rrarrow vs Sound Terrain

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

Sound Terrain turns a field of colored cells into a small instrument. Tap to switch notes on and off, brush across the surface to strum, or hold to capture up to eight seconds of sound and release it across the terrain. Explore dust, wind, clicks, drones, bells and plucks. Spread two fingers to reshape a short tape loop. Draw an L for an echo, or trace a circle to leave a repeating phrase. Double-tap to mute a sound type. Your samples return as scattered grains, reverse playback and vocoder-like textures. Use rec to record a performance, then save or share the audio. Tilt your iPhone to send particles through the field, or enable camera brightness control to change speed and pitch by covering and uncovering the lens. Choose a palette or let colors follow the time of day. English and Chinese interfaces are included. Sound synthesis and recording work offline. No account, advertising or subscription. Microphone, camera and motion controls are optional. Samples are temporary and cleared by reset or closing the app process; exported performances remain wherever you save them. Playback pauses in the background.
