13 Positive User Reviews for Stria
;(
It sounds awesome, but it crashed my iPhone 4. There should be a big warning...If they make it less CPU hungry I will be super happy. Right now I'm scared to open it. I dont get why someone wouldn't think this is musical, guess they just want another virtual analogue.
Nice but...
Nice app with interesting sound potential, but Audio Paste does not work, so you are limited to the sounds that come with the app. If this feature is fixed it will be a 5 star app. Also, support is negligible.
Amazing
How can I describe the app and how I feel about it….well Stria makes me feel like I have my own personal CCRMA
whoa! another amazing app fromapesoft
i find so many usefull sounds and loops from all of apesofts apps. this one is not the same as pulsaret !! vesatile,strange,unique sounds and noises are easy to achieve with this..
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.
Stunning
The only gripe I have with this app is that there is no way (not that I know of) to load your own samples as a sound source. Every other app from Ape Soft has this ability. Other than that this is another stunning, amazing and inspirational music application from Ape Soft. I've gotten some truly odd and amazing soundscapes and sounds out of this app. It's a bit confusing in some ways but if you toy around with it and keep your mind open you'll be pleasantly surprised time and time again.
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.
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!
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 s
I NEED Moebius Lab back guys
What happened to the best music studio host out here?!?
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
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.
Amazing
Deep & Wonderful synth. I am impressed!
