About

Morphimus

Read full description

Morphimus is a playful, touch-first synth playground that turns simple gestures into rich, musical sound. Tap bubbles, slide the rainbow strip, spin the orbit wheel, glide along the tone stream, and jam drum pads to shape bright plucks, dreamy clouds, punchy beats, zappy FX, and flowing wave textures. With expressive live controls, colorful motion, and fast, responsive audio, Morphimus offers a fresh, hands-on way to explore music on iPhone and iPad. With advanced randomization features, exploration is at the heart of the experience. Re-roll the individual sound flavors to get a vastly different timbre, or use the global re-roll to roll a random combination of play style, sound flavor, key, and effects. You can also save and recall your favorite sounds.

Read full description

Braindance is a buffer-glitch effect for iOS. Feed it audio and cut, stutter, repitch and mangle it in real time. SEQUENCE Build glitch patterns on a step sequencer with gate, repeat, reverse and pan lanes. Fill rhythms with Euclidean patterns, set step size and length, and capture what you just played onto the history tape. EFFECTS Shape the result with bitcrush, flanger, delay and reverb, then a master filter with switchable SVF, ladder, comb and resonator modes. Automate any parameter with per-slot shapes and depth over a chosen number of bars. PERFORM Play the effect live. Morph between settings on an XY pad, hold macros like Fire, History, Forget and Freeze, and fire launch pads including Trance Gate, Half-Time, Tresillo, IDM Chop, Stutter, Machine Gun, Glitch Walk, Reverse Rain, Ping Pong, Repitch, Dub Siren and Clicks + Cuts. AUv3 Run Braindance as an Audio Unit inside your host to process tracks in place, or play it standalone. A MIDI variant is included for triggering glitches from a keyboard or sequencer. Three themes: Ark, Candy and Clarity.
