SoundScaper old but still good

SoundScaper is an experimental sound mini lab for creating unusual soundscapes, atmospheric textures, drones, glitches and noises based on circuit bending principles.

>>> More about SoundScaper

This was my first experimental app inspired by circuit bending devices and implementing some of these principles. It is well suited for experimenting with creating new and unusual sounds from ordinary samples.

>>> Do you want to know more about Circuit Bending? (From Wikipedia)

Although it does not support audio units, it can work perfectly as an Inter-app Audio (IAA) module with any DAWs or hosts. And what's important, this app still works with minimum iOS 10, so you can use it on your older iPads where not many music apps still work.



Great new demo of SoundScaper from the channel The Sound Test Room.




Here's a great collection of use SoundScaper from Bill T Miller of Orgy Of Noise.





SoundScaper and BeatCutter just made for each other :)

Did you know that the SoundScaper app has its own hardware prototype? Hardware DIY prototype of SoundScaper.

And this device also great with other apps.

BeatCutter app (iOS/macOS) updated to version 1.9

This update adds three new datasets that are great for slicing long, smoothly changing multi-timbral samples or external sources. Datasets are used to set specific parameter values when using a template.


Also: Fixed an issue where files added from other apps were not saved in presets. Fixed problem with starting playback in some DAWs (particularly GarageBand). Updated description and fixed some minor bugs.



BeatCutter app on iPad slicing eight simple melodic loops to chaotic ambient by using new dataset "Slow immersion" to the rhythm of GarageBand drum machine.
