VU950 vs Ambiotica

VU950 is not about realism. It is about behavior. Sound shaped by limits, gain interaction and audible artifacts — the same forces that defined early digital samplers. Draws inspiration from classic midi sequencers combined with samplers. Why it sounds the way it does Instead of emulating a single piece of hardware, VU950 recreates the way early samplers behaved internally. Resolution limits, imperfect filtering and non-linear stages are treated as musical decisions, not technical flaws. What shapes the sound VU950 sample rate: 7.5 kHz to 48 kHz Full timestretch workflow with classic hardware sampler tone Reduced bit depth processing for early-digital density User-adjustable anti-aliasing behavior Stereo signal path with selectable left or right input channel Dedicated input gain stage with drive and circuit bias Multiple filtering stages including bandwidth limitation Built-in low-pass filter for tone shaping Anti-aliasing tuned for musical artifacts, not transparency Non-linear processing across the entire signal path Output gain stage that affects tone and density, not just level MIDI-controllable parameters for hands-on workflow Maximum sample length: 63 seconds Truncate option to trim sample Precise mode for precise trimming on start and end screen One or eight voices of polyphony Precise start and end point control for trimming Chop function with selectable amount of slices And that was just VU950 AUv3 plugin. In Standalone: 8 tracks Support for hosting AUv3 apps to change VU950 sound engine to any sound You like. Build in multi sampler - VU20. Build in midi device - VUMIDI. Mixer with 4 inserts per track. 17 build in effects like filters, eq, compressors Possibility to use 4 AUv3 effects per channel Step Sequencer Piano Roll. Song Mode Live Mode Export wav with stems. Loading samples to build in turntable and record samples to VU950/VU20 or another AUv3 plugin with inputs Classic and modern UI template (Modern is fully customisable) In app purchases drumkits are downloadable after purchase (MPC60 drumkit for free) You can check also my another beatmaking app - VU202 - which is free and it is also a AUv3 instrument so You can use VU202 in VU950!

Ambiotica turns any sound into a slowly evolving ambient spacescape. Feed it a chord, a field recording, a guitar, or your voice, and it spins that input into a living drone: a rolling looper, a granular cloud, micro-loops, and a modulated, chord-tuned reverb, all pulled together by one macro called Gravity. THE SIGNAL CHAIN Your sound splits into two parallel paths. One is a Looper feeding a Granular cloud; the other is a parallel Micro-loop. Both merge into a modulated Reverb, and the reverb tail regenerates back into the source, so the texture keeps re-graining and evolving on its own. THE CONTROLS Orbit: a tempo-synced rolling looper. Sets the loop length and feeds it back on itself, so layers stack into an evolving bed. Constellate: clouds the sound into grains. Turn it up and the grains grow and spread in pitch, from a sparse sparkle to a thick pad scattering into octaves and fifths. Satellite: a second, faster loop. Down for a long, rolling loop; turn it up and it tightens into a tiny fragment that freezes and sustains into a drone. Tail: the reverb's decay, from a small room to an endless wash. Flux: sets the reverb tail in motion (shimmer and a stereo drift) and feeds it back into the chain, driving the self-evolving regeneration. Spectra: a bank of resonators tuned to your chord. Rings the reverb tail into a harmonic shimmer (set Key and Chord). Dilation: reverse. Flips the loops and grains so they play backward. Gravity: the master pull. Raises feedback, decay, granular density, freeze and motion all at once, collapsing the whole chain into a single sustained drone. Event Horizon: the counter-force. Pulls feedback, decay, the chord ring and the regeneration down together, emptying the chain toward silence. Mix and Level: dry/wet blend and output trim. Tap any stage's constellation to bypass it and build the exact chain you want. Sixteen factory presets give you starting points, from gentle shimmer to a full frozen drone. A NIGHT-SKY INSTRUMENT The interface is a living constellation. Each stage is a glyph that breathes and moves with the sound, and Gravity collapses the whole field into a glowing well. A reduce-motion option stills the animation whenever you want. FORMATS Ambiotica is an AUv3 plug-in for iPhone and iPad.
