About

This app is a physical-modeling audio synthesizer that simulates sound through the interaction of springs, masses, and activators. It offers detailed control over various physical parameters and comes with a large library of presets. It can be used as a sound generator or effect, and supports MIDI and expressive controllers.

March 11, 2026

Support of EganMatrix firmware 1070 and up

User reviews

Needs an update.

This app no longer works as a remote for the ContinuuMini with FW version 10.52. This leaves a serious hole in using it as a preset and parameter controller during live performances.
Please help us with an update. Thank you!

Great physical modeling, needs AUv3

The control surface is expressive but quite sensitive. I’d love to utilize the patches and controls via a more traditional MIDI controller. Hoping the developer adds AUv3 support so that’s possible on apps like AUM rather than just Audiobus.

An intuitive beauty of an instrument!!!

Absolutely Remarkable!!! Please develop some more instruments based on physics etc?!? ... This thing is Incredible!!!

Connectivity Issue

I picked up an iPad and a WIDI Jack from CME with the intention of making the customization and performance with my Continuum more simplified. That proved to be necessary since I have an Osmose here and the Haken Editor (a MAX application) was clashing with the Osmose editor on my MacBook Pro.

My thought process was to use the MacBook Pro with Haken Editor to work with the Osmose and use this app to work with the Continuum (keeping the two worlds separate and thus allowing for editing both devices at the same time). An added benefit would be the capability of editing my continuum without needing to boot up my laptop and load MAX.

Sadly, this app only seems to work with a wired USB connection. Whenever attempting to use the WIDI Jack; this app gets stuck loading the Continuum’s presets and is unable to proceed with allowing me to interact with anything. Thus - this app is not entirely useless to me, but it is not what I was expecting and this leaves me with a less than ideal solution. The app has an option for Bluetooth MIDI connectivity, so I don’t believe that I’m using it in a manner which is inconsistent with how it was designed to function. I just wish that this will be fixed up one day.

Crashes both AUM and audiobus 3 in iOS 16 at least

Fun app and it has great sounds, but it does not work well with standard music creation software

FAQ

What kind of sounds can SpringSound create?

SpringSound creates sounds by simulating physical interactions like vibrations and collisions of masses connected by springs. This allows for unique sonic textures not easily achievable with other synthesis methods, expanding your sonic palette with a new world of physical sounds.

Does SpringSound have ads?

SpringSound does not contain advertisements, offering an uninterrupted user experience for creating and manipulating sound.

What devices is SpringSound compatible with?

SpringSound is available for iPhone, iPad, and iPod, making it accessible across a range of Apple mobile devices.

How often is SpringSound updated?

SpringSound is a paid application priced at $2.99 and does not offer a free trial period. Users can purchase it directly to access all its features.

What is the age rating for SpringSound?

SpringSound has an age rating of 4+, making it suitable for a wide range of users interested in music creation and sound design.

How does SpringSound compare to other synthesizers?

SpringSound excels in physical modeling synthesis, offering unique sound generation capabilities by simulating physical phenomena. This differentiates it from subtractive or FM synthesizers, providing access to distinct sonic domains.
