Exploring a sample based generative music app – Caelestis
http://apps4idevices.com/read/caelestis
Caelestis is a sample based generative music app that creates unique and very interesting results. It uses bouncing balls that generate notes as they bounce off the walls of the three different shaped rooms. The sound balls can be initiated at any velocity, and the shaped rooms can be rotated at different speeds to create interesting combinations. Each sample can be pitched by semitone increments, and assigned to one of three octave ranges. It is a free app with a $0.99 in-app purchase for importing and exporting samples and recordings. I should note that all file management is accessed through the Audio Copy section, and for referencing tempo, you need to run a drum app in the background. But I have to say that I find this app to be very impressive, with a great range of features, and it’s very easy to use. The unique layers of sounds and rhythms really make Caelestis … A Killer App!

Soundiron Intros Ambius 2: Systematik Atmospheric Synth
SoundIron has introduced Ambius 2: Systematik – a flexible and adaptive sample based atmospheric synth, details below:
We wanted a broad collection of richly nuanced flavors with the ability to freely layer, blend and reshape a wide mix of percussive, tonal and textural elements into custom multi-layered dynamic and evolving instruments. We wanted a unified and powerful interface to combine detailed performance and tone shaping controls with a wide pallet of experimental and environmental convolution effects. We wanted a built-in tempo-locking step-sequenced filter and LFO engine that could be adapted to just about any other GUI control parameter on the fly without missing a beat. Ambius 2 is all of that and much more.
Here’s a video introduction to Ambius 2:
A detailed walk-through video and tutorial of Soundiron’s new Ambius 2: Systematik library. This cutting-edge hybrid synthetic/organic lead, pad, texture and ambience design library is built on powerful new adaptive groove-building tools and inspiring performance shaping features that you won’t find anywhere else. Create and tweak your own multi-layered instrument concepts with nearly 5GB of freely mixable content and dozens of unique presets, each with nearly limitless creative potential.

Arturia Minibrute – Mini Brute Drums For Ableton Live
Here’s a nice treat from AfroDJMac featuring samples from the Minibrute, details below:
This free Ableton Live Pack features drum sounds created from samples of the Arturia MiniBrute. More specifically, I resampled sounds from the MegaBrute Collection for Ableton Live ( http://afrodjmac.com/2012/11/07/megabrute-ableton-live-pack/ ) and created some odd and unique drum samples. From there I organized them into Ableton’s drum rack and added various effects. All in all it is 24 different drum sounds all created from the analog beauty that is the Arturia Mini Brute!

Demo: Commodore 64 Synthesizer Sessions DELUXE
This is a video demonstration of Commodore 64 Synthesizer Sessions DELUXE, a KVR Developer Challenge 2012 entry created by Bedroom Producers Blog and Rhythmic Robot.
Commodore 64 Synthesizer Sessions DELUXE is a free sample library for Kontakt 4, SFZ and Zampler. It contains 411 audio samples recorded directly from three different versions of the Commodore 64 home computer.
Download: http://www.kvraudio.com/kvr-developer-challenge/2012/#dc12-6588
The Commodore 64 Synthesizer Sessions Deluxe sample library contains 30 individual instrument patches. These patches cover a range of well known Commodore 64 era video game sounds, as well as some classic synth sounds which were recreated using the SID chip.
Our goal was to capture the true character of the SID chip, from its beautiful analog filter to the gritty digital oscillators. The 30 included patches are only a starting point, from which the users can further sculpt the sounds using the included SFZ, NKI and Zampler mappings.
