K Machine is a generative and interactive audiovisual artworks, part musical instrument, part animation generator.
What you hear and what you see is generated on the fly, using semi-random behaviours, and no one will hear nor see exactly the same as you.

Shake your device to generate amazing diversity in the blink of an eye ! Travel in an infinite, never ending animation, and hunt for new fascinating audiovisual organisms : capture them on the fly with the screenshot tool, and share them with your friend, or use them as very unique wallpapers.

With the 'machine K', what you hear and what you see is generated on the fly, and no one will hear nor see the same.

- Frequency parameter: between 100 Hz and 10000 Hz
- Resonance parameter: between 0.0 and 1.0
3) Randomly change 15 parameters of a custom Visual glsl shader

(Note that user do not have any fine control on the mutation.)

Reviews

Why is this so prehistoric? Adding samples is from 2010!
RobBerzon

Please admit how difficult it is to add your own sounds. That will at least make us all feel better. How about a free update this decade. Ty.


Wow

Absolute killer please update user interface was a curve but well worth it


Worth every penny

Absolutely love this app. Great way to create fun visuals audio patterns. Must have!


Trash - waste of money

Clearly a lot of time and effort went into this app - lots of functionality and features. I had high hopes. Such a shame it’s fundamentally unusable - hire a UI designer you clown, it’s 2019. This app is abysmal. My mother could design a better layout.


App won’t open

Paid good money for this app and it won’t even open/launch. Tried deleting and reinstalling and still had the same issue. Happy to reconsider and rewrite my review if this can get fixed.


Pass the bumper, I'm stuck in a k hole!
Superpod wow

This is some very trippy software. Looking forward to seeing how deep this k hole actually is, haven't found the bottom yet!


BEST HOUSE TECH GLITCH D&B APP in years!
RUST(i)K

Just as Samplr and Patterning raised the bar on certain genres of music creation apps, K MACHINE brings an exciting take on a masterful interface and concept. Imagine this, 3 different sequencers of samples- complete parameter control and automation of each. Now imagine a visual sequencer that users shaders. Now envision tactile control of the parameters and sounds using visuals and touch as modulation controllers! If you are really advanced you can duplicate and multiply sequences giving you control of 12-15 sequences modulated and rotated or randomized into 3 simultaneous parts! Oh did I mention it is Universal? This app is great for a person is creative and wants more than a boring piano roll or art app. This app is the only app besides Elastic Drums that I can say I love to use all by itself. No effects or other apps even needed to make entire songs or just parts of a song to use with other apps. The developer is super motivated and responsive to users ideas. This app is worth more that it costs, I give you my word. Must buy for anyone who loves electronic music, beats, noise, or just something to stimulate your brain.


The beautiful disaster
Jax10101

The software is amazing for an iPhone. But it is a little too strong for the processor. It’s an amazing app but needs optimizing for the iOS system. It’s all fun and games until you’re 99% done with a complex song and as you hit the save button the software crashes and then takes every ounce of willpower you have not to destroy your phone.
