4/5beautiful, but ..
Of ALL the apps i own of this variety (EVERY ONE REALLY) this one stands out above the rest. its beautiful, organic, leaves a lot of room for personal tweaking, so on and so forth. i spend an significant time with it, and i deem it time well spent. My only issue is that it only runs on my phone, my pads will show the opening screen then blank out into nothing. yes my pads r recent enough and up to date. i was really hoping to contact the developer directly and skip this route altogether, but i don’t see a way, despite him having a nice enough website theres no method of contact. Can u pls look into this, i want the magic Large, not contained just on my phone screen. THX THX THX 🙏

5/5Stunning
I love this app because aside from the Vasulkas, Whitney is a hero of mine, and this just makes waveforms that much more of an exciting moving medium for art. That said, eagerly awaiting desktop and wonder if you are building in a midi control capability to live create, and adding the effects and other features like an xyz axis flexibility? ..an amazing original app with amazing recent improvements. Thanks!!!!

4/5Lots of potential
Similar to Uzu and Gravilocity without the realtime multitouch performance capability. But I love how this one uses oscillators, frequency, etc. seems more "musical" in a way. Would love to see multitouch implemented so that you could perform with this. I love some of the intricate and emotive designs you can get. Website says that a laptop version is in the works but that was back in 2013.

5/5Incredible visuals!
I’m very surprised that there are no reviews of this yet… This app is phenomenal. It’s got some amazingly trance-inducing capabilities. Very configurable; one can start from scratch, develop personalized patterns, and there are incredible presets that can be modified according to taste. Foreground and background colors can be changed. Dot density and shape can be changed. Getting screenshots of the patterning is a great thing to do, because you can add the resulting video as layers in something like LumaFusion, After Effects, Imaginando VS, etc. Very highly recommended!

5/5Harmonics
When tuning the four visual oscillators I sometimes find a sweet spot. It’s as though I’ve come along a visual harmonic especially when using lower LFO speeds. A great audio analogy is a polyrhythm. Would love be able to set numerically specific frequencies/parameters. Brilliant work and thank you. *When possible increase the number of patch slots and it would be super if you could provide a share button so we can open up the exact same patch on another device.
