A notable update to the SpaceFields app is coming soon

This update will make it even more convenient to use the SpaceFields live. A new screen with the most important controls, a large area to start / stop the loop recorder and the big recording counter. The sampler can import up to 9 samples, which can be quickly loaded into the loop by tap on the sample cell. Smooth transition to the loaded sample (same as when recording the input signal). Option to save the recorded loop to the sampler and to an external file.

SpaceFields tutorials

A fantastic new Space Ambient Machine from Igor Vasiliev. A truly amazing app, that allows you to create amazing and new ambient sound textures. This video is just an introduction and as some of Igor’s apps some controls will require some explanations that I will cover in the upcoming videos :).

This video covers the following:

- Intro to the app
- Intro to UI and controls
- New type of controls
- Changing presets
- Simulate some scenarios for input sound sources via AUM

I hope you enjoy and do not forget to subscribe.

SpaceFields - Space Ambient Machine

SpaceFields is a loop-based mangler effect to create slowly changing rhythmic sound structures in deep reverb space from any external sources or samples. Great for experimenting and designing ambient and noise backgrounds with rhythmic elements.

>>> Get this app on App Store
Universal app for iOS and Mac (Audio unit)

The principle of the application is quite simple. It is based on a loop recorder with two loops. When one loop is recorded, the second is played back. When the loop recording stops, there is a smooth transition between them. Three separate outputs can playback the recorded loop with different pitches (speeds), each with its own effects and two automation generators. The mix of these outputs is fed to the convolution reverb. The reverb is packed with a set of long and deep sound spaces that create a blurry and ambient sound.

But the main feature of this application is its well designed parameters that make it easy to experiment with a huge number of sound options using any source material from live instruments to synthesized sound. With just two parameters you can add complex rhythmic structures based on Euclidean rhythms, and easy-to-use automation generators with a randomize option to add variations to the sound, allowing you to modify parameters like an LFO or based on a given rhythm. The convolution reverb has advanced options with which you can change and extend the original reverb spaces.

Even using the randomization options, in almost every case, you will get interesting and various soundscapes and textures. With these options it is very easy to create the basis for new unique presets. It only takes a little tweaking of some parameters to get impressive results.

The loop recorder can be started and stopped manually or by input signal, can use fixed length or overwrite the loop while recording, and has the option for crossfade between the end and the beginning of the loop. All this makes it convenient for live use as well as when processing recorded material. As an extended option, you can use a special mode in which the application works as a direct effect, without the loop recorder.

The special mode sampler is designed for quickly load samples and easy control of the application when used it live. This panel contains the input and output controls, essential controls of the loop recorder, and a large area with a recording counter, which is also used to start/stop the recorder. You can assign up to nine samples for fast loading into the loop, as well as save a recorded loop as a sample and to an external file.
