The Pattern Mode is the essential feature in the context of musical and performative application. Therefore you have a simple, editable list of Patterns on the main screen. The Pattern Mode enables to build scenes with several instruments and samplers, each with different main settings like tempo, pitch, main EQ, sequence length as well as motion tracking connections. The additional Visual Interface gives you the possibility to design a whole new look for each scene. The visual corresponds to the sound as well as the motion interaction and main FX. In relation to your device it supports up to 3 display outputs with separate content. Soniface Pro combines a modular concept with spatial audio abilities. This offers new approaches to audiovisual performances and interactive installations. The desktop version supports surround sound output up to 7.1 speakers. The objects on the display become positioned within the XY field of the surround room. Soniface Pro does not refer to pro audio but allows you to use all facets of the software. As reference, you will find videos and music of our works (Ectoplastic) which were completely made with it, like multichannel audiovisual performances as will as our musical releases. There are a lot of pro features on our list and we are looking forward for the next update. Don't hesitate to write us your questions and feedback which we will answer personally. Information We do our best to avoid bugs, often enough they drive us crazy or were disappointed when a moment was lost. But it has to come out sometime and after the update before the update. So feel free to write us bugs and problems, definitely also if you made a song or video. Soniface needs access to the camera for motion tracking, the microphone for audio recording, the local files to save projects and recordings, and the network for Ableton Link. Much more content, terms of use, credits and FAQ are in the app's guide and can be found in the app's start-up menu. About Mazetools Empowering creativity, democratizing musical expression and making it inclusive - how does that work? These are the questions that keep us busy. Soniface is a first step in the process and provides important points of contact through the multitouch-based principle & motion tracking input. But we want to go further - with you and the community. We wish you a great time with Soniface Pro, Stephan & Jakob ## Key features - Unlimited instruments and patterns - Airplay Visual Mode with HDMI output - Unlimited internal audio recording - Motion interface for gesture control - Cross-platform project file compatibility - Generative visual synthesizer - MIDI input and output ## Recent user reviews (10 of 22) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/mazetools-soniface-pro/id1232018647/reviews.md ### 5/5 — It’s amazing *2025-07-12, version 4.0.4* Nothing else like it (or the Mutant app) a bit like learning a new language, a bit like a living thing… perfect use of iPad touch and interaction. ### 2/5 — Unintuitive and confusing *2024-01-12, version 4.0.3* I use a lot of different music production and creation apps and systems. I love the idea behind this app, but it is so complex and confusing that I was stumped for the first 2 hours I spent trying to figure out how to much make some sounds! I was totally lost most of the time, even after reading the whole guide. The guide is almost useless. While it contains a lot of information about what each feature does, it never really tells you how to start from the beginning, what to tap and where. With almost every screen there are things that appear to be something you can or should tap or drag around but nothing happens. Then other things on the screen suddenly spring to life, but you don’t know why and what it actually does. What it most needs is a getting-started section that says: do this, then that. The idea is cool, but it is far from an intuitive and visual way of making music. It was so confusing that I never got beyond accidentally making some noises, but I’m still not sure how I did it. ### 5/5 — Worth the investment *2023-12-08, version 4.0* This is a deep and ingenious audiovisual ecosystem and for that reason it really cries out for a proper manual. But if you invest the time, the in-app guide and help files will reveal a whole new way of (literally) looking at music. ### 5/5 — YES YES YES IT HAS BEEN DONE! *2023-11-01, version 4.0* Big ups to the developers U MADE IT HAPPEN!, Audiobus in effect, beautiful changes to the workflow.. so psyched this was sitting on my back burner fo ages, understanding the beauty of it but unable, for a number of reason, to incorporate it into my workflow. NOW it’s never coming off my pad. MUTANT is killer too, especially now, with its integration as well, a must buy. Screw ur wig on tight this thing gonna knock ur socks off. a work of Art. Congrats and well done to the team that made this happen ### 5/5 — Great app! *2021-09-14* Great app! Inspiring soundscapes! Thanks for the update! It’s working ok again on Air 1. 😁 **Developer response:** Thanks! ### 4/5 — Really excellent creation tool, however…. *2021-08-05, version 3.01* I really enjoy the creative possibilities that this app presents, the interface is lovely(the new Hyperface stuff is excellent)and it sounds great…but the developers really need to make this an AU(or IAA) so we can use it in AUM and Cabasis etc. and they need to make it easy to import our own samples into the app. 5 stars if they add this stuff. ### 5/5 — Brilliant. *2020-12-31, version 2.51* Get this app! Then get their other apps as well. ### 5/5 — Love it *2020-11-17, version 2.51* Please update this wonderful app! It has a tendency to crash. ### 3/5 — Great idea, needs polishing. *2020-09-17, version 2.51* The idea and execution is certainly worth a mention. Except the app is not very responsive, crashes a lot and no sound comes through any Bluetooth device. It also needs a better tutorial. Unfortunately, I will have to ask for a refund. I’m on iPad Air 3. ### 4/5 — Nice! *2020-05-25, version 2.51* Just started exploring this unique instrument. Very creative and mind expanding experience. I will give it 5 stars once I can use it inside of AUM. The ability to import WAV fils and my own samples would be a big plus. Also, make this AUV3 and you really got something special. ## Frequently asked questions about Mazetools Soniface Pro ### What is Soniface Pro's price?
