Moebius Lab is a multimorphic sound processor which contains a synth, a varispeed stereo sample player, 9 time domain effects, 6 spectral effects, 7 slots for external audio application, and nearly 200 LFOs that can modulate each parameter. You can move the effects along two chains, and get endless combinations of incredible sounds. ALL the App parameters can be modulated with dedicates LFO (one independent LFO for each parameter!). To get you started, you have more than 200 ready-mades presets. Each effect has an in-line help with an explanation of the parameters. The screen is divided into 3 horizontal areas: the top one contains the sound source (Sample player/External Input/Internal Synth), the middle one contains the Time Domain Effects Chain with four slots for external apps, the bottom one contains the Spectral Effects Chain. The two effect chains are connected in a sort of Moebius Ring: you can route the signal from the Time Domain Chain to the Spectral Chain and vice versa. You can even add up to 7 IAA effects and/or instruments, the number of possibilities is huge! *** LIST OF EFFECTS (NODES) *** - EXCITER The Exciter Node distorts the signal below (Saturation) or above (Excitation) a given frequency. - RINGER A ring modulator with distortion and feedback. - KLAMPER Clamps the signal with some special features. - SWARMER A “superchorus”, excellent to create super fat synth sounds (and more). It is composed by a chain of modulated delay lines. - FILTER The Filter node has two configurations: Dub: dual low-pass high-pass state variable filter with resonance and overlap factor. Morph: a triple low-pass/band-pass/high-pass state variable filter with resonance and continuous morphing between the filter types. - SPLITDEL A dual band delay with feedback. - REDUKTOR This node can be used to decimate and do other “bad things” to your signal. - SHIFTER A dual band frequency shifter. - REVERSO Plays the signal in reverse at regular rate. - BRICKWALL A spectral brickwall filter. - GRIP This node samples and holds spectral components of the incoming signal, based on their amplitude. - BLUR A (noisy) “spectral reverb”. The duration of the spectral components is prolonged (blurred). - DEGRADER A spectral decimator. - FLUTTER Flutter is a sort of animated brickwall. Two spectral sinusoidal LFOs define the frequency boundaries. The spectral components which are inside or outside (depending on the Spectral Balance) these boundaries are suppressed. - PLATEVERB As the name suggests this is a classic Plate Reverb. - DYNAMICS PROCESSOR You can change the output sound using a compressor and expander effect. This is used to either reduce or expand the dynamic range of an audio signal. THE SYNTH The internal synth contains two band limited oscillators, a complex oscillator, a ladder filter, an envelope generator and a sub-bass oscillator. Other Features: - Audiobus and Inter-App Audio support (sender and FX) - Built-In​ Stereo Sampler with varispeed - Control Manager LFO for Parameters - Midibus, Virtual Midi and Network: 14 bit NRPN controllers - File Manager, sharing common audio files via iTunes, Dropbox and AudioCopy - Snapshots Presets Morphing Pad

Read full description

Fundamental is a sound synthesis software combining the different roots of electronic music history. Its wave engine is a faithful sonic recreation of a vintage Rohde&Schwartz vacuum tube oscillator ( having been widely used at WDR by Stockhausen ) Thanks to sonicLAB audio engine design, Fundamental leaves behind the limitations of the original device by proposing complex modulation possibilities, stochastic distributions addressing the sonic parameters like frequency , gain, stereo panning etc. in continuum, which has not been applicable until now. The Fundamental software presents you 8 instances of this vintage sine wave generator with all the artifacts and richness of a vintage equipment. That combination is we believe something you should experience. Direct Link for manual : https://www.sonic-lab.com/Fundamental/Fundamental2iOS_manual.pdf Fundamental2 brings following new features to the Fundamental1, basically now you can create organic, endless moving textures. (for iOS standalone and AUv3 ) - Ring Modulator, 7 individual modulator oscillators and one carrier oscillator. - A morphing engine which lets you gradually morph between four instances of Fundamental scenes. Also a stochastic manipulation on the 2D morphing panel is possible. - True real time gradual transition between tuning scales. - Rotary Encoder midi controller mapping for high resolution oscillator frequency and gain control with midi hardware. - One can send midi note-on messages to each Fundamental oscillator on discrete midi channels. - A morse code simulator is available on each GEN (sonicLAB LFO design ) which can create custom morse signals to modulate the relevant GEN outputs. - new envelope type "Ernd". Whether you play live electronics, compose for media or just insterested in early electronic music, Fundamental2 is a strong tool. Some of the main features of Fundamental1: ( iOS standalone and AUv3 ) - unique polymorphing wavetable synthesis without any compromise in data content and precision. - 4 dynamic wavetables being rendered for each voice to represent infinitesimal steps of frequency and gain combinations between 1HZ – 3800Hz of the original vacuum tube oscillator. - 8 simultaneous voices each with custom freq, gain, boost, panning and modulation settings. - Custom or harmonic frequency distribution of voices with variable spread ratio and tuning table. - 4 independent stochastic modulations for each voice (32 in total) addressing all parameters with various continuous, discrete distributions and also standard waveforms. - Full MPE support with various configuration possibilites. - Independent Attack / Release envelopes for each voice with various modes, AR times can be set to degrees of randomness. - Vintage oscillator or pure sine wave mode. Recommended iPAD model : A12 processor or higher. Due to screen size challenges, iPAD Mini models are not recommended.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Moebius Lab at $9.99 against Fundamental2's $34.99. Moebius Lab also leads on review sentiment (96% vs 57%) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). Fundamental2's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (12 vs 17.0). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Moebius Lab holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Moebius Lab has 50 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 96% of Moebius Lab's written reviews are positive against 57% of Fundamental2's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Moebius Lab ships an update every 3 months, Fundamental2 every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and June 28, 2026 respectively.
