NoiseSpace is an experimental sound generator based on simplex noise, which is then used in a granular synthesis algorithm. This design allows for the creation of a vast array of diverse waveforms rich in harmonics with a rich low-frequency spectrum. The generator is controlled by just a few simple parameters. Despite its somewhat chaotic and atonal nature, it is great for creating rich noise, gritty textures, complex patterns and deep, dark, mesmerizing and tense backgrounds. It is especially suitable for creating ambient compositions, as well as sci-fi, industrial, post-apocalyptic and horror atmospheres. This app also serves as a powerful tool for noise art and sound design, offering users the ability to craft intricate and captivating sonic structures. With its focus on deep, hypnotic, and tension-filled soundscapes, NoiseSpace is an essential tool for musicians, sound designers, and artists exploring experimental and textural audio creation. Starting with NoiseSpace is remarkably easy. The application features a dedicated "Create" button that generates unique and interesting presets ready for immediate use, requiring only minimal adjustment to suit the user's needs or ideas. Additionally, it includes options for generating sequences and patterns, and for simple tone and modulation creation for each generator, making the application user-friendly and ready for immediate exploration right from the start. Key Features: Five Sound Generators: Utilizes simplex noise and granular synthesis to create diverse sound textures. Versatile Sound Options: Offers a vast range of sound variations with just a few parameters. Advanced Filters: Includes both classic and complex filters for each generator.

Got GAS? Hi, I'm Nico. I play guitar, so I buy guitars... and amps... and pedals... and for years, I've been looking for an app like this. So I finally decided to make one. With GASlist, you can log every guitar, bass, amp, pedal, synth, or drum kit you own — with photos, detailed specs tailored to each type of gear (all the geeky stuff that actually matters to us, this is honestly what took me the most time but I think it was worth it), the serial number, and your estimated value. This is the Gear section. What makes GASlist different — and IMO makes it the best app to track your gear (but I'm obviously not objective) — is the Rigs section. Build a rig for each of your musical projects and always know what gear you're using and who you're using it with. You can also keep all your project info in one place: upcoming shows and rehearsals, locations, setlists, band riders, and more. At any time, you can export a clean PDF catalog for each item or your entire collection. Flex on your bandmates, properly insure your rig (because yes, there's a specific place in each entry to store the purchase invoice), or just send it to that person who asked for more info because you just put a piece of gear up for sale. WHAT'S INSIDE Log guitars, basses, and a genuinely absurd list of stringed instruments — 9-string electrics, baritones, microtonal double-neck guitar/basses, lap steels, electric sitars, you name it — as well as pedals, synths, and drums. Track everything you own with the specs that actually matter (the nerdy stuff, but we know it's actually important). Build rigs from your gear. Snap up to 3 photos per entry for free, or up to 10 with Premium — because one angle never does a two-tone sunburst finish justice. Choose between dark and light mode. Export a shareable PDF catalog or a full JSON backup. Works offline — your collection shows up even when the venue Wi-Fi doesn't. Sign in with Apple and sync across every device you own (we know it's more than one). GASLIST PREMIUM Unlimited instruments, amps, and pedals. Unlimited rigs. Up to 10 photos per entry. Search your entire stash. Basically: no more excuses, no more limits — just more GAS. PRIVACY No ads. No tracking. Your gear, your data, your business. Export or delete it whenever you want. I'm just a musician, so there's no shady stuff. Actually, it's made by a musician, for musicians.
