apeMatrix vs auGEN X

Holding true to the standard of apeSoft, apeMatrix continues to push the limits of possibilities in music creation. Automating almost every aspect of linked control, apeMatrix brings all your creation tools together and links them both in MIDI and audio. Letting you inject all your favorite FX both AU and IAA in a very easy and intuitive way. apeMatrix can also assign its Control Manager MIDI, Accelerometer, Scrub and LFO’s to modulate every built-in parameter and any parameter available inside the AUv3 (Audio Unit Plugins). apeMatrix offers 10 slots on each of the three Matrix grids with 2 bus slots on each grid that make it possible to interconnect all 3 Matrix. The MIDI Patch-bay also offers endless possibilities for MIDI routing and control in a similar grid design for both internal and external MIDI control. So you can send and receive MIDI and have ultimate control over where it’s routed. Each Audio Connection on the grid has its own gain control. Just tap on the node and drag will give you the full range of volume control. Or use Mixer to controls the RAU output and automate them using apeSoft’s unique Control Manager MIDI, Accelerometer, Scrub and LFO’s to modulate every built-in parameter and any parameter available inside the AUv3 (Audio Unit Plugins). Turn each slot on or off by a control switch on the Matrix or MIDI control. Control output, pan, mute and solo of each slot and Master output of each Matrix with the built in mixer control or MIDI control. Route your sounds through all a series of FX or route multiple sounds through the very some FX. The possibilities are as endless as your creativity.

auGEN X bridges the creative musical world of artists with the exacting scientific world of audio engineers. What started as a precision audio test utility has grown into a fun experimental sound design instrument. On one end use auGEN X to help set up, test, calibrate, and optimize your audio system. On the other use it to create a wide variety of interesting sounds. auGEN X has a full-featured audio oscillator, a high quality noise generator, and an impulse generator. The simple yet powerful user interface is designed for fast, precise, intuitive control over your signals. auGEN X works both as a Stand-Alone App and as an AUv3 Audio Unit Extension responding to MIDI In and BPM Sync from Hosts. I started making this app because as an audio electronics engineer I could not find a single audio generator that does everything that I require AND is an AUv3 Audio Unit. auGEN X has expanded into a musical tool for exploring and learning sound design. Our goal is for auGEN X to be an Essential in your audio toolbox. We hope you enjoy it and we’re excited to hear the cool things that you do with auGEN X! "I really see this app becoming a standard and a must have component in one's iOS audio app arsenal." - Paul Henry, Paul Henry Pro Audio FEATURES - Oscillator - 3 Modes: Fixed, Frequency or Level Sweep - 4 Wave Shapes: Sine, Triangle, Rectangle, & Saw - Tri & Rect have a Duty Cycle control (1.0% to 99.0%) - Tri, Saw, & Rect are alias-suppressed yielding virtually alias-free performance at musical fundamental frequencies - 10 to 20,480 Hz extended audio frequency range (great for testing subwoofers!) - Full-featured Frequency or Level Sweep with 5 Types, settable Direction, & selectable Repeat or 1-Shot Mode - Sweep Period has a wicked wide range from 1/10,000th of a second to 100 seconds and can alternatively be set as a Sweep Rate in Hz or BPM - Wide sweep range allows for FM & AM style sounds - Noise Generator - 2 Modes: Fixed or Level Sweep - White or Pink Noise - Pink Noise conforms to SMPTE Standard 2095-1:2015 Calibration Reference Wideband Digital Pink Noise Signal - Impulse Generator (useful for checking reverb algorithms) - Impulse Width can be set in samples - AUv3 Audio Unit Extension or Stand-Alone App - Verified to work great in AUv3 Hosts such as GarageBand, Cubasis, AUM, apeMatrix, BeatMaker 3, & Auria Pro - As a Stand-Alone App audio is sent to iPad's built-in speakers, Headphone/Line Out, or to any iOS-compatible USB audio interface connected to the Lightning jack APPLICATIONS - Creative experimental sound design - Sound effects for film, TV, & games - Great chiptune style sounds - Synthesize sirens or alarms - Test, characterize audio equipment - Set up or dial in a home theater - Tune car audio systems - Test subwoofers - Hearing tests - Ear training - Vibration analysis SPECIFICATIONS - Audio signal path uses state of the art Double Precision 64-bit Floating Point for maximum accuracy - Stereo out - Selectable Pan Laws include Linear & Constant Power Panning - Supports 44.1, 48, 88.2, & 96 kHz sample rates - User Guide embedded in App - no internet connection required to read it SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS - Compatible with iOS 9.0 & up (iPad 2, iPad mini (1st Generation), & up) - Support way back to iOS 9 means auGEN X works on every iPad model (except the very first iPad). Breathe new life into your old iPad by using auGEN X to make it a dedicated, precision audio source. - AUv3 Audio Unit Extensions require iPad 4, iPad mini 2, and up - 88.2 & 96 kHz sample rate require iOS-compatible USB audio interface connected to the Lightning jack Watch demos & tutorials on auDSPr's YouTube channel.
