Fusion by FloVerse vs RingsFX

Fusion is an interactive and expressive multimedia MIDI and OSC controller. Our simple, yet powerful, interface allows users to experiment with built-in graphics while also providing MIDI / OSC control using real-time sensor data such as 3D motions, audio (microphone) and heart rate/digital crown (Apple Watch). CONNECTIVITY: Connect to MIDI compatible software and hardware via Bluetooth MIDI, USB or WiFi. Connect to OSC compatible software using the local network/IP Address (e.g. WiFi). Note: Our app asks for permission to use Bluetooth to send Bluetooth MIDI from the phone to compatible hardware. Display the in-app graphics on an external monitor using an HDMI connector/dongle. SUPPORT & COMMUNITY: Comprehensive support for Fusion can be found on our website at floverse.ca/support. Users can also connect with other artists in our FloVerse Discord community via the in-App link. Our website also offers pre-built Ableton templates and how-to guides. COMPATIBILITY: While highly compatible with iPhones and other devices, lag in MIDI output from the Apple Watch can occasionally occur. Enjoy effortless MIDI / OSC generation with our app and explore limitless creative possibilities. Minimum recommended is iOS 16.0 or above and Apple Watch OS 8.0 or greater. Known compatible DAW software for Mac: Ableton Live, Logic Pro X, FL Studio, Reason, Cubase, Reaper, Studio One and more. Known compatible software for iPad: FL Studio Mobile, Synth One, Nanostudio 2 and more. Fusion also works with non-musical software (e.g. TouchDesigner, Resolume and Isadora) that support control via MIDI or OSC. DATA USE & ACCESS: Healthkit permission is requested because it is required to access Apple Watch data such as the heart rate.

RingsFX is an AUv3 plugin based on the famous Mutable Instruments Rings, one of the most dedicated and fully-featured Physical Modeling Eurorack modules ever created. At its core is a resonator that needs to be 'excited' or 'strummed' by MIDI input, noise, or external audio excitation. RingsFX emulates vibrations of structures simulated by 3 different synthesis techniques that can be plucked or process external signals: Modal Synthesis, Sympathetic Strings, and Inharmonic Strings. Traditionally, Rings was only monophonic but used a unique approach to polyphony that allowed the previous note to 'ring' out and decay while a new note was played. Rings FX provides these same modes (Mono, Duo, and Quad), but expands it with a true Polyphonic mode. RingsFX also expands the capabilities of the original engine by adding support for velocity sensitivity and MIDI MPE mode. The new polyphonic mode allows RingsFX to play up to 12 notes of true polyphony, depending on the settings. Doing so requires RingsFX to use multiple Rings resonators, but the more true polyphony you use, the more processing power it requires. Running in the traditional Monophonic, Duophonic, or Quadrophonic modes may be preferred in order to keep CPU usage under control. RingsFX has 7 modes in total, by combining the 3 basic modes with additional properties such as chords or specially tuned reverbs. The original hardware also had a secret 'Easter Egg' mode, which in RingsFX is simply calling 'Synthesizer' mode, rumoured to be based on one of the early Korg synthesis methods. This mode supported a number of mutable effects which now work on in all resonator modes. RingsFX also has a Mod-Matrix which allows you to combine the built-in LFOs and FEGs to great effect by manipulating parameters and mutable effects in realtime. Finally, RingsFX can be loaded as an AUv3 effect plugin. Set the Exciter Source to 'INPUT', and you can pass any audio through RingsFX and use this audio as an external exciter. For example, it can be used to great affect on a drum beat to create some crazy rhythms. Use the Output Mix to combine the original audio with the synthesised resonator output to create some stunning effects.
