Description:
Soniface is a versatile multimedia tool and instrument that takes you on new paths to audio and visual compositions. Make beat sketches with different moods, let your voice become part of an audio scenery with rhythms, synthesizer and nature sounds.
Everything is changeable by various tools: image, color, key and sound. Utilize multi-touch for audiovisual effects.
Get on with new ways to song concepts and own audiovisual compositions. You can save all creations, scenes and arrangements, load them, add them to others and record the entire sound as an audio file (* .wav).
***
The basic principle of the software is an animated grid. Each line is linked to a sound. As soon as the grid begins to vibrate and deform, sounds are created.
A drum synthesizer interface offers the possibility to generate beats with different rhythms and to modulate the sound by touch, envelopes, automation and MIDI.
Colors are associated with notes and chords and can be also controlled via a midi keyboard.
The sampler interface allows microphone recording, the integration of your own audio files and includes nature shots and everyday sounds.

Put on headphones and take some time! The use is very connected with the moment of creation.
Many of our testers said that it took about 10-15 minutes to arrive. Explore Soniface in your own way. A tutorial mode guides you through the app.
