The app was completely rewritten for better performance, longer recording time, session recording, polyphony, Retina display and more! We’ve added jitter, LFOs, amp envelope control, and even a proper keyboard.

See it in action at http://www.youtube.com/thestrangeagency

More awesome features are on their way to the app store as free updates, but the launch version is only $.99 for a limited time. So, save a few bucks and get your tweak started early.

If you haven’t yet, grab Curtis Heavy for free to get a taste of the sound. Record vocals, drums, guitar, or even your cats, and turn them into synthesizers!

They don’t copy or paste, they don’t play well with others, they’re all still rocking 3G. Yet, they still tweak sounds quite strangely, and so gentle(ladies and)men, we will rebuild them!

This holiday season we’re cooking up a whole new series of strange toys for the iPhone, and when we launch in the months to come, the current crop will have to go. As of today, the free sample versions of our paid iPhone apps have been axed.

How can you get some strange samples, you ask? We’ve made the paid apps free!

Slice beat-juggling freakout is free!
Curtis Heavy granular glitchfest is free!
Sound Scope Space wave sculpting is free!
Spoke rhythm massage is free!

See you next year :)
