MapMySound is a soundscape recording and mapping app for capturing the world as it sounds. Record ambient sounds, music, conversations, and nature — anywhere — and each recording is automatically tagged with its location, temperature, and humidity. Every sound you capture appears on a global map, so you can explore recordings from cities, coastlines, and communities around the world — or revisit your own sound memories exactly where you made them. Start recording immediately — no account required. Record as a guest, and when you're ready, sign in to save your sounds to your account automatically. Features: • Record and geo-tag sounds anywhere, even without an account • View the walking path of every recording on a map • Analyze sound with a live spectrogram and decibel readout • Browse a global map of soundscapes recorded by users worldwide • Bookmark, share, and organize your favorite sounds • Upload, download, and revisit your recordings anytime Whether you're a field recordist, a traveler, or simply curious what the world sounds like, MapMySound turns every walk into a sound map worth remembering.

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 review sentiment: Fundamental2 at 57% against MapMySound. Soundscape Map's 0%. Fundamental2 also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). MapMySound. Soundscape Map's advantage is price (Free vs $34.99) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MapMySound. Soundscape Map holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fundamental2 has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of MapMySound. Soundscape Map's written reviews are positive against 57% of Fundamental2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MapMySound. Soundscape Map ships an update monthly, Fundamental2 every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
