We just submitted a new version of Space, coming to your iPad (extremely) soon. The touch interface was totally reworked, tossing the iPhone modal paradigm. The short of it: you can get all multi-freaky now: tweaking wave forms as you select notes, detune an oscillator, adjust the echo, set the modulator. We rarely wish we had more fingers, but this morning we’ve nearly deployed our toes. The new hold features do however make it a little easier on our overwrought digits.
• rewritten touch interface, now much more multi!
• fixed ultra-crashed arp
• fixed arp display sync issue
• hold now works with arp off, for a sustained single note
• hold now extra sticky, allowing you to add and alter arp notes while a touch is held in the note area
Oh, and as for that borken arp. For the nerds among ye: the compiler was wreaking voodoo when optimizing the app. Everything rocked hard on our debug iPad, but the release version was doing Alpha Centauri math we’re only beginning to understand. Making a function-local variable into a class variable fixed the bug. Free pizza to the first commenter who can explain this!

Space Love 1.5
Saturday, June 19th, 2010Time for Space on the iPad
Tuesday, April 13th, 2010I am very pleased to announce the first iteration of our first iPad app, Space for iPad. It was obvious that the iPad would be a boon to our audio apps, but I didn’t know it would be so much fun! Trying the iPhone apps on the iPad sent me straight to Xcode. This release is a fairly direct port of Sound Scope Space. More features are already implemented and coming your way soon!
Waves in Space
Thursday, July 30th, 2009Per your request, default waves are coming soon to Sound Scope Space. The holy trinity of Sine, Square, and Saw are included, along with a memory bank to allow you to toggle between a default wave and one you’ve made. For added thrills, the wave morphs into shape, with morph speed being determined by the master (ie arpeggiator) tempo.
Sixteen bits still sound too smooth? Missing your SID chip? Two LO-FI bit reduction modes are coming as well!
Added a quickstart guide to Space
Thursday, July 16th, 2009Sure, the videos help a lot, and there is a detailed manual, but who has time for all that? For the Eager Among Thee, we’ve added a quick guide to Space you can digest within seconds!
Sound Scope Space released!
Tuesday, July 7th, 2009Building on the huge success of its free Sound Scope iPhone application, the Strange Agency LLC has just released the new Sound Scope Space, a unique audio-visual, multi-touch musical instrument for the iPhone.
With a completely rewritten audio engine, Space gives users the unique wave-sculpting touch interface of the original, but with added range and precision. Notes are now quantized to standard MIDI semitone values, allowing Space to play nicely with other instruments — on stage, in the studio or on the bus.
Sound Scope Space preview
Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009Looks like the attentive folks at wire to the ear have an ear to ground, for they beat us to the punch this morning! Thanks Oliver!
The release candidate of Sound Scope Space has been passed on to a certain sleeping giant for approval, so watch this space for the good word. Meanwhile feast your (wired) ears and eyes on the latest preview:
