Stria

  • So Good ★★★★★
    The range of sounds along with the ability to modulate endlessly makes this a fantastic playground of sound. If you love soundscapes, this is for you! It takes some time to learn but there is a fine tutorial from Gavinski. And it is ridiculously inexpensive for what you get.

  • Unmatched granular performer even in 2025 ★★★★★
    My biggest regret in iOS music production, has been sleeping on Apesoft, Amazing Noises incredible offerings. They have always been next level. I personally believe that spectral/spatial audio is the future of entertainment, like when stereo was first introduced. Had I understood sooner, I could have been mastered these apps, here I am discovering decade old software that still outperforms the most expensive granular scrubbers. It's stupidly incredible

  • Fantastic ★★★★★
    This thing is also a work of art. It is a sound maker's dream tool. It's very cool that the designer gives such credit to John Chowning and Max Matthews (look them up if you are not familiar.) Hours and hours of very original sounds come out of this. Ps. I'm not affiliated with apeSoft in any way. Even if they wanted to pay me to write these reviews i would turn down the offer. ( not vst versions!) Edit: made a comparison to iPulsaret but i was thinking iDensity not Stria. 2 years later i am still impressed.

  • Experimental Madness! ★★★★★
    Stria seems essential to me as someone who loves experimental music, avant-garde weirdness. Amazing way to play with process sound. Fans of apps like SoundScaper will love all of apesoft's apps in this series. It was also a bonus to look into where the word Stria came from in relation to electronic music. Have fun!

  • Fascinating app -but requires patience ★★★★★
    My initial impression was that this app was good for ethereal sound effects. After exploring it in depth by stripping down to the basics, I am now finding there are quite musical alternate tuning capabilities. The ability to modulate every parameter via the controller page opens up endless possibilities. Been able to conjure up sounds and alternate turnings reminiscent of W. Carlos's "Beauty and the Beast". Very cool.

  • Wondeful and Strange ★★★★★
    If you are into CCRMA/IRCAM, or just want crazy unique sounds then this is pretty decent. Not as essential as some of their other apps, but definitely inspiring.
