Description
Improvise and create music playfully with the Reactable mobile. Based on the award winning Reactable as used by Björk on her Volta Tour, this application brings the full creative power of the famous interactive instrument onto your mobile device.
It uses concepts of modular synthesis, sampling, digital audio effects, DJing, and combines them with modern human computer interaction and multi-touch technology.
Based on the very same audio and graphics engine as the Reactable, the mobile version brings a complete range of objects to multi-touch devices:
A set of generator objects:
• loop players, with possibility to upload your own loops,
• synthesizers, with a large range of instruments to select from,
• oscillators, to synthesise pure and complex tones,
• input, to get audio directly from the device's microphone.
A set of effects to modify generated sounds:
• wave shapers: distortion, compression, and resampling,
• delays: reverb, feedback, and ping-pong,
• modulators: ring modulation, chorus, and flanger,
• filters: low pass, high pass, and band pass.
A set of controller objects to modify other objects parameters:
• sequencers, with step-by-step, matrix, or random modes,
• low frequency oscillators (LFO), with different waveforms,
• accelerometer, to fetch data from the movement of the device.
A set of global objects to modify the settings of the entire table:
• tempo, to change the speed of the table,
• volume, to lower or increase the loudness,
• tonalizer, to change the harmony of the melody.
Note: as this application uses both graphic and audio resources extensively, recent devices will provide the best user experience.
What's new in Version 1.0.8
New features and improvements:
• Integrate download table feature inside application
• Added Catalan, French, German, Italian and Spanish translations
• Several optimizations in the graphics engine
• Optimizations for loop player and audio engine in general
• Fixed problem with synth envelope
• Solved clicks on connection/disconnection
• Fixed rotation on iPad2
• Fixed several minor bugs
Object specific new features and bug fixes:
• Oscillator: Custom wave had a different frequency than the rest of the oscillators
• Loops:
- Use less memory
- Restart Loop when clock is reset
- Fixed syncing issues
- Faster open and reading
- Rotation oriented to center (0º -> 1st loop, 90º -> 2nd loop, 180º -> 3rd
loop, 270º -> 4th loop)
• LFO:
- Fixed initial value
- Disabled sync by default
- Added sample&hold
- Loop: LFO mapped to speed
- Oscillator: LFO mapped to frequency
• Sequencer:
- added auto-sequence feature: allows to go through several sequences in a loop
- added note duration in percent of the step duration from the speed
• Envelopes: Do legato if attack and decay are null
• Delay: Silence delay when removed from table
• Effects: Adjusted mapping of some effects for better usability
• Tempo: Make waves a little faster
• Tonalizer: Tonalize even if out of the table
