4Pockets have released another huge update for WaveCloud which features a number of additions and fixes. WaveCloud is currently available for $14.99.
What’s new in version 1.03:
- Added support for 3 simultanious WaveGlides.
- Added a per node pitch shift option to each WaveGlide.
- Added a per node volume to the WaveGlide.
- Added AU parameters to individually turn on each of the 3 WaveGlides via AU params (rather than active WaveGlide).
- Added the new pitch abd volume setting to the Randomize WaveGlide window.
- Added an AU parameter to seek to the percentage position within a sample.
- Added an AU paramter to change the random tuning.
- Added AU parameters to control VCF1 & VCF2 cutoff and resonance.
- Added an input Monitor button to the Edit Options toolbar.
- Added an AU parameter to toggle remote recording with the interface closed.
- You can now choose to Append Recordings and set the Max Record Length by long pressing the Record button.
- Added the ability to set a maximum global recording length
- Added the ability to control the play position using CC20.
- Added a file lock button to the right of the grain file selection. When enabled the the file will not be replaced when loading other presets.
- Improved the speed that presets are loading.
- Setting FULL screen mode in one instance now updates all instances.
- Fixed an error with running multpile instances under Loopy Pro.
- Fixed an issue which caused user Favourites not to stick between versions.
- Fixed an issue with legato due to none reseting variable on before loading preset.
- Fixed an issue where when running as an AUv3 the version in the about box was wrong.
- Fixed an issue where the total flight time is not updated when deleting all events.
- Updated the manual.
WaveCloud is an innovative granular synthesizer that offers powerful tools for manipulating and playing sounds. Granular synthesis divides an audio sample into tiny fragments, called grains, each typically a few milliseconds in length. These grains are then manipulated independently in terms of pitch, duration, position in time, and amplitude. Unlike traditional synthesis, the capability to manipulate tiny grains of audio offers enormous precision of sound control, transformation, and compositional possibilities.
WaveCloud offers a wide range of tools for experimentation – oscillator, LFOs, filters, envelopes, routing matrix, innovative WaveGlide and Orbit modules for grain movement, effects, MPE support, extensive waveform editing, customizable themes, MIDI CC control, aftertouch, audio pool manager, and 200+ presets to get you started.
Granular synthesis is extremely versatile and can produce a vast range of sounds and textures, from subtle, atmospheric sounds to complex, dynamic ones. WaveCloud offers dozens of parameters, enabling you to sculpt the sound grains in any way you wish – textural pads and atmospheres, time-stretched effects, glitchy and stutter effects, vocal and instrumental manipulations, granular synthesis percussive sounds, experimental effects, as well as microtonal and harmonic soundscapes.
WaveCloud features a drag and drop system for importing and exporting of audio files and presets. It has its own built-in Preset and Audio Managers to help keep everything in order. WaveCloud even features a fully-fledged zoomable audio editor along with a suite of tools to crop, fade, cut, copy, paste, and normalise your samples.
We include a morphing 3-state Oscillator to support the granular engine. The granular engine allows up to 50 grains per second per note, with grain lengths up to a second in length. Grains can be sculpted with our morphing envelope generator, manipulated with our LFOs, FEGs and VCFs, and passed through lots of randomisation to keep things continually evolving.
WaveCloud also features two unique features for adding movement to audio grains. Orbit mode allows you to play sweeping patterns tied to the physical host tempo of your DAW, and WaveGlide is a sequencer with glides and fades from one location to another.
To top it all off, we include 7 built-in effects, delay, reverb, chorus, overdrive, phaser, resonator, and 8-band EQ. The resonator controls per-note feedback and dispersion for amazing MPE effects.
WaveCloud is not only a deep and powerful granular synth but also a fun way to create many incredible sounds.
