BeatCutter (iOS/Mac) is an experimental multi-channel app for slicing and recombining sound based on rhythm. In the center of the app is a matrix of sample cells with smoothly reconfigurable recording, playback and control busses. This app is best for those who would like to experiment with long sound files or live instruments, creating chaotic constructions and patterns from sliced rhythm-driven samples.
LoopMangler is an innovative multi-effect glitch sequencer designed to manipulate rhythmic samples, external input, or output from other applications. This powerful tool operates based on the effect sequence patterns, allowing you to transform ordinary loops into unusual glitchy and noisy textures.
The new level of control with the latest update featuring Live pads mode. This mode allows you to assign presets and loops to on-screen pads, enabling seamless transitions during live performances or studio sessions. You can also map these pads to a MIDI controller for added convenience. Additionally, dedicated pads for muting effect bars and randomly changing effect envelopes provide the tools to dynamically alter sound patterns in real-time, offering a sophisticated approach to sound design and live performance.
This update also introduces the ability to undo Paste, Clear, Move, and Make operations, enhancing your workflow efficiency, and you can now select effects when generating patterns, providing more creative control. The description has also been updated and several minor bugs have been fixed.
NoInputMixer is an experimental feedback-based musical instrument that models an analog mixing console, designed to create a wide range of amazing, otherworldly electronic sounds by feeding the mixer's output back to its input.
LoopMangler is an innovative multi-effect glitch sequencer designed to manipulate rhythmic samples, external input, or output from other applications. This powerful tool operates based on the effect sequence patterns, allowing you to transform ordinary loops into unusual glitchy and noisy textures.
This updates brings a new feature to set the dry/wet level of the effects and output level on each step of the pattern. Now you can not only apply effects to loops, but also mix the output of effects with the original audio, which significantly expands the possibilities of transforming and filling loops with new sounds created from them, and which will harmoniously fit into the overall rhythmic structure.
GlitchScaper is a rhythm machine with six sound generators, each controlled by a two-layer cycle sequencer, designed to easily create glitchy patterns and scapes.
Innovative multi-effect glitch sequencer designed to manipulate rhythmic samples, external input, or output from other applications. This powerful tool operates based on the effect sequence patterns, allowing you to transform ordinary loops into unusual glitchy and noisy textures.
The LoopMnagler allows you to apply various audio effects (like distortions, filters, noises, delays) to your samples or input audio in a step-by-step manner. Think of it as a timeline where you can place different effects at specific points, creating dynamic and evolving textures.
Key Features:
Advanced Sound Design: With its well-designed user interface and creative features, LoopMangler provides an exciting playground for sonic exploration and sound design.
Random Pattern Generation: Make patterns and individual bars randomly or according to specific rules, offering a quick start or a source of inspiration for your projects.
Multi-Effect Sequencing: Assign up to six distortion and filter effects to each step of the sequencer, providing endless possibilities for sound manipulation.
Envelope Modulation: Each effect is modulated with its own envelope generator, ensuring that every step is unique and dynamic.
Intuitive Editor: The user-friendly editor allows you to easily copy, move, and delete individual cells and bars within the sequencer, making pattern creation a breeze.
Live Pads: Assign presets and loops to on-screen pads and use special pads to dynamically alter sound patterns during live performances or studio sessions.
Real-Time Processing: Process audio in real-time, allowing you to hear the effects of your adjustments immediately.
Flexible Integration: Seamlessly integrates with other audio applications, making it a versatile addition to your music production toolkit.
Whether you’re looking to add subtle textures or completely transform your audio, LoopMangler provides the tools you need to achieve your sonic vision.
LoopMangler is a universal application for iOS and macOS. It can work on iPhone and iPad as well as Mac / MacBook with M1 chip (and later). LoopMangler works on iPhone and iPad standalone, as an Audio Unit or Inter-App Audio module, and supports Audiobus and Ableton Link. On MacOS, LoopMangler can works both as a standalone application and as an Audio unit (AUv3) with DAWs and other hosts that support AUv3 plugins. LoopMangler has a built-in detailed description of all parameters also available as PDF file on the application site.
Stellarvox is a hybrid reverb with an artificial space designer, combining it with algorithmic reflections tail processing, is ideal to creating immersive ambience of deep spaces, lush atmospheric textures or stunning whispering backgrounds in your ambient, electronic, experimental and sound design projects.
This diagram graphically shows some of the types of loops that can be achieved with audio cassettes, along with their corresponding durations.
sound pudding - Making a loop is quite easy. Open the cassette, cut to length, use a tiny bit of clear tape to connect the ends, and wrap it around the tape spools :)

In this demo I tried to give some ambience and depth to the sound of vintage synths by adding a little processing with several effects in the VintageRack app specifically for each track. These are not factory presets. But the parameters of the effects modules in this app are kept to a minimum and represent the most suitable use cases. So it's very easy to choice a line of effects and customize it for any instrument in accordance with the general idea.
The original tracks, without any processing, were recorded from real instruments and were kindly provided by @ohm_studi_ohm, as were images of these instruments from which they were recorded. On his channel you can find original demos of these synths and other interesting instruments and devices.
VintageRack (iOS/Mac) is a minimalistic and convenient multi-effect application that contains modules realistically modeling notable retro gear from the early digital era with their inherent aesthetics and atmosphere. Most of the effects in this application have been inspired and based on the principles of actual hardware from the 70s and 80s, which is great for giving the sound of any instrument the nostalgic and emotional mood of old recordings.
Very detailed review and walkthrough of NoInputMixer app.
NoInputMixer (iOS/Mac) is an experimental feedback-based musical instrument that models an analog mixing console, designed to create a wide range of amazing, otherworldly electronic sounds by feeding the mixer's output back to its input.
You're not supposed to connect the output of a mixing board to its input. “You might see a caution notice in a manual for a mixer if you buy one, saying 'This might cause feedback,'” says Toshimaru Nakamura, one of Japan's leading experimental musicians. “Feedback is probably something sound technicians want to avoid, but it sometimes makes musicians happy and excited. So, I did what the manual says not to do.” Nakamura found that after rerouting the signal back into the mixer, the resulting feedback could be controlled with its knobs and faders. In doing so, Nakamura created the no-input mixing board, an instrument that has been deployed worldwide in experimental circles.
