MRA Development has released two new apps for iOS: SoundMashine ($0.99 / £0.69) and A-Delay (Free).
SoundMashine is a granular synthesis-based sound sampling and sequencing instrument that utilizes multi-touch gestures to provide a fast and easy to use compositional tool.
The app records sound using the devices built-in microphone, then divides the sound into slices which are then automatically assigned to each of the 16 screen tiles.
Each tile has its own set of parameters allowing the user to adjust the sound slices window size, playback rate, pitch, feedback, delay, and delay modulation, all of which are easily set by the swipe of a finger. Each parameter listed can also be randomized between a set of assignable values.
Using the sequencer function patterns of tiles can be recorded and played back at different speeds, again using simple touch gestures.
A-Delay is a granular synthesis-based delay processing app, built with processing live audio input in mind - live input coming into the iPhone or iPad either through the built-in microphone or through an input cable is processed in real-time.
A-Delay also features adjustable window size, pitch shifting, feedback delay, delay modulation, and slider automation.
