Top iOS music apps of 2015

Top 10 iOS music apps of 2015 - the Music App Blog selection

"2015 has certainly been another eventful year of iOS music making. As ever, we have had to deal with the annual cycle of both hardware and software updates from Apple. 

We have seen some of our favourite iOS music apps updated – and I’ll perhaps give a few of my personal highlights later – but we have also had the introduction of a brand new crop of brilliant iOS music apps.

So, if Christmas delivered your first iOS device, and you are looking to populate it with some of the best apps of 2015, which apps should you choose? I’ll add the same qualifier here as I’ve done in previous years; any ‘top apps’ list is bound to be a totally subjective selection but, if you want the Music App Blog take on the top ten app highlights of the last 12 months, then here goes..."

The FieldScaper consists of two main parts. The first part is the field recorder with special options for different ways of record environmental sound from microphone or record other sound sources. The second part is the scaper sound engine that with using dynamic presets can easily transform the most ordinary samples into something absolutely different. These parts connect with each other into one whole but you can use recorder or scaper separately.

The scaper sound engine contains three sample-based oscillators each with filters, delay, distortion and spatial mixer. The most of parameters can be assigned on individual low-frequency oscillators. With using the "Main effect" fader you can control several these parameters in different ranges. These features give you the abilty to create continuously changing, breaking and glitching sound forms and loop-based effects from ordinary samples of synths, guitars, voices or everyday sounds of the environment.

FieldScaper supports complete MIDI control for all faders, knobs and many buttons. You can change the parameters of oscillators, filters, delays and mixer by using any external MIDI controller or MIDI apps like sequencers. With the MIDI controllers this app becomes very comfortable to use at live performance.

Source samples were created special for SoundScaper app by using several digital and analogue synthesizers and effect units.

All recordings were made with analogue mixing console on multitrack tape machine. Final mix also was made on the two track tape. Digitizing and post processing on iPad with apps Master Record and Audio Mastering.
