Moebius Lab from the great developer Amazing Noises is now available. The app is developed in big collaboration with appSoft which is know for his granular Synthesizers or also from the brillant iVCS3 Synthesizer app. Moebius Lab is a stunning experimental studio which offers you a build in Synthesizer but also a complete effect rack for real time transformation of samples. It’s a really effect madness laboratory where you can experiment with different special effects and transform any signal in something completely new.
Here is a picture from the build in Synthesizer
Additional to this build in Synthesizer and sample playback engine, you can even route IAA Instruments and effects inside this experimental effect studio. So your sound design potential is very big with this new app from Amazing noises. You see in the picture below that Maurizio, the main developer added Animoog Synthesizer as signal.
I was beta tester for this app and I must say that on the Appstore there are a lot of apps which cost not a lot but make nothing new. It’s already available in other apps several times. Moebius Lab is another territory of sound possibility which you can’t find in no other app than this one. Moebius Lab is an excellent experimental sound laboratory for all kind of different sounds.
Features of Moebius Lab
Moebius Lab is a multimorphic sound processor which contains a synth, a varispeed stereo sample player, 9 time domain effects, 6 spectral effects, 7 slots for external audio application, and nearly 200 LFOs that can modulate each parameter.
You can move the effects along two chains, and get endless combinations of incredible sounds. ALL the App parameters can be modulated with dedicates LFO (one independent LFO for each parameter!).
To get you started, you have more than 200 ready-mades presets.
Each effect has an in-line help with an explanation of the parameters.
The screen is divided into 3 horizontal areas: the top one contains the sound source (Sample player/External Input/Internal Synth), the middle one contains the Time Domain Effects Chain with four slots for external apps, the bottom one contains the Spectral Effects Chain.
The two effect chains are connected in a sort of Moebius Ring: you can route the signal from the Time Domain Chain to the Spectral Chain and vice versa.
You can even add up to 7 IAA effects and/or instruments, the number of possibilities is huge!
*** LIST OF EFFECTS (NODES) ***
- EXCITER The Exciter Node distorts the signal below (Saturation) or above (Excitation) a given frequency.
- RINGER A ring modulator with distortion and feedback.
- KLAMPER Clamps the signal with some special features.
- SWARMER A “superchorus”, excellent to create super fat synth sounds (and more). It is composed by a chain of modulated delay lines.
- FILTER The Filter node has two configurations: Dub: dual low-pass high-pass state variable filter with resonance and overlap factor. Morph: a triple low-pass/band-pass/high-pass state variable filter with resonance and continuous morphing between the filter types.
- SPLITDEL A dual band delay with feedback.
- REDUKTOR This node can be used to decimate and do other “bad things” to your signal.
- SHIFTER A dual band frequency shifter.
- REVERSO Plays the signal in reverse at regular rate.
- BRICKWALL A spectral brickwall filter.
- GRIP This node samples and holds spectral components of the incoming signal, based on their amplitude.
- BLUR A (noisy) “spectral reverb”. The duration of the spectral components is prolonged (blurred).
- DEGRADER A spectral decimator.
- FLUTTER Flutter is a sort of animated brickwall. Two spectral sinusoidal LFOs define the frequency boundaries. The spectral components which are inside or outside (depending on the Spectral Balance) these boundaries are suppressed.
- PLATEVERB As the name suggests this is a classic Plate Reverb.
- DYNAMICS PROCESSOR You can change the output sound using a compressor and expander effect. This is used to either reduce or expand the dynamic range of an audio signal.
THE SYNTH
The internal synth contains two band limited oscillators, a complex oscillator, a ladder filter, an envelope generator and a sub-bass oscillator.
Other Features:
- Audiobus and Inter-App Audio support (sender and FX)

- Control Manager LFO for Parameters
- Midibus, Virtual Midi and Network: 14 bit NRPN controllers
- File Manager, sharing common audio files via iTunes, Dropbox and AudioCopy
- Snapshots Presets Morphing Pad
