Skratcher vs VU950

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. BEAT LOOPS Five built-in beat loops span Hip Hop (90 BPM), Boom Bap (85 BPM), Trap (140 BPM), House (120 BPM), and Breakbeat (100 BPM). Import your own loops from your music library or the Files app. SCRATCH SAMPLES Two built-in scratch samples (subject to change) plus the ability to import your own. Toggle between scratching the built-in/custom scratch samples or the main deck's audio. TEMPO & PITCH Automatic BPM detection analyzes every track on load. Key Lock lets you adjust tempo up to +/-50% while preserving pitch. Fine-tune pitch independently for beatmatching. RECORDING Record your DJ mixes to WAV using the built-in REC button. Load and replay your recordings directly in the app. MICROPHONE Connect a microphone for live DJ announcements and voice mixing with adjustable volume control. APPLE MUSIC Apple Music subscribers can browse, search, and load songs from the full Apple Music catalog. Non-subscribers can load 30-second preview clips for mixing. SHAZAM Identify the currently playing song with one tap. Shazam fetches the track title, artist, and album artwork automatically. LYRICS View time-synced lyrics as your track plays, powered by LRCLIB. Supports synced scrolling, plain text fallback, and instrumental track detection. P2P DUAL DECK MIXER Connect two iPhones on the same Wi-Fi network and turn them into a synchronized dual-deck DJ setup. Each device runs an independent turntable while sharing live audio, playback position, crossfader state, and cue points in real time. Hand one phone to a friend and mix back to back. CARPLAY Full CarPlay support lets you browse your library, select tracks, and control playback from your car's display.

VU950 is not about realism. It is about behavior. Sound shaped by limits, gain interaction and audible artifacts — the same forces that defined early digital samplers. Draws inspiration from classic midi sequencers combined with samplers. Why it sounds the way it does Instead of emulating a single piece of hardware, VU950 recreates the way early samplers behaved internally. Resolution limits, imperfect filtering and non-linear stages are treated as musical decisions, not technical flaws. What shapes the sound VU950 sample rate: 7.5 kHz to 48 kHz Full timestretch workflow with classic hardware sampler tone Reduced bit depth processing for early-digital density User-adjustable anti-aliasing behavior Stereo signal path with selectable left or right input channel Dedicated input gain stage with drive and circuit bias Multiple filtering stages including bandwidth limitation Built-in low-pass filter for tone shaping Anti-aliasing tuned for musical artifacts, not transparency Non-linear processing across the entire signal path Output gain stage that affects tone and density, not just level MIDI-controllable parameters for hands-on workflow Maximum sample length: 63 seconds Truncate option to trim sample Precise mode for precise trimming on start and end screen One or eight voices of polyphony Precise start and end point control for trimming Chop function with selectable amount of slices And that was just VU950 AUv3 plugin.
