Spookio

Nowadays you depend less on actual instruments to create a song, even though the best quality is obtained through them. Depending on the project you’re working on, you might not necessarily need a fully-fledged editor to create sound. In this regard, Spookio helps you generate different frequencies to use as effects.

Interactive board to generate sound

The main window is visually appealing, with a clean, colorful layout wrapped around a classic window frame. You can start to create effects right away, with feedback generated in real time. Moreover, cool effects, and background transformation get triggered as the sound emitter is moved to indicate pitch, and volume.
Generating sound is done by dragging a circular emitter over a board which functions in a similar way to an equalizer. The horizontal axis is used to adjust pitch level, while moving the circle up and down modifies volume. Audio feedback is continuous, and you need to drag the object all the way to the bottom to turn sound off.

Additional effects, and recording options

A few knobs can be used to adjust delay, and reverb. However, it’s a good idea to pay a visit to the instructions panel to see what other enhancements can be made. For instance, sound frequency can be on one of three levels, while several keys allow the application to be played as an instrument, and a few more.
On the bright side of things, it also comes packed with a recorder so you don’t depend on other applications for this operation. Triggering the recording sessions prompts for a location to save the new file, which can be AIF, SND, WAV, and DATA. All you need to do next is to start the session, and stop whenever you’re done, with the file automatically saved to the specified location.

In conclusion

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that Spookio presents an interesting method to create audio effects. The interactive panel constantly emits sound as you adjust volume and pitch through a control object. Additional effects can be used, and recording makes sure you also save sound file on your hard disk drive.
