Microwave 1 App Description

Waldorf's famous Microwave 1 synthesiser faithfully emulated in an iPad app including an AUv3 extension. 35 years ago Waldorf Music released its first instrument, the Microwave, which took the hearts of the leading musicians and producers of the nineties by storm. Its vibrate and distinctive sound transported the early wavetable sounds of the eighties into the rising electronic dance music of the following decade. Massive base lines, enigmatic wavetable modulations, brutal attacks and pads smooth like silk have been inspired generations of musicians. Microwave’s unique interpretation of wavetable synthesis combined with analogue filters defined what hybrid synthesis is at its best. Now’s the time to bring back this magical instrument in a software form into the hands of producers and musicians world-wide. The Waldorf Microwave 1 app was painstakingly recreated from the original hardware with all its idiosyncrasies and wonderful singularities. A multi-year effort and a labor of love which analyzed and modeled the original instruments down to the finest sonic details of every aspect of the hardware. Only the first generation of the Microwave and also the Waldorf Wave were based on a custom developed integrated circuit called the Waldorf ASIC. In combination with the legendary Curtis filter chips and a very unique 68k CPU based controller software the ASIC defined a very special flavor of wavetable sound unparalleled to none. No one else than the inventor of Wavetable Synthesis of the eighties, Wolfgang Palm, helped to design this unique chip. Waldorf took a huge effort to analyze and recreate this integrated circuit within the app. As the original, the app runs the internal synthesis with the ultra high sampling rate of 250 kHz regardless of the iPad's sampling rate. The recreated digital waveforms have been bit-by-bit compared with the original to be 100% identical. Digital Section (ASIC) - Internally running with 250 kHz sampling rate to match original ASIC sampling rate. - Modeling of digital-to-analog converters for each voice (DAC). - Two oscillators based on same wavetable per multi instrument. - Unique digital noise generator based on ASIC technology. - Digital mixer of oscillators and noise based on original ASIC including overflow bug. - Faithful recreation of non-interpolated pitch generation. Wavetables - All original wavetables of Microwave 1 based on the original coding and bit-identical to original. - Including algorithmic and speech wavetables. - Faithful recreation of 8-bit quantization and aliasing. - Easy to use wavetable editor based on internal control tables. - Full waveform catalogue of original instrument can be accessed. - User waveform editor. Filter - Faithful modeling of revision A and B analogue filters. - Voice individual calibration of cutoff and resonance to model detuned hardware. - Cutoff and resonance modulations. - Frequency response graphic animated by live modulations Amplifier - Modeling of voltage controlled analogue amplifiers and panning section. - Faithful recreation of control voltage DACs including stepping effects.

HeadStack App Description

HeadStack is a multi-head tape delay inspired by the character, movement and musicality of classic magnetic echo machines, reimagined for modern production. At its heart is a virtual tape loop with 8 independently configurable playback heads. Each head can be positioned, levelled and panned to create everything from vintage slap-back echoes and rhythmic repeats to vast stereo soundscapes and evolving ambient textures. While HeadStack captures the warmth and unpredictability of classic tape systems, it is not limited by their mechanical constraints. Individual heads can be modulated, filtered, diffused, pitch-shifted and transformed into granular playback engines, opening up a palette that ranges from authentic analogue echoes to shimmering harmonies and cinematic atmospheres. The tape itself becomes an instrument. Rotate the head wheel to continuously reposition playback points, stretch the spacing between heads, introduce head loss, or create cascading feedback networks that evolve with every repeat. Independent filtering, stereo placement and modulation allow each head to develop its own character within the delay line. You can even play sequences Into HeadStack and freeze it using your hold pedal and continue to play over the top. Whether you’re searching for vintage tape ambience, rhythmic multi-tap delays, lush granular harmonies or experimental feedback textures, HeadStack combines the soul of a classic tape echo with the flexibility of a modern creative effects processor. Welcome to a new generation of tape delay. HeadStack Features: Multi-Head Tape Engine - Create complex rhythmic delays using multiple independently controllable playback heads running on a shared virtual tape loop. Vintage Character - Capture the warmth, movement and musical imperfections of classic tape echo machines with adjustable tape loss, filtering and feedback behavior. Independent Head Control - Each playback head features its own level, pan, timing offset and tonal shaping, allowing intricate delay patterns and evolving stereo textures. Rotating Head Wheel- Continuously reposition or stretch the virtual head arrangement to create shifting rhythms, moving echoes and dynamic performance effects. Granular Harmony Engine - Transform individual heads into pitch-shifted granular voices, generating harmonies, octave layers and shimmering textures directly from the tape loop. Per-Head Modulation - Add movement and expression with independent modulation of playback position, spacing, tremolo and stereo placement. Creative Feedback Routing - Choose between traditional multi-head feedback or route feedback from a specific playback head for unique echo patterns and evolving repeats. Diffusion & Smearing - Blend between precise rhythmic echoes and spacious, atmospheric washes using integrated diffusion processing. Deep Stereo Imaging - Create anything from focused mono echoes to wide immersive soundscapes with per-head panning, Haas delay and stereo enhancement controls. Performance Ready - Designed for real-time interaction, encouraging hands-on manipulation of head positions, modulation and feedback while performing. Precision & Experimentation - Dial in authentic tape echoes, lush ambient delays or push the engine into unpredictable granular and feedback-driven territories. Modern Workflow - Combines the immediacy of classic hardware with the flexibility, recall and precision expected from a contemporary audio plugin. Interactive Head Wheel - Grab and rotate the virtual head wheel to reposition playback heads, create evolving delay patterns and perform dramatic tape-style scrubbing effects. Dynamic Tape Warping- Enable Rotate and Stretch modes to continuously morph the spacing and timing between playback heads, transforming static echoes into living, breathing rhythmic textures. Freeze Buffer - Freeze the contents of the audio buffer using a foot pedal, capture ideas and play over the top.

Backrooms Piano App Description

Step out of reality and into a sample-based instrument built for the space between rooms: faded pianos, uneasy pads, room tones and half-remembered melodies. Made for liminal space, dreamcore and the particular dread of a place that's empty when it shouldn't be. Whether you're scoring analogue horror, building dreamcore loops, or just want a keyboard that sounds wrong in interesting ways, Backrooms Piano gives you a deep, atmosphere-first instrument designed around four custom effects. SOUND DESIGN, NOT JUST SAMPLES Presets are grouped into Keys, Pads, Soundscapes and Ambience, each one built to sit somewhere between familiar and not quite right. FOUR EFFECTS BUILT FOR THE GENRE LAPSE: tape-motor drift and seasick wobble, like old machinery losing its grip WEAR: ages the sound, rolling off the top end and adding instability and dust ROOM: from close and dry to a washed-out, oversized reverb DISTANCE: pulls the source away, softening the highs and revealing a filtered echo behind it FULL PERFORMANCE CONTROL A velocity-sensitive, multi-touch keyboard with octave shifting and note latch for hands-free drones and pads. Full ADSR shaping on pitched presets, so you can go from a natural attack to slow, creeping swells. BUILT FOR IPHONE AND IPAD Backrooms Piano runs as a standalone app on both iPhone and iPad, so you can explore ideas, audition presets and play live wherever you are. IMPORTANT: RECORDING REQUIRES AN AUv3 HOST The standalone app is for playing and exploring sounds. It does not record, sequence or save what you play on its own. To record your performance, sequence it, or automate parameters, you need to open Backrooms Piano as an AUv3 instrument inside a host app such as GarageBand, AUM, Cubasis, Logic Pro, or any other AUv3-compatible host. If you want to keep what you play, make sure you have a host app installed before you buy. More presets are on the way in future updates.

OtherDesertCities App Description

Other Desert Cities is a multi-mode delay plugin built for sound designers, producers, and anyone who thinks regular delays are getting a little boring. Named after the famous sign on the I-10 leaving Los Angeles, Other Desert Cities takes you down less-traveled roads. Six algorithms, each with its own distinct personality. A full suite of modulation. A diffuser that smears feedback toward reverb. And gain-structure controls deep enough to duck, pan, and route almost anything. ALGORITHMS Desert Shores — a clean dual stereo delay with saturation, filtering, spread, and crossfeed. Mecca — a reverse delay with smooth crossfading and an optional Reflect mode that alternates playback direction on each repeat. Cactus — a dual-delta delay. Each side runs as a variable-speed looper, playing forward or backward at any speed from zero to 2x, with pitch quantized to octaves, fifths, or semitones. Thermal — a multi-tap delay with up to sixteen equally-spaced taps per side, each with its own level. Mirage — a variable-speed multi-head delay inspired by the 1967 Eltro Information Rate Changer. One to four rotating heads play through a circular buffer at any speed from -2 to +2. Sky Valley — a granular delay with independent control over grain size, scatter, and pitch randomization. Transpose from three octaves down to one octave up. MODULATION Two tempo-syncable LFOs with variable shape and skew, plus an envelope follower with sidechain input. Almost every parameter in the plugin can be modulated. Click any knob and assign modulation depth from each of the three sources independently. DIFFUSER A diffusion processor sits inside the feedback path, with controls for size, diffusion amount, modulation rate and depth, and a dedicated low-cut filter. At high settings it takes the delay into reverb territory, especially paired with the Thermal algorithm. LEVELS Full input/output gain control, stereo width, independent delay pan, regeneration balance, and wet balance. Input level and mute sit before the delay block, so the plugin works correctly as both an insert and a send, with proper tails behavior. PRESETS Factory presets from Chris Randall, Matthew Lyon, Red Means Recording, and Time Rival, plus a cross-platform XML-based preset manager with import, export, and clipboard paste. FEATURES Six distinct delay algorithms Two LFOs and an envelope follower with sidechain Diffuser with independent modulation Tempo sync on delay times and LFO rates Delay times up to two seconds free, ten seconds synced Cross-platform XML preset format AUv3 and standalone Also available for macOS, Windows, and Linux in VST3, AU, AAX, and CLAP formats from Audio Damage.

Gauss Field Looper App Description

Co-designed with Berlin-based electronic musician Hainbach, Gauss brings the oldschool tape-looping art form to mobile devices. This creative field looper works both standalone and as an Audio Unit effect plugin and puts the possibilities of using looped tapes in your hands. Without the need for scissors. Like real tape loops Gauss takes you off the grid of your DAW: you can adjust tape speed and direction, even during recording. The flow of your loops will drift organically as the tape follows its own cyclical timeline. Use overdub, or even multiple instances of the Audio Unit plugin, to create multi-layered ever changing sonic palettes. We want this app to be a celebration of digital audio technology, so when audio quality is degraded it will do so in a pleasingly crunchy digital way. For example, recording on low tape speeds will give you longer recording time, but at the cost (or pleasure) of a distinctively lower recording quality. So Gauss mimics the behaviour - not the sound - of magnetic tape. Set the length of the tape, record and overdub your audio, play around with tape speeds; Gauss captures the essence of two ends of tape stuck together in all its unsynchronised, free-running glory. There's even a unique built-in 4-step polyrhythmic sequencer for sequencing tape-speed changes. - designed as a standalone field recorder and an Audio Unit effect plugin (AUv3) in one package - universal app: plugin and standalone work on all iDevices, iOS11 and higher - variable tape speed; seamlessly change direction and speed during playback or recording - 4-step sequencer lets you trigger (polyrhythmic) tape-speed changes in sync with your host tempo - variable inertia for the tape drive motors (from instant to very slow speed changes) - built-in multi-mode filter with LFO modulation - delay effect with optional host-sync mode - “1989” mode uses a special 8 bit/11KHz tape head for a last-century vintage digital sound - 45 seconds maximum loop size at 1x speed, proportionally longer at lower speeds (.e.g 90 seconds at half speed, etc.) - overdub at any speed or tape direction - plugin supports global cross-host preset handling (requires iOS13+, compatible AUv3 host) Find the user manual at ruismaker.com

AeroPads - Pads & Soundscapes App Description

Have you ever struggled to find confidence on stage or inspiration in the studio? AeroPads cues immersive pads and soundscapes that inspire and equip you to perform and write your best. ENHANCE YOUR SOUND. ENGAGE YOUR AUDIENCE. Every musician has experienced an empty mix or an awkward transition. When using AeroPads, you instantly add more dimension and character to your sound. With a more immersive mix and the ability to perform smooth and seamless transitions, you will feel more confident while your audience will be more engaged. FOR EVERY MUSICIAN. Pads and soundscapes are a versatile accompaniment to nearly any style of music. Whether you are a soloist or full band, AeroPads will take your sound to the next level. Rock bands, worship teams, wedding singers, producers, songwriters, and instrumentalists are just a few of the many types of musicians that have loved using AeroPads. DESIGNED FOR THE STAGE. INSPIRED BY SPACE. AeroPads features creative and immersive soundscapes paired with a beautiful and intuitive interface, all inspired by the pinnacle of exploration and inspiration: outer space. CREATIVITY THAT SPARKS CREATIVITY. AeroPads aren't your typical pads. Most pads out there are really boring or insanely obnoxious. However, AeroPads features thoughtfully crafted soundscapes that are meticulously fine-tuned with the perfect amount of harmonic and textural movement. Simply put, AeroPads won't step on the toes of your arrangement or get on the nerves of your sound guy (like most other pads out there). Highlighted Features: - A beautiful space-inspired interface with a simple and intuitive design. - Live View: Every key and three of your favorite patches are instantly accessible (best suited for experimentation, free-flowing sets, and songwriting). - Setlist View: Plan and build a detailed setlist (best suited for structured sets and seamless transitions). - The iconic Atmosphere Soundpack which includes five unique patches named after and inspired by the layers of Earth's atmosphere. - Three patches can be added to Live View to be made instantly accessible, so there's no need to dig through menus to just to change a patch when performing live. - Additional patches and Soundpacks available for purchase. - Key-specific pads in multiple tonalities: major, minor, and neutral. - Concert pitch adjustment. How to Use: 01. Cue a pad that matches the key of your musical arrangement. 02. Play overtop of the accompanying pads and soundcapes. 03. Enjoy the boost of audience engagement, musician confidence, and creative inspiration. Pads and soundscapes are intended as a subtle accompaniment to musical arrangements/performances. They are designed to be cued according to the key of the arrangement. Once cued, you'll hear a droning pad centered around the root note with additional harmonic textures within the selected key. The only time a pad's key should change within a song is in the instance of a key change. For best results, mix AeroPads appropriately within the overall mix. When mixed too loud, AeroPads may compete with melodies and the arrangement. When mixed too quietly, AeroPads may be less effective. When mixed appropriately, they will sound awesome.

Pond - Ripple Sequencer App Description

Pond is a MIDI sequencer built on one simple idea: drop a stone in the water and let the wave play the notes. Every cell of the pond is a note. Tap anywhere and a ripple expands from your finger; as its wave front crosses each cell, that note sounds. Where you tap, what notes you've planted, and how the waves overlap becomes the music. Tap with several fingers for several waves. Hold a finger still and you plant an emitter: a spring that keeps dripping ripples in time, on its own. It plays better than it has any right to. Generate a fresh pond in any of nine scales and a key of your choosing, set an octave range, paint notes by hand with the floating paint bar, and let it run. Turn on wave interference and the ripples behave like real water: overlapping crests play louder, a crest meeting a trough plays softer or cancels to silence, so the dynamics emerge from the physics, and you can see them bloom in the water. Pond has a built-in 16-voice synth, so it makes sound the moment you open it, no setup. It also speaks MIDI to everything else: pick your USB, Bluetooth, or network synths from a dropdown and Pond plays them directly, send notes to other apps, or load it as an AUv3 MIDI plugin in AUM, Logic, and Cubasis where it follows the host tempo and saves with your session. Calm, organic, and made for the iPad. - Tap-to-ripple sequencing across a grid of notes - Multi-touch and Apple Pencil - Persistent emitters that drip in time - 9 scales, key, octave range, quantize, wall reflections - Wave interference: overlapping ripples add, cancel, and shape the dynamics - Built-in 16-voice synth + 24 preset slots - Plays your synths and hardware directly over USB, Bluetooth, or network MIDI - CoreMIDI source and AUv3 MIDI plugin (host-tempo aware) - Collects no data; nothing leaves your iPad

FALSE MEMORY App Description

FALSE MEMORY is a real-time audio disintegration effect. Feed it any sound and watch it decay. A tape left in the sun. A corrupted file half-recovered from a dead drive. A memory dissolving as you try to hold onto it. Turn up MEMORY and the destruction begins. Everything else shapes how the sound falls apart. DESTRUCTION ENGINE The Analog / Digital slider is the soul of the effect. Slide left for warm, organic decay: Cassette wobble, Reel-to-reel saturation, VHS tracking errors. Slide right for cold, precise corruption: Lo-fi aliasing, Circuit-bent glitches, Data-mosh block artifacts. Drift destabilizes pitch and timing. At low settings it breathes. Cranked up, the signal loses its grip on reality. Damage controls how aggressively the signal gets torn apart. ATMOSPHERE Fog smears the frequency spectrum into clouds. Three modes: Tonal keeps harmonic structure intact, Inharmonic scatters it, Evolving slowly morphs between the two. Ghosts lets past audio bleed through the current signal. Echoes repeat rhythmically. Imprints leave residual traces. Granular scatters fragments across time. TEXTURE Hiss adds tape noise, from subtle warmth to a roaring floor. Crackle introduces vinyl pops and surface damage. SET IT AND FORGET IT Evolve lets the destruction deepen automatically over time. Pick a duration from 1 to 64 minutes. Walk away. Come back to something completely different. The Randomize button rerolls all destruction parameters instantly. Hit it until something clicks. AUv3 plugin for iOS. Runs in AUM, GarageBand, Logic, and any AUv3 host. Standalone app for iPhone and iPad. From All The Machines.
