Star6 iPhone App Lets You Chop The Beats With The Flick Of The Wrist
Star6 Introduction from Star6 on Vimeo.
Star6 includes the following features:
- Granular synthesis audio engine: The key to Star6’s power is an amazing audio processing engine based on granular synthesis, where sound is broken into tiny “grains,” manipulated, and then reassembled, with incredible results.
- Six sample pads: Users can select preset sounds or easily upload their own AIFF or WAV loops.
- Built-in sample packs (and additional free samples online): Users can select from seven awesome built-in sample packs with six samples each or download additional free samples packs from the Star6app.com website.
- Accelerometer-based sound control: Star6 leverages the iPhone’s accelerometer as a fun and intuitive means of controlling audio processing. Users can even change multiple synthesis settings at once by placing fingers on multiple pads and moving the device.
- Dual audio modes: Use “Sync Mode” to keep samples on the beat and “Grain Mode” for bizarre continuous tones and random effects.
- BPM/Tempo: Star6 uses granular synthesis to adjust the playback speed for all samples from 1 – 303 BPM while preserving pitch.
- Real-time Process Display: Star6 dynamically displays the state of your sound synthesis settings.
- Session-based Sample Management: Samples can be organized in any configuration, saved in any state, and added or deleted easily.
- BPM Indicator: Flashes on the beat to provide a visual indicator of playback speed.
- Play, Pause, Reset, Reverse, and Save: With a single touch, users can turn audio on and off, reset the process back to the original, or play your sample backwards. All creations are saved automatically.
