DroneLab creates slowly shifting musical soundscapes.
Control three continuous audio sources running in parallel, each with its own rate of shifting intensity. Expand the soundscape with unusual sound effects crafted specifically for DroneLab.
Get going quickly by selecting one of the included presets. Go further by selecting and customizing the sound sources, and save your own presets to the list.
Create soundscapes for your music and video projects:
- Export a stereo audio file with your current settings, at sample rates up to 96KHz. On newer devices, exports occur faster than real time.
- Or, you can record in real time, capturing all the changes you make to the sounds as you go.
DroneLab is great for improvisation and experimentation:
- Explore the melodic side of your instrument in a fun, relaxing setting.
- Warm up before practicing more difficult material.
- Explore sounds and articulations that aren't part of your usual repertoire.

Really like this, its perfect for playing around with ambient soundscapes.Would really like to see some compatability with either Audiobus or AUM as unless I'm missing it (and thats very possible, I'm not that experienced..) I don't see any way to mix it with other synth's to create that killer ambient jam.. :)Nice though, still a cool app.
Useful app but could be better with more development

This app sounds great and I can use it’s sounds in my music but not quite as easily as if it was AUM or Audiobus compatible.I can record a tracks worth of Drone sounds and then play the file in AUM but It would be so much easier and tweakable if it could be loaded as an instrument. That way further effect apps could be added and a soundscape could be created on the fly.Also an x/y filter pad would really make this app sing and offer up more textures to play with. If it had a little more functionality It’d be worth the 5 stars and a little more money 😊

Brilliant, love it!
Good, but missing AUv3

Promising start for this ambient soundscape app. It's intuitive and capable of good sounds. Would get five stars if it had AUv3, so it could be loaded in AUM, Cubasis etc to add additional effects and mix with other synths. At the moment the only possibility is to export as audio and import the audio as a file player in AUM, which is rather inflexible.
