Developer Igor Vasiliev has updated SoundScaper experimental sound mini lab to version 1.7.

The update significantly expands functionality of oscillators, including: enhanced noise control, different kinds of distortions based on simulations of unstable work of clock and pulse-width modulation modules, amplitude modulation, new possibilities of controls by the trigger and frequency modulation for the final mangling of samples. 

Here’s what’s new in SoundScaper 1.7:

• Ready-to-use oscillator presets.
• New user interface of oscillator control panel.
• Improved internal sound engine.
• Amplitude modulation of output signal.
• Sine and triangle waveforms of amplitude modulation.
• Change PWM carrier frequency for more lofi effect.
• Simulate degradation of PWM circuits / decrease bit depth.
• Control of unstability of oscillator clock.
• Three types of generated noise like the real circuits.
• Additional control for level of noise.
• Two range individual LFO for modulation of clock frequency.
• Frequency modulation by output signal from other oscillators.
• Added the mode when trigger waits end of sample playback.
• Trigger can shift bits on address lines.
• Reverse shift mode of bits on address lines
• Improved presets / samples list in the oscillator panel.
• Button for preview sample in the list.
• Added samples in built-in library.

SoundScaper 1.7 is available for US $9.99 in the App Store.
