Uber Synth is a polyphonic multi-timbral frequency modulated (FM) synthesizer that runs on any iOS device. The underlying sound engine is based on the triple-oscillator cross-modulated FM synthesizer first introduced in our xMod app. Uber Synth provides five multi-timbral options: 1) Mix the sounds of any two sound patches, 2) combine patches using the sound map, 3) Generate specified as well as randomized sound palettes across the keyboard, 4) Specify a region in sound space centered on a sound and move a point by a variable randomized amount within the region each time you play a note to create an evolving mix of the center sound and the sound nearest the point. 5) Do the same as above moving the point automatically at a specified rate. Supports Audiobus.

About

WEAR Texture Processor

This audio effect plugin introduces filtered, warbled movement and texture to any sound source. It's designed for creating instability, movement, and degradation, transforming audio from subtle to extreme.

Highlights
  • AUv3 texture processor
  • Pitch modulation (RATE and DEPTH)
  • Dynamic gating (GATE)
  • Frequency filtering (FILTER)
  • Texture and degradation effects (GRIME, WASH, ROOM)
  • Adjustable by ear for unique sound design
Read full description

WEAR is an AUv3 texture processor designed for making audio feel uncertain. WEAR makes no sound on its own—it is an audio effect designed to be loaded inside a compatible AUv3 host. Place it after pianos, guitars, vocals, drums, synthesizers, field recordings, or other audio sources to introduce filtered, warbled movement and texture. Built around instability, movement, and degradation, WEAR reshapes incoming audio through a collection of processes designed to add character. RATE and DEPTH introduce pitch modulation. GATE responds dynamically to the incoming signal, allowing quieter material to become increasingly unstable while louder sounds push through. FILTER reshapes the frequency range, while GRIME, WASH, and ROOM introduce different forms of texture, space, and degradation. The result can range from subtle movement to extreme transformation depending on what you dial in. WEAR intentionally includes no presets. Its behavior depends heavily on the material being passed through it, so it is designed to be adjusted by ear for each sound rather than treated as a collection of fixed effects. Exploration is encouraged.
