RasterFX
Read full descriptionHide full description
Make any sound move. RasterFX is a playable modular multi-effects processor for iPhone and iPad. Use it standalone with a microphone, an imported audio file or built-in signals โ or load it as an AUv3 audio effect in AUM, GarageBand, Logic Pro for iPad, Loopy Pro, Cubasis and other Audio Unit hosts. BUILD YOUR EFFECT CHAIN Choose from Filter, Delay, Drive, Reverb, Grain, Repeat, Motion and Dynamics. Arrange up to six plates in series or split them into parallel A/B paths. Reorder the chain and the sound changes with it. MODULATE ANY CONTROL Patch LFOs, envelope followers, random and chaos sources, step sequencers, MIDI, macros, the XY pad or device tilt to any control. Create up to 16 modulation lines, with live arcs showing exactly how the sound is moving. PERFORM THE PATCH Morph between four snapshots on the XY pad. Turn eight macros. Hold four momentary throws for stutter, sweep, reverse and freeze. RasterFX is built to be played with one hand, not programmed and left alone. GENERATE, LOCK, EVOLVE Nudge a patch, reshape it or roll a new one. Lock the parts you want to keep, undo any result and save the seeds worth returning to. Evolve lets the patch drift over time while staying anchored to the sound you chose. SEE WHAT YOU HEAR Every effect has its own live visualizer. The CRT and halftone interface makes filters, delay taps, grains, dynamics and modulation visible without turning the screen into a wall of meters. RECORD THE RESULT Record the processed output to WAV, rename takes and share them from the app. FREE TO START. PRO ONCE. Free includes all eight effects, all modulation sources, every factory preset, three plates, four modulation lines and 60-second recordings. No ads, account, watermark or reduced audio quality. RasterFX Pro is a one-time purchase โ not a subscription. It unlocks six plates, 16 modulation lines, split routing, XY snapshot morphing, Evolve, A/B compare, unlimited recording length and your own saved presets. Your saved sound always plays back exactly as created, even if it uses Pro features; Free limits editing, never playback. Made for headphones, late at night.

SEPBLOOM LABS brings images, sound and touch into one quiet creative space. Import an image or create a short text composition. Explore a continuous particle field with orbit, zoom, attraction and depth. Choose organic motion presets or fluid textures from the MOTION panel. Import your own music to drive breathing, curls and flowing movement. Song analysis guides gradual transitions into floating particles during energetic passages, then back toward the image as the music settles. PLAY turns the canvas into an instrument. Choose a sound, root and scale, then play the multitouch keyboard. Shape expression with vertical finger movement, explore chords, or adjust envelope, filter, LFO and space. Felt, Clear and Dream offer different starting points. Record particle videos with imported music or your live performance, then preview, share or save them to Photos. Light and dark themes keep the focus on your work. Works locally on iPhone and iPad. No account is required. Music files are supplied by you; use content you have permission to share. AI music generation is not included in this release.
