Well

Micro sound is. This idensity is truly spectrally the future music visiting you oh wait us it just behind you or to the left ir right …whatever is ahead is here already !

DIE konkurrenz für aktuelle hardware

nach jahren wiederentdeckt als ich gerade überlegte, mir ein evil pet zuzulegen. im app folder gekramt, n paar controller verknüpft und - kraaassse maschine! unfassbar. dass ich das tool so wenig beachtet hatte, ist schon seltsam. ein monster!

Absolutely love this

I have used this app for many years and always love the sound of what it does.

Six channels is often overkill for the subtlety I am looking for, so I usually only use 1-3 channels.

The sound and MIDI controllability makes this app an essential part of any sound design or studio arsenal

Not real-time function

The explanation claims it is a new real-time software with sampled and live granulation. However, in practice, it only works with pre‑recorded or imported samples and does not support live input via microphone.

Unmatched even in 2025

Superior granular satisfaction.
Touch Control
6 channels
Hosts AU's

My biggest regret in iOS music production, has been sleeping on Apesoft, Amazing Noises incredible offerings.

They have always been next level. I personally believe that spectral/spatial audio is the future of entertainment, like when stereo was first introduced.

Had I understood sooner, I could have been mastered these apps, here I am discovering decade old software that still outperforms the most expensive granular scrubbers.

It's stupidly incredible
