Discover a living world of harmonic motion, geometric art, and interactive visual synthesis. Euler VS Player brings the expressive visuals of the macOS app to your iPhone and iPad in a streamlined, touch-driven experience built for exploration, performance, and play. Play Anywhere. Create on macOS. Euler VS Player includes 24 professionally crafted presets, each showcasing unique combinations of periodic functions, harmonic oscillators, geometric transformations, and color systems. Interact with any shape using simple touch gestures to explore animations in real time. Design your own presets using Euler Visual Synthesizer for macOS, organize them into banks, for synchronization with your iOS device through iCloud. Preset Packs and Performance Tools Expand your library with premium professionally designed preset banks available as in-app purchases. For performance and live play, you can tap along to music using the built-in Tap Tempo feature. Tempo-enabled presets will pulse and animate in time with your rhythm.

Wave

App Name: Wave-USB FX Description: Wave-USB FX is a real-time laser effects generator for iOS. It produces oscilloscope-style waveforms, audio-reactive color effects, and geometric patterns — all output as multichannel audio signals designed to drive laser projectors through the Wave-USB hardware interface. The app can work stand-alone or with an external ILDA input (to the Wave-USB) for added effect. Features: • Oscilloscope Engine — Generate ramp, triangle, sine, Lissajous, ring, spiral, and spirograph waveforms with adjustable timebase, gain, and blanking controls. • Audio-Reactive Color — Drive RGB laser color from live audio input with configurable 3-band frequency analysis, per-band gain, color assignment matrix, and envelope shaping (attack/hold/decay). • Beat Detection — Automatic beat-driven size modulation with adjustable threshold, intensity, and decay. • Master Controls — Linkable X/Y size, X/Y offset, RGB level sliders, pixelation, delay, and 3-axis rotation with configurable rotation center offset. • Projector Calibration — X/Y gain and offset, 4 color profile presets (per-channel gain, offset, gamma, and mid-point correction), and full geometric correction (linearity, bow, pincushion, keystone, shear). • MIDI Control — Full MIDI mapping of all parameters via CC and note messages, with a configurable mapping table for custom controller layouts. • USB Joystick Support — BLE joystick input for real-time X/Y position and rotation offset control with adjustable gain and damping. • Live Preview — Metal-rendered laser point preview via HDMI output. Hardware Compatibility Wave-USB FX is designed for use with the Wave-USB multichannel audio interface. The Wave-USB provides the signal conditioning, level limiting, and safety interlocking required to safely drive a laser projector from audio-rate signals. While the app will technically function with other iOS-compatible multichannel audio devices, the Wave-USB is the only interface engineered specifically to condition and limit output for laser projection. Use of other audio interfaces with laser projectors is not recommended or supported.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Wave at none against Euler VS's 2. Euler VS's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.2 vs 26.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
