Quanta is a six-voice granular synthesizer for iOS11+ in both standalone (with Inter-App Audio) and AudioUnit V3 formats. Quanta for iPad is fully compatible with the full version of Quanta for macOS and Windows; visit audiodamage.com for a PDF manual, audio samples, and video demonstrations. Quanta will work on any iPad that can run iOS 11, but keep in mind that it is a feature-heavy desktop quality synthesizer, and would prefer a 2017/2018 iPad, or an iPad Pro. If you're experiencing CPU issues on lower-end machines with the standalone, try changing the main display to FEG or FLFO, which don't require redrawing and which will be significantly lower in CPU usage. >> Multi-Format Sample Loader Quanta can load AIFF, WAV, Broadcast WAV, FLAC, MP3, and Ogg in any sample rate, bit depth, and channel configuration. >> Grain Engine Up to 100 simultaneous grains per voice, of up to 1 second long, with control over grain rate, pitch, direction, shape, length, panning, source position, and level. >> Sidecar Oscillator Continuously variable wave shape, with pulse width modulation, and independent control over pitch (separate from grain engine.) Can be injected directly into grain engine. >> Noise Source Noise source features a "color" control that affects tonal characteristics of the noise. Can be injected directly into grain engine. >> Dual Multi-Mode Filters Filters can be used in serial or parallel modes, and include lowpass, highpass, bandpass, and notch in 2-pole and 4-pole configurations. >> Flexible Envelope Generator (FEG) x 4 The four FEGs are arbitrary function generators, with up to 99 steps, curve and step level control, arbitrary loop points, and host tempo sync. >> Flexible Low-Frequency Oscillator (FLFO) x 2 The pair of FLFOs utilize four controls (phase, shape, skew, and warp) to access a virtually limitless palette of waveforms, and feature host tempo sync and retrigger. >> Sample And Hold The S&H mod source can sample noise (random) or any of the other mod sources, at either a user-defined rate or a musical division. >> Modulation Matrix Every mod and MIDI source can be easily and simply assigned to any destination using the quick-access bi-polar modulation matrix. Touch a destination on the UI and the matrix automatically scrolls to the correct row. >> Tuning Tables And Global Tuning Offset Re-tune Quanta to new intonations and temperaments using the open-source and easy-to-use TUN file format. A global tuning offset (default to A=440) allows you to easily retune the entire synth to match a different A frequency without using a tuning table. >> MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) Quanta understands both "legacy" MIDI and MPE. Use your Linnstrument, Roli controller, Haken Continuum, or Madrona Labs Soundplane (among others) to directly access per-note pressure, pitch bend, and modulation. >> Per-Instance Settings Quanta utilizes a per-instance customization method: set MPE mode, aftertouch smoothing, pitch bend range override, tuning table, and global tuning offset for each instance in your AUv3 host. >> Factory Presets Quanta comes with a substantial collection of factory content, including Designer Presets from Marcus Fisher, Joseph Fraioli, Chris Carter, and Richard Devine. >> Cross-Platform Preset Format Quanta utilizes an XML-based preset manager, and stores the sample within the preset for easy asset management. Work between multiple systems without troubles, make a preset on your desktop machine and paste it to the iOS version with Handoff or vice-versa, easily share your creations with your friends, or make a preset bundle to sell, no asset management required. >> Fully Resizable Retina GUI Quanta's vector-based GUI is resolution-agnostic, and displays the same on every system and resolution. Easily resize the UI (per instance) to match your visual needs, from postage stamp to poster-sized.}

Hi , i have bugs with quanta since i installed the new Ios 16. The apps crashes after a few minutes and is becoming unusable. I have a 5 gen Ipad so is not the last one, but before it worked perfectly

I have a few granular synths, and this is the only one I regret buying. No help function, and the few YT demos out there are of an early version which has a different interface. Any attempt to import a file results in the app crashing. The App Store blurb invites one to “Visit audio damage.com for a PDF manual, audio samples and video demonstrations”- no, no, and no. Deeply frustrating and to all intents and purposes useless.

I like the app but the fact that it’s impossible to sync at least the speed or the length of grains to any incoming midi clock is surprising and kind of a deal breaker :/

I’m not one typically to write reviews about an app, but I’m hoping someone will read this and it will save them from experiencing the same headache I’ve had with this app. I want to preface this by saying this synth is an AWESOME granular synth, it has great modulation built in and the sound quality is comparable to some of the $300+ plug ins they make for desktop computers. That’s not the issue with the program. The problem is stability. I’ve been using it as auv3 in BeatMaker and have experienced it crashing EVERY time I have it in a project I’m working on. To make matters worse, it doesn’t just crash BeatMaker - it corrupts whatever project I loaded it in to, leaving the project destroyed. I’ve lost weeks of work from this app, which is heartbreaking because I’ve really enjoyed it when it’s working. I really hope this is addressed in future updates because the app is unusable for me in this state, but I’m still giving it 3 stars for the things it does do.

グラニュラーシンセアプリは需要が あまり高く無いのかもしれないが、 設定パラメータ等も多く 優秀なシンセアプリだと思う。 以下、長所と惜しいと思う点を…。 長所: ・鍵盤部をスライドさせるだけで連続的な音階変化が可能。 ・マトリックス形式のパラメータ設定画面が分かり易い。 ・エンベロープの動きをリアルタイムで視認できる。 惜しい点 ・音声素材が1つしか扱えない。 ・アルペジエーター、又はシーケンサーがない。 音素材加工用としても優秀なので 今後に大いに期待したい。
ok aber Problembehaftet

Tolles Klangbild und intuitive Bedienung aber leider stürzt die App im stand–alone Modus immer wieder ab. Schade, habe daher den Kauf abgebrochen.
