Acid - Free 303 emulation with TR808/TR909 drum machines

12/17/2017

It is for free with no publicity and that is always good, specially if looking for some acid sounds that is bundled together with some drum machines.

Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.acid

Realtime emulation of a Roland TB303 synthesizer, TR808 and TR909 drum machines.
Draw in notes, adjust the sound parameters with knobs, auto create random patterns.
High end device required or it will sound like clicks and pops!

Play on your computer as a downloadable Java jar:
http://bit.ly/2A73L0z

Contribute to the development:
http://github.com/raver1975/Acid

Please go ahead and share your creations with me, because I love acid grooves.

A couple hints:
There are three stacks, the Sequencer stack, the Drum stack, and the Knob stack. Use the little buttons to push to or restore from the stack, or click directly on pattern to discard the top layer.

When the "Free" button is activated, the knobs won't change or record, and the pattern doesn't advance to the next one in the song. You can kind of freestyle it.

Watch out for earburns.

Grainstorm - Updated with more effects and goodness

12/14/2017

Grainstorm got updated about two weeks ago and once more the other day.
It was deep before and have really developed the last year to become what I think one of the most interesting apps for Android. When it comes to granular synthesis there is nothing that comes close and with four tracks and a lot of effects and filters etc there is crazy much that can be done. It needs a decent device though.

Soniface now with Sampler module and Eight new Tutorials

12/10/2017

Soniface is a little bit of a hard nut to crack and think that these eight tutorials will help.
It is also great that it now can import and record samples to use in a new sampler module.

SunVox - SloBo - Bowed Strings synth

12/10/2017

I like synthesized string instruments and this one sounds more expressive than most.
Here is the explanation stolen directly from the post in the SunVox forum (where also a link to the instrument is.

SloBo - a synth made purely with SunVox modules, no samples involved. It's my personal study case of synthesizing a raw approximation of bowed instruments and learning about the articulation techniques of cellos, violins & Co. It's called SloBo because as of now it allows only relatively slow bowing articulation. Future versions or derivations might include other playing styles (need to dig deeper into the topic).

Important note: The patches below were not tested with any traditional MIDI keyboard. They were designed for Linnstrument in first place. They expect ModWheel and Aftertouch action for successful expression.

ModWheel - sets the vibrato speed, from rather slow to faster, both set by ear to sound as human as possible
Aftertouch - tries to imitate harder bowing

While playing a single voice, you should avoid playing legato otherwise it will sound too synthetic while 'gliding' between notes, so always lift one finger before pushing another note. But this prevents faster playing.

Ideally you would play the 4 voices patch, each voice on it's own channel (1-4). This will give you smoother overlaps between notes and will sound more natural.

All resources about cello/violin synthesis I've studied so far are having one thing in common, they all state that the key is the playing technique. And it seems to be true. Sometimes these patches can sound pretty acceptable, other times, when screwing the technique, they simply sound too artificial. Anyway, SunVox is so much fun! Thank you Alex for the latest update which opens the MPE world!

Momentum - App by Cakewalk... That seems doomed to fail!

12/5/2017

Why write about this?
It is made by Cakewalk that used to be a big thing in the computerized music making.
So it feels that it is something thatt should be mentioned. Meaning that it is/was an important brand and they are getting into Android...

Gibson bought it and read that they are not going to develop the Cakewalk brand anymore.
If that is true this app makes even less sense.
Ahhh it is also based on a subscription model!
That always seems to work wonders for people to want to engage with an app!
It is not even an interesting app, the whole idea is that there is four channels to record snippets of audio that can be uploaded to the net... Hmm yes sign me up at once.
Four channels of short pieces of unfinished ideas.
The main idea is that you can use a VST to drag your recordings from the interwebs directly into a DAW but how hard is it to use an app with much more possibilities and just transfer audio into a computer?

Sometimes there is wonderment of how people sit and spend money and resources (being a bigger company and not a lonely developer) on something like this.

Like that they were even so lazy that for the Android version they leave iOS in the description...
Also tasty reviews if you do not feel discouraged yet...
At least there is a limited version to try first.
