Sound Creator vs WorldTuning

Most music apps ask you to learn them first. This one doesn't. Pick a sound from the bar at the bottom. Drag it onto a lane. That's a beat. Drag another one next to it. That's a pattern. There is no tutorial, no project setup, no menu tree to climb — you touch a sound and it plays, you drop it and it stays. What's inside Over 300 sounds, all built in, all offline. Fifty general effects, fifty techno one-shots, fifty house sounds, fifty EDM, fifty dubstep, a drum kit, and a full 88-key piano from A0 to C8. Every sound was synthesized from scratch and level-matched, so nothing jumps out or disappears when you layer it. You can also bring in your own audio from your device or from iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox — anything the Files app can reach. How it works The screen is a stack of lanes. Each lane is a horizontal timeline; each sound you drop becomes a block you can move, trim, or delete. Grab a block by its edge handle and slide it. Drop it in a gap and nothing else moves. Drop it on top of something and the neighbours step aside. Drag it up or down to move it to another lane, or drag it to the top bar to delete it. Grab the empty space between sounds and everything to the right shifts with your finger — that's how you open or close a gap without touching each block. Editing a sound Tap any block to open its panel. Speed from 0.1× to 3×. Volume. Fade in, fade out. Trim from the start or the end. Reverse it. Repeat it up to 50 times with a gap you set in milliseconds — useful for rolls and stutters. Copy it. Delete it. The same controls exist for a whole lane, plus a loop that duplicates everything in the lane as many times as you want. Build four bars, loop them eight times, and you have a track. Piano The piano notes work like the effects, with one addition: you set the note length once — 100 ms to 5 seconds — and every note you drop after that lasts exactly that long. Notes you already placed keep their own length, so a melody can mix short stabs and long sustains without going back to fix anything. Playback Press play and the lanes scroll by themselves. The red playhead sits in the middle of the screen and the music moves past it, so you always see what's about to sound. Every hit is scheduled against the device's audio clock rather than a software timer, which means loops stay tight instead of drifting. The clip you're hearing pulses in the timeline, so on a busy arrangement you can tell which sound is which. Saving and sharing Projects are saved on the device with their length shown. You can rename, duplicate, play, edit or delete any of them. Export a project as an audio file to keep, send or publish — the exported file carries the project inside it, so someone else with the app can open it and keep editing. On every device iPhone, iPad and Mac. The same app, the same projects, the same layout. On Mac you get arrow controls for every scroll area; on iPhone and iPad the whole thing works with your thumbs. Free and Premium The app is free with everything above available. Free covers 20 saved projects and tracks up to 5 minutes. Premium is a single €0.99 purchase, no subscription. It removes the project limit, extends tracks to 30 minutes, and enables importing your own sounds, importing project files, and exporting audio. Buy it once on any device and it works on all of them. Who it's for Someone who wants to make a beat on the bus. Someone learning what a loop is. Someone who owns a real DAW but wants to sketch an idea before it disappears. It won't replace Logic and doesn't try to — there's no mixer, no MIDI, no plugins. What it does is get from an idea to something you can hear in about thirty seconds, and let you keep going from there. No ads. No account. No internet required. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.

An orchestra tunes up, and never stops. WorldTuning is an endless drone built from the moment before a concert begins: the oboe gives the A, strings and winds drift in slightly out of tune and settle onto it, voices join, and the whole hall hums. Every sound is synthesised on the spot — there are no recordings inside the app — so the performance never repeats. The screen is the performance itself. Each sound rises from the bottom edge and fades away near the top, the last 45 seconds on screen at once. Left to right is pitch. Colour tells you what is sounding: blue for long tones, green for voices, yellow for short sounds, red for the oboe's A. Each instrument and voice has its own shade, and every stroke swells and thins with its sound. Touch the picture to send the whole orchestra on a journey. Left to right sets the balance between low and high instruments; bottom to top runs through eight places, quiet at the bottom and busy at the top — Solitude, Stillness, Calm, Vertigo, Tuning, Weighty, Radiant and Rhythm — with the top and bottom joined into a loop. A baton knocks on the podium, a crosshair shows where you are aiming, and when you lift your finger the performance travels there over the Transition time while a circle closes in on the spot. Knock three times to stop or start. The performance can also wander the map on its own, and Randomize moves every setting somewhere new. Everything that shapes the sound is in the Sound sheet, grouped into five tabs: - Ensemble — how much the oboe, long tones, short sounds and voices take part, whether the oboe's A comes at random or at a steady interval, and the balance between low and high. - Pitch — the concert pitch from 415 to 466 Hz, how far the players start out of tune and how quickly they converge, how far up the harmonic series they reach and how much its partials stretch, and the temperament: just, equal, quarter tone, 19 tone, slendro, pelog, gamelan or stretched. - Time — density, build-up and an optional pulse. - Motion — slow drifts of pitch and register, breathing density, and waves in which the whole ensemble agrees to tune together. - Tone — vibrato, the air and grain of breath and voice, how much each instrument keeps its own character, a vowel field that makes the orchestra seem to sing, reverb spaces from a small room to a cathedral, and a limiter. Choose how the performance ends: cut off, fade out, one by one, let ring, a final accent, high to low or low to high. Send the sound to Bluetooth speakers, AirPlay speakers such as HomePod, or a USB audio interface, and control it from Control Center and the Lock Screen. Record exactly what you hear as a 48 kHz / 24-bit WAV file. WorldTuning can also listen. With Listening on it hears the sounds around it and tunes its own reference pitch to the pitch it hears, leaving out the sound it is making itself; put two or three devices in a room and they tune to one another. The sound is analysed on this device — nothing is recorded, and nothing is sent. While Listening is on the performance sounds somewhat different, the volume no longer goes all the way down, and AirPlay speakers cannot be chosen. Listening comes with Pro. Leave it running while you work, read or rest. Background Playback keeps it going when you leave the app, Prevent Auto-Lock keeps the picture awake, and the corner buttons can be hidden while still working where they are. A quick guide is built in. WorldTuning is free with a banner ad. Pro, a one-time in-app purchase, removes the ad and unlocks every setting and recording. The Sound sheet is fully available without Pro.
