RocketVerb vs Bungee

RocketVerb is a creative algorithmic reverb for iPhone and iPad, designed to transform instruments, vocals and recordings into spaces that move, bloom and evolve. Its character was shaped through the study of public space audio, planetary recordings and astronomical data sonifications. Their spectral movement, density and texture were translated into 38 internal profiles. RocketVerb does not replay those recordings as samples or fixed impulse responses. Every reverb tail is synthesized in real time. SHAPE YOUR SPACE Use five focused controls to build the foundation of the reverb: - Pre separates the original sound from the reverb bloom. - Density moves from open reflections to smooth clouds. - Length controls the duration of the tail. - Size changes the perceived scale of the environment. - Shape moves between tight, blooming and suspended responses. MOVE THROUGH THE GALAXY The interactive Galaxy cursor modifies distance, brightness, motion, scatter and the balance between early reflections and the tail with a single two-dimensional gesture. SIX CREATIVE EFFECTS - Radiation adds energy, mass and charged texture. - Orbit introduces stereo movement and subtle pitch drift. - Filter shapes the tonal range of the processed signal. - Granular Cloud transforms audio into layered, evolving slices. - Comet Trails creates rhythmic and atmospheric delay repetitions. - Dust introduces organic noise, texture and movement. Granular Cloud and Comet Trails include interactive 8-step patterns and can process either the direct input or the reverb signal. INFINITE FREEZE Capture the current atmosphere and keep it circulating indefinitely. Release Freeze to return smoothly to the live reverb tail. 144 FACTORY PRESETS Explore eight categories covering practical mix spaces, cinematic environments, orbital motion, granular textures, dusty planetary colors and deep ambient tails. Save your own presets directly from the app. AUv3 AND STANDALONE Use RocketVerb as an AUv3 effect in compatible hosts such as GarageBand, Logic Pro for iPad, AUM and Cubasis, or run it as a standalone app with a microphone or connected audio interface. SOURCE DISCLOSURE Some public NASA audio and sonification material was used as source material during development. This factual disclosure does not imply NASA review, approval, sponsorship, endorsement or affiliation. RocketVerb is an independent ZAK Sound product. The original recordings are not replayed by the app.

Bungee turns your iPhone and iPad into a musical instrument. Touch the screen to play a granular synthesizer, pluck glowing stripes like strings, and let sequences and drum beats play along. No music theory needed: every note fits the scale, so everything you play sounds musical. PLAY THE PLATE Every finger sprays clouds of tiny grains of sound. Move left and right to travel through the sound, up and down to change the grain size, press harder for denser clouds and swipe fast for stutter bursts. Up to ten fingers play at once. PLUCK, HOLD AND STRETCH STRIPES The stripes behave like strings. Pluck them, hold them to sustain, stretch them until they snap, or bow them with a slow swipe. Hold one stripe with up to four fingers and pull: the note rises as it stretches. Each stripe plays a note of the scale, and you can draw your own. THROW THE NODES Nodes sit on the stage and play whenever a stripe touches them. Drag them into place, or flick one and it flies across the stage, bouncing off the edges and plucking every stripe it crosses. TWENTY LOOKS, ONE INSTRUMENT Pick a theme and the whole app changes with it, from the stage to the menus, and Settings shows each one with a preview. ASCII terminal green (the default), Teletype ink on paper, Watercolor washes, black-and-white Noir, ringing Bronze, Blueprint drafting lines, Glass over an aurora, Mosaic tiles, 8-bit Handheld and Arcade, liquid Chrome, white Clay, Neo Brutalism, Acid neon, Pixel, Op Art, a Thermal heat camera, Glacier satellite maps, Orbit planets and Bubble. Your home-screen icon follows the theme too. 82 READY-TO-PLAY INSTRUMENTS Every template is a complete instrument with its own sound, stripes, effects and sequence, laid out on shelves: Techniques, Weird, Ambient, Melodic, Beats, Drums and Glitch. Each template opens in a look picked to fit it. Long-press one to preview or star it, start a New project on an empty stage, or take the nine-step guided tour. PLAY REAL MATERIALS The Techniques shelf teaches a way to play on a material that sounds like the real thing: steel strings to slide, singing glass to rub, rubber bands to stretch, a nylon harp to swipe, a musical saw and a bronze singing bowl to bow, coil springs, icicles, bamboo chimes, water drops and a talking drum whose pitch bends under your finger. WEIRD: IDM AND GLITCH Beat-led IDM templates: drill'n'bass, chopped breaks, acid, braindance and glitch, with growling Reese bass, modem leads, FM tines and stuttering pads. RECORD, UNDO, TRANSFORM Record what you play and share it straight away. Undo and redo anything. Three big controls, Glitch, Space and Tone, transform any template in one move, and Mutate varies the running sequence. DRUM MACHINES BUILT IN Ten drum templates play real beats: footwork, house, boom bap, bongos, metal, wood, chiptune, IDM clicks, water drums and half-time trap. Play along on the stripes. SOUND NODES AND SAMPLES Drop sample, synth, noise and drone nodes on the stage and play them by holding or dragging. Use 13 built-in samples (kalimba, felt piano, Rhodes, tape choir, rain and more) or import your own from Files: WAV, MP3, M4A, AIFF, FLAC and OGG. SEQUENCER Pick a pattern and a tempo, or open Advanced for the step grid, Euclidean and Turing patterns, swing and direction. EFFECTS AND MIXER Reverb, delay, phaser and drive, balanced in a touch-friendly mixer.
