Main features: • Multi-touch based interface with “radar”, “ribbon” and keyboard surfaces • Touch the screen to play a note, move your fingers to change the sound • Semi-generative engine selects the “good notes” for you • Touch movement can control volume and pan for each individual note • Total control over chords, keys and scales (fully chromatic) • Multiple chords can be generated from keys and scales to create “scenes” • Chord "navigator" helps you create inspiring chord progressions • 40 built-in sounds can be combined in 2 layers to create “instruments” • Built-in sounds include samples from moodscaper, pianoscaper, numerous analog synths and guitars • Comes with preset example scenes and instruments • Random instrument generator function with one tap of a button • Hold and orbit modes for hands-free evolving soundscapes • Ribbon style keyboard with touch vibrato • Chord looper with Ableton Link support • Arrangement view for longer / more complex chord progressions • 16 step probability-based sequencer for touch, drums, percussion and synth automation • "jam grid" sequencer view for live performances • Supports file sharing for scenes and instruments • Built-in effects including ping-pong delays, reverb, limiter and EQ • Supports IAA (Inter-App Audio) as a generator • Control other music apps using MIDI out and CCs with optional MPE support There are several demo videos in circulation which should give you a better idea of what touchscaper can do - just search for “touchscaper”. *** Please note that this app is now in maintenance mode / updates for bug fixes only. This is due to the heavy dependency on deprecated technology such as IAA *** ## touchscaper Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple113/v4/b0/cb/ea/b0cbea1f-4c3c-e0d3-f5ce-60d5ca0925cf/pr_source.png/2048x1536.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple113/v4/66/37/bd/6637bd6d-82fa-7ee7-ea40-0c6ad72916a5/pr_source.png/2048x1536.png) - [Screenshot 3](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple123/v4/3c/44/d2/3c44d22a-d511-9132-da7e-859701e3cc73/pr_source.png/2048x1536.png) - [Screenshot 4](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple123/v4/86/f7/59/86f759fb-8240-9d0d-52d1-90c0a21865f3/pr_source.png/2048x1536.png) - [Screenshot 5](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple123/v4/12/85/9f/12859f35-96cc-b24f-3691-864e62019cf9/pr_source.png/2048x1536.png) - [Screenshot 6](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple113/v4/b0/a2/fe/b0a2fe6d-2fe0-8959-1ec7-1037935672f8/pr_source.png/2048x1536.png) - [Screenshot 7](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple123/v4/4f/c3/3e/4fc33e8a-44ba-aa09-de6c-7f9dfd29379f/pr_source.png/2048x1536.png) - [Screenshot 8](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple113/v4/73/f3/94/73f39438-0944-682d-0256-1479fb668aa3/pr_source.png/2048x1536.png) ## touchscaper Rating Breakdown in United States - 5 stars: 144 (93%) - 4 stars: 6 (4%) - 3 stars: 2 (1%) - 2 stars: 1 (1%) - 1 stars: 2 (1%) ## touchscaper Reviews in United States ### ***** "Amazing Instrument" This thing is a true musical instrument and its become my absolute favourite synthesizer instrument on iOS -- EC0SMoNauT, 2024-06-05 ### *---- "I would love to love this." I cannot get any midi connectivity to work. I’ve read the manual and watched a few videos. (One guy kept complaining how he’d never use midi and it’s a hassle but he still got it up and running in no time). I’ve tried old apps and new apps and mpe and Omni and many other options and I never get anything. I’ve enabled link and disabled link. I just don’t know what else to try. I’ve followed videos step by step with the same apps (even the same voices). Maybe my iPad is too new or the app is too old? -- Isthsanoriginalniknam, 2024-01-08 ### ***** "Simply Awesome" As a lifelong guitar/bass player who is now getting into ambient and atmospheric soundscapes , I think this app is amazing. You don’t have to be a musician to use it but if you are you are in for a treat. 10 out of 10 easily for me. -- vcvinny, 2021-10-11 ### ***** "Touchscaper: very nice" Highly recommend -- EL IZQUIERDO, 2021-06-17 ### ***** "Yes" Big time fun! -- Touchy Fealy, 2021-04-30 ### ***** "Pure joy!" This app is such a wonder of a touchscreen app. It has been a long while since a music app utilized the touchscreen in such cool ways. Great sounds inside this app. Amazing probability based sequencers. Full pattern/song capability. Powerful chord building feature with chord sequencing. And now, full midi out support as well. You can use any of your favorite synths and FX, and control them with this amazing touchscreen UI. If you haven’t already, check out the Moodscaper YouTube channel. Rob Jackson is not only an insanely talented developer, but also a great musician/producer as well. -- Lazy Fifi, 2020-06-17 ### ***** "Amazing With One Critical Flaw" Touchscaper is an app I recommend. It generates beautiful sounds and has become a great midi controller. It is one of my go to apps. The developer takes pride in his work to make this a top quality application. Thank you for making this work of engineering and musical art! -- Zorchzorch, 2020-06-06 ### ***** "AUv3 support please !" I love your apps ! Please consider AUv3 midi out . Gracias 🙏🏻 -- Yoyoyuyuyiyioo, 2020-06-05 ### ***** "Keep it up!" Great work. So many updates with new things, I cant keep up. 20/5 stars :) -- GnomeAmplitude, 2020-06-04 ### ***** "Excellent app; suggestion" Love this app and its internal synths. It would really be great if there were panels to tweak oscillators, LFOs, etc. that granularity would make this the best app out there! -- Kurt52, 2020-05-08 [View all touchscaper reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Apps Similar to touchscaper -
