BLEASS Omega vs Midilo

If you think FM Synthesis is complicated, it’s time to think again! BLEASS Omega brings the sparkle, character and dynamic expressiveness of FM synthesis into an intuitive, hands-on instrument. Its four FM operators are edited simultaneously from a single screen, removing much of the complexity traditionally associated with FM synthesis. Eleven algorithms open up a wide sonic range, from electric pianos, deep basses and crystal-clear pads to sparkling bells and soulful leads. Beyond pure FM tones, an analogue-style waveshaper and multi-mode filter bring additional warmth, distortion, resonant sweeps and harmonic colour. All operator envelopes and controls remain immediately accessible, encouraging experimentation rather than programming by numbers, while MPE support adds another layer of expression for compatible workflows. Four built-in effects, Chorus, Tremolo, Delay and Reverb, add movement, depth and space directly within the synth. More than 200 professionally designed presets showcase Omega’s versatility and provide instant starting points for music production and sound design. BLEASS Omega can be used as a standalone app or AUv3 instrument on iPhone and iPad. It is also available for Windows and macOS.

Midilo is a MIDI-first live looper for musicians who want to shape patterns as they perform. Capture a phrase, keep it moving, and transform it while it plays. Slice a loop, pitch the active slice, change its timing and velocity, or add playheads that echo, reverse, delay, transpose, and send notes to different MIDI channels. Build ideas across loop slots, connect them in Graph mode, and combine MIDI with layered Audio Freeze recordings. When a variation feels right, record your performance into a new slot or use Bake to commit your edits and playheads to the current loop. Built for hardware synths, MIDI controllers, and live improvisation, Midilo turns small musical ideas into evolving performances. FEATURES - Live MIDI recording, looping, and overdubbing - Projects and loop slots for organizing and switching ideas - Graph mode for connecting loops into evolving sequences - Combined Slices and Pitch performance with shared Grid/Free, Reset, and Record controls - Record slicing and pitching together into a new loop slot - Chromatic and scale-based pitch tools, with Simple and Advanced performance layouts - Extra playheads with independent speed, direction, delay, pitch, MIDI channel, and level - Quantize, swing, timing and velocity humanize, velocity shaping, note-length, repeat, and tempo tools - Bake edits and extra playheads into the current loop, then reset the modifiers - Layer controls and trimming that preserve locked layers - Layered Audio Freeze and Stack, with individual mute, solo, level, and lock controls - Optional multichannel Freeze capture with compatible audio hardware - MIDI routing between devices and per-loop routing, with MPE support - Record complete performance mixes as stereo WAV files - Import and export MIDI files, and export Freeze stems in their native channel layouts - Swipeable Tools pages and customizable Quick Tools EARLY ACCESS All features are unlocked during Early Access, with no purchase needed.
