Absolutely amazing

The best imho granular playground

Continues to impress

Spacecraft may have simple engineering on the back. It’s 2 granular elements. One is green and the other is purple. What continues to make it fascinating to play with is how so many parameters are mapped out as X/Y pads. This very intentional choice makes playing with your whole hand (or both hands on the iPad) possible where every finger tip is controlling 2 things at once. I can’t say that about any other granular synth. I’ve shared it with friends a lot over the years: they’re always first impressed with how wild it looks, and then taken back by how good it sounds.

Excellent!

Thank you for creating this wonderful Synth. It works on very old iOS devices to the M1 Mac Mini and beyond. I love the versatilty, sound, MIDI Control.

Great

Unique and beautiful design, and wonderful sound manipulation make this a perfect app.

Still granular after all these tears

If I am looking for something a little bit left field in a composition then Space craft is my go to app . It is easy to use, well supported and very very versatile. Thanks for the last five years of support Dev.👍🙏🙏🏿👏👏

My Go-To Granular

After a rocky start years ago with the Wooji Juice abandonware granulars (great UIs, less great UX) I was spooked by ios granular synths for a while, thinking they’d all be hampered by limited real estate on an iPhone.

Then came Spacecraft.

It’s just fun to play with from the get-go. Plug in any old sound and take a bath in the shimmery glissandos, dance down dreamy arps… need a drone or ambience? No problem. Play it with a key controller and prepare for hyperspace rhapsodies!

Few apps are totally perfect, and I think file import & management could probably be streamlined a bit; these are relatively minor though, especially using Audioshare in conjunction with the general workflow. But i use this app quite a lot for adding interest to tracks in the zone between a melodic element and a background fill kinda way. Also plays nice with downstream processing like gates and automated filter curves.

😘 Love it!

favourite ipad synth

Cool app

Love the sound and the look but weird glitch where I hadn’t opened the app in about a week and all of a sudden it started droning while my iPad was off and locked at 3 in the morning, gave me a bit of a spook

My favorite app and I have a ton of music apps

Much thanks to the developer for such a unique and musical granular synth. I know there is a version 2 on the way and am looking forward to it. Is there any way we could see another new app based on granular synthesis in the future? Granular is my preferred method of creating and there are only a couple apps out there. But you are the master Mark and wonder what else you could create. Thanks and please consider

Update iPhone 13 Pro

Issue has been fixed concerning the AudioShare not being available for access through SpaceCraft, thanks!

Stand Alone Won’t Play In Background

Still!! Deleted for the last time. There’s too many better granular apps!

macht glücklich

Habe erst an der Oberfläche gekratzt, aber bin schon völlig hin und weg. Habe die App mit Fugue Machine angesteuert. Keine weiteren Effekte, kein Chichi, und klingt trotzdem so musikalisch und schön, dass ich gar nicht mehr aufhören möchte. Die Bedienung über die XY-Pads ist einleuchtend, feinfühlig und lädt zum Erkunden des Klangmaterials ein. Kann stundenlang durch das Klanglabyrinth navigieren, es gibt immer neue Überraschungen. Faszinierend.

Navigate a universe of sound

A brilliantly fun way to experiment with sound. Looking forward to what’s next.

Maravilla granular

Su uso es muy sencillo e intuitivo, hecha para perderse horas y horas experimentando con unos resultados espectaculares (y también superiores a los de otras aplicaciones de más prestigio con más presencia en la AppStore). Sin duda, para mí, una herramienta compositiva y creativa de las más sorprendentes que he podido encontrar hasta hoy. Mi enhorabuena al desarrollador de esta maravilla.

Nice app

iPad mini 1 couldn’t run it properly, sound glitches heavily. Although it runs OS 9.3.
On iPhone X it’s stable and fully functioning. I’d prefer more options for reverb, especially I’d like to be able to make it much longer.
Also it would be great if you include audio in the background option and screen lock behaviour control, like in SynthOne e.g.

Klasse App!

Das ist fast ein Tasty Chips GR-1! Macht auf jeden Fall viel Spaß damit zu spielen :) Und am kleinem iPhone Display lässt es sich trozdem bequem genug bedienen, was es nicht so oft bei solchen Apps gibt.
Danke an den Entwickler!

5 star rating is not enough for this awesome app.

I don’t know where to begin in describing this app, how about…those that can remember the early Moody Blues albums, where one song would merge with another song seamlessly using a beautiful carefully arranged orchestral link that would end up sounding like a space ship (I think…therefore I am), or perhaps maybe a thunderous Tangerine Dream track that morphs into a calm soothing sequenced melody, or perhaps the feeling of effortlessly floating around in space. On the other hand this app can also produce sounds of evil beings roaring at each other on a far distant planet and then seamlessly change into a calming flute playing next to a gentle stream by just moving the cross point on the wave file. This brilliant app is going to come in so very handy for creating beautiful soundscapes and intro/endings in just seconds. Without Spacecraft it would not be possible to produce this quality of sounds without having to spend hours or even days using all my other synth apps combined together.
I imported one of my own Cubasis3 mixdown arrangements into Spacecraft, I then asked my wife to listen to it without telling her what was playing, she really liked the complex and weird soundscape that she could relax too, it also reminded her of something she had heard before 😏that definitely convinced me I made the right choice in buying this app. I take my hat off to the developers, I would give 10 stars if I could.

Klangwelten

Selten habe ich 10€ so gut investiert. Man kann sich fast verlieren in diesen Klangwelten.

Love it, but

Could you please integrate some compatibility with AudioShare? I have had a bit of a headache getting my sounds in and out of this program and that would help a lot.

Nice implementation of granular synthesis

This synth offers a very easy introduction to granular synthesis and is mighty fun to use. With Spacecraft, you can create very wacky soundscapes that are just as good for art installations as they are for electronic music - and you can do it very, very easily and intuitively.

Unfortunately, there is still a lack of setting options and control ranges here and there. Personally, for example, one LFO is too little and the control range is too small. I would like to have it a bit faster. I am also missing envelopes and a useful filter section. However, some of the missing features can be realized via other plugins and signal routing. Oh well... Background playback is also missing for me...

The price is very fair. Above all, it is not one of those subscription models that stink to high heaven. I would encourage the developer to continue his work on Spacecraft. It's a great musical tool. Thanks for that.

If background playback and at least the filter section are added, I'll give it the full 5 stars ;-)
