Who's a SunVox user? This looks to me to be about a intense as Audulus but I've never messed with it.
Opinions?

What is it? Is it worth the penny?
Oh boy
Sunvox is a universe entire, and one of the most powerful and amazing workstation apps in iOS. Is it worth $3? Thats a steal.
It's a cross-platform tracker based modular studio that does things no other iOS studio DAW does, in ways no other iOS studio DAW does them
To me, it's like finding a $3 eight-track tape of "Exile on Main Street" at a garage sale. Super cool to have, but there is virtually no imaginable future that I get it to make any sound.
I don't use the tracker sequencer, but I quite like the synths. They sound excellent and are naturally very tweakable and layerable. Well worth $3 and an initial 15 minutes to get used to the interface and how it works.
There's no synth/sampler sound module quite like it. The possibilities for "rack" building is wide open.
Also true as an fx rack resource in AB and IAA
It's also possible to compose full length stuff without recourse to the tracker at all (except to set "clip" lengths.)
Is it a self-contained environment, or does it play well with others? Y'know - AU? Midi out? IAA? Link? etc.
Thanks for the feedback!
It works as IAA ( generator and effect) and Audiobus. I bought it full price and find it worth the price . For MAc you can download it for free and I thought the minimum was to pay for the ios app.
No link or AU yet, robust midi in and out
In the iOS FB group there are people using it (the tracker part) as their main midi sequencer for apps hosted in AUM. I have seen videos where it is used as the main midi controller hub, for a mixture of apps/hardware. I have used it myself as an effects unit for my guitar (video of that too). It is a sample player. It is a synth. It is an effects unit. You can arrange songs in it and you can use it control other apps, or let it be controlled by other apps/controllers. And it can turn photos into audio.
Not to mention the pure joy of sequencing in hexadecimal.
Get it.
It is the only app I’ve paid money for on android (for my phone).
Has this been written in Smalltalk or one of its derivatives?
Not sure, but it's been ported to everything you can think of.
I like Sunvox because it looks like the app I would use to make music while I was sitting at the Mos Eisley Cantina waiting to meet someone.
It's a laboratory.
Truth be told I use the samplers and drum synths most (though the preset and example synth/metamodule stuff that ships with the app is mind blowing)
Pulled the trigger on this after messing with the Windows version. I think this has some cool tricks up it's sleeve. Thankfully I'll have some time this next week to sit and dig in.
Enjoy!
Well played!
I went for it. I like apps that have a Mac counterpart, I can work on a big screen and dump it into my Air for more fun.
I wouldn't set foot in that shithole unless Max Rebo was performing.
Funny that, I actually asked Alexander myself yesterday due to another discussion I was having offline with a friend. The answer is Sunvox is written in C++, which Alexander thinks is the best language for cross-platform development. Given that it runs on every platform known to man (and then some) I am not about to argue his point of view on that.
@hellquist Aha! Thought it was a kind of Smalltalk because of the UI which resembles a lot the one of for example Squeak.
Sometimes I wonder why there is (to my knowledge) not a Smalltalk or Squeak for iOS. Or a native Pure Data for iOS. Those would make iOS even more interesting.
I think an Audiobus forum cover of Lapti Nek is in order
Nawww.. C# is a Microsoft invention so that's pretty much limited to MS platforms.
I agree with the C++ statement. I used to think ANSI C was the most portable language, but for some modern features object oriented code is essential (like making Audio Units). There are very few platforms that don't have a C++ compiler these days. Even the simplest embedded microcontrollers tend to have one nowadays.
Let's see if we can get a hold of the acapella vocals of Sy Snootles then.
@brambos That'd be a chore - the version of the song released in the movie has NEVER been released elsewhere. The version on the soundtracks had re-recorded vocals (someone @ 20th Century Fox was trying to turn that tune into the next disco single). And then there's this version (my favorite):
There are articles on the web about that tune... crazy to think so much fuss over the dumbest song in the Star Wars universe...
Friend of mine just put out an album made in sunvox:
https://trackedmusic.bandcamp.com/album/searchlight-005
He also released the source files: https://github.com/purelygrey/projects/tree/master/Sunvox/Albums/Searchlight
Great tunes and learning opportunity!
Nah, SunVox has the level of boffinry that can only be achieved by using a proper language like C++.
C# is for drag and drop coders and cowards afraid to get their hands dirty.
