posted yesterday but it seems folks like when videos are in the post?
here's a screen recording of Ravemaker for iOS < 2 min
there's more advanced sequencing like retrigger + probability
FREE with one time unlock for fx + advanced seq:

hey y'all
youtube demo for audio, starting at last minute for patterns + fx: https://youtu.be/eACuMpEncBo?si=9I27hcTvYjxrxhX2&t=476
walkthrough from beginning (but also optional tutorials are in the app)
if this counts as spam, let me know and i'll take it down!
Ravemaker features:
- 303 synth w/ diode filter emulation + step sequencer with accent and slide
- each project can have 8 1-bar patterns
- tap smiley -> drum sequencer. samples are swappable.
- all synth params are controllable
- 5 track mixer with FX send to global bus + Stereo Chorus / Tape Delay / Plate Reverb (Lexicon-style Dattorro)
- sequencer features probability, velocity, retrigger (up to 4x 1/64th notes)
- per row fill modes with Euclidean fills as well
i've been building music applications as a hobby for a while, but am now releasing them to the public. i'm a professional audio dev by day working on consumer music player hardware for 12+ years, and hold a PhD in acoustics.
so before this gets dismissed as vibe-coded (as the UI glue in Swift used Claude to generate code), those are my qualifications.
my first two iOS apps are out: Ravemaker + Harmonique. over 1/3 of the downloads seem to be on iPad, so folks seem to like it for that.

dev notes:
the 303 and FX were made in Faust and converted to C,
and the sequencer is written in Rust and linked into Swift. it uses lookahead and lock-free queues to handle updates.
needless to say, high performance is an absolute priority for me here.
