rrarrow vs QUARK Play

rrarrow is the experimental noise machine / modular audio effect for the iOS featuring extended feedback capabilities. Key features: - Simplicity. The interface is simplified for faster assembly and more flexible connectivity — you can assemble your effect very fast and control all the processing parameters with the audio signal! - Feedback capabilities. You can add feedbacks to the audio chain to get some chaotic noise sounds . - 20 blocks for audio processing: - Sine generator. Basic oscillator with sine waveform - Saw and square oscillators - Signal multiplier - Delay - Frequency shifter - Envelope follower - “Lorenz attractor” - Quantizer - Sample-and-hold - Reverb - Special Lowpass filter - Clipper - Nonlinear shaper (for self-oscillating circuit) - two special waveshaping modules with “fold” and “wrap” distortion blocks that work with audiofiles: - lookup table. Loads up to 10 seconds of audiofile to be used as nonlinear transfer function - Players with/without interpolation and speed control - "scrub" block for semi-random granular file playback - Built-in audio recorder. Share the audio file to other applications or AudioShare. - MIDI support! Assign MIDI controllers to all faders. Supports network midi and has a virtual MIDI in. - Audiobus support. Now you can stream live audio directly to other Audiobus-compatible apps! See http://audiob.us for more information. Works as input and filter. - Audiobus state saving support - Inter-App Audio support - Background audio support: enabled when connected to Audiobus and user switchable otherwise. The 'background audio" switch is located in app's "settings" page iPad2/iPhone4S or newer is recommended for complex presets this app is optimized for iPad and iPhone 5 To get started please watch the tutorial videos on the website and read the user guide inside the app

QUARK Play easily transforms up to four iOS devices into a wireless, quadraphonic sound system. Place iPhones, iPads, and/or Macs around the space (or connect them to bluetooth speakers), hit play on the host device, and build a true, immersive surround sound environment anywhere. The Quadraphonic Universally Accessible Resource Kit (QUARK) is open source software used in Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) and similar platforms to encode four channels of discrete audio into two channel (standard stereo) audio, then back to four channels again. This allows for the distribution of four-channel spatial recordings via widely accessible two-channel formats such as vinyl, cassette, and radio, as well as digital platforms such as YouTube, Spotify, and Qobuz. QUARK is made possible by dublab & the National Endowment for the Arts.
