I don't know if this topic has been covered yet.
I use a few other apps that compliment caustic.
Chordbot pro is good for creating chords as the name says and you can export midi and wave files to import into caustic,midi import coming in caustic 3.
I got a copy of virtual ans that is perfect for strange soundscapes.that also has wav export and import.
Gstomper is good for some different fx chaining and a drum machine sampler and also has wav export so you can chuck it into the pcm synth.
For recording a vocal or live instrument track I use loopstack or audio evolution mobile,
Both have wav export.
I bought sunvox, that is ok if you want to make chiptunes etc.
Anyone else found any apps that compliment caustic?
Favourite Android app you use with Caustic
The ANS is crazy!

sunvox is so much better than just chiptunes. i went through the trouble of getting permission to make my own samples in it for use in caustic. its capable of some truly beautiful sounds
SunVox is so much more than chiptune!
One other application that is great for fucking up some sound sources with is Robovox. If it only permitted to import wav files directly it would be perfect.
Yes Virtual ANS is also perfect to make things with to use together with Caustic.
There is also a lot of synthesizers that have recording and there own personality to make samples from that can be incorporated-
Nanoloop
Heat synth
Easy synth
Synprezfm
shape synth
skrot
droiditar
eerie synth
Kosm
Nodebeat
And one that is not for your Android devices but is for free and and can do fantastic things to your sound sources- Paulstretch
And more but definitively check these out if you are looking to complement Caustic.
Also love G-Stomper but it is not so much a complement to Caustic just another workflow the same with RD4 and Reactable...
This is the time the night and the year
I'm going to give sunvox another listen.
Thanks musical Android for the list of apps,I just went and got them all,Robovox is a brilliant app and right up my street,shame you can't import wave,Im gonna contact the developer and ask for that feature.
i'm using a chordbot some times... :-) realy cool app. and a sonic chop for making a wav samples :-)
Hmmmm...... where I'm sitting now my music-making tools and sound design is about 90% Caustic App -- 10% outside tools for advanced audio editing and DSP handling for preset creation and serious vocal editing.... (more on that later)
The majority of the above named synths lack wav export. With that and the lack of sequencing/appregiating I personally have no use for them.
Just remember another one that can be really good but looks like it is not much plus that the demo video they made does not make the sound any justice.
Synchroid.
Sounds very good and you draw in sequnces,
but as you can set the bpm it is easy to do figures of sound and incorporate it with the music that you are working on.
One application that will be a very good addition but is not out yet is Yellofier... is said to come for Android in the end of this year.

Synchroid seems to be good for making intuitive sequences which I like.
But what I saw from the app that you can't save the sequence as mid file to import the notes into caustic.
Do you know an app which can do this?

Some of the apps mentioned can export midi but do not see much point in that as the idea is to add to the Caustic sounds that you can not get or not easily get from Caustic itself.
Like Synchroid for example a big part of what make sit interesting is hoe the glides and cut off etc interacts with the sound in the drawn sequence and especiallay if you play with the parameters live. You export this to midi it does not make much sense.
Think that it much more interesting to try things played or sequenced/arpeggiated record while the music you want to work on in Caustic plays and cut up the recording and feed the sampler/s in Caustic...
Of course you nedd two devices or a multitrack program / DAW or multi track device for this but this is something that you sooner or later is going to have to get in the end anyway if you want to work on your music on a deeper level like recording live instruments vocals etc- and editing longer sound files is definitively much easier... There is some for free but there is some cheaper ones to that are really good- I use Reaper which I love.

I'm using Music Speed Changer by Hipxel along with some other apps already posted.
Music Speed Changer changes the Speed of an audio file (i only use wav) without affecting the pitch, and vice versa, and saves it to a new file if you want.
I use it to change the speed or pitch of vocals to fit in my tracks.
It lacks a BPM measure/set function, so its a bit tricky.
As far as I know this is done using the Soundstretch Library from surina.net.
The source is available for download.
I would really like to see such a feature built-in into caustic.
Please excuse me for my english, my native language is german. :)
