Fantastic Unique Sounds

Igor's apps are the most unique sound generators I've ever played with - and I've played a ton in 30 years. Everytime one of his creations pops up it's an instant buy.

Can you hear it? The cries of the planet

Absolutely amazing sounds can be produced with this. I wish I had purchased this sooner, but at least I have it now.

I should have known better by this guy.

He still fails to use the whole screen on the iPhone and he keeps the same font to UI size ratio so all the text is absolutely impossible to read. Lazy bozo is what you are. Never again will I waste my hard earned money on your backwards UI font design. Itโ€™s impossible to use on an iPhone 12. Just a play backwards designed UI with impossible to read font and impossible to use the MORE menu as it canโ€™t be read. And your user is black font on a dark gray background. Incredibly dumb. You want easier to read, not harder dummy. Drooping World IQs and it shows. Sunvox is infinitely more enjoyable.

Another home run

Igorโ€™s apps are. Must if you are I to soundscaping, ambient. There is nothing else to say about this app but WOW!!! Keep it coming please

Love.

Another killer sound design app from one of the best!

I've been using Igor's apps since Synthscaper blew me away with sampled sound manipulation, destruction, and redevelopment. Each one has its own niche area within this overall area of audio and music technology, and this one is no different. It's got a bit of a learning curve, and as with Beatcutter (still my favorite iOS audio app), you'll want to have its output piped into a recorder so you don't miss anything. But, it's much simpler than Beatcutter to get your head wrapped around.

To begin with, pull up a few faders, and then explore the FX sends/returns and built-in FX suite. This app can make a boring old flanger effect sound like noise-raindrops falling randomly (or not) on a tightly tuned drumhead made of water, that is turning to steam. And I love the geiger counter LFO (hint - it rarely sounds like a geiger counter).

This will be another great tool for sound designers and noise-rockers. But it can also be used to generate noisy parts of synth pads and textures. Back in the day (80's), we used long tape loops made with microphone stands placed several feet away from the recorder so we could get many feet of tape in a loop, and use recordings of single sine waves fed into the channels, then fed-back into each other via the aux sends/returns. These simple tones would then turn into crazy noise-scapes. With this app, you can do that, plus a million different options and FX that can be recirculated through the app. Another fantastic app!!

Needs a couple things to be 5 stars

I own every app by Igor and SoundScaper is still the best one imo.

NoInputMixer needs the ability to change visible controls when in single channel view. My other two wishlist items would be some kind of matrix view to see what is connected to where, and two would be the ability to record and see automation. A great start though!

Nothing like it

This dev continues to makes the most unique apps for iOS music creation. This is likely the best pure noisemaker in the store. Looking forward to creating with this for a long time. Ty Igor

Feedback on feedback

This app is an instant hit with iOS music experimentalists. Despite the complex looking interface, itโ€™s easy to use and produces evolving and pleasingly unpredictable results. The recent YouTube tutorials (esp Gavinksiโ€™s) are worth watching to help find your way in. The interest lies in making slight adjustments to a closed system and listening to the significant changes to the output sound.

Let the imagination run . . . cos' this thing rocks.

I was on the beta program for this app and have bee using it for a couple of weeks before it was released. Like all of the Dev's previous apps, they allow you to explore the more esoteric sonic gardens, normal experimental synths might sail past.

Within a few minutes I was tweaking it here and there and finding interesting soundscapes, but just as easily I lost them as well. I quickly learnt by experimentation, and found that the app requires subtly and finesse, but when you find that balance, it rewards you with new and interesting soundscapes.

I have to say that on the surface this feels like the Dev's previous apps, but dig a little down into it and something new starts to shine thru. For instance, when I've been exploring my favourite app Synthscaper, I've kind of known what to expect when you ramp up one of the LFO's, but with NoInputMixer you have to wing it and feel the sound evolve. Remember, as its dealing with feedback loops, too little and you get no change, whilst too much and it blows out, and for me this just reinforces the ethic of slowing down.

But this thing really comes into it's own when you put it as the instrument in an AUM chain. Add a slicer app like BeatCutter, along with some OTT reverb using FAC from Alteza and you have a dreamy output that sounds AWESOME.

From my perspective, it's the closest I've come to feeling the sounds evolve. A big hats off to the Dev for such a fun experimental app, and here's to an interesting future.
