Circuit Bent Synth On Your iPad

Noisemusick by Fluxama is a universal iOS app based on the original Fluxama circuit board aka the 555 Noisemusick Kit. This app is a collection of THREE controllable synthesizers that generate interesting chaotic sounds. Have fun creating sonic bedlam, exploring weird soundscapes, or use it to GREAT EFFECT in your live performances and recordings. It’s squonky electric FUN for the whole family AND it’s only 0.99 cents.

With Noisemusick you can:

* Choose a sound to match your mood: blue, green, or pink!
* Practice and probe to find interesting interactions of sound!
* Discover weird oscillations!
* Use it as a raw input to other filters and effects!
* Run on an iphone or iPad; it’s a Universal app!

To start making sounds with the Noisemusick app, your body has to complete the circuit between the touch pads. Pressing the pads in different combinations will generate different frequencies and modulations. By lifting a finger or sliding the hold switch you can create rhythmic patterns of noise. Move your fingers to change the resistance between your finger and the pads, which changes the frequency and beating of the tone. On each board the knobs change the quality of the tone in different ways.

This is a Universal app from the Fluxama collective in Providence RI.

Noisemusick is available for $0.99

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.

MegaCurtis Granular Synth For iPhone

Awesome successor to Curtis! We are HUGE fans of Curtis for iPad. Glad to see this optimized version for the iPhone 4.

Completely rewritten for better performance, longer recording time, session recording, polyphony, high-res display and more!

New features:
Control layout adjustments
Grain overlap control
Grain overlap LFO
MIDI input
Portamento
Position slew
Improved grain jitter control
Optional old-school Curtis glide mode setting
MegaCurtis has been completely rewritten for better performance, longer recording time, session recording, polyphony, copy/paste, high-res display and more!

More features:

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

Granular synthesis works by combining many tiny grains of sound from an existing recording, generally creating new sounds with the textural properties of the original.

Granular synthesis allows you to regenerate the recording, playing it forward or backward at any speed, to skip around the recording playing tiny slices of it at random, or to loop a small portion with a varying loop size.

Check out Curtis Heavy, the free original version for a taste and come back here for more!

Please note: MegaCurtis is currently only supported on the iPhone 4 and 4s.

MegaCurtis is available for $4.99 for a limited time.

Randgrid App For iPhone

Randgrid App For iPhone

Randgrid an app for making electronic music. It’s perfect for those who are familiar with analog synthesizers and sequencers.

The interface of Randgrid is based on classic analog synthesizers, drum machines and step sequencers.

You have a very powerful setup at your fingertips with two monophonic virtual analog subtractive synthesizers and fourteen sampled drum parts.

Note that the synthesizers are real and not based on samples, they are calculated in realtime and every parameter change immediately affects the sound generation.

The Randgrid Drum Machine is full of features. Use parameter locks to change it’s parameters for each step in the pattern (the same goes for the synthesizers of course). This lets you build the most dynamic complex beats you ever could dream of. You can alter parameters like panning, volume, flam, start/stop position of the sample (making it possible to play parts of the samples both forward and reverse), or the amount of delay/echo you want on each step in the pattern.

The advanced step sequencer is the heart of Randgrid, it lets you control virtually every aspect of the drums and synthesizers. Use parameter locks to change cutoff, resonance, envelope modulation, panning and many more parameters of the synthesizers for each step in a pattern.

Some of the great features are:

– 2x dual oscillator subtractive synthesizers
– 14x sampled drums
– stereo delay effect
– distortion effect
– Song sequencer
– Multiple patterns
– File manager
– Solo/mute groups
– Pattern randomizer
– Copy/Paste operations
– Parameter locks

Randgrid is NO LONGER AVAILABLE
