Skratcher vs Skym

Skratcher turns your iPhone or iPad into a full-featured DJ turntable. Load songs from your music library, scratch vinyl, mix beats, and perform live -- all with realistic turntable physics and low-latency audio. TURNTABLE & SCRATCHING Spin a realistic virtual platter with accurate 33-1/3 RPM rotation and touch-based scratching. Choose from three platter feel presets -- Snap, Medium, or Heavy (Technics 1200-style momentum) -- and switch between Smooth or Raw scratch texture to dial in your sound. A circular waveform display at the center of the jog wheel shows your position in the track in real time. EFFECTS & EQ Shape your sound with a suite of real-time audio effects: - Digital Delay with adjustable time, feedback, and mix - Bandpass Filter with an interactive 4-point curve editor - 10-Band Graphic EQ with LED-lit vertical faders - 3-Band EQ (Bass, Mid, Treble) - Reverb with 13 factory presets from Small Room to Epic Cathedral - Decimator (Bitcrusher) with 16 lo-fi presets including 8-Bit, AM Radio, and Broken Glitch SOUND EFFECTS PAD Trigger 12 built-in retro sound effects -- Horn, Stinger, Scratch, Backspin, Siren, Laser, Explosion, Alarm, Phone, Pew, Phaser, and Warp -- all generated by a procedural audio synthesis engine. Import your own sounds into custom SFX slots. CROSSFADER & TRANSFORMER Mix between your track and scratch samples using four crossfader curves: Scratch, Cut, Linear, and Constant Power. Enable Hamster Switch for reversed fader direction. The Transformer (XFRM) button provides instant audio cuts for advanced scratch techniques with sub-millisecond response.

Touch control for your Ableton devices. Skym is a MIDI controller app that allows you to control 4 parameters of your Ableton devices at once. Simply download the app, and install our Ableton script on Mac, and you can connect over USB or Bluetooth to perform expressive sound design. Our free starter Ableton project has some sounds to get you up and running. Skym sends 4 parameters at once. X, Y, Speed (how fast your touch is moving), and Gate (flips on and off with touch). These parameters automatically map to macros 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively. Combining these layers of control on synths, samplers, effects, gives you access to instant variability and interest in your sounds. Note Skym is a controller and not a sound generator, so the app does not make sound on its own. We only support connection and integration with Ableton on Mac. Mac OS must be 10.11 or later Ableton must be 11.0.0 or later
