Epic
One of my favorite nerd apps. Absolutely superb
Another beautifully esoteric app by Igor.
A joy to use, I love it dearly, it being made universale for iPadOS and MacOS is such a nice feature. Thank you!
Outstanding
It takes a minute or two to get what this does, but once you have it sorted out, running through some effects… magic.
Ignore the crybaby
In the other review. I’m using it on an iPhone 14 and it works great. I wish more devs would push to iPhone capabilities and not limit to iPad!
Anyway - this is a sound design dream if you’re into very technical nerdy stuff - if you’re new to making music, you may not be into this but otherwise it’s a gem!

DIY Dentistry
I have now found the app that with careful tweaking can elevate then obliterate any compromised fillings. Used to do these experiments with audio mixers 30+ years ago, but great to now have the ability to fit everything into my pocket and be able to annoy everyone at home, on the bus, on the train, at the office, in the library. And it has presets! Bravo to the developer. 5 star app.

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.
Amazing App
But no sound coming out on my IPad (2015 newest iOS installed) any help?
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. It’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 can’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
Igor’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
Igor
Love.
Great app for creative sound design
Igor has done it again. This app allows both harsh feedback effects as well as subtle sound sculpting. A little tweaking goes a long way 😉
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, it’s easy to use and produces evolving and pleasingly unpredictable results. The recent YouTube tutorials (esp Gavinksi’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.

Outstanding Sound Designers Territory
Today is my first time reviewing an app on the App Store. Experimentation, finding new sounds, and the ambient field of musical expression is where I find myself. So, this app and others from you, Igor, are welcome territory. The Op-Amp “fuzz” quality is particularly pleasing. There is nothing like this app available outside of actual, physical mixers feeding back into each other (and at the potential destruction of said mixers). Thank you Igor, for developing such unique apps. All the best to you and yours! Cheers! 😊

Unique and fascinating for experimentalists
No-input mixing seems to be having a bit of a moment at the moment, what with Cuckoo and other YouTube music influencers giving it a go recently with actual hardware.
Now anyone can experiment with this avant garde sound technique, using an audio mixer itself as an instrument, either on its own terms, or as the creator of future sample fodder, making controlled use of feedback to create amazing drones, glitches, and out-there sonic textures. And since it is a software recreation of an audio mixer, you don’t have to worry about blowing up your actual, real, expensive hardware. (Though it still pays to watch your levels with this app, and maybe supplement the onboard limiter with an external one in your recording environment, just to be on the safe side.)
You begin by injecting an initial sound source eg various colours of noise (white, pink, brown etc), then feed the output of that back into itself, drag it through a fistful of onboard effects, mix it into other channels (which you might also have set to feedback) and so on, before having the resulting glorious (and probably unpredictably varying) noise exit into your AUV3 recording environment, eg AUM. It is an experimentalists delight.
The app is, mostly, easy to understand but has a super dense manual and in this first iteration, some interface quirks (labels which are only sometimes buttons, etcetera) so be prepared to learn by, well, experimentation, and check out Gavinski’s Tutorials on the YouTubes for a detailed run through which is more fun than that electronics degree of a manual. Clarifications to the slight wonkiness interface wise are promised for future updates.
Getting interesting noises out of this thing is actually far easier than it’s dev has managed to make it look, actually. If you are looking for another identikit EDM synth, look elsewhere. But if you don’t need telling who Hainbach is, you’ll probably love this.
It is a lot of fun, and the relatively high price for IOS does get you full cross platform compatibility with phone and MacBook too, so there’s that.
I bought it as soon as it dropped. I am not regretting my decision! :)
