## What is rrarrow?

rrarrow is the experimental noise machine / modular audio effect for the iOS featuring extended feedback capabilities.

Key features:
- Simplicity. The interface is simplified for faster assembly and more flexible connectivity — you can assemble your effect very fast and control all the processing parameters with the audio signal!
- Feedback capabilities. You can add feedbacks to the audio chain to get some chaotic noise sounds .

- 20 blocks for audio processing:

- Sine generator. Basic oscillator with sine waveform
- Saw and square oscillators
- Signal multiplier
- Delay
- Frequency shifter
- Envelope follower
- “Lorenz attractor”
- Quantizer
- Sample-and-hold
- Reverb
- Special Lowpass filter
- Clipper
- Nonlinear shaper (for self-oscillating circuit)
- two special waveshaping modules with “fold” and “wrap” distortion
blocks that work with audiofiles:
- lookup table. Loads up to 10 seconds of audiofile to be used as nonlinear transfer function
- Players with/without interpolation and speed control
- "scrub" block for semi-random granular file playback

- Built-in audio recorder. Share the audio file to other applications or AudioShare.
- MIDI support! Assign MIDI controllers to all faders. Supports network midi and has a virtual MIDI in.
- Audiobus support. Now you can stream live audio directly to other Audiobus-compatible apps! See http://audiob.us for more information.  Works as input and filter.
- Audiobus state saving support
- Inter-App Audio support
- Background audio support: enabled when connected to Audiobus and user switchable otherwise. The 'background audio" switch is located in app's "settings" page

### 1/5 — Audio won’t route to Bluetooth headphones

*2026-07-06*

Could be a great app but I can’t find out. Audio from the app will only route to the iPhone speaker making it unusable for me since I bought it to use as a mobile sound app. Would like to give it more stars. Is there something I am doing?  I checked all the settings and permissions and everything is correct. It simply won’t route audio toy Bluetooth headphones.

### 5/5 — Doesnt work on ipad pro ios17

*2024-10-19*

Doesnt launch. Crashes

Update: it started working after I left my ipad alone to charge over night.

### 5/5 — Killer

*2023-03-29*

Man, this app is out of this world. I’m a huge fan of jmt synths… but was looking for an app, with rich sound and usable interface, this one is a gold gem. Anyone into noise music should have it.
Thx

### 3/5 — Needs an update.

*2023-01-21*

This is a neat app and concept, but it appears to need an update as of 2023. I can’t get it to integrate with Audiobus.

### 4/5 — AUv3

*2022-11-17*

Alex, it’s fun - give us AUv3 and I’m sure it will have a revival! …plus a fifth star

### 5/5 — A noise boys wet dream

*2020-08-16, version 2.0.1*

I’m very surprised I’ve never seen this app utilized at any noise shows.   This is an absolute hidden gem.  If you seek a generator for harsh noise music on iOS, this is what you need.

### 5/5 — Sadly abandoned

*2020-08-15*

App still works but its inter-app audio is broken on my new phone. Would be nice to see it updated to auv3 like Phawuo.

**Developer response:** Hello,Yes, sorry for that. The minor update is supposed to be available very soon. The new rrarrow version 3 is still under development with auv3 and some more features.Regards,Alex

### 5/5 — Wizard sound lab of mayhem

*2018-12-13*

This thing has feedback loop concepts that I have never even thought of, it’s really cool and inspiring. Any human into experimental sound designs and a dope wire interfaces will agree that the robot here is ace. This can get noisy and just thick it’s really cool.

### 5/5 — Great

*2016-01-04, version 2.0.1*

How did I go so long without knowing about this app?

### 5/5 — Very Original!

*2015-03-19*

I am totally impressed and you will be if you buy this app and start playing with it. Highly recommended.
