amoenus externus transforms your headphone listening into a natural speaker experience. Using a carefully tuned arrangement of 9 ultra-short delays, it recreates the acoustic perception of a classic stereo speaker triangle — placing the sound naturally in front of you, slightly outside your head, rather than inside it. No artificial reverb. No coloration. Just a more natural, fatigue-free headphone sound. Compatible with foobar2000 (v2.25+), AUM, GarageBand, and all AUv3-compatible hosts on iOS.

This is the AUv3 version — everything in the free Waveguide Flute app, plus the Waveguide Flute AUv3 instrument plug-in you can load in GarageBand, AUM, Logic, or any AUv3 host to play the same physical model inside your own projects. Waveguide Flute turns your iPad or iPhone into a physically modeled wind instrument — a Cook/STK-style waveguide flute you play from an on-screen piano roll or a MIDI wind controller (EWI). FEATURES • Authentic waveguide physical modeling — not a sample library • Waveguide Flute AUv3 instrument plug-in for GarageBand, AUM, Logic, and other AUv3 hosts • Deep Sound page: shape jet ratio, reflection, loop damping, noise, and more • Expression controls for live performance: blow intensity, breathiness, pitch bend, auto-vibrato • Built-in reverb with 7 factory spaces • On-screen piano roll with velocity and breath control • Full MIDI support — notes, breath (CC#2), pitch bend • Compatible with Akai EWI and other MIDI wind controllers that send breath and pitch bend • Remembers your last settings, with one-tap reset to defaults • Bluetooth MIDI support, plus a configurable Breath Control input (Mod Wheel or custom CC) for keyboard players without a wind controller Play it like a real wind instrument: breathe into the sound, bend pitch, add vibrato — all rendered by a genuine physical model, not recordings.
