Reverie: Soundscape Generator

Ambient drones & textures

Free · In‑App Purchases

iPad

Turn ten seconds of anything into ten minutes of slow, drifting ambient: a voice, a cymbal, rain on a window. Then play what you made from a keyboard, in any AUv3 host. Turn any sound into slow, evolving ambient. Reverie takes a sample, a loop, a song, or a field recording and stretches it into long, drifting soundscapes and drones. A few seconds of audio can become many minutes of calm, cinematic texture. Drop in a file, choose a style, and Reverie does the rest. HOW IT WORKS 1. Bring in any audio: from the Files app, by drag and drop, from the iPad microphone or a USB interface, or straight off a track in your DAW with the Reverie Capture plugin. 2. Drag two handles across the waveform if you only want part of it stretched. 3. Pick a style, then shape it with four simple sliders: variation, brightness, stretch, and duration. 4. Listen, then export your soundscape to keep, share, or drop into your own projects. No music theory, no studio needed. Every render comes out a little different, so you can keep exploring until something feels right. STYLES AND PRESETS More than twenty styles, from warm and luminous to dark, aquatic, choral, and deep drone. Twenty ready-made presets give you a finished starting point: Deep Ocean, Cathedral, Infinite Drone, Frozen Time, Forest Breathing, and more. Want to go further? Build your own chain from thirty-seven effects, including time-stretching, spectral freezing, shimmer reverb, tape saturation, and resonators. AUv3: IN AND OUT OF YOUR DAW Reverie ships with two AUv3 plugins, for AUM, Logic Pro, GarageBand, Cubasis and any other AUv3 host. You make your textures in the app; the plugins are how they get in and out of a session. Parallel Minds: Reverie is an instrument that plays your library. Choose a texture you have already made, then play it from a keyboard: hold a note and the drone holds, release it and the tail falls away. It follows the host transport, and its controls can be MIDI-mapped and automated. Parallel Minds: Reverie Capture is an effect. Put it on any bus and it passes audio through untouched. Arm it and it also records that bus, punching in when the host plays. The recording lands in the app, ready to stretch. No bouncing, no exporting.

This version is about what goes into Reverie and what comes out of it. Two AUv3 plugins connect it to your DAW, in both directions, and the app can now record a sound for itself instead of waiting for a file. PLAY YOUR TEXTURES IN AN AUv3 HOST A texture used to leave Reverie as an exported file you then dragged into a track. Now it can play in the session itself, in time with everything else. Load "Parallel Minds: Reverie" in AUM, Logic Pro, GarageBand, Cubasis or any other AUv3 host and it shows up as an instrument. It does not generate: you still make your textures in the app, and the plugin opens your library and plays them. From a keyboard, so a held note holds the drone and releasing it lets the tail fall away. It follows the host transport and moves with the playhead. Inside the plugin: search, favourites, your own presets, MIDI-mappable controls, automation, and the app's rendering progress so you know when the next texture is ready. RECORD A DAW TRACK BACK INTO REVERIE The other direction: the pad you just wrote, four bars of a loop, the tail of your own mix, any of it can become the next thing you stretch. "Parallel Minds: Reverie Capture" is the second plugin, an effect this time. Drop it on any bus and the audio passes through untouched. Arm it and it also records what goes past, starting when the host plays and stopping on the tail. The recording lands in Reverie's new Sources inbox, ready to stretch. No bouncing, no exporting, no hunting through Files. RECORD INTO THE APP No DAW involved: Reverie now records by itself, from the iPad microphone or a USB interface. So the thing you stretch can be the room you are sitting in, a voice, a passing train, anything you can point a mic at, with no file to find first. Pick your input, watch the level, see the time you have left. When you stop, the take goes straight to the editor. CHOOSE THE PART THAT GETS STRETCHED Two handles on the waveform pick the piece that feeds the engine: the room tone before a vocal comes in, the tail of a cymbal, one breath in the middle of a field recording. It plays back as you set it, so you hear the edges before you commit. ALSO IN THIS VERSION - Loop switch on every result, on by default - Rename anything in your library - A new look throughout, with each result carrying the colour of the preset that made it - The most spectral presets, DNA Splice among them, no longer come out much quieter than the rest: the last stage of the mastering chain is now a soft limiter instead of a flat trim, so one stray peak stops setting the level of a whole render FIXED - Dragging files in from Files and other apps works again - Quitting or reloading during a render could crash the app - Deleting a saved take no longer leaves its card behind, and reaching the end of a take resets the player - Better memory handling on long renders A note on seeds: because the mastering stage changed, a seed saved in 1.13 still restores the same chain and the same settings, but the audio it renders will not be identical. Anything you have already exported is untouched.
