Land Waves vs jAmp Bleep
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Land Waves
This app generates sound waves from a 1D reaction-diffusion system simulation. It translates pixel brightness into audio frequencies, creating complex soundscapes from simple mathematical models found in nature.
- 1D reaction-diffusion system simulation
- Sonification of pixel brightness
- Generates complex soundscapes
- Mathematical models of natural fluid behaviors
- Translates pixel values to audio frequencies

Raw sonification of a 1D reaction diffusion system. Reaction diffusion systems are mathematical representations of the behaviours of fluids that can be found in nature. A key characteristic of these systems is that the initial parameters are simple but the resulting process can be extremely complex. Here, each pixel brightness affects the brightness in the corresponding pixel line. Frequencies of the sound waves are the sonification of these pixel values.
jAmp Bleep
This app is an AUv3 audio plugin that recreates the Bleep Bloop Machine. It offers MIDI control for its knobs, allowing users to manipulate sound and create music.
- AUv3 plugin
- Bleep Bloop Machine remake
- MIDI knob control
- Sound manipulation
