Mazetools Mutant lets you make music in loops. On a square surface you play synths, drums, sampler, sequencer, filters and effects. Together, all the instruments form the Hypercube. Hyper- What?. The Hypercube is a space that changes your music multiperspectively....

The principle
Think of a record player, play the vinyl from 33 to 45 and everything sounds higher and faster. Conversely from 45 to 33 everything sounds slower and lower. It remains the same song, only the conditions are changed. Mutant works in a similar way. You play in a beat loop, then turn the Hypercube and hear everything from new perspectives.

According to this principle, new ideas and results emerge in the musical process. These don't have to reach perfection. Mutant stands for experimenting, making loops and exploring sound, it's the session, the moment and an audio recording that counts.

From Snapshots to Cloud Mutation
To capture the loops you've created, take a snapshot - an anchor point with all the instruments that you can always return to.

Load your snapshot into the cloud and locate it in three dimensions with Mood, Energy & Structure. If you then select another snapshot, it will be mutated in certain ways and many new perspectives will emerge.

Play together
In Collaboration Mode, two Mutant users can make music together via local network. All inputs are transmitted live and the people each play instruments or effects.

App information
We do our best to avoid bugs, often enough they drive us crazy or were disappointed when a moment was lost. But at some point it has to go out and after the update before the update. So feel free to write us bugs and problems, definitely also if you made a song or video.
The cloud is offline, but technically designed to be part of an online cloud for own user data and content sharing in the future. It was created as part of the Mazetools Assist research project. You can read more about it at Ectoplastic.com.
Mutant requires the microphone for audio recording, the local files to store projects and recordings, and the network for Collab Mode and Ableton Link.
Much more content, terms of use, credits and FAQ are in the app in the Guide and can be found in the app's Start-Up menu.

About Mazetools
Empowering creativity, democratizing musical expression and making it inclusive - how does that work? These are the questions that keep us busy. Mutant is a further step in the process, alongside Soniface, and provides important points of contact through the multitouch-based loop principle, the change of perspective and the cloud. But we want to go further - with you and the community.

Have a good time with Mutant,
Stephan & Jakob

MAZETOOLS MUTANT - MULTIPERSPECTIVE MUSIC
The app is a hyper-loop machine and uses the surfaces of a cube to play melodies, rhythms and sound surfaces by touch.
The resulting loops can be instantly given effects - and heard from different perspectives.

By turning the cube up, down, left and right, the self-composed loops change in tempo, pitch and harmony.
New moods and musical impressions are created - variations of the recorded sounds and melodies that provide fresh impulses to the creative process again and again.

EXPLORE MUTANT THROUGH INTUITIVE TOUCH CONTROL
The musical environment is based on 7 instruments: Synth, Bass, Arp, String, Drums, Percussion and Sampler. All interactions are recorded and played back in loops.


Each instrument has 4 main controllers for rhythmic impulses and timing, envelope and pitch curves, filters, distortion, chorus and echo effects.

MULTIPERSPECTIVE: VARY YOUR SOUND
Turn the Hypercube and switch between 8 variations of your current composition. They will differ in chord, speed and pitch. You can also choose between seven cubes, each with another acoustic environment.

CREATE, RECORD, SAVE & SHARE
You can sample your voice with the mic input, choose samples from a library or insert your own.

Take snapshots to hold your current state and get immediately back to it. You can save all Snapshots to a session file, which you can share with other Mutant users.

Record the main channel to a stereo wav audio file and use it for further music production and art.

COLLABORATIVE: EXPERIMENT & JAM TOGETHER
Once connected to the Collab mode, you can make music together by a new approach. Your current session will be sent and synced to other Mutant devices. In this way a session gets shared in the process of creation. .

Just log into the same Wifi, activate Collab and start making sound across platforms.

BLUETOOTH & ABLETON LINK
Mutant supports playback via Bluetooth devices. Ableton Link can be used for synchronization with other music apps.


SYSTEM

USE ON iOS 11&12 WITH 1GB RAM (iPhone 5s, 6, 6plus, iPad 2 Mini, Air 1)
It is possible to run Mutant on such old devices and we enhance the downwards compatibility steadily. Nevertheless, the use is limited!

LOWEST RECOMMENDED SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
2,3 Ghz CPU, 2 GB RAM
Good practice on iOS 13 and higher


ABOUT MAZETOOLS
Developed by Stephan Kloss since 2011, the apps combine music and technology in artistic practice.

Following a musical approach that focuses the process of making sound, many enthusiasts pushed the project with feedback. We look forward to the future and more Mazetools!

ECTOPLASTIC LAB
Stephan Kloss and Jakob Gruhl met in 1999 as HipHop and electronic music enthusiasts. Since 2013 they have been doing independent research on music, art & technology.

The Mazetools development is closely connected to music music projects & sound design, generative art, VR development as well as giving workshops.
