Mazetools Soniface Pro vs GSDSP Quantum Distortion

Soniface Pro Features - Unlimited instruments - Pattern mode to create unlimited scenes - Airplay Visual Mode with HDMI Video-Outputsfor performance & VJing - Unlimited internal audio recording in .wav - By purchasing the Pro, you are directly supporting development Key Features Creative space to explore sound, music and geometric visuals Experiment with audio and visual objects and create your own scenes Operate controllers and play instruments via multitouch Motion interface to control instruments and parameters through gestures, movements and dance Cross-platform compatibility of project files Simple design for mobile devices, complex (regular) design for tablets and desktops Advanced in-app guide, FAQ & help function in English and German Instruments Gridsynth - A generative, visual synthesizer for drones and melodies incl. sequencer & arpeggiator Rhythm sequencer for sample- and synth-based basses and drums Spatial & granular soundscape sampler incl. mic input, sample library and file integration Key interface for cross-instrument tonality incl. progression sequencer Interactive LivePad and keyboard for Gridsynth, Bass & Sampler Automation & Connectivity Advanced controller automation incl. multi-touch editor, body tracking interface MIDI input and output Master FX and Ableton Link Normal mouse and keyboard support Audiobus & Inter-App Audio (experimental support) The Pro version represents all capabilities of our yearlong development in terms of a creative progress. The Pattern Mode is the essential feature in the context of musical and performative application. Therefore you have a simple, editable list of Patterns on the main screen. The Pattern Mode enables to build scenes with several instruments and samplers, each with different main settings like tempo, pitch, main EQ, sequence length as well as motion tracking connections. The additional Visual Interface gives you the possibility to design a whole new look for each scene. The visual corresponds to the sound as well as the motion interaction and main FX. In relation to your device it supports up to 3 display outputs with separate content. Soniface Pro combines a modular concept with spatial audio abilities. This offers new approaches to audiovisual performances and interactive installations. The desktop version supports surround sound output up to 7.1 speakers. The objects on the display become positioned within the XY field of the surround room. Soniface Pro does not refer to pro audio but allows you to use all facets of the software. As reference, you will find videos and music of our works (Ectoplastic) which were completely made with it, like multichannel audiovisual performances as will as our musical releases. There are a lot of pro features on our list and we are looking forward for the next update. Don't hesitate to write us your questions and feedback which we will answer personally. Information We do our best to avoid bugs, often enough they drive us crazy or were disappointed when a moment was lost. But it has to come out sometime and after the update before the update. So feel free to write us bugs and problems, definitely also if you made a song or video. Soniface needs access to the camera for motion tracking, the microphone for audio recording, the local files to save projects and recordings, and the network for Ableton Link. Much more content, terms of use, credits and FAQ are in the app's guide and can be found in the app's start-up menu. About Mazetools Empowering creativity, democratizing musical expression and making it inclusive - how does that work? These are the questions that keep us busy. Soniface is a first step in the process and provides important points of contact through the multitouch-based principle & motion tracking input. But we want to go further - with you and the community. We wish you a great time with Soniface Pro, Stephan & Jakob

Four complementary distortion algorithms — Saturation, BitCrush, Ring Modulation, and Downsampling — blended and shaped through an intuitive XY pad. Saturation Shape harmonics using Quantum Distortion’s custom waveshaping saturation. Adjust Drive to set the intensity from subtle warmth to strong coloration, and use Asymmetry to introduce controlled even-harmonic emphasis of vintage tube characteristics. BitCrush Reduce digital resolution using BitCrush and reshape the crushed signal with BitWarp, which bends the quantization curve for additional tonal variation. This combination allows precise control over both the amount of reduction and the character of the resulting digital artifacts. Ring Modulation Introduce inharmonic motion using ring modulation, generated by multiplying the input with a tunable oscillator. Adjust frequency and amount in real time to create anything from light metallic shading to dense, shifting sidebands. Downsampling Lower the sample rate using Downsampling, reducing temporal resolution for classic digital degradation effects. Set the rate down to 200 Hz or introduce Jitter for controlled randomness, adding instability and movement to the downsampled signal. XY Pad Blending Navigate between the four distortion algorithms using the XY pad, allowing smooth transitions or static blends across the processing modes. The background updates to reflect the current region, providing clear visual feedback while exploring hybrid distortion shapes and interactions. Quantum Distortion is an AUv3 audio effect plugin compatible with Logic Pro, AUM, Cubasis, GarageBand and many more. A Desktop version is also available for Windows and macOS (VST3 / AU / AAX).
