About

This application provides physics-based Audio Unit MIDI plugins that generate MIDI messages through simulated physical interactions. It includes two distinct playgrounds: one with bouncing balls colliding with polygon sides, and another where balls interact with user-drawn segments.

What's New in Physicles

1.02

January 3, 2019

Introducing Physicles Gravity! A new AUv3 MIDI playground, where users can tap the screen to create ball generators, and pan one finger around the playground to create segments. MIDI messages will be created whenever a ball and a segment collide! Users can use two finger gestures (panning and zooming) to pan and zoom in/out of the playground. Also, tap an already selected generator to change parameters such as ball spawn rate, ball velocity, and number of collisions. In this version there are other small optimisations, such as a simpler way to activate "frozen" playgrounds - both on gravity and on bouncy.

Fine but

Work fine but hard to use on iphone
UI not optimised for a small screen
Anyway a must have with aum

Surely great but do not work on IOS 15.6 (updated since)

Update : Finally got it, application do not appear stand alone. I opened AUM and found it. Sorry that I misunderstood, changing the note to 5.

Original message :
It is surely a great app but when I open it it is only giving access to the manual, the app itself do not appears. I tried to remove it and load app again but no changes 🥲. @developper : if you get any idea it would be great. Thank you

Fascinating - Naturalism

Algorithmic sequential control lines for the AU3 world.
I use this frequently in Audiobus. Gravity is perfect for builds and bridges.
Idensity is a wonderful target.
I don’t understand people who give dreadful ratings because they can’t use an app and don’t comprehend the description on the App store
Thank you for making these interesting plugins.

actually pretty cool - please develop more

I got back into using this recently. I think a lot of the interface is elegant and designed for iOS properly with double-taps and swipes etc. The freeze function is a great addition.
I’d like to control some of the elements by time rather than beats since I like to make textures which I can later bring back to the beat through filters, or not at all. So some independence from the host’s tempo would be helpful.

One of the best free AUV3 midi apps

There aren’t a lot to choose from in the free category but this one is stellar. It’s fun to use and the physics are entertaining to manipulate. Watch the 2 minute tutorial on YouTube and you’ll be up and running quickly.
