AudioGrafik vs Locus

AudioGrafik is an immersive audiovisual experience that transforms music into real-time visuals. With direct integration of the SoundCloud library, you can freely explore an endless array of tracks, artists, and genres—and watch them come alive as unique graphic compositions. Every sound becomes a moving landscape, a shape that pulses and evolves with musical energy. Whether you’re a visual artist, sound designer, music lover, or simply curious about digital art, AudioGrafik offers an open space where sight and sound meet. The app uses a generative visual engine that analyzes music in real time and turns it into abstract visual patterns. No two tracks produce the same result. Each playback is a living interpretation—a visual journey through rhythm, texture, and frequency. Key Features: • Full access to the SoundCloud library (via their public API) • Free search of tracks and artists • Real-time visuals perfectly synced with the music • Varied visual styles: abstract, fluid, rhythmic • Fullscreen mode for total immersion • Clean, distraction-free interface • Optimized for smooth performance on iOS AudioGrafik collects no personal data and requires no user account. Just launch the app, search for a track, and let the music take over. This is not your typical audio player. It’s not just a waveform visualizer either. It’s a tool for inspiration—a creative playground—a bridge between sound and image. AudioGrafik: See the sound. Hear the image.

Locus is a generative MIDI sequencer that creates evolving melodic motifs and sends them to your favorite synths. Designed for techno, ambient, IDM, and experimental electronic music, it turns a single seed into fresh musical ideas across thirteen generative archetypes, from acid-style grooves and cascading arpeggios to sparse fractals and interlocking pulses. Use Locus as a standalone app or as an AUv3 MIDI effect inside hosts like AUM, Logic, Cubasis, and Drambo. Every generated pattern plays in sync with your host and routes over MIDI to any instrument you choose. GENERATION Press CREATE and Locus composes a new motif from the current archetype, rooted in your chosen key and scale. Each archetype has its own rhythmic and melodic character: Groove, Cascade, Arc, Wander, Call & Answer, Chaos, Pulse, Even Pulse, Sparse Fractal, Interlock, Cluster, Puncture, and Thump. Generation is seed-derived, so the same settings always reproduce the same pattern. EVOLVE Push EVOLVE to generate controlled variations of the current motif. Keep what works, mutate what doesn't. Rhythm and pitch shift in musically coherent ways without losing the pattern's identity. FEEL Shape the musical foundation with Root, Scale, Timing, Steps, Octave range, Swing, Dynamics, and Density. 25 scales keep everything in key. Raise density to fill the grid or thin it out for space. EDIT & SLIDE Engage Pattern Lock to edit the authored pattern directly: rotate, move, and transpose notes, or undo and redo. The SLIDE knob adds per-note slides with 303-style legato, gliding between pitches for classic acid phrasing. Slides even carry across density-thinned notes. SCENES Capture complete musical setups in sixteen scene slots and chain them into full arrangements. Each scene remembers its pattern, archetype, feel settings, and slide amount. STANDALONE & AUV3 Use Locus as a standalone app or as an AUv3 MIDI effect. It runs in AUv3 hosts such as AUM, Logic, Cubasis, and Drambo, following host transport and clock.
