Esion 1.1

Esion is a sound design and experimentation tool that offers a unique approach to creating ambient sonic textures and complex evolving loops. The application allows users to record audio samples into three independent tracks, each of which is processed through an effect chain containing a pitch shifter, bit crusher, delay, and reverb.

An interesting feature of Esion is the ability to adjust the parameters of each effect by manipulating circles on the XY pad, offering a customizable and dynamic sound shaping experience. Furthermore, users can easily overwrite recordings to explore different textures while retaining the effect settings.

Unlike conventional loopers, Esion does not rely on time synchronization or rhythm-based patterns, positioning itself as a tool for experimental sound design rather than traditional beat creation. The application allows for real-time manipulation and recording of performances, with the option to export recordings as WAV files for further editing or sharing.

• 3 independent tracks available
• Record audio loops using the microphone
• Real-time loop reversal feature
• On-the-fly loop control options (mute/disable/clear)
• Flexible architecture with independent control over effects and tracks

The app's intuitive XY pad interface enables users to control various parameters for each track separately, enhancing the creative possibilities. Esion offers a universal app experience for iPhone and iPad users, promoting accessibility and convenience.

While Esion may not support some features like Audiobus/IAA/AUv3/Ableton Link or tempo synchronization typical in beat-focused applications, its standalone nature emphasizes its distinct focus on sound experimentation and unconventional music creation.

Esion, a product of Canadian craftsmanship, invites users to delve into the realm of otherworldly soundscapes with its innovative features and user-friendly design.
