SPACEVIBE - is a multi-oscillator phase distortion module with delay and rotary effects. Easily create extraordinary soundscapes with echoes from outer space.
With sounds ranging from clean bell-like tones and harmonies to extremely distorted sonic mayhem SpaceVibe covers a lot of sonic territory.
Change notes by sliding and tapping your finger around the Frequency pad. Turn on the Noise Pad and add some dirt. Turn on the link switches and fine-tune the vibe effect to get that perfect sound.
Presets fade into one another creating a seamless soundwall. Everything you play just fits.
Hook up with other audio apps via Audiobus or Inter-App-Audio. Gravity mode keeps you playing SpaceVibe in the background while you use another virtual instrument.
Turn your device like a steering wheel to change notes and rotate it towards you to vary linked effects.
SpaceVibe is very easy to play and while it requires no musical knowledge to craft huge soundscapes musicians will feel right at home with a selection of scales to choose from and the ability to easily configure arpeggio-style runs.
Features:
- Create huge soundscapes easily by moving your fingers around the Frequency and Noise pads or let gravity play for you!
- Control space and vibe knobs directly from the Frequency and Noise pads for increased control and sound possibilities.
- Choose from a variety of scales and only play the notes that you want :
- Major scale and all of its modes
- Harmonic Minor
- Melodic Minor
- Extend the range of sounds with the new Scale Packs available as in-app purchases :
- The Minor Modes Scale Pack includes all the modes of the Harmonic and melodic minor scales.
- The Exotic Scale Pack includes the Harmonic Major, Neapolitan, Gypsy, Freygish, Enigmatic, Persian and Double Harmonic Scales.
- Create rich sonic textures with the 4 voice harmonizer. Includes individual delay and volume controls for each voice. Available as an in-app purchase.

There are a lot of apps for droning and noise creation. Some good, some.......,well. This is my hands down favorite. The sounds are rich and easily manipulated and add really unique tone color when placed in a mix. Very easy to lose many hours with this great instrument. IMHO this belongs in any sound creators toolbox.
Great Sci-Fi Sound Generator

UPDATE: Audiobus added, along with more presets and the ability to set scales and save presets. Fifth star added! Original review below: Extremely straightforward and easy to use, Spacevibe makes creating powerful futuristic soundscapes a breeze. The 8 presets are basically starting points. All the magic happens on the dual, customizable XY pads in real time. The idea is not to create patches but recordings. Once you get going, you'll see what I mean. Currently, you're restricted to recording within the app and emailing your performance out of the app for use in your projects. The developer has indicated Audiobus support will come in a future update. When that happens, 5 stars for sure. Well worth the pocket change asking price.

Whether you use it as just an audio toy, or use it to make a drone or effects track in a project, this app has an understated beauty and power that few others of the many I own have managed to combine. Highly recommended!
Interestingly good

Great find, with audiobus. SOme crazy sounds to be had with this one. Easy to use too.
If there was sound in space...

this is what I would hope it sounds like. You get some great sonic drones that echo and move while you change parameters and manipulate the pads to dial in the sound you want. Far more lush than any Theremin app be played with yet!
Good...

I have always enjoyed this app and it is quite fun. However, even with the bundle discount, $10.99 is a bit dear for the harmonizer and additional modes. I know that developers need to make money from their creations ( and they certainly deserve to do so), but even with these enhancements, the app remains fundamentally limited. Y'know, that whole cost vs value thing...
