Phase - New Phase Distortion Synth for Pocket Chip - 1st Stand Alone Synth for the Pocket Chip?

Phase sound test (pocket chip)

Published on Nov 16, 2016 humbletune

Remember the PocketC.H.I.P.? It looks like we have our first featured synth for it (unless anyone knows of another). Phase is a phase distortion synthesizer from Erik Sigth, the maker of Shapesynth, Sinusoid, frekvens, strng and other iOS apps.

Details:

"Phase is a phase distortion synthesizer written for the pocket chip. It has two individually tuned oscillators with controls for ring modulation, adsr, 4 - 32 point phase distortion, 8 point pitch adsr and distortion adsr. Further shape the sound with a stereo delay, phaser and chorus. Play the three playmodes: 4 voice polyphonic, monophonic or arpeggio with the pocket chip keyboard or by plugging in a usb midi device.

Sinusoid 4 channel tracker for iOS

humbletune

"Sinusoid is a tracker/sequencer sound machine for iOS inspired by retro 8 bit game consoles. This new version comes with many new improvements of the UI and more and easier to access functionality. Also adding AUv3 support and MIDI out.

App Store: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sinuso...

The amazing video using styrofoam cubes and two projectors was filmed by Perplex On. I love it so much. You should definitely check out his other work, it is always inspiring I think."

"Sinusoid is a tracker/sequencer sound machine inspired by retro 8 bit game consoles. It has 4 sound channels where 3 play tones and 1 plays drums and noise. It has audio parameters like pan, amplitude envelope, vibrato, pitch glide, a resonant filter and second oscillator for ring modulation and fm. Further sculpt the sound with an arpeggiator, delay and bit crusher. Export songs to AIFF and listen to them in the in app music player or share them with other apps. MIDI can be used to control parameters, play and input notes. MIDI out makes it possible to play other synths with sinusoid using Core MIDI, Bluetooth, IAA MIDI or AUv3 MIDI. Connect to other sound apps using Audiobus, Inter App Audio or AUv3.

+++ 3 tone channels: sinusoid, square, triangle, saw, pulse (75%, 50%, 25% or 12.5%)

"shape
Shape is a polyphonic synthesiser allowing the user to draw the shape of the oscillator wave form. The positive side of the oscillation is represented by 32 blocks and the negative side is its mirror, generating all sorts of possible raw retroish sounds. Shape is best experienced with akai synthstation 25.

+++ 16 voices.
+++ Attack.
+++ Decay.
+++ LFO envelop.
+++ Delay.
+++ Akai synthstation 25 compatible.
+++ On screen 25 key stylophone style keyboard.

kinetic
Kinetic is a music instrument inspired by the inside of a maracas, however it is not a percussive instrument. Notes are represented by bouncing balls that make sounds when they hit a wall and gravity is determined by the location of your device, using the accelerometer. Switch between scenes in order to create chord structures.

sinusoid
Sinusoid is an 8 bit music tracker/sequencer sound toy. It has four channels, 2 sine, 1 square and 1 drum channel. Sound controls are attack, decay and tremolo. Other features are copy, paste, save and load. Sinusoid is inspired by retro games and almost forgotten trackers..."

Sphero Orb Controller for Android & iOS

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated. "How much tech can you pack in a 3 inch sphere? Start with a sensor network – multi-axis rate gyro and accelerometer – fused together with the same kind of math that took Apollo to the Moon. Power it with lithium polymer batteries that are inductively recharged through the shell and add a Bluetooth-based command and control data link. Finally, mix in over-the-air firmware updates and internally sandboxed language extensions and you have a true robot that is an intelligent component of a smartphone app-based gaming, learning, and human-machine interaction system. Driving Sphero from the central app is just the start. An open API for iOS and Android invites developers around the world to dive right in…Oh, and Sphero is just fun."

strng - new 16 voice polyphonic karplus-strong synthesizer for iPad & iPhone

Published on May 30, 2015 humbletune

"Strng is a string synthesiser inspired by the karplus-strong alghorithm. The physical modelling starts with a short burst of noise that then guided by a tuned delay buffer and string tension filter, generates plucked string like sounds. No samples are used. Strng is 16 voice polyphonic and can be controlled with an in app 25 key chromatic keyboard or connect prefered midi controller through USB or Wifi. To further shape the sound two post effects are available, a ping-pong stereo delay and two channel resonant filter controlled by two LFOs.

This project included outdoor projections with floating particles in the dark exploring and unveiling the beauty of nature, just like the grains of granular synthesis allow for exploring and unveiling the beauty of sonic landscapes. Next to the video part i created the music using #tardigrain obviously for all the melodic pads and clicks and #hammerhead for the drums."

Lo-fi looping for both beginners and professionals.

+++ Real time.
+++ Bitchrush.
+++ Sample rate (1 Hz - 44100 Hz).

frekvens - linear frequency shifter

Published on Feb 20, 2016 humbletune

"This is my new little project frekvens, a linear frequency shifter and stereo delay for iOS called frekvens. It can be a bit of a quirky app but also quite cool sometimes I think."

iTunes: frekvens - Erik Sigth

"Frekvens is a frequency shifter and delay effect. Unlike a pitch shifter all frequencies are shifted linearly and then fed back into itself using the stereo delay unit. The frequency shifting is achieved with single sideband modulation using a hilbert transform and an infinite impulse response filter for fast computations. Frekvens also comes with a high and low pass filter and a lfo for modulating the delay play head.

- frequency shifter
- high, low pass filter
- stereo delay
- core midi cc input.
- audiobus
- inter app audio
- save, load"
