· Sound serving your imagination
Acoustbl allows you to make music and handle the sound in a new and intuitive way, designing your own live sound and the mixturing within the tracks that you can play or record on the fly. You can mix yourself straight on an autonomous rec and play system. Effects on or off, graduate them, mix them, just explore your real or filtered sound.
Moreover, Acoustbl lets you add Acoustbl+ module, with which you can extend the possibilities of your instrument. Acoustbl+ is a sound gallery formed by the most important performers and instrumetalists of our time, they share their effects and resources with Acoustbl users. (More info: http://acoustbl.com)
· A new way to make music
With an interface designed for live performance, Acoustbl gives the musician quick and precise access to all the instrument functionality at any time. Unlike other apps that try to approach to improvisation or apps designed for tactile or gestural issues, Acoustbl has been planned to bring an absolutely freedom to the performer into the design of their own live electronic language.
