Synthscaper vs Soundscaper vs Fieldscaper
Hello. I just purchased synthscaper and I love it. I was wondering, should I still purchase Soundscaper? Or is it redundant now that I have synthscaper? Or should I get Fieldscaper? Many thanks!

SoundScaper is a completely different equally awesome beast.
Great for glitchy stuff and wierdly evolving textures.
FieldScaper I don't use much but can see the utility in it.
Any $ chucked in the direction of this dev is money well spent for me.
The first is synth based, the second uses samples. Both are more 'generative' than synthscaper.
I love both.
Check out thesoundtestroom on YouTube for a decent overview of each, they are quite distinct.
I just love the mad scientist feel to them as well as the quality results.
I just got SynthScaper and am going to try to get my head around that before thinking about the others. I’ve reached a point with iOS where I have so much to learn, so much to experiment with, I’m not sure what to do first. It’s like a weight holding me back.
Slightly OT, here, but I have to say I wish Igor would find a native english translator to re-write the scaper manuals. It would save me so much time not having to learn the apps by trial and error.
An example from Synthscaper's manual: Each layer has six voices. When you press the key the event from keyboard activated one voice. So for each event can be activated up to three voices at the same time (up to nine at using three oscillators).
Wait... what?
Find some basic tutorial for SoundScaper, load in some of your own samples, midi map some of the main parameters and press play. Can get lost for the night easily. You can get into the circuit mangling page and do a lot of tweaking, great for glitchy sound design but I have struggled to get musical results in that mode.
if you have an iPhone FieldScaper is great for some portable weirdness.
I don't have synthscaper (yet), but anything made by Igor that has scaper at the end is well worth having imho
Soundscaper is for glitchy drone sounds with lots of bleeps and blips. Not my personal favourite unless your into drones.
and mine... lol
I like the weird sounds of SynthScaper. Looks like the developer is serious.
I haven't really had time to experiment, just bought it.
I find it charming but, well... Yeah.
Basically, there are 3 'oscillators' and each 'oscillator' consists of 3 'layers' (samples). So each key-press 'event' can activate 9 samples. That talk of 'voices' tells us that Synthscaper is a 6-voice polysynth (i.e. you can press up to 6 keys at a time). So 54 layers all in.
As for comparisons between these scaper apps, nobody's mentioned the keyboard? SynthScaper is the only keyboard-playable one. The others are fantastic and hugely droneable but most of your playing is with knobs and dials and a bit of the x/y. I love the morphing scene in SoundScaper, but I am a feedback junkie.
