BitWiz

BitWiz Audio Synth translates C-like code expressions into 8-bit generative stereo audio in real-time. The entered code expression is used to calculate each audio frame, also known as “bytebeat” synthesis.

Use the dual multitouch XY-pad or external MIDI control to tweak variables in the expression in real-time. Play BitWiz as a musical instrument or compose algorithmic pieces that evolves by themselves! BitWiz can also include the microphone input for crazy distortion effects!

BitWiz comes bundled with lots of examples, and you can easily add your own codes to the built-in library.
You can also share your codes by e-mail, twitter or facebook, or open them in another application.

You don’t need to learn C to use this app, just play around with the included codes and tweak a number here or there, and strange glitchy variations will appear. You can even let BitWiz generate random codes for you with a swipe.

Digital Dub Siren + SFX GenR8R

Digital Dub Siren + SFX GenR8R

What’s New in Version 1.1
Fixed pitch not working at ultra high setting
Renamed confusing terms :”Echo” is now “Time” and “STOP” is now “REPEAT” to make things clearer.
Time control is smoother

A modern perspective to the dub-siren. Can also be used as a weird sound effect generator or theremin. Using the touch-pad you can control the volume and pitch at the same time. You can draw the envelope and “REPEAT” set to on, you will loop this pattern forever or fading out like an echo with “FADE” turned on. You can sync the patterns by placing and removing finger to the beat of the music. You can choose from three sound sources, modulate with four LFO shapes and adjust the modulation speed and depth. By controlling “TIME”, you give the echo effect by slowing down and lowering the pitch at the same time or vice-versa. You can come up with some interesting sound effects from synth drones to retro computer game noises. Although this has a basic repeat effect, it may still benefit from a reverb unit or an echo chamber as well. We aim to add more effects and sounds with updates.

Digital Dub Siren is available for $0.99
