Creating samples with SynthScaper app

SynthScaper app on iPad uses for design the samples with real tape saturation on the tube reel-to-reel tape recorder and experimental loudspeaker.








Output from the SynthScaper app was recorded on the tube reel-to-reel tape recorder (single track on the tape Quantegy 632 1/4" on 3,3/4 ips, 9.5 cm/sec) thru external audio interface Focusrite Scarlett 6i6. For control the SynthScaper app was used MIDI keyboard Akai MPK49.

The recorded sound was playback thru special experimental loudspeaker and was recorded on Roland V-Studio 100 by using Sennheiser microphone. Microphone was connected thru mix console.

Low part of the signal below about 600 Hz was recorded on the both channels directly. Mid and High part were processed by the AKG Adr 68k reverb with preset "Large Hall" with the stereo output. It gives interested sound effect with the close and centered base like solid drone and panoramic mid and high.
