Sculpt Musical Grooves Out Of Thin Air

Make musical magic by gliding your fingertips over spinning crowns, creating real-time electronic music with a few swipes. As effortless as a toy, OscilloScoop gives you the tools DJs and electronic musicians use to create intricate grooves, with a hand-waving interface inspired by video games and dancers.

OscilloScoop features four custom presets that combine gesture-editable spinning digital filters and quantized note patterns with preset tempo, volume, color, and animation. Wave one finger to cut into each of OscilloScoop’s spinning crowns, or open all your hands to form sonic landscapes from your fingertips.

OscilloScoop is designed by Lukas Girling, a creator of interactive musical interfaces who has worked with world-renowned musicians and music technologists including Laurie Anderson and Max Mathews. The app was created in collaboration with Snibbe Studio, creator of the bestselling apps Bubble Harp and Gravilux, Philip Glass and Beck’s REWORK App Album, and producer of Björk’s Biophilia App Album.

    Enough flair to toy with, but I do not see any great depth to keep you interested.

    Could be interesting but remains at the very base of what such an app should do like any other sampler or looper app : 1- We should be able to load our own loops or samples and modify them. 2- We should be able to change a bunch of other parameters, reverb, flange whatever. 3- Look at Reactable or synthPond iOS apps for inspiration... Still hoping for an app that goes further than the surface of what Leap can do. 4- Work an interface... Selection and editing is iffy at best.

     


  • Very cool and somewhat hypnotizing

    Although very simple, it manages to be innovative enough to catch you, and I must say that I made some pretty good "music" with this. I don't give the 5 stars because it lacks more options and customization. I really hope the developer keeps updating the app and making it better.

     


  • Very cool idea, fun to tinker with sound

    It's a neat toy and shows a lot of potential. I hope the developer expands on this with more options and creative interactions. A few db of attenuation would fix the clipping I'm hearing through a Fireface 400 (not a problem with built-in audio on OS X, but the RME driver hard clips digital output pre-fader).
