A very big Kap to Never be normalConcept: Modular Synthesizer with built in Sequencer First impressions: Sound quality: Really Great! Audio Processing: Great too! Features: a lot of modules, Fx. Custom Keyboard layout, real sequencer... UI: it seems to be easy to understand and very well think. No wires to plug... I am not scared! App Store description: the queuing synthesizer for iPad. SynthQ has been designed from the ground up with the touchscreen interface in mind. SynthQ is a subtractive synthesizer with a customizable interface. A unique module queuing system, resizable multi-octave keyboard, and intuitive cable-based modulation controls offer a truly dynamic music-making experience for iOS. Each part of the synth is separated into units called modules. Each module snaps into place along a scrollable surface above the keyboard. Control the number of modules shown on the screen at any time. Control which modules appear for each sound. Tap a button on the module menu to launch a module and add it to the queue. Drag a module up and release to remove it from the queue. Drag a module down to move it within the queue. Add variability to your sound by connecting different modules using virtual cables. Alter the sound with synthQ's movable keys. SynthQ provides an intuitive and engaging way to get started creating your own sounds, and is ideal for production, performance and music education environments. Full feature list: MODULES: —three oscillators — sine, triangle, saw, square, pulse and resonant noise waves —three adsrs — amp, filter and modulation envelopes —filter with lowpass, hipass, bandpass, band-reject and peak filter modes —glide —frequency modulation oscillator —ring modulation oscillator —eight modulation bays with virtual cables enable interactions between modules —three tempo-syncable LFOs with sine, triangle, saw, reverse saw, square, random curve and random step waves —two XY matrix pads —XY keys module turns the keyboard's movable keys into modulation sources —sequencer module with Ableton Link support and built-in arpeggiator mode —vocoder using microphone or Inter-App Audio Effect input —two FX slots with chorus, flanger, phaser, reverb, tremolo, distortion, delay and bitcrush —analog simulation with soft clipping and random pitch wavering —midi module with pitch bender, modwheel and velocity —master volume control INTERFACE: —multi-octave resizable keyboard with 4-voice polyphonic, monophonic and legato modes —optional "sticky keys" mode locks each key to your finger after being pressed —when used as a modulation source, sound can be altered by moving the keys in different directions —unique rearrangeable module queuing area defines which controls are present per preset —fully featured preset menu system with options to share and import via e-mail or iTunes File Sharing —import presets directly from iOS mail by tapping and holding the attachment and pressing "Open in synthQ" —functional graphic design and layout eliminates screen switching by keeping the control modules and keyboard in constant view OTHER FEATURES: —Audiobus 3 support with Inter-App Audio —A=432Hz, A=440Hz and A=444Hz tuning modes —44100k Hz, 32000 Hz and 22050 Hz sampling rate modes —MIDI input and output per channel —basic recording feature to save, play, loop, and share recordings —import .WAV files from iTunes File Sharing for playback —parallax motion effects Follow @synthQ on Twitter for latest announcements and free preset packs, updated regularly!

A very big Kap to Sonicreef LLCConcept: Loops Station with 2 Decks First impressions: Sound quality: Great ( I guess that we can import our own sample) Audio Processing: Great too Features: It looks to have all the things we need: Reverb, Delay, 3 or 2 Fx slots more with expression Pads, Play mode, Midi, Ableton Link... UI: Very very easy to understand. App Store description: Looptunes is the next generation of beat making tools that allows you to create loop sessions on the fly. These sessions can then be manipulated and shaped with a multitude of parameters, ALL LIVE! Whether you are a professional musician who is looking for inspiration, an instrumentalist who wants to play along with a loop session, a DJ who wants to quickly create beats from scratch, or a person wanting to interactively make music that sounds good, Looptunes is the perfect tool for you. features at a glance: - song decks, to play itunes songs or NI stem files synchronized to your loops - choose from an ever growing loop library - each loop session can contain up to 16 simultaneous loops. - all loops play synchronized - you can have two sessions playing at the same time, and crossfade between them. - each session has XY effects pads to give your loops a different life. You can choose from a list of effects including filter, delay, stutter, and others - each loop has a multi mode zero delay feedback filter (LP/BP/HP), a filter LFO, distortion, volume, pitch, pan controls. - each session has configurable delay, reverb, and eq - audiobus - ableton link - midi controller support - audiopaste support - loop import via iTunes - channel filters - midi clock send - easy controller mapping with midi learn - launchpad and livid base controller support - 3 new effects (Stutter, Degrade, and Tape stop) - Audioshare - Ableton Live Export - Audio recording/resampling What's New- bug fixes M08 is now Audio Units compatible. The IAA version comes now with separate tracks. This is also very cool! The best Tr808 from the Apps Store! I have updated my rating too... A Killer App, a Must Have! Tap to check out the review here
Review by Ed What's New- AUv3 support
- Individual IAA outs for each channel - WAV recording type - Channel Edit Mode, including: -- Randomise the steps added to the selected channel -- Copy + Paste steps to different bars within the same pad or between different channels -- Nudge the sequence forwards or backwards -- Clear the step data on the selected channel -- Undo - Improved Step Automation Mode, including: -- Randomise the selected parameter edits across the sequence -- Clear the selected parameter edit across all steps -- Manually adjust parameters per step (as previously on Step Edit mode) -- Clear the selected parameter edit across the selected step -- Undo - New solo and mute modes - Tap the grid to change the visible steps (iPad only) - You can now add steps by dragging your finger across the sequencer - Hi Hat choke is now available on a per pattern basis Sel a Fuzz is awesome and the last update brings it a little closer to excellence... What's is it? A Noise generator, or a Drone Machine. A distortion too. You can use it as a plugins to shape the signal of an incoming Audio source. (IAA and Audiobus or the built in microphone) To generate the signal of the Noise generator, we have a VCF a Band Pass. For the Drone, 4 Oscillators (Saw, Sinusoïdale, Triangle and Square) but you can also drag the waveforms for each oscillator in the Oscillators Table located in the settings window. You can order the polyphony order or randomise it for each child oscillator. To shape the signal, a 10 Band equalizer, a Low Pass, and the Distortion. I forgot something... Self a Fuzz also as a randomizer effects... All the parameters can be randomised. It's awesome... All knobs and buttons come with 3 randomisers switch. These switch allows you to set the range a of the associated parameters... Also and this is really awesome, You can controller the VCF and Band Pass frequency with MIDI or the built in keyboard. Self a Fuzz can record your performances and share them via Audio Share. To conclude Self a Fuzz is really awesome and very very easy to use of,Ce you have understand how it works. As usual, you have the tutorial below, but this time I also added 5 examples to help you to understand how it works. A Killer App! A Must Have!
PS Below, a message from the developer. (Deregulator, ZhSh, 3oomph, and Self a Fuzz) "Dear musicians, today versions of my apps have buggy sound on iPhones with default sample-rate 48000. I hope to bring fixes asap, but this may be late or impossible. And take care for your hardware and meatware :)" Savelii Review by Ed Examples1) As a Noise generator: |
