VU950 downloads
Worldwide, per day, and installs to date. The band is open; the exact number is free with an account.
How this is calculated
Apple publishes no download counts. App Store downloads come from chart positions and daily rating growth per country, calibrated on Google Play install counts; lifetime installs from ratings worldwide × installs per rating. Confidence is the chance the real number is within half to double ours.
Active users
All platforms, worldwide. Free with an account.
Stickiness (DAU / MAU)
how many monthly users open it on a given day
How this is calculated
Monthly users come from lifetime installs across every store, fitted on monthly active user figures companies publish; daily users = monthly × the typical daily/monthly ratio for the category. Confidence is the chance the real number is within half to double ours.
Business model: Ad-led

recent stars not readable yet: new ratings are a tiny share of the total
Review momentum
61/100
faster than 69% of Music apps
Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.
What users say about VU950
From recent reviews.
About VU950
VU950 is not about realism. It is about behavior. Sound shaped by limits, gain interaction and audible artifacts — the same forces that defined early digital samplers.
Draws inspiration from classic midi sequencers combined with samplers.
Why it sounds the way it does
Instead of emulating a single piece of hardware, VU950 recreates the way early samplers behaved internally. Resolution limits, imperfect filtering and non-linear stages are treated as musical decisions, not technical flaws.
What shapes the sound
VU950 sample rate: 7.5 kHz to 48 kHz
Full timestretch workflow with classic hardware sampler tone
Reduced bit depth processing for early-digital density
User-adjustable anti-aliasing behavior
Stereo signal path with selectable left or right input channel
Dedicated input gain stage with drive and circuit bias
Multiple filtering stages including bandwidth limitation
Built-in low-pass filter for tone shaping
Anti-aliasing tuned for musical artifacts, not transparency
Non-linear processing across the entire signal path
Output gain stage that affects tone and density, not just level
MIDI-controllable parameters for hands-on workflow
Maximum sample length: 63 seconds
Truncate option to trim sample
Precise mode for precise trimming on start and end screen
One or eight voices of polyphony
Precise start and end point control for trimming
Chop function with selectable amount of slices
And that was just VU950 AUv3 plugin.
In Standalone:
8 tracks
Support for hosting AUv3 apps to change VU950 sound engine to any sound You like.
Build in multi sampler - VU20.
Build in midi device - VUMIDI.
Mixer with 4 inserts per track.
17 build in effects like filters, eq, compressors
Possibility to use 4 AUv3 effects per channel
Step Sequencer
Piano Roll.
Song Mode
Live Mode
Export wav with stems.
Loading samples to build in turntable and record samples to VU950/VU20 or another AUv3 plugin with inputs
Classic and modern UI template (Modern is fully customisable)
In app purchases drumkits are downloadable after purchase (MPC60 drumkit for free)
You can check also my another beatmaking app - VU202 - which is free and it is also a AUv3 instrument so You can use VU202 in VU950!
