Moodscaper

Very relevant, even in June 2026. Thank you for inventing this, and Touchscaper!

Forgot how easy this is!

You can’t ‘not’ make great sounds with this app. And it’s so easy!

Limited ambient amusement

If you have zero musical ability and just want to play around with dreamy ambient soundscapes, this is an app for you. If you want control over things like sounds or chords or key, then you should just graduate to the sequel to this app called Touchscaper.

Auv3 ? Очень просится

Response from developer

It's a great idea for a feature but I can't say for sure if / when I'll get to it I'm afraid. Sorry about that. -Rob

First in this scaper series, they’re all great

Great as a generative relaxation too, or an inspiring musical instrument anyone can play. Use it alone or with other apps via any inter app audio compatible app. I highly recommend all of the scaper series apps this developer offers. A lot of fun for those who love music.

Ambient generator

Nette „Spielerei“ um Ambient sound Collagen zu erstellen.
Es dauert bis man das Gefühl dafür bek9mmt, was man durch interaktionen wirklich steuern kann.

Ambient Blissfulness

I’ve had this app for quite some time now, a couple of years at least, and I never tire of it. So many times I have run it in the background while working or reading or simply relaxing. As an iOS musician I have also incorporated it into my music making with wonderful results. It is IAA compatible and works with any of the standard iOS DAWs. I use it in Cubasis. Initially, the layout seems rather cryptic but it doesn’t take long to know your way around the user interface. This app is one of those gems I’m very glad I found!

The very best ..

.. apps Mood, Piano & Guitar Scapers if like me you wish to make a sound track to accompany a video.

I can do this whilst the video is playing, no other app that I as a non-musician have found can do this so comprehensively. I can create differing moods to complement the tone and subject of the video easily.

Superficially the Scaper’s may seem to be very simple but a few weeks of playing with them reveals subtleties that are not initially apparent. They are now like an orchestra at my finger tips. Cheers Rob.

PS [edit] A bonus that’s not mentioned in some of the reviews I’ve read is being able to use ALL the Scaper’s in AUM simultaneously if you wish.

PSS Should anyone think that I am being sycophantic, please be informed that I made a Weird Sound Generator and a Benjolin (Google) and used the free offerings from YT before I found Moodscaper. I’d been hoping that I would find something like it since 2016, so there! :-)

Lovely instrument. Review update

Heard back from the dev regarding AudioShare and it reminded me to update my review. I went from 4 stars to 5 stars even though AudioShare is not supported. Using iTunes to transfer my own sounds to Moodscaper is quite simple- albeit a bit clumsy. Still, Moodscaper is a fantastic ambient sound design and performance instrument. Moodscaper also helps me to get new perspectives and ideas about sounds and music I’m working on because I can just load the sounds in and explore. Like playing with audio legos :-)


Very well designed instrument. Lots of potential, particularly with the ability to load my own sounds. And that’s where the major flaw comes in. The inability to share/transfer sounds between apps is a deal breaker for me.
At the very least, the Moodscaper should be compatible with AudioShare.

When I’m using my iPad to do sound design, I have to transfer the completed sound(s) to iTunes on my Mac and then transfer them back to the iPad in order to get the sounds into Moodscaper.

Please make Moodscaper compatible with AudioShare. All of the apps I use for synthesis, sound design and processing are compatible with AudioShare and allow me to quickly transfer my files without using an external machine.

Response from developer

Sorry for the lack of AudioShare support - I will certainly keep this in mind for an update. However, as moodscaper has no built-in recorder, as a workaround, you could use an app like AUM as an IAA host to record the output from moodscaper, and share the captured recording. Any IAA host that supports generators, should work fine. Hope this helps.

Lovely sounds

How rude of the reviewer who gave one star! There’s no pleasing some people. You can make some beautiful sounds with this app or press a button and let it create something different every time on its own. Even if you don’t know how to use it, just press anything randomly and it sounds magical. Great job developer!

IPad mini

Интересное приложение. Добавьте DRUM.

Great app!

I’m loving Moodscaper, you can let it improvise or you can record your own loops. Really inspiring and creative tool!

Great app

Got this app recently along with the piano app. It's very easy to use and even a simpleton like me can use it. Only thing stopping it get 5 ⭐️ from me is no Audiobus support or the ability to record and export. As it is I just leave this and the pianoscaper app running at the same time in the background when I a relaxing. Give me either of the above and it's a 5 ⭐️ app. At least Mixtikl allows you to record and export, but that is far more complicated and fiddly to use. This in my opinion is the better app for it's ease of use and the sound is awesome 👏😎

I am so close to giving it 5 but without either those features I have to drop the score. Please include in a further update. I am gagging to give this the 5 ⭐️

Amended my review a bit. Thank you for the developer for up clearing up the IAA support. Audiobus would just be a bit better if you want to get multiple instruments and at the same time without a DAW. Still a great app and I shall look forward to giving the iaa a go.

Thank you to the developers for the reply and informing me of the IAA. Definitely a way to get me start. I said I'd give it stars if they allowed recording but put in audiobus and I will give it 6. Thanks again to the developers. It's nice to know they support their software and respond to their customers. 5 ⭐️ there 😎👍

Response from developer

Many thanks and glad you're enjoying the app. Sorry about the lack of AudioBus support right now. However, moodscaper does support Apple's Inter-App Audio standard (IAA) so it's possible to record moodscaper's audio in apps that can host IAA generators, such as AUM. No special setup required from the moodscaper side - it should just appear as an IAA source from the host app. Hope this helps.

One of the most enjoyable instruments

This is so much fun, and so forgiving to the player. Everything sounds good on it, but you can truly compose, too.

Awesome newness

If you are looking to make some mellow type of music this is hands down the best app for you to start on

Wonderful musical thingamabob

Worth every penny. Whether in performance or play mode, produces a wondrous array of Ambient melody. Does need Audiobus support though- that would be perfection.

Awesome! Except for one thing.

I absolutely love this app. I only gave it a four star rating because, like others, I wish it had Audiobus 3 support. It's the only thing holding it back!

Genius

Excellent, deep, sound experience. Was amazed to find that having bought this and pianoscaper on my iPad it then loaded to my iPhone for free.
