SoundScaper

This thing is amazing, so concise yet with so many opportunities to manipulate and experiment with sound. The interface looks intimidating at first but starts to make sense pretty quickly, and has a very intuitive feel once you get your head into it. Love it, definitely worth the money.

This was great to begin with, totally unexpected but awesome update. This creates stuff impossible elsewhere. Love it. Review updated again with latest morphing update, still 5 stars!

This app is extraordinary and very deep, but the lack of a way to export the sounds to another app or DAW makes it close to useless. I eagerly await the chance to use some of these mindbending sounds in Beatmaker 2, for example. Even so, I've spent hours with this and Fieldscaper, they are powerful sound tools.

The circuit bending functionality is extraordinary for sound design. The interface is well thought out. My hat is off.

This app is absolutely brilliant. I’ve worked with synthesisers and computer music for decades, and this app in an iPad creates moving audio environments easily, and with great control. For sound explorers, I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

It’s esoteric in design and you will need to understand how it works. At first it’s like “does this just make wind sounds?” No, load up the various demos and learn how to use it. I am using this to generate wild background sounds for my electronic music project. It’s like it was tailor made to do that, and in a way it’s genius. If you’re not going to learn it, don’t get it.

The amount of things one can do with this app will twist your brain! Super powerful, super complex at times! However deep one wants to dig and explore is only limited by ones own creativity. I still haven’t master this app, but it is so much fun and twisted! I own FieldScaper as well! This developer has put out some top notch stuff!!

I won’t say this app is perfect or even comprehensible for everyone, however if you do read the manual the developer included in the app, and use it to experiment and learn what this app is truly capable of doing to both short/simple sounds and long/complex recordings or ambient mixes, you will be endlessly entertained, thoroughly surprised, and possibly (like me) inspired by multiple idea types. This is a very in-depth sound editor, which introduces users to sequences run by algorithms that control or filter audio output. Got me learning about circuit-bending and binary code, but as someone who admires patterns and textures in general regardless, I have fun whether goal oriented or not every time I open this app. I would only love to see AUv3 be supported in the future, but the app runs well through AUM as IAA so the main difference would just be convenience. I can’t think of another app that I’m so quick to pause my music for in order to use. {5 Stars, suggested: AUv3, easier sample import, custom theme color panel, clearer button labels} By the way these are simply ideas, not complaints. Get this app.

what is so hard about adding simple add and delete functions to individual sounds?

Still nothing on the App Store that compares with the sound tapestries and FX you can make with SoundScaper! And it always has been a stable design too.
