WAIL - Industrial Feedback Synthesiser, Drone and AUV3 FX Turn unstable feedback into a playable instrument. WAIL forces a self-resonating signal into submission, generating harsh drones, soaring screams, and aggressive textures that traditional synths refuse to touch. Built for zero menu-diving and pure performance, WAIL delivers raw, uncompromised noise control in a single intuitive screen. TAME THE NOISE: 4 Dynamic XY Pads: Instant tactile control over Feedback/Filter, Bite/Space, Ring/Fold, and Comb/Sub. Dedicated Performance Knobs: Master, Spread, Grind, and Tune, with dual-axis Coarse/Fine tuning designed for precise, subtle adjustments mid-performance. Real-Time Visuals: Built-in integrated oscilloscope displays waveform stability and feedback saturation as you play. Drone or MIDI Triggered: Play as an evolving drone, or connect a MIDI keyboard or sequencer. AUv3 FX: Load WAIL as an effect in your host and run any track through its feedback engine. Push a drum loop, a vocal, or a synth line into full self-resonating collapse, or layer WAIL's own drone on top of what you send in. Seamless AUv3 Integration: Full host transport sync, preset save/recall, and universal MIDI CC learn across all 12 parameters. Universal Support: Formatted natively for both iPad and iPhone as an AUv3 plugin or Standalone app. 12 parameters. 4 XY pads. One feedback loop trying to escape.
