1. Synthesizer

- Bumbly Synthesizer makes sound by simulating the movement of the wings of insects.
- Draw single-cycle waveforms inspired by how insects (bees, mosquitoes, flies) create airflow with their wings, or sketch classic waveforms to hear them in action.

- Experiment with the synthesizer parameters and enjoy interesting sound variations.

2. Musical Instrument

- Use Bumbly as a musical instrument.
- Play music with 6 customizable sound panels.
- Customize size, position, pitch range, velocity control(on/off), horizontal/vertical, continuous/discrete pitch, appearance(grid,note names) of sound panels.
- Make familiar instruments (piano, guitar) or your own creative instrument.

3. Sequencer

### 2/5 — Cant export anything

*2023-04-17*

Ive made a sound and I’d like to be able to export it off my phone and onto my pc.

### 3/5 — Very interesting, but not sure if it’s good or bad

*2019-08-29*

This synth reminds me a lot of early computer music including that of the PLATO and Commodore 64. It can also sound experimental. While the sequencer is cool in that you can draw on it, the sound aliases at high frequencies, which is bad. I think an additive harmonic editor for the waveforms as well as a filter would help a lot.
