Rewamp plays the music of the machines that made it. Not recordings — emulation. A .sid runs on an emulated 6581, a .nsf on the NES sound hardware, a .mod through an Amiga Paula mixer. You hear the chip doing the work, as it did on the original hardware. FROM THE ARCHIVES THAT KEEP THIS MUSIC ALIVE For decades, volunteer archivists have collected and documented computer and game music so that none of it gets lost. Rewamp plays their work directly: HVSC, Modland, Amiga Music Preservation, UnExotica, SNDH, ASMA, VGMRips, ZXArt and more, with credits and demoparty results from Demozoo. Search by title, artist, group or platform, browse by collection, party or year. Every track keeps its original file and its credits. Your own files play too, including folders and archives (ZIP, 7z, RAR, LHA). OVER 1,200 FORMATS Tracker modules, 300+ Amiga formats, C64 SID, NES, Game Boy, SNES, GBA, Nintendo DS and N64, Sega and arcade VGM, MSX, ZX Spectrum, Atari ST and 8-bit, PC-98, X68000, AdLib, MIDI with SoundFonts or MT-32 emulation, 700+ game stream formats, and more. SEE THE SOUND Seven native visualizers: oscilloscope per voice, spectrum, notation, piano, tracker patterns and Milkdrop (projectM). Mute any voice, isolate a channel, change the tempo without changing the pitch. YOURS, OFFLINE Downloads play without a connection. Playlists, favourites and listening stats work on the device alone. A free, optional account syncs them across your devices. • Gapless playback or crossfade • Lock-screen and headset controls • No ads • 18 languages Rewamp is the successor to Modizer, rebuilt from the ground up.

See your stereo field. Vectorscope 2 shows the shape of a stereo signal as you hear it: how wide it is, where it leans and whether its channels work together or cancel each other out. Rebuilt from the ground up, it runs as an Audio Unit (AUv3) inside GarageBand, AUM, Logic Pro and any other host, and on its own with your device's microphone or an audio interface. TWO VIEWS OF THE SAME SOUND • X/Y: the classic Lissajous display. Mono sits on the vertical axis, wide material spreads across the diamond, and a signal out of phase turns sideways. • Polar: the half-disc view, with left, center and right laid out as you'd place them in a mix. • Short or long trail, automatic or fixed zoom, and four trace colors. METERS THAT TELL THE REST • Correlation, from +1 (mono-compatible) to −1 (out of phase), so you catch phase problems before they reach a mono speaker. • Balance, so you know where the energy sits between left and right. • Peak and RMS level meters with held peaks and clip indicators. Tap to reset. • A notice when the input is mono, so a single vertical line never looks like a broken meter. MADE FOR EVERY SCREEN Vectorscope 2 lays itself out for the space it's given: an iPhone upright or sideways, an iPad, iPhone Duo folded or open, and a plugin slot in a host, from GarageBand's compact strip to its expanded view. QUIET BY DEFAULT On its own, the app starts with its output muted, so the microphone never feeds back through the speaker next to it. As a plugin it passes your audio through untouched.
