Magma is an audio processor that grabs incoming audio and twists its presence throughout time, blends it with its past self, unravels its most recondite shades and controls its weight in space, creating everything in between dark drones, shimmery textures and weird percussive timbres. At the very crossroad between a micro-looper, a granular engine, a sustainer, and a sound warmer, Magma can squash your sounds with reverb-like, big shaking auras, or sprinkle air and make your lines ethereal. Simply load Magma on your track and give your sounds a new identity. Magma is a sound processor with its very own character. Magic when paired with acoustic sounds, it can transfigure all kind of sources in unexpected ways: it will react differently, according to the input you feed it with. It can either magnify or disintegrate. Magma can be molten lead, screaming metal, frozen wind. You will handle Magma with care, paying attention on how each parameter acts, according to different contexts. Magma will carry your sound around unexplored territories. HOW IT WORKS Magma continuously records the incoming signal in a short buffer, it then plays back the content by blending different moments in time, creating a texture. User can set the density and the persistence of the texture, that can sound as a reverb, an infinite sustain, or a sort of spectral shadow. Several parameters let user sculpt the texture: an EQ section, a Temperature knob (a specifically designed distortion adds a noise-based amplitude modulation on higher values), and a Mid/Side knob to handle its weight in space. GO RAW OR KEEP IT SMOOTH /// The RAW switch disables an envelope follower applied to the input by default. Set it ON for a sharpen sound, or OFF for a smooth texture. MEMORIES AND FROZEN TIME /// Choose how much persitent memories should be, and let Magma blend past with present; enable the freeze toggle for an organic infinite sustain. SPEED /// Set the playback speed of memories to harmonize the present with perfect and odd intervals. SCULPT /// Use the intuitive EQ section to boost/cut hi and low frequencies and get the perfect timbre for your texture. WEIGHT /// We included a classic Mid/Side operator; you’ll love how it can sculpt the texture, giving weight or adding air to it! IN-GUI INFOS /// Enable Infos toggle to get all parameters details always in sight; just hover on a parameter. 2 FLAVOURS /// Dark and light skin. *** Please note: Magma is an Audio Unit extension (AUv3) – it only works in an AUv3 host app like AUM, Drambo, Cubasis, etc... *** ## Key features - Time-based audio blending - Micro-looper and granular engine - Sustainer and sound warmer - EQ and Mid/Side sculpting - Distortion and amplitude modulation - Freeze toggle for infinite sustain ## Recent user reviews (4 of 4) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/magma-sound-as-matter/id6444836522/reviews.md ### 1/5 — Beware, it’s a plus in *2025-04-26* You have to read the entire long description to see it’s a plug in, not a standalone app you can use to process sounds. You need other app to use it as a plu in. Lost 10$. Not happy. ### 5/5 — oh K-Device, what have you done! no one ever even thought on this level of creativity! *2024-08-06* Id like to cojvey my deepest apologies, as its absolutely not possible to describe this food for the gods. Only thing I Know is, this Developer, if continues their endeavours with strong conviction, theyre gonna destroy those fragile mainstream corporate blood sakeeng lichiis, releasing same vsts from before i was even born. We love you!!!!!!! btw, Do you know What K-Device really means, it means "Knocked out- Device". thank you!!!!! ### 5/5 — Good - and different *2023-02-08* I have plenty of apps for manipulating sound signals. I have a particular penchant for echo/reverb units. I have a couple of this developer’s other apps, which are both very good, with the same minimal look. Magma is great. I’ve played around with it and it presents all sorts of possibilities and some quite new ways of morphing your sound. Very good! ### 5/5 — Goosebumps! *2023-02-07* Fantastic app, my new favourite sound shaper! Transformed a lot of my favourite sounds into a whole other dimension ## Frequently asked questions about Magma ### What is Magma used for?
