'soundfruuze' is an exprerimental live sampler / looper / granular and FFT scrub effect It records live the recent 10 seconds of audio and allows you to manipulate it with special controls. The interface is divided into five “lanes”, sound is produced by touching the lanes. Each lane can be set up to use different effect and has various control parameters mapped to the touch position: Scratch Most basic lane type. You can control the volume of the resulting sound and smoothness of the position interpolation. Lesser smooth value produces the sound with more high frequencies. Speed Another basic playback type. Starts playing from the position in the sound that you selected with touch. Vertical position controls playback speed, horizontal parameter is assignable. Granular Freeze Allows you to select the sound at some position and use both horizontal and vertical coordinates of touch as 2 independent parameters. You can control volume, playback speed (pitch) and the grain size. Granular Scrub This type of lane is very similar to granular freeze but it allows to change the position of the grain after its start. Granular Stream This lane type enables granular playback with random parameters. You can randomise grain position in the selected range, speed, grain size and pan. There is special control for that type lane. The 2-dimensional slider is assignable so you can change 2 parameters for each touch independently. FFT Freeze and FFT Scrub In both FFT types of lanes another algorithm is used to process sound. In both FFT Freeze and Scrub sound is analyzed with the FFT transform and divided into frames. FFT Freeze allows you to select the frame at the desired sample position and to play it making the sound “freeze” at this point. Looper This lane type allows you to make loops / repeat large grains of sound. When you touch a looper lane, a new looper control is created and is kept there until you turn it off with the red ‘close’ button. You can change loop speed, volume, size and position for each loop individually or for all loops on one lane together using additional controls FFT Looper This type works the same way as basic Looper but allows to change playback speed while keeping the pitch. It uses FFT algorithm for playback allowing constant pitch for any playback speed and the same FFT effects (gate and phase randomisation) Each lane has also five effects: - Frequency shifter - Ring modulation - Sample-and-hold (" lo-fi") - HP/LP filter - Reverb

Explore the building blocks of modern harmony. This app lets you see, hear and manipulate pitch class sets, the foundation of post-tonal and atonal music theory. EXPLORE • Tap notes on the pitch wheel to build any chord or scale. • See the Forte number, prime form, normal form and interval vector. • Check transpositional and inversional symmetry. • Open the K/Kh complex of any set to see which set classes include it or its complement. FIND • Tap notes on a keyboard, or type a Forte number (3-11, 6-Z44) or pitch-class numbers (0 4 7). • Browse all 224 Forte set classes, with Z-relations, filtered by size. TRANSFORM • Transpose, invert and multiply (M5, M7) any set. • Morph smoothly from one set to another. CREATE • Generate sets by cardinality, symmetry and density. • Arrange sets into rhythmic sequences using P, T, I, R and RI operations, with every inversion level. • Build a serial matrix from rows of 2 to 12 notes. • See each set as geometry in tonal space, with symmetry axes. • Export to MIDI and MusicXML. LEARN • A built-in theory guide. • Analysis examples from Debussy, Schoenberg, Stravinsky, Berg, Messiaen and more, with links to scores. Built for students, composers and theorists, from first-time learners to advanced analysis.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: soundfruuze at fortnightly against SetClass's every 2 months. soundfruuze also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). SetClass's advantage is price ($4.99 vs $6.99). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
