Shoom is an expressive XY pad synthesizer. Or, more precisely, three identical synthesizers in one app. It is capable of playing any pitch in the audible range and doesn’t necessarily limit you to a particular scale. Nevertheless, if you do want to use scales, Shoom can deliver anything from common 12-tone equal tempered to xenharmonic and microtonal.

"no humans were involved in the making of the title" broohahaizer is an experimental noise machine AUv3 effect and standalone app. it features: • two sound sources, "synth" and "modulator" with various noise & tone making settings. • the sound of these two sources is passed to the ring modulator and then goes to a switchable "filter" unit • the app works as an audio effect and the input goes to both “synth” and “modulator” sections • when modulator is inactive it passes audio input (if available) • all XY control pads have sustain switches • all plugin parameters can be automated in AUv3 host and can be controlled / recorded • [hold / loop] switch: enables gesture recording / playback / display
