Great fun!
Had this app a long time now and wanted to say: it's a cool hidden gem I use to get strange synth loops. No audiobus or connectivity that I know of so recording it is a challenge but nonetheless, I do find I keep going back to it, along with all of Nic Collins' notes and writings on diy noise making. Thank you for your brilliance.

Pretty interesting !! i like how different it is
i dont seem to have much control but its pretty cool and free ! Thank you .
Essential Generative App
Love this. And it's free!
There's a learning curve while you figure out what the operators do and what the spatial relationships are about but this encourages happy accidents. Downloaded all of the rest of Nick's apps on the strength of this and they all look like enormous fun whilst making for some seriously useful tools for live performance.
Along with the Strange Agency, Nick is making the best experimental music apps around. Wish I was a student again and could attend the UoS course.

Spectacular App!
I love RISCy! Been using it since around January and continue to learn new tricks and enjoy it. Definitely recommend downloading it.
No, there is no save, copy, or export but that is part of the beauty of the app. I'm sure the dev has his reasons for not doing this and I have no problem with it whatsoever.
In most music apps, I would be displeased by the above but I feel it adds to the random, generative, one-time nature of it. Sometimes we need to learn that art doesn't have to be permanent; the most beautiful things are often those which are transient. Besides, it is not too terribly difficult to insert a double male jack to output it to the recording device of your choice if you do want to revisit a creation later.
I, personally, do not mind it being mono. Works better for output recording, at least for me. And if you want stereo, not too hard to achieve when working with it as a recorded audio file.
If there were a landscape mode, it would alter the parameters--I am assuming, at least--so I'm happy with the vertical view. I suppose if the parameters would, in fact, be different, it could make for an interesting extra way to create, but there is enough fun to be had as-is, so I am far from complaining here.
The new delay and tempo tokens make me quite happy. Thanks for adding those! I was giddy when I saw there was an update and even more so to see what the new additions were.
My favorite part about this app is it can produce great results whether you are not in the mood to think as you create or for when you do want to think as you create. Anyone who appreciates good old noise will have a blast with this app. One of my favorite uses for this app is to get a nice noise bit going and leave it running as a base for creating over live with comps and hardware.
Definitely heed the sound level warning seen when the app first opens, especially with headphones as it can get quite loud. Just because it seems low one minute does not mean you won't make a change which is loud. Learned the hard way.
Download it. What are you out if you don't like it? Nothing.
