MoMinstruments / Elastic Instruments is a label for unique software instruments for Apple’s iOS mobile device platform. Run by Oliver Greschke (O-G-SUS) and Mouse on Mars’ Jan St. Werner, Andi Toma. MoMinstruments develops and curates apps with a genuine sound and workflow and promotes new intuitive approaches on sound creation.
MoMinstruments‘ first release was WretchUp an effect-instrument for the iphone. Designed by Mouse on Mars, developed by Florian Grote and Peter Kirn and finalized by Oliver Greschke it is a “monster of feedback delay madness” (Create Digital Music).
The second release Elastic Drums by Oliver Greschke has been a great commercial success, it got one of the best selling and best known drum apps in the iTunes store. It’s a flexible drum synthesizer with extreme sound manipulation possibilities. The third release fluXpad released in September 2016 is a sample-sequencer that functions by simply drawing the sounds. It was developed by Mouse on Mars and Jan Trützschler (TeaTracks) and has been widely acknowledged by international artists and developers. Justin Vernon (Bon Iver): „I’m LOVING fluXpad. working with it all last week week… so fun.“
Strike number four was Elastic FX, a 4 channels multi-effect processor which is easy and intuitive to play, but offers complex options to shape the sound.

Oliver Greschke is also head of the development team of Flip Sampler, a collaboration with YouTube star and music innovator Andrew Huang. Flip Sampler was released 2021 for iOS, 2022 for Android and is one of the most known sample apps on both platforms. 

In 2023, Greschke teamed up with long-time collaborator Matt Davey to launch Molli Looper – a fresh take on live looping. Combining the immediacy of classic hardware loopers with a modern, experimental edge, Molli Looper has been praised for its musicality and spontaneous performance potential.

The momentum continued into 2024 with the release of Elastic Melody, a three-track sequencer featuring an analog-style sound engine and four master effects. Designed to offer a balance between structured sequencing and open-ended sound exploration, Elastic Melody was noted for its distinctive character and accessible workflow.
