Aqeel Aadam has released a desktop and iOS update for Weeping Wall. Weeping Wall is currently available for $35.00 (desktop) and $8.99 (iOS).
What’s new in version 1.2.0:
- New features/modes:
- “Macro mode” – loops can now be up to 60 seconds long
- “Performance mode” – enables a new button-based UI for toggling settings easily on touchscreens (changing octaves, reverse, play/pause, and enabling/disabling recording)
- Random skip – loops can be randomly skipped over, to add more unpredictability/sparseness/granular-ish-ness
- Filters – the wet channel can now be filtered via a basic high/low pass filter
- Bug fixes:
- Fixed some interactions between loops that are fading out, new loops being recorded, pausing
- Audio engine tightened up in general
A zen garden of responsive sound. Weeping Wall will listen to what you have to say, and chatter back words and phrases that it learns – a morphing ambient bed that reflects recency, with an organic feel at its heart.
Weeping Wall is a set of microloopers that automatically record based on input detection. Each new sound will be smoothly introduced and replace older sounds, resulting in a group of sounds that always reflect the most recent input. Each looper behaves independently – their size can vary and they will beat against each other as they phase. Up to 5 loopers are available to record into, with repitching and reverse controls as well. A dedicated “jitter” control allows you to randomly vary the size of each looper on each loop, creating variations that will never be heard again.
Weeping Wall can be used as an effect directly on a track, or as a send effect. WW is intended to be a modular tool; it doesn’t include reverb, EQ, saturation, flutter, etc., but it plays extremely well with them. WW is a brand new effect that can be used in any number of creative ways – you can place it fully wet in front of a reverb, place a hint of it behind a saturator, combine it with your favorite pitch modulation – whatever you can dream. WW is fully compatible with automation and modulators such as Ableton CV to broaden the horizons even further.
Weeping Wall has the following controls available:
- Threshold: The volume at which input will start recording into a looper.
- Looper size: The size of loopers, in seconds, from 0.1s to 3s.
- Jitter: A control for desynchronizing loops. Loops will be randomly shortened, and each one is free to change size independent of one another.
- Semitones: Repitch loops, with a range of +/- one octave.
- Reverse: A latching control to reverse looper playback.
- Looper number: Up to five loopers are available.
- Decay rate: How long loops will be held before fading away, from seconds to forever. This essentially controls whether WW functions more as a looper or as a delay.
- Independent dry and wet volumes: Use WW as an effect directly on your track, or as a send effect.
