User reviews

Brilliant as always

Paul’s apps are always a cut above and this is no exception. It took a lot of sinking in because I’m getting old, but I’ve got the hang of it now.
The Waveglide and Matrix features are superb.
Well done my fellow Yorkshire Brother.

Fantastic!

One of the best granular synths I’ve ever used. Well thought out, sounds great and just an overall pleasure to use. Thats not easy to come by in granular synths. Thanks!!

Terrible auv3 implementation and rubbish on iPhone

Does not load up in GarageBand, why not? Have not bought a music app in years… so I pulled the trigger on this as it looks great in videos, something for ambient soundscaping.
Further, it doesn’t really work as a standalone, only fills half the screen on my iPhone so the controls are not accessible nor can you read anything descriptive
What is the point of making an app universal if it won’t fill up the iPhone screen? Judging by the amount of apps this dev releases, it seems he is in a hurry and doesn’t consider aesthetics and placement a priority.
Asked Apple for a refund and won’t touch this devs apps again
Be careful if you are an iPhone user

Response from developer

Works fine in GarageBand, so I assume you are doing something wrong. This app is an AUv3 plugin and not a standalone app. It only runs in standalone mode to allow backup of presets. It works fine when loaded under a DAW. In my humble opinion you don’t deserve a refund as you haven’t contacted me for technical support. Apple really needs to check these claims are true before issuing any refunds.

Another five star app

This is just wonderful. I can’t find anywhere to ask a question though so I’ll ask here . How do I play just the raw sample on the keyboard? Thanks

Fantastic

This is great app. Not sure what the other review means by “engin sound”?? App is feature rich and sounds amazing. If I have one gripe it’s to do with the drawing of the gui. Initially the interface is drawn small, you can resize but it never seems to fill the screen. This is mildly annoying. But the app is 5 star for sure.

FAQ

What is granular synthesis in WaveCloud?

Granular synthesis in WaveCloud involves dividing audio samples into very small fragments called grains. These grains are then independently manipulated for pitch, duration, position, and amplitude, offering precise control over sound transformation and composition.

What kind of sounds can WaveCloud create?

WaveCloud can produce a vast range of sounds and textures, from subtle atmospheric pads to complex dynamic effects. It's capable of creating time-stretched effects, glitchy sounds, vocal manipulations, percussive elements, and experimental soundscapes.

Does WaveCloud support MPE?

Yes, WaveCloud features MPE support, allowing for per-channel control of pitch bend, aftertouch, and CC74. This enables expressive performance capabilities for MPE-compatible controllers.

How does WaveCloud handle audio files?

WaveCloud includes a drag-and-drop system for importing and exporting audio files and presets. It also features built-in Preset and Audio Managers, along with a zoomable audio editor for cropping, fading, cutting, copying, pasting, and normalizing samples.

What are the unique movement features in WaveCloud?

WaveCloud includes two unique features for adding movement to audio grains: Orbit mode, which creates sweeping patterns tied to the DAW's tempo, and WaveGlide, a sequencer for glides and fades between different grain positions.

How often is WaveCloud updated?

WaveCloud was last updated on 2025-12-02 with version 1.07. While specific update frequency isn't detailed, this indicates ongoing development and support for the application.
