## What is ThermoSynth?

Welcome to the politics of sound !  
ThermoSynth is a self regulating hyper oscillator engine inspired by thermodynamic systems. ThermoSynth extends the classical oscillator concept, it is a generative synthesizer at the waveform level, which does not express only static / interference waveforms but also an evolution of a sonic structure by internal communication and its actions inside certain controllable margins. 

The oscillator of ThermoSynth establishes its own engine environment and begin its signal path with a waveform generator ( pure mathematical, not samples nor optimized tables ) rendering basic waveforms and capable of morphing in between. The 4 oscillators of the Thermo are in continuous interaction sending each other their signals thanks to a 4X4 feedback matrix. 

Many type of changes in this system are introduced by the stochastic modulators which sonicLAB is known for and also by the user through some perturbations called the injections into the system. Each oscillator engine continuously checks its environment conditions and takes decisions, “self regulates”, in reaction to these changes applied.

The result is unique never ending and never repeating drone synthesis, pure organic textures for electronic music; and hours can easily pass with experimenting on ThermoSynth.

ThermoSynth is identical to the desktop sonicLAB Thermo version. 

For external control, it comes with MPE support and sonicLAB high resolution rotary encoder midi mapping feature as on the desktop version.

### 5/5 — Beware , its Addictive!

*2025-01-12*

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 .

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2022-08-14, version 1.1*

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

### 3/5 — great sounds awful ui

*2022-07-19, version 1.1*

complete ui overhaul for touch screen user please(?)

### 3/5 — Great sound but fiddly

*2022-04-20, version 1.0*

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.

## Frequently asked questions about ThermoSynth

### 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.
