What's New in WAIL

1.1

September 11, 2026

What's New in Version 1.1: WAIL now runs as an AUv3 effect. Load it into your host and push any track through the feedback engine and affect it with WAILs 12 brutal parameters, or layer WAIL's own drone on top of what you send in. WAIL through WAIL if you like. Limitations - For now there is no balance dial to mix any internal signal in when the drone is activated, however there is a MIX in the parameter tree that can be assigned to an external control for now. Alternatively, a gain control added before the WAIL instance can help control it. Look for this to be added alongside other controls and features in the next big update. Other features in this update: Fixes trackpad / mouse issue (hopefully) Fixes midi-out recording in Logic Fixes some gain control, pads are slightly kinder on gain levels Thanks to everyone who tested this build and sent feedback. Keep it coming.

Hey thanks for the review, glad you're liking it! Feel free to send any suggestions or feedback to noidedmedia@gmail.com

So much more than just a noise toy

Awesome, tortured industrial noise machine. Incredible sounds. Automating the exposed parameters in your DAW is endless fun, adding a trance gate etc makes easy psytrance top lines or dirt for bass lines etc. loads of possibilities. Love it.

Thanks for your kind review, glad you're enjoying WAIL.

Wail of a time

Something very different than the norm and all the better for it !
Some unique sounds, midi in and automatable parameters provide great flexibility.
Great for drones, industrial sounds or sheer mayhem.
All that and it’s hand crafted in Rochdale.

Response from developer

Appreciate you taking the time to leave some nice words about WAIL, glad you're enjoying it.

This is awesome!

After watching Jade Starr do a video showing how this app works and the incredible depth of sounds that you can create it was a must have. You can use this in a subtle way to add texture to your sounds or go full throttle with it and create a doomsday apocalypse. Great app for sound designers and anyone wanting to bring something extra to their sound.

Wail review

Sounds amazing but doesn’t record midi data in real time with the xy pads which is a shame , in Logic Pro

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for the feedback. This is an oversight from the first build and will be fixed in the next update. Look out for the next version and retest. Please reconsider your rating if all working fine again. Feel free to send any future feedback or bugs to noidedmedia@gmail.com. Thanks, Ant.
