Real-Time Granular Synthesis Meets iPad
ApeSoft iDensity is designed for asynchronous sound file granulation, offering iPad users a genuine granular playground able to generate a wide range of effects, from common to downright weird. These effects include time / pitch shifting, time / pitch jittering, intricate textures, grain fountain / pulverizer, recording and manipulation of buffers, complex scrub pad exploration, dynamic envelope shaping, and many more.
As apeSoft notes, iDensity for iPad will give you all the basic and advanced tools you need to manipulate sound in subtle and surprising ways. All these features are packed in an optimized, user-friendly, visually sharp interface that is easy to access when improvising live, composing in a studio, or sound designing at home and on the go.
The iDensity app allows you to record audio directly with your iPad mic and load up to nine built-in sound samples or add your own WAV, AIFF, CAF, MP3, M4A or MP3 files via iTunes. Moreover, iDensity makes it possible to record the stereo output (of granulation) into the documents folder while scrubbing in the wavepad or moving granulation parameters in real-time. The mixdown / audio results can then be synchronized with iTunes.
