3DSynth! A chromatic touch synthesizer and on-device recorder. Chromatic by design - 3DSynth lets you play all notes and frequencies continuously—not locked to MIDI steps—so you control pitch directly with your finger like a real instrument! Real-time, responsive play - Low latency and immediate feedback keep your phrasing natural and expressive while you glide and shape the note in motion. Shape your sound - Choose different instruments (oscillator, FM, plucked), sculpt with ADSR and add effects like reverb, modulation, delay, distortion, and EQ! Record on device - Capture your takes directly to the app’s local recordings folder for sharing and backup. **Important** Deleting the app removes its local data, including recordings and settings. Export anything you want to keep before uninstalling or resetting the device. Enjoy and thanks for downloading!

About

Synesthesia Synth

An experimental audio-visual instrument that allows users to sculpt evolving spatial audio by manipulating floating capsules. Position, rotation, and pulse changes affect tone, texture, and synchronized particle generation. It's a visual synthesizer, not a game.

Read full description

Synthaestesia is a free experimental audio-visual instrument. Three capsules float in space. Every contraction produces sound. Move them, rotate them, reshape their pulse — and sculpt evolving spatial audio. Position changes tone. Rotation alters texture. Delay generates synchronized particles. This is not a game. It’s a spatial synth you can see.
