Hey !

I make Reverie, a soundscape generator that's been on Mac, Windows and Linux for a while. The thing people asked me for most was an iPad version, so I spent the last few months building it. It's out now on iPadOS.

What it does: you bring in a sound (a sample, a loop, a track, a field recording) and Reverie generates a long, evolving ambient piece out of it. Feed it the same ten seconds twice and you get two different results, each one drifting and shifting over several minutes. It's built to be an instrument you play with, not a single effect you run once.

The basic loop is quick. Drop a file in from Files, pick one of the sound styles, then shape it with four sliders: variation, brightness, stretch, duration. It leans ambient, but people have been feeding it drum loops and acoustic material too, and it does something good with percussion.

It's free to download. The free version comes with six styles and a set of presets, which is enough to get a real feel for it. One optional Pro unlock (a single purchase, no subscription ever) opens up the full library of 20+ styles, renders up to 30 minutes, a seed system if you want to reproduce a result exactly, and a build-your-own chain of 37 effects: spectral freeze, shimmer reverb, tape saturation, resonators, and so on.

Everything runs on device. No account, no connection, nothing leaves your iPad, and what you make is royalty-free.

If you'd rather see it work before installing, The Sound Test Room recorded a full run-through at launch: https://youtu.be/74UvnSDZFec

Heads up: English isn't my first language, so I ran this through an LLM to translate it. Sorry if anything reads a little off.

This was my first time using Ambiotica (highly recommended). Beautiful granular ambient machine! The other stuff I’ve used wasn’t new to me but I’m still amazed how versatile they are (more specifically: Eventide Blackhole, OtherDesertCities and Rymdigare).

Basic setup and an unedited screen rec. using ableton link audio, aum , korg gadget / mic audio reactive shaders. basic blind test here nothing great.

It's pretty great but I have only had it for like 20 minutes and would love comments or questions to help figure this out together. RIYL.....If you have used shaders before, video synths, audio/midi reactive visuals, raspberry pi visual projects, eyesy, zwobot, ebosuite, visual synths, staella, touch designer.

also it is Kymatica developer of AUM so probably worth the early bird pricing just for support of him

Hello! I'll get right to the point: I would like to use my iPad as a live music mixer and sequencer with two external synths, a microphone and some soft synth plugins. I reeeally like koala sampler and have been trying to figure out a way to use it and it's great effects but have been struggling to get it to work (this might be a me issue though so if you have thoughts please let me know!) Also yes I'm aware that a sp404mk2 would probably be the best choice but I'm broke atm and sold mine a while ago.

My hardware:

- iPad air M2

- Steinberg UR44 audio interface

- anker USB hub (this might be one of my main issues)

- Novation bass station 2

- elektron model: cycles

So essentially I would like to sequence the bass station from the iPad, have the model cycles play from the iPads clock, play samples from the iPad and use some soft synths, and have all of the audio go through the iPad where I can add effects and send it back through the audio interface. I've been trying out loopy pro but it is a bit janky, is there something else I'm missing? Do I need a powered USB hub (all the external gear is powered) or a camera kit?? Please help!

Thank you in advance!
