About

This app is a generative synthesizer that creates evolving sonic structures inspired by thermodynamic systems. It features a self-regulating hyper oscillator engine with a feedback matrix and stochastic modulators for unique, never-repeating drone synthesis and organic textures.

A pitch glider feature between tune scaled oscillator frequencies has been added. The glide speed can be adjusted.

User reviews

Beware , its Addictive!

This app has been one of those apps where i feel like a mad scientist as i tweak those settings to coax some unearthly sounds which i can only describe as alien , industrial , glitchy and everything in between , it definitely benefits and asks to be experimented with and the learning curve is relatively easy . To get the best out of it i would recommend a very good set of speakers or headphones ( make sure to keep the gain controls in check as it can get quite earful) , encoder rotary midi controller , larger screen and a reverb or multi fx .

Awesome

Fantastic software, the interface is small BUT totally functional. Using an external controller such as a rotary device, really mitigates any issues on the UI front

great sounds awful ui

complete ui overhaul for touch screen user please(?)

Great sound but fiddly

Soniclab apps are pretty much instabuy for experimental software audio, but there’s once again a massive opportunity lost on iOS by simply replicating the exact same UI as used on desktop. It’s just too awkward and small to fluently move sliders and tap matrices, even on a 12.9 inch iPad Pro screen.
Even a very basic redesign could help this massively. (Just make the sliders a tiny bit bigger!).

Still, it sounds good at least.

FAQ

What is ThermoSynth?

ThermoSynth is a self-regulating hyper oscillator engine that creates evolving sonic structures. It's a generative synthesizer at the waveform level, producing unique drone synthesis and organic textures for electronic music.

How does ThermoSynth generate its sounds?

ThermoSynth uses a waveform generator and a 4x4 feedback matrix where four oscillators interact by sending signals to each other. Stochastic modulators and user-injected perturbations also influence the sonic evolution.

Is ThermoSynth suitable for live performance?

Yes, ThermoSynth supports MPE and has a high-resolution rotary encoder MIDI mapping feature, making it suitable for external control and live performance applications.

What devices does ThermoSynth support?

ThermoSynth is currently supported on iPad devices. It offers the same functionality as the desktop sonicLAB Thermo version.

How often is ThermoSynth updated?

ThermoSynth was last updated on September 1, 2022, to version 1.2. The app was initially released on April 18, 2022.

What is the age rating for ThermoSynth?

ThermoSynth has an age rating of 4+, indicating it is suitable for users of all ages.

Does ThermoSynth have ads?

No, ThermoSynth does not contain advertisements. It is a paid application with no in-app purchases or ads.

Where can I find more information about ThermoSynth?
