Other secret sauce for long ambient atmospheres is recording in AUM a Piano Motifs composition with Pure Piano, moving the XY Pad between the Reverse and Pad positions, and using FAC Alteza as the only effect.

No, the real purpose for this one is using the program as an IAA unit, playing with its time stretch function and performing in real time with its audio scrubbing capacities.

And for the same price, you obtain a Mac Audio Unit, that it even works on Intel Macs!ĪudioStretch: This is marketed as an audio editor, and it's the worst program that you will find for this purpose, because it only can save audio in 16 bits and 44.1 kHz. Piano Motifs + 3 BB17 in each midi channel + FAC Alteza, it's the secret sauce for minimal ambient. Seriously, with none other synth you will push FAC Alteza to its limits as with this. And together with FAC Alteza, it's a match in heaven. BB17 is much more than this, one of the most distinctive synths in the App store, with an unique sound designed for minimal ambient performances. And with its touch screen surface it's super easy and intuitive to modify your 8 atmospheres at the same time, but you can also use other external sequencers (or keyboards) as Midi In.īB17 Binaural Auv3 Synth: Don't be fooled by its supposed focus in creating binaural sounds. You can reach incredibly musical results, that perfectly fits in ambient landscapes. And you can reset the artificial intelligence in any point of your live performance, for creating new moods and variations, adapting its generative music algorithm to your way of playing. It includes a machine learning algorithm in which the program will automatically create notes based in your way of playing. You can feed until 8 external synthesizers, and it's ideal for creating long and organic generative atmospheres. It's IAA, but it includes Ableton Link support.
#Ambient plugins for garageband update#
The update is free of charge for existing customers.Refraktions: This sequencer is secretly one of the best tools for creating long ambient pads. SpaceFields by Igor Vasiliev is available now for $10,99 USD on the Apple AppStore and macOS Store. Plus, a new shift + touch and drag option on iOS with an external keyboard. There is also a new shift + touch and drag option to change the second value of the knobs in the macOS version. SpaceField 1.3 Updateīesides the new macOS AUv3 plugin compatibility, the new update brings new presets, a threshold exceeding indicator, and a slight optimization of the audio engine. The macOS version features all application features, including MIDI support, audio unit parameters, and importing samples from any directory of devices.

On macOS, SpaceFields works as a standalone application and as an AUv3 with DAWs and audio unit hosts like Ableton Live, Logic Pro, GarageBand, Mainstage, Plogue Bidule, etc. It can work on iPhone and iPad as well as Mac / MacBook with an M1 chip (and later). The new update 1.3 makes Igor Vasiliev’s SpaceFields a universal iOS and macOS application. With these, the sounds can be set in motion. The engine also has a rich modulation engine like LFOs, euclidean rhythm generators, or random generators. The mix of these outputs is fed to the convolution reverb infusing a blurry and ambient texture to your sounds. Three separate outputs can playback the recorded loop with different pitches (speeds), each with its own effects and two automation generators. When the loop recording stops, there is a smooth transition between them. The core consists of a loop recorder with two loops where one loop is on recording and the second is on playback mode. SpaceFields is a loop-based space ambient machine effect processor made for crafting epic, evolving textures. This update not only fixes bugs but also turns the app into a macOS app with AUv3 support. Igor Vasiliev, developer of amazing experimental sound design-oriented iOS apps has today released SpaceFields 1.3. Where there is shadow, there is also light. Currently, not so many developers want to take this step, which is a shame. The only sticking point: this amazing extra must be activated by the developer. With the release of the Apple M1, you can run iOS apps on macOS. Igor Vasiliev has updated its Space Ambient Machine app SpaceFields to version 1.3 turning it into a macOS app with AUv3 plugin support.
