Great to see the progress around NAM A2. A huge thank you to Steven and Tone3000 for pushing the technology forward and making it accessible at a scale that enables developers like us to build new products and experiences. I’m excited to share that Neural Space will soon bring NAM-powered guitar processing to iPhone and iPad, along with capability that allows players to record video while their entire guitar rig is processed in real time.

The app will feature:

- Drives, compressors, noise gates, amplifiers, modulation effects, delays and reverbs.
- Amps placed on an interactive map by tonal similarity. Explore nearby sounds or move further away to discover something new.
- 1650 curated stock amp profiles.
- A digital audio workstation from a guitar players perspective. Record audio, capture video and play alongside backing tracks.
- Play your amp captures, the app will support NAM A1 and A2 profiles. Gravity parameter lets you alter your NAM profile for an enhanced experience.
- Tonematch EQ will match your sound to any desired tone.
- Perform live with Midi support over bluetooth or cable.

The app is currently under development. Follow us on @neural_space page for further updates.

hey yall

weve been cooking up something for a while at fourtrack.fm HQ called BRAINDANCE.

its a:
- audio effect AUv3 and standalone (maybe VST/CLAP at some point?)
- lets you make wild glitch/stutter fx on audio input
- also has significant performance possibilities on iOS glitch phrase launch, x/y control, and ratchet strip
- ideal for resampling in your workflow

its existed in some very primitive form on our free web DAW for a year or so, but ive been toying with the idea of it for iOS / auv3 for the past couple months

i know that historically glitch editing UIs have been kinda painful but ive tried to solve some of the issues i came across in the various VSTs

would love to hear your thoughts / questions, this should probably ready for an introductory offer within a couple weeks

if you want to get on a TestFlight feel free to DM me an email and I'll try to push something up to TestFlight ASAP.

I'm super happy to announce that I've released a new update for Polaris (available on iOS and Android). This update adds keyboard and scale features for pitch editing as well as stems export.

To get started with the keyboard:
- On the sequence page click the "mod" button under "pitch"
- Click on the keyboard icon in the bottom right to activate keyboard view
- Click on a keyboard note to select it
- Then click on steps to activate them and assign them that pitch

About the scale feature:
- From the keyboard view, click on "scale"
- Select a scale by dragging up or down. All new notes will be constrained to the scale you select
- If any existing notes are outside of the scale, the magnet button will be lit up. You can then press this button to snap existing notes to the scale
- You can also drag activated steps up or down to quickly create a new melody, constrained to that scale

If you have any question let me know. Otherwise I hope you enjoy the new features.

When I was preparing for my music school entrance exams, I struggled to find an ear training app that covered everything I wanted to practice.

So I decided to build my own.

I recently released PractEar, an app with exercises for intervals, chords, sight reading, rhythm, and more. I'm still actively improving it, and I'd love honest feedback from people who practice ear training regularly.

I also made a short video to show some of the features. The app is still in its early stages, so you might run into things that need improvement. If you notice anything, I'd really appreciate you letting me know.

If you give PractEar a try, I'd love to hear what you like, what you'd change, and what you think is still missing.

Thanks!

Hey everyone, first off thank you so much for the response to the launch post. The feedback, bug reports, and kind words genuinely meant a lot and went straight into these updates.

I included a general walkthrough video of the app so you can see it in action

I've been heads down this past week and a half addressing the most common issues people ran into.

Here's what's new:

New

Scores now use vector-backed pages and look significantly sharper on all displays, PDF export is sharper tooAria now has keyboard support, including shortcuts for copy/paste, navigation, note entry, transposition, duration, rests, dots, ties, slurs, and pitch movement
Added an Instrument Layout menu for showing, hiding, and reordering instruments
System breaks can now be manually removed
Overhauled playback system, now works better across different score types

Improved

Individual parts handling, including preserved formatting after iPad round-trips and safer part saving so parts don't get rebuilt or mismatched
System break and "keep bars together" behavior
Time signature, key signature, and pickup measure editing
Add Measures now uses a simpler +/− dialog
Tempo editing, chord entry, and note adjustment controls
Playback quality, loading, and audio/visual sync
Audio export performance
Header/footer page count rendering

Fixed

iOS 16 launch issue
Time signature and key signature detection
Coda/Segno symbols no longer open as editable text (but can still be deleted)
Hidden instruments no longer play back
Playback cursor sync and audio artifacts
More accurate notation rendering in various edge cases
Various other bug fixes and improvements
Still a lot more to do but this felt like a meaningful step forward. Keep the feedback coming! It’s directly shaping what I work on next.

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for a more beta testers for VoxEase, a vocal plugin Ive made that is currently in TestFlight.

The main thing I need feedback on right now is the Tuning functionality: how natural it sounds, how easy it is to use, whether the controls feel intuitive, and if there are any weird artifacts or edge cases when using it on different vocal takes.

What I’m looking for:
• General usability feedback
• Tuning feedback
• Any bugs, crashes, or confusing parts
• Suggestions for making the workflow better

It’s still in beta, so honest feedback is very welcome. You don’t need to write a huge report — even a few notes after trying it would help a lot.
If you’re interested, comment here or DM me and I’ll send over the TestFlight invite.
Thanks!

Hi!

Three weeks ago i posted here about TapeDesk (my 4-track tape-style recorder), and with the feedback i got i've just made a big update:

• AUv3: it now runs as a plugin inside AUM, Logic, etc. this was the most requested one.
• load other apps' AUv3 effects into the chain.
• import audio.
• 4 new effects (CRUSH, HAZE, WOBBLE, SHIMMER).
• record up to 12 inputs at once (with a USB interface).
• dark mode.

and a bunch more: clear track, reverse, loops, undo/redo, plus a lot of work on stability.

im a solo dev with a 8-to-5 job and i do this for fun. im not trying to compete with the serious DAWs, i just want to grow it little by little, based on what you tell me. so here's the (super vague) backlog im thinking about right now:

1. make it more self-contained, so you can build a whole song inside it, OP-1 style (load and play instruments, probably building the synth engines on top of Plaits).
2. add a "play" screen to mess with what you've recorded, live: retrigger, speed, punch-in style FX.

what do you think?

big thanks to everyone who gave feedback 🙏

Hi guys, this felt like the natural progression for me after VKO1, a wavetable synth engine that takes reactive .metal shaders and turns them into sound. For Mac+iOS, coming when it's ready, probably after the summer.

MESA turns shaders into wavetables — load a .metal pattern, hear its shape. Now it loads two and blends them. The color you pick doesn't just look different — it sounds different.
