Love it

Use it to create simple binaural tones and white noise to sleep. Also gives relief for tinnitus. Used it to test specific hearing loss frequencies. Truly useful free app.

Stopped working properly. Only noise comes out. Loved it originally.

Not working.

Exactly What I Needed

Back in the early 90’s… I use to use 100% hardware to DJ in our clubs. Fast forward to today and the entire landscape has changed. While we were concerned with beat matching, it was more of an Ear Game. Our one and only CD player collected dust before anyone would touch it. As I get deeper into DAWs, I’m not understanding all the terminology and what it means. This app has been an incredible help when it comes to the different structures. I can finally understand what I’m doing in this area.

Typical Kymatica!

Sounds great! Works great!

oscillator: simple & good tool

i like simplicity of oscillator & it does exactly what it says. trying to understand synth-like interaction of the (3) channels, oscillators A&B and 1 noise generator. only thing i would add is something about how 3 channels interact but that would complicate it. so oscillator excellent as-is.
