moodscaper

Great as a generative relaxation too, or an inspiring musical instrument anyone can play. Use it alone or with other apps via any inter app audio compatible app. I highly recommend all of the scaper series apps this developer offers. A lot of fun for those who love music.

I’ve had this app for quite some time now, a couple of years at least, and I never tire of it. So many times I have run it in the background while working or reading or simply relaxing. As an iOS musician I have also incorporated it into my music making with wonderful results. It is IAA compatible and works with any of the standard iOS DAWs. I use it in Cubasis. Initially, the layout seems rather cryptic but it doesn’t take long to know your way around the user interface. This app is one of those gems I’m very glad I found!

Heard back from the dev regarding AudioShare and it reminded me to update my review. I went from 4 stars to 5 stars even though AudioShare is not supported. Using iTunes to transfer my own sounds to Moodscaper is quite simple- albeit a bit clumsy. Still, Moodscaper is a fantastic ambient sound design and performance instrument. Moodscaper also helps me to get new perspectives and ideas about sounds and music I’m working on because I can just load the sounds in and explore. Like playing with audio legos :-) — Very well designed instrument. Lots of potential, particularly with the ability to load my own sounds. And that’s where the major flaw comes in. The inability to share/transfer sounds between apps is a deal breaker for me. At the very least, the Moodscaper should be compatible with AudioShare. When I’m using my iPad to do sound design, I have to transfer the completed sound(s) to iTunes on my Mac and then transfer them back to the iPad in order to get the sounds into Moodscaper. Please make Moodscaper compatible with AudioShare. All of the apps I use for synthesis, sound design and processing are compatible with AudioShare and allow me to quickly transfer my files without using an external machine.
