for use with iOS sequencers)

You get two oscillators and both can sync to BPM! Also get an arpeggiator, tap tempo, Bit Crusher, FM, gestures such as tilt, and X/Y pad.

Seems like there are still a few glitches with this app. I noticed some clicking/interrupted tones. The X/Y pad could be a bit smoother. I didn’t like swiping to select the different layouts. I would prefer that to be a simple button.

This is a universal app so it’s also works great on an iPhone.

Things I would like to see in future updates: a poly version, a step sequencer, strum mode for guitar, different tunings for guitar, normal pitch bend wheel or slider, modulation wheel or slider.

Spacelab is available for $0.99

Akai MPC2000 App For iPad

Akai MPC2000 App For iPad

Retronymns is working together with Akai to bring an authentic MPC2000 app to their app Tabletop. It will run within the app along with many other useful virtual instruments.

Here is what they said, “The MPC on iPad is going to be a blast with classic MPC beat making features, sweet effects, and a killer sampling workflow, and now you’ll be able to work this legendary device into your Tabletop sessions! Possibly the best part is how it works: owners of the stand alone MPC app will automatically unlock the MPC device in Tabletop for free — no need to purchase it twice!”

Additionally they have partnered up with iZotope to bring a suite of real-time vocal processing tools to future versions of the Tabletop app.

“By partnering with iZotope, we’ll be able to offer Tabletop users the distinctive pitch-shifting vocal effects heard in so many popular songs. Use them to polish & perfect your tracks, or push the envelope and pitch-shift your live vocals to somewhere entirely new. No matter how you choose to use the iZotope tools, you’ll benefit from the same ease of use and modular design that makes all Tabletop devices work so well together.”

These features are coming soon. My guess is they will be in app purchase as additional kit but I hope they are including in the initial price.

Tabletop is available for $9.99

Generative Ambient Sound Generator

Create beautiful ambient music on your iOS device with Circuli, another cool generative app by conceptualized and developed by Batuhan Bozkurt (creator of the highly acclaimed instrument Otomata which is enjoyed by millions of people to date).

Tap the screen, enjoy the sounds and have fun!

For the curious:

* Circles grow at a constant rate.

* No two circle can overlap.

* Bigger circle pushes and shrinks smaller circle when in contact.

* A circle “pops” and makes a sound when its boundary intersects with the center of another circle.

* The pitch of the sound is determined by the position of the circle on the background. Bigger the hole, higher the pitch.

* The envelope of the produced sound is determined by a number of parameters including final circle size and time of interaction between two involved circles.

Circuli is available for $0.99
