Description

One of the most powerful music creation tools for iOS: modular synth (+AU), MIDI sequencer and tracker.

SunVox is one of the most powerful music creation tools for iOS. It is a small and fast cross-platform modular synthesizer with pattern based sequencer (tracker).

[ Key features ]
• Modular interface.
• Powerful microtonal sequencer.
• Highly optimized synth algorithms.
• Support of 16/24/32bit WAV, AIFF and XI samples.
• XM (FastTracker) and MOD (ProTracker, OctaMED) import.
• Multitrack WAV export.
• MIDI import/export.
• MIDI IN/OUT.
• Mic/Line recording (using the Sampler).
• Audio Unit Extension (AUv3 instrument/effect), Audiobus.
• Generative music features: random selection of notes, random values of controllers, probability effects.
• It's possible to use SunVox engine in your own applications using the free library for developers.
• It is also available for other systems (see the site).

[ Brief instruction ]
The main menu - button with the SunVox icon in the upper left corner of the screen.
To connect one module (source) to another (destination): first touch on the source, second touch on the destination.

[ Jordan Rudess about this app ]
Sunvox is a serious music application. I am personally running it on my iphone. In the overcrowded world of music apps, Sunvox stands out as both unique and powerful. If you are a musician and own an iphone, you owe it to yourself to try this amazing application!

What’s New

Version 2.1.2

* new module Smooth - it attempts to follow the waveform of the incoming signal, smoothing out sharp changes in accordance with the Rise and Fall parameters;
* new modulation types in FMX and Analog Generator (Osc2 modes): min abs, max abs;
* Modulator: additional modulation types (as in FMX and Analog Generator) have been added;
* MetaModule: new options: (see simple_examples/metamodule options 78,79.sunvox)
- 79 - ignore effect 31 (jump to line XXYY) after the last Note OFF; works only if "Play patterns" >= 3;
- 78 - jump to the "RL" pattern after the last Note OFF; works only if "Play patterns" >= 3;
* LFO: improved quality of waveforms "saw", "triangle" and "random interpolated" (26 bits instead of 15);
* Filter Pro: max value of the Roll-off controller has been raised to 96dB;
* Filter Pro: since version 2.1.2 the Roll-off controller also affects the All-pass filter type; see simple_examples/freq dispersion.sunvox;
* Reverb: improved type of all-pass filter has been added to controller 8 - it has almost no effect on the gain of the original signal frequencies;
* Delay: new controller "Negative feedback" for changing the sign of feedback;
* Delay: new controller "All-pass filter" for switching the module to All-pass mode, where the filter order is the delay length in samples;
* Glide: new controllers "Octave", "Frequency multiply" and "Frequency divide";
* MultiCtl: new button "Set" for precise curve modification;
* MultiCtl: new button "+" (next to the controller number) - press it if you want to change multiple controllers within a single module; see simple_examples/multictl.sunvox;
* Pitch Detector: new algorithm - "spectral peak"; it determines the frequency of the loudest harmonic with high accuracy; suitable for signals with pronounced fundamental harmonic;
* Pitch Detector: additional info under the controllers: incoming signal frequency; frequency range; output note frequency;
* Pitch Detector: the maximum detected frequencies for algorithms 1 and 2 are 2000 Hz and 1000 Hz; but these values will double if the following conditions are met: base version >= 2.1.2; LP filter == 0; Alg1-2 Sample rate >= 44100;
* Sampler: new controller "Record" (stop/pause/start recording); see simple_examples/sampler rec automation.sunvox;
* sample editor: new function "Set the start position" (position at which the sample will start playing);
* sample editor: new function "Adjust to specified length (without resampling)" (editor menu -> Misc) - allows you to set a note at which the sample will fit exactly into the specified length;
* sample editor: new functions "Convert to 8/16/32bit" (editor menu -> Misc);
* sample editor: view settings (in the menu) allow you to set the units (samples, seconds, ticks, etc.) in which the cursor position and selection size will be displayed;
* sample editor: PLAY (from the cursor position) button has been added;
* sample editor: improved sample wave display;
* sample editor: the following parameters have been added to the "Create a new sample" and "Resample" dialogs: interpolation type; length in lines and seconds; "Just crop/extend (no resampling)" option;
* pattern effect 34: new option 8 has been added - enable it if you need to output 7-bit MIDI controller values, even if the controller is 14-bit (0-31);
* new keyboard shortcuts;
* new modules and examples;
* full SunVox Library sources are now available, so you can rebuild it (for different platform or with different options) if necessary: https://warmplace.ru/soft/sunvox/sunvox_lib.php
* minor improvements, bug fixes, increased stability.

The Swiss knives of… knives, if knives were music applications

There are a very select group of audio apps that I install on every new device before any other apps. SunVox is definitely one of those apps!

Tracker functionality isn’t everybody’s cup of tea, but the modular wiring and multitude of modules are really the star of the show. You can create just about any type of Synth and fx combo you can think of in a very lightweight environment.

I’ve been a big fan of SunVox for a long time. Many apps have come along since I first tried SunVox. Most have been relegated to being reinstalled once in a while, only to be uninstalled to clear out clutter. SunVox never leaves my devices, and it gets used very often for sound design and generative audio.

SunVox is amazing!!

Yes this app won’t cost you much money, it’s free on Mac, PC, Linux and even Raspberry Pi if you really want to try before buying. I was trying to make a stand alone box running it on Raspberry Pi but then I realized it works so much better on my Phone and this was 3 years ago. It can do so much and continues to get developed to be even better year after year. Some people don’t care for Trackers well I don’t either and I don’t use it often. I has infinite possibilities for sound creation. Works flawlessly on everything from my old 2011 iPad 2 running the latest SunVox version to my new 2017 iPad Pro.

I’m just resending my same review as before because the iOS review system is stupid!

How is this only $5

I am brand new to the tracker workflow and looked around for some iOS apps in this realm and sunVox is far superior… I expected a basic amiga style tracker and this is pretty much a full-fledged portable DAW… I was already a fan of Alex’s other apps…. I am assuming this only went under my radar because of my previous lack of tracker knowledge… this app is a lot to unpack but just after a few minutes I have been able to get some really powerful sounds out of it… and the price is spectacular… I feel most iOS apps of this caliber in 2023 will cost at least $10-20…
