EG WaveSHAPER is the first synthesizer that lets you create your sound with a finger. Draw the waveform on the screen or shape a builtin one, mix it with a classic analog oscillator and a sub oscillator and automate all the knobs with 2 drawable LFOs and 2 ENVs HYBRID WAVESHAPING ENGINE 'Waveshaping is a synthesis-and-transformation technique that turns simple sounds into complex sounds' 2 wavetables can be designed and morphed to create unique and dynamic sounds under your finger, choosing the morph attack and release; complex spectra can be created waveshaping the oscillator and introducing non linear distortion, rich harmonics and a tube-vacuum behaviour. The hybrid Waveshaping/Wavetable engine lets you combine a wavetable oscillator with a classic oscillator and a sub oscillator, to add additional sound layers and depth. LFOs & ENVs 2 Lfo and 2 Envelopes with indipendent time can be assigned to virtually any of the synth parameters. They can also be graphically designed with the touch of your finger or you can choose among the builtin envelopes. OTHER FEATURES - Hybrid Wavetable/Waveshaping engine - Draw your wavetable oscillator with your finger - 100+ presets (Pad, Lead, Bass and Fx) - 30+ builtin waveforms to use and modify - 2 LFOs and 2 ENVs assignable to any parameter - FX: Reverb, Delay and EG Crush - Detune osc to create huge unison sounds - FM and Noise with configurble FM Ratio and Noise eq - VCF and Reso filters - Complete presets management with export and share - Core MIDI: MIDI in, MIDI CC, MIDI channel pressure control - AU3 with full knobs parameters automation - Universal for iPad & iPhone

Oscilloscope is a professional audio analysis app that transforms your iPhone or iPad into a comprehensive audio measurement system. Whether you are a sound engineer, musician, podcaster, or audio enthusiast, Oscilloscope provides the tools you need to visualize and analyze sound with precision. REAL-TIME OSCILLOSCOPE View up to 3 seconds of audio waveform history with crystal-clear visualization. Pause playback to examine specific moments, scroll horizontally to navigate through captured audio, and pinch to zoom for detailed inspection. Support for stereo, left-only, right-only, and mono summed display modes gives you complete control over your analysis. SPECTROGRAM ANALYSIS Visualize frequency content over time with a professional-grade spectrogram display. The app features a perceptually-accurate Bark frequency scale that mirrors how human hearing perceives sound, making it ideal for music mixing, room acoustics analysis, and identifying problematic frequencies. STEREO CORRELATION METER The XY display mode provides a Lissajous-style visualization of stereo phase correlation. Instantly identify phase issues, mono compatibility problems, and stereo width characteristics. The integrated correlation meter shows real-time phase relationship between left and right channels. FREQUENCY DETECTION Identify frequencies with precision using advanced pitch detection. The app displays detected frequency in Hz, the corresponding musical note name, MIDI note number, and cents deviation from perfect pitch. Perfect for tuning instruments, analyzing vocals, or identifying resonant frequencies. TRIGGER MODES Choose between level-based triggering with adjustable threshold for stable waveform display, or frequency-based triggering for pitch-locked visualization. Lookahead compensation ensures you never miss the transient you are looking for.
