Description

Please note: moodunits have been designed as a set of instrument and effect Audio Units. You need to load moodunits into any AUv3 compatible host application running on iPad or iPhone, such as GarageBand or AUM. The moodunits app is not a standalone instrument.
More about moodunits...
Waverley is the principal instrument in the moodunits collection. It’s sample-based, but it isn’t a fully-fledged sampling app that allows you to load and edit your own samples. There are already great apps out there that allow you to do that.
Waverley in moodunits is pre-loaded with 30 factory sounds, that can be tweaked to taste via parameters that will hopefully be familiar to most of you. However, don’t worry if some parameter names look technical or scary - just experiment! You can’t really “break” Waverley or make “bad” sounds with it.
Probably the most popular type of sounds used in iOS music making come from analog synthesisers. Sometimes these sounds are generated by modelling but in Waverley’s case, the factory instruments come from samples of real analog gear. On the one hand, it’s really easy to mathematically generate a perfect saw wave, but sometimes the problem is that it sounds… perfect. Analog synthesisers tend to produce less than perfect waveforms, and it’s generally agreed that’s a big part of what makes them sound “good”.
By using samples, Waverley instruments capture some of the “magic” of the real gear, without having to use CPU-intensive modelling techniques. This means you can run more instances of Waverley in your host as not only is Waverley light on CPU, it’s very efficient with memory too. As well as basic analog sounds such as saw and square wave, Waverley also has sounds with effects already applied using top-end boutique signal processors, so you might be able to find a big pad sound in Waverley that you can use in a project, without having to run a bigger / more demanding instrument going through a bunch of other effects AUs.
But Waverley isn't just about analog gear. You can expand your musical palette via purchases and free downloads from the MU Store as In-App purchases. The MU Store will include an ever expanding range of conventional, as well as "impossible" instruments that will hopefully inspire you during your music creation process.
Another usage scenario for Waverley is if you’re just sketching out an idea, perhaps on a less-capable device like your iPhone while you’re on the move. Maybe the instrument you really want to use only runs on iPad, but there’s a Waverley sound that gets you pretty close and you don’t run the risk of getting distracted with dozens of parameters or a complex UI.
moodunits also comes with some basic effects, allowing you to create a great sounding musical project using just moodunits and your favourite AU host. In keeping with the moodunits design principal, the effects are light on CPU and expose a few essential parameters. They're probably not going to replace your favourite bells and whistles mega reverb or delay, but their simplicity might come as a refreshing change. Currently these effects include a delay, reverb, low-pass filter, 10-band EQ, peak limiter and distortion.
Please note:
The moodunits app is not a standalone instrument, but can be used to access a detailed PDF user guide. Once you run the app, your moodunits are registered on your device and are ready to be used for music projects in your AU host of choice. For instructions on how to use Audio Units, please refer to relevant documentation for your host, e.g. GarageBand or AUM, etc.
Note for advanced users: with the exception of the filter cutoff frequency and resonance in the filter AU, none of the parameters are exposed for automation. Also, please note that the design goals for moodunits is focussed on ease of use, so some advanced users may find the features basic. The screenshots and demo videos online should give you a good idea of what's possible. If in doubt, please ask.

I want to like synths but can’t. This is the answer.

I’ve never written anything with the synths I have. I just go through presets and tweak them. With Moodunits I had something recorded in an hour. I’m looking forward to buying the IAP’s and then trying them in Touchscaper.
Great value for money, inspiring and immediately enjoyable.

Excellent, inexpensive, and inspiring.

Version 1.5.4
MU Waverley is excellent. It sounds really good 'straight out of the box', but when the iap's come into play, Waverley becomes a beast (I've only downloaded the free iap's so far, but will grab the paid ones very soon).
I had a couple of small issues, but Rob was so prompt and helpful, that I was sorted within 20 minutes (and it's likely that the issues were due to something I did wrong).
5 stars.
Highly recommended.

It’s not all about the sounds!

Version 1.5.2
There’s a reason this app is scoring great reviews, players love the sounds... but I’m scoring this on the incredible help and support from the developer. I had a download issue and this was resolved in the blink of an eye. Because of this, I am happy to continue purchasing these fabulous apps. So if you love luscious ambient pads that MU offers with the knowledge that the developer is looking after you, then go ahead and join in the fun. Jason.

Ultra useful sounds

Version 1.4.1
This is a great idea, well thought out and decently executed. A rapidly expanding range of good quality samples so even my lil old iPad mini 4 can be used for sound making on the go. I’m using them in AUM with Touchscaper and MidiSTEPs to great effect. Highly recommended.
Can we have some tasty Juno pads and basses next please Rob?

Rob does it again

An app full of amazing sounds and effects. I use them now, in some combination, in most tracks I make.

Stunning!

Since this new update with the IAPs I am just in heaven lost for hours in these fantastic patches!
To the Dev, please add more of these sound banks I would gladly pay double for these!

For when you just want to make music with great sounds

Version 1.2.0
I have got a lot of complex and beautiful synth apps, that I can lose myself in for hours doing, ahem ‘sound design’.
Two problems: sometimes these very complex things take huge amounts of cpu, or don’t play well with others, or crash.
And that sound design rabbit hole can distract me from ever actually, you know, making some music.
Which is where the truly excellent Moodunits suite of AU apps comes in.
One purchase gets you not only a great collection of tweakable but instantly gratifying synth sounds - pads, leads, basses, FX, all present and correct - and a select but growing collection of quality FX - reverb, delay, filter, distortion, eq - but these are all super-light on cpu.
So you can load up multiple instances and go crazy with FX, and still have everything run seamlessly in AUM or the host of your choice.
A great idea, excellently implemented, and massive bang for buck. Plus the dev is adding more units too...

Great stuff

Version 1.1.0
Coming from touchscaper which is superb,love this app.Considering I play guitar I am now enthralled with these type of sounds I’ve not much keyboard skills but can get great pad sounds in AUM .Wondered where all these names were coming from Rob as it looks like I live very near you in a village outside Edinburgh,keep up the good work what you are developing is superb.

As Expected
