Unique for iPad - Review - Part #1 - Audio Examples

Published on May 18, 2017 Midiverse - TV

"What's up everybody? Welcome to Midiverse - TV. Today we're going to be checking out a new iOS application from Sugar Bytes, Unique for iPad."

iTunes: Unique for iPad - Sugar Bytes GmbH

There's also an iPhone version: Unique for iPhone - Sugar Bytes GmbH

"Unique was made for fun and vibes: Analogue sound, intense modulation and a killer set of features, delivering an amazing sonic spectrum that’s full of character: Classy sounds, powerful, warm… sometimes gritty.

Each of the 2 oscillators offers a selection of 5 waveforms: sawtooth and pulse waves are here, along with noise, triple saw and triple FM waves. There's also an additional sub-oscillator strapped into the master section for added oomph.

The internal controllers will bring in the dynamics: an LFO and an envelope, there's a recordable XY field & a sequencer. Use these to modulate any knob – a simple long tap will do.

The sound springs to life when it hits the filter section. Needless to say, analogue high-pass, low-pass and band-pass varieties are in place, along with a comb filter.

Standards aside, the actual intention behind this project, the Vowel Filter, also became its outstanding feature: string together two or four vowel formants and play them back in a multitude of ways.

Once you’ve built your sound, there’s tons of sound polish in two chained multi-effect units.

Features

• Sawtooth, Triple Saw, Pulse, Triple FM, Noise with tonal Filter, Sub Sine
• 5 Filters with 5 Modulators each
• Duophone Arpeggiator
• Vowel Filter
• Two Effect Sections
• Ableton Link Kit & AudioBus
• MIDI Learn & Host Automation
• 300 groovy presets by various artists"

What Graindad can do
With up to 64 grains Graindad offers extensive possibilities to define your sound in realtime. With 12 main parameters, quick and powerful access to granular synthesis is provided.

There are basically 2 modulation systems: a classical system with modulators like step sequencers, lfo, & envelope, for familiar access. And a modulation system called Harvester, which provides an easy and playful way to control multiple parameters at once in a visual manner. These two modulation systems can then be mixed for uniquely complex results.

Randomization is a big part of Graindad - varying amounts of randomization can be applied to nearly every parameter. Furthermore, there are dedicated functions to define when randomization should be generated, for example, a transient in your audio signal can trigger a randomizer.

See https://sugar-bytes.de/graindad for additional details.

Sugar Bytes Newsletter: Thesys Consequence and Effectrix Updates

"Thesys and Consequence are now available in brandnew versions, with incredible new features. The new Midi Drag and Drop feature allows to drag the pattern directly into a midi track or to your desktop! That makes work a lot easier and invites to new experiments.

It has never been so easy to create driving chords, rich string ensembles or intelligent, polyrhythmical harmony structures. Thesys will amaze you with the new Gate Time Multiplier and a overhaulted modulation section and the Standalone turns your computer into a Step Sequencing Monster with lots of Midi related features, Audiorecorder and the "Check for Updates" function that will keep all your Sugar Bytes products fresh.

Effectrix 1.4.2 is now available. All known bugs are fixed and a standalone version was added."

http://www.sugar-bytes.de/index.php?lang=en
via brian comnes: "Sugarbytes just upgraded Thesys - for the life of me if you get this VST multi-track sequencer and drive a MIDI/CV engine (or use Silent Way) - it puts an end to any desire for a hardware sequencer of any stripe for CV patterns - unless of course you just want to bow down to the gear lust genie"
