ShapeStage Morphing AUv3 FX for iOS

video upload by Cem Olcay

"I’ve released my new FX app ShapeStage. It has 4 stages of with drive, character, pitch shifting, time effects, stereo spread, and granular texture generator. You can morph between the stages smoothly with the crossfader at the top. Also, it has 3 LFOs, 2 EGs (MIDI triggered or looping), and an envelope follower. With the mod matrix, you can modulate the stage parameters, stage morph, and mod parameters (LFO rate, EG decay etc) and create complex modulations as well."

NoiseSpace - Noise textures and backgrounds for iOS and Mac. First preview.

video upload by Igor Vasiliev

"This app ditches factory presets! :) Just hit the "Create" button, and you'll get a brand-new preset each time, with unique sound and rich texture. All you need to do is tweak a few parameters to better match your vision.
~
NoiseSpace is an experimental generator based on simplex noise, which is then used in a granular synthesis algorithm. This design allows for the creation of a vast array of diverse waveforms rich in harmonics with a rich low-frequency spectrum. The generator is controlled by just a few simple parameters. Despite its somewhat chaotic and atonal nature, it is highly suitable for generating industrial sound structures, ominous, foreboding noise and backgrounds.

Create haunting and beautiful sounds on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Silicon Macs. Available now on the App Store! Special Halloween sale for a limited time!

“I’ll be Bach.” Stop the presses! Load up the inkwells! For it's the return of one of the first — if not the first — instruments made for iOS: the infamous “pocket theremin” is back.

A lot has changed since those heady days of 2008, and so has Thereminator. Although it is not made of T-1000 grade liquid metal (well...not yet), the all-new Thereminator 2 has evolved into a bona fide touch controlled virtual theremin with ample helpings of tone, expression, versatility, and technology.

And it’s now an AUv3 plugin, too! Using a special adaptation of the MPE protocol, Thereminator 2 can inject its eerie sounds directly into your DAW, whether on your iPhone, iPad or Apple Silicon powered computer.

Whether you have your plan 9 ready, or just lurking in dark shadows, it is a thrill to bring back the app that started it all for us. Thank Y’all for the support, for it’s been an amazing journey!

Jordan Rudess Releases GeoShred Studio

video upload by GeoShred

Press release follows:

Wizdom Music Announces the Release of GeoShred 7 Including GeoShred Studio For Mac Desktop Machines

GeoShred is a new kind of musical instrument, offering fluid expressiveness using a performance surface with "Almost Magic" pitch rounding. This unique performance interface combined with physics-based models of effects and musical instruments, is a powerful tool for musicians. Originally designed for iOS/iPadOS devices, GeoShred is now available as an AUv3 plug-in for desktop DAWs.

"GeoShred has always been about pushing the boundaries of musical expression, and with the introduction of GeoShred Studio as an AUv3 plug-in for macOS, we’re bringing that vision to a whole new audience." - Jordan Rudess President Wizdom Music.

Performers can establish a MIDI/MPE connection between GeoShred on an iOS/iPadOS device and GeoShred Studio on the Mac using GeoShredConnect. This makes it possible to use GeoShred's expressive multi-dimensional control for desktop production workflows. Further, iCloud integration ensures that preset edits are synchronized between the iOS/iPadOS and macOS versions of GeoShred.

Equipped with a built-in guitar physical model and 22 modeled effects, GeoShred Studio offers an impressive array of sonic possibilities. And for those looking to expand their musical palette, an additional 33 physically modeled instruments from around the globe are available as in-app purchases (IAPs). These instruments range from guitars and bowed strings to woodwinds, brass, and traditional Indian and Chinese instruments.

GeoShred Studio is best performed expressively using GeoShred's isomorphic keyboard. For users who don’t own the GeoShred for iOS/iPadOS, the free GeoShred Control MPE controller (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/geoshred-control/id1336247116) is available for use with GeoShred Studio. GeoShred Studio is also compatible with MPE controllers, conventional MIDI controllers, and even breath controllers, offering a wide range of performance options.

GeoShred Studio is free to download, but core functionality requires the purchase of GeoShred Studio Essentials, which includes distinct instruments separate from those in the iOS/iPadOS app, and iOS/iPadOS purchases do not transfer.

Works with MacOS Catalina or greater.

GeoShred, unleash your musical potential!

In celebration of the GeoShred 7 release, we are offering a 25% discount on all iOS/iPadOS and MacOS products, valid until October 10, 2024. Pricing table at moforte.com/pricing

Holon - Multimodal Mobile Music

Holon.ist x Orbit Princess

video upload by Holonic Systems

"The free iPhone app Holon generates synth music in real-time on your device, adapting the sounds to your environment, speed and direction. Holon now supports Apple Watch for even more personalised interactive scores!

Sync the music with your heart rate and try the 10 different compositions included - powered by miRack!

Holon lets you perform improvised electronic music by moving spatially between different locations.

Holon uses iPhone sensors and a GIS data from the Holonic geospatial backend to generate music in real-time based on user movements and environmental context. Holon is a passive, zero-UI app that turns the physical world into an instrument, promoting immersive, embodied interaction that effectively turns audiences into performers.

- Holon also modifies the intensity of the music by reacting to places and certain objects tagged in GIS systems; parks and water features lower the intensity, while transit and retail zones increase intensity. Industrial areas increase musical tension and distortion, alerting to the possibility of danger while also providing sound masking.

- Holon synchronises the tempo of the music with your activity: BPM is calculated from speed when in a vehicle, from step rate when walking, from heart rate if stationary and wearing an Apple Watch.

- For even further musical embodiment, Apple AirPods 3/Pro/Max can be used as head tracking controllers that add fills and modulation to the music. Set them to transparency mode for improved situational awareness and natural acoustic blending.

- For Holon’s GPS features to work correctly, you'll need to be outdoors, in one of the over 1000 supported regions. See coverage and request yours at www.holonic.systems/holon

Holon is a free demo of the Holonic platform for musical mobility. It is based on theories of affective design, physical computing, human geography, music psychology and urban musicology. Holon is available at the Apple AppStore"

New FuncBud Generative MIDI Sequencer for iOS or Apple Silicon

via the developer Cem Olcay:

"I’ve released my new generative sequencer app today - FuncBud. It’s a unique and fun sequencer that uses simple math functions to generate patterns. You can create your own math functions with the function builder. It’s really fun to explore the possibilities, especially if you are interested in math."

Additional details via http://keybudapp.com/funcbud & the AppStore follow.

Make music with math!

Welcome to FuncBud, the generative sequencer that uses simple math functions to create patterns.

Create, chain, and repeat simple math functions to create complex sequences.

A simple x + 1 function would sequence all the notes in the scale in order.

But it gets more interesting when you use different formulas and chain them.


Build your math functions

The function builder lets you create functions using simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division operations, as well as square, square root, sum, and product operations.

You can also use parentheses to prioritize the calculation order.

The newly created function will be saved and accessible in the library across both the standalone app and AUv3 instances.

Function results are saved to the history. Sum and product operations utilize the history to perform calculations on up to 64 values.

∑3 would sum up the last 3 results, ∏3 would take product of the last 3 results.

Define your limits

FuncBud's sequencer generates the notes in the working key and scale, within the defined minimum and maximum octaves.

Min/max octave, key, scale and the root note can be defined on the top of the UI.

The sequencer rate, gate length, gate variety, velocity, velocity variety, and swing parameters can be defined using the slider at the bottom of the UI.

The loop detector can be enabled in the settings menu if you get stuck in a loop due to the nature of the math and want to break it.

Functions can be muted by swiping them to the left, and deleted by swiping them to the right.

Take advantage of the AUv3 Plugin

FuncBud app operates both as a standalone application and as an AUv3 MIDI Plugin.

You can create AU presets and use AU parameters of the AUv3 plugin.

You can control the patterns and all other parameters with AU parameters.

You can also change the parameters or change the patterns with PatternBud."

FuncBud is available in the AppStore here.
