Workflow: I LOVE SpaceFields and I love what came out of this session. Here's a brief description of the procedure.
I made some drums using an unreleased app I cannot yet mention, added some kick drum using Bleass Sidekick and put the whole thing through an instance of SpaceFields, still keeping in some dry signal, with reverb turned down but modulating pitch etc to create something more complex and trippy.
I used the open beta of Radio Audio Unit - found some kind of Jamaican spoken word station and sampled some of this into another instance of SpaceFields. With reverb and totally wet, to get max trippiness. I played a bit of VTines (beautiful modeled Rhodes) into another SpaceFields. Everything except the drums went through BitJuggler for bitcrushing. I used Rum by Klevgrand on everything but the drums. FAC Medusa was used for on the fly compression and saturation of lows and highs.
SpaceFields is a mangler effect for creating slowly changing rhythmic sound structures in a deep reverb space from any external signal. Great for experimenting and designing ambient and noise backgrounds with rhythmic elements. >>> More about this app
SpaceFields can be used as an Instrument or Effects plugin in DAWs and hosts on iOS and macOS (AUv3).
Added a panel for quickly selecting a preset, which opens by double tap on the preset name area at the top of the screen.
Samples imported or stored in the sampler cells are available through the "App" - "Files" panel, and you can save them to any other directory when using the SpaceFields as a plugin on iOS and macOS.
Added fullscreen mode when using the plugin with GarageBand (iOS).
Fixed an issue with using Bluetooth audio devices.

Added a panel for quickly selecting a preset, which opens by double tap on the preset name area at the bottom of the screen.
Files recorded in standalone on iOS and macOS are available through the "App" - "Files" panel, and you can save them to any other directory.
In the MIDI control panel, double tap to cell resets the assigned control.
Added fullscreen mode when using the plugin with GarageBand (iOS).
Several minor bugs were fixed.
Brief demo of how to use BeatCutter with an external processing app on the second channel in audio unit host app. Original track performed by Hubert-Jan Hubeek, https://xofoon.nl
BeatCutter 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.
Saxophone improvisation with BeatCutter & SpaceFields apps (iOS, macOS, AUv3).
Bass clarinet and Soprano saxophone by Hubert-Jan Hubeek, a saxophone or multi reed instrumentalist from Amsterdam, http://xofoon.nl
The background and abstractions were generated from the original saxophone and clarinet track by BeatCutter app and also partially processed by SpaceFields app with using external impulse response (IR) file for natural space reverberation.

This update makes BeatCutter a truly universal iOS and macOS application. It can work on iPhone and iPad as well as Mac / MacBook with M1 chip (and later). On macOS the BeatCutter can works both as a standalone application and as an Audio unit with DAWs and audio unit hosts like Ableton Live, Logic Pro, GarageBand, MainStage, Cockos Reaper, Plogue Bidule, Hosting AU, and other hosts that support AUv3 plugins. All application features are available on iOS and macOS, including MIDI support (with a midi learn option), audio unit parameters and importing samples from any directory on device.
Also this update makes it possible to use the BeatCutter in DAWs and hosts as an instrument or effect plugin.

A series of very detailed tutorials on the VintageRack application from the channel "SoundForMore Tutorials". Will be updated as new episodes are released.
VintageRack is a minimalistic and convenient multi-effect application that contains modules realistically simulating notable retro gear from the early digital age with their natural lo-fi and warm aesthetics. 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. >>> More about this app
VintageRack 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.
This application has a clean and intuitive user interface with a well-considered structure. The signal path is split into seven slots: the first for input control, the last for output, and five customizable effect modules in between. Each module features a master fader for adjusting effect presence and a mute button for smooth toggling. These parameters can be easily assigned to MIDI controls right from the main screen, improving both workflow and productivity.
Smooth transitions between presets and on-screen pads for quickly switching presets that can be easily assigned to MIDI controls allow flexible effect selection during live performances or studio recordings.
Another great feature of VintageRack is the ability to set a lower bit depth of processed signal, typical for early digital devices, both for the entire path and for individual modules. As with these devices, this application models pre- and post-processing of the analog signal both before and after the digital circuits with the addition of companders, emphasis and filters, which makes the sound similar to the real devices.
Effect modules:
Analog modeled compressor.
Three band equalizer typical for mixing consoles.
Classic and reverse delays with modulation feature.
Two Chorus modules are precise emulations of known devices.
Two modules of Flanger with different options and tones.
Two modules of Phaser with various sound character.
Filter module controlled by LFO or envelope generator.
Faithful emulation of classic Wah effects with added automation.
Combined effect of Tremolo and Vibrato with separate rate.
Ring modulator with additional modulation of carrier.
Three types of Fuzz with modulated filters.
Emulation of one of the early digital reverbs.
Vintage exciter with bass enhancer.
Spring reverb with tube preamp.
Advanced formant filter with voice synth mode.
Input slot contains Noise gate and Automatic gain control.
Output slot contains tape-style saturation and three types of tonestacks.
