Per 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!
I really like the sound of the app… Very raw and lofi in a good way… Here’s a list of things that I would love to make it more useful to me:
- a way to know what key one is playing in (call me old fashioned, but piano keys let one figure that out quickly… maybe just changing the width of the lines to indicate that…)
- a way to save patches
- a filter for sculpting the sound more
- numerical input for BPM
- a way to record & export the created sounds… (see for example noise.io and beatmaker)
- maybe adding sustain to the envelope (could be a second dimension to the slider: pull up more sustain… bring down less…)
Again: Props to you for creating this as is!! But for me it would be even more useful if I could integrate it more into other apps / projects…

Thanks Dirk, we love to hear improvement suggestions. We are trying to make our apps novel, fun, and focused without running up development costs and ending up with the $9.99 price tag of some of the broader-featured apps out there. And we are trying to stick to “necessary” features. Some future ideas for Space do include filters and better envelopes. Another oscillator might be fun. We may even entertain polyphony. And we’ll definitely add your ideas to the Space whiteboard
