Krill Synthesizer vs Aether Learn

The GSi Krill Synthesizer was born from a design originally conceived to work as a mono synthesizer on an embedded processor (RP2040), then it was modified to be polyphonic for a more powerful processor (ARM H7) and finally we thought it would be perfect as a AUv3 for iPad, for those quick and dirty synth sounds you sometimes need without getting lost in endless parameter navigation and menu diving. So here it is, just one screen, one knob - one function, what you see is what you get. Two oscillators, one LFO, one low pass filter, two envelopes, stereo chorus, ping-pong delay, 64 presets. Have fun!

Aether Learn teaches you how sound and synthesizers actually work, one hands-on lesson at a time. No jargon, no prerequisites. Every concept comes with a real synth engine you play with your finger, so you hear the idea the moment you read it. Start from the very beginning: what sound is, how frequency becomes pitch, and why a wave's shape decides its character. Then build up through the tools real producers use every day. WHAT YOU LEARN - Sound and frequency: vibration, pitch, amplitude, and the difference between loudness you measure and loudness you hear - Waveforms and harmonics: watch a bright wave get built from pure sine waves, one at a time, until it forms a full saw - Subtractive synthesis: shape tone with a low-pass filter, resonance, and the classic filter sweep - Envelopes: attack, hold, decay, sustain, release, and delay, shaping how a note lives over time - Modulation: LFOs, vibrato, tremolo, and the rhythmic filter wobble at the heart of bass music HOW IT WORKS Each lesson has three steps. Learn the idea in plain language, watch a short demo that moves the controls for you, then play with a real, audio-reactive instrument built into the app. You see the waveform, the harmonics, the filter curve, and the envelope respond in real time as you turn the knobs. Built for curiosity. Whether you have never touched a synth or you want to finally understand the gear you already own, Aether Learn gets you from zero to making sounds you understand. Best suited for absolute beginners who want solid foundations to carry into any DAW or software synthesizer when they start producing music.
