Week 4 EOC: The Cult of Apple



An idea for an app I have would be a sample based synthesizer. The idea would be that you could take a sound, put it in this app, and then do whatever you want with it and, if you want, put it in a sequence with other sounds you have or created. You could either import audio from a file on your phone, record a sound from the built in microphone, record a sound from the sound card of your phone, or even use an internal synth to make whatever sounds you want. When you have it recorded you can filter the sound, distort, modulate, or just completely destroy the sound you have and make it something completely different. This could be used by anybody who is interested in making a composition based on samples, or even making sound effects wherever and whenever they would want. It could function as a bit of a digital audio workspace as well as it is a sound recorder you can layer and distort sound with. This could be used by musicians, sound designers on the go, and anybody that would just want to play around with something that simply messes around with sound. One instance that this app could be used for is somebody is walking around and they hear something, whether they like the tone or timbre of the sound, record it and add it to their library of sounds they have recorded. From there a person could leave it alone, add it to a composition, make it an interesting sound effect, or even export whatever interesting sound you have in whatever format works best for you. The app could even be used in conjunction with other apps to publish your sound or work to whatever platform you want. I could see myself using this app as I am a person that enjoys playing around with various sounds.
