Bastl Instruments is renowned for its unique synthesizers, modular systems, and music-making tools, all of which embrace a hands-on, customizable, and open-source ethos. Their products reflect a commitment to bridging the gap between traditional and electronic music, empowering artists to explore new sonic territories.
Recently, Bastl expanded on this idea with the release of their first app, OUTSIDIFY, just in time for their 10th birthday. This innovative app opens up a world of sonic possibilities right from the palm of your hand. Using the microphone and speaker of your smartphone, OUTSIDIFY enables you to create feedback, manipulate resonances, and even capture impulse responses to be used in any convolution device such as the KHS Convolver.
Here are the features:
- Player
— for replaying your files
— loop
— adjustable start and end points
— ¼ to 4x speed slider
— crop/uncrop - Recorder
— for recording and replaying sounds
— mix crossfader between the microphone and the player
— save wav files (export to files, airdrop, apps etc.)
— adjustable start and end points
— copy the recording buffer directly to player
— speed-match recording (re-adjusts the recorded speed proportionally to the speed set in the player, preserving the pitch) - Feedback pad with amount and tone
- Delay of the microphone going back to the feedback
- Timer macros
— set countdown time
— record trigger
— play & record trigger
— capture impulse response
Outsidify encourages exploration, and all you need is the device that most of us have in our pockets every time we head out into the world. The app is now available for $5.99 on iOS 15.2 and above and on iPhone 6S and later. Outsidify on the APPstore.
