Nice sounds but.

This seems like a pretty nifty app and was tempted to buy the full version but as it is pretty much a stand alone and doesn't have Au support it can’t effectively be used with anything else inside the iPad e.g. AUM.
If this updates, or becomes available on older iOS then I would really be up for getting the full version.

Fun, but Needs updating

Just purchased this, knowing it is stand alone only, with no connectivity to other apps, because I’m granular addicted, lol.
I think it is a really clever idea.
But I was disappointed to find that it won’t send sound to my Bluetooth devices.
Also am having regular crashes, when loading files, and pressing play.
Sometimes it recovers, and starts playing, sometimes not.
Would be nice if it had more than one playback head.
Another feature I would like to see in an update, is the ability to apply modulation to some/all of the controls.
Also midi learn, so midi from other apps, or external hardware, could control the app’s functions.
As far as cpu usage goes, iPad hardware has come a long way, since this app was released.
Is there no way to optimize the software performance, so it is less stress on system resources, and could connect to other music apps?
I suspect that this app is now abandonedware, as there have been no updates for a few years.
It’s a shame, as the idea has a lot of potential.

Fun audio mangler

Soup is another in a long list of wonderful iOS apps that add a new dimension to music-making thanks to the dynamic of the touch screen, which is revolutionary. Any audio material can be manipulated to make totally unpredictable sounds (with the in-app purchase of import enable, of course.)
The one thing I would like to see that would make Soup truly perfect is AuV3 or Inter-Audio support for Audiobus, AUM, and similar. Don’t despair: there is an option to record what chaos you create for export, but being able to do it in realtime in conjunction with all your existing effect plugins would make Soup truly phenomenal and practically indispensable for contemporary experimental music-making.

Not optimized for 11-in

Rad sounds. Unfortunately, the app isn’t optimized to fit 11-in iPad. I can see a couple buttons cut off at the bottom of the screen. Perhaps there’s more missing that I can’t see. Please, please, please update to fix—I’d use this app all the time in that case.

😮

Once I figured out the basics I realised this is a stunning and unique app that for some reason seems pointless at the first glance (I downloaded it more than once before and I didn’t get exactly what it was about compared to more straightforward granular apps). 4 stars only for the lack of auv3 and - it seems- lack of updates.
