Your Fingertips Create New Sounds OscDrax is an innovative iOS waveform synthesizer that enables professional sound design through intuitive touch controls. Simply draw waveforms with your finger to instantly create original tones. Combine four independent tracks to build complex, rich soundscapes. Unleash Creativity with the Waveform Editor Our waveform drawing system maximizes the potential of touchscreen technology. With 512-point high resolution, accurately reproduce any waveform you imagine. Classic waveforms like sine, triangle, square, and sawtooth are also available at a single tap. Designed for everyone from beginners to professionals. 4-Track Multi-Timbral Synthesis Each track operates completely independently with its own waveform, frequency, and volume settings. Layer multiple tracks simultaneously to create thick, complex tones impossible with a single oscillator. Professional Controls Frequency Adjustment (20Hz-20kHz) Full coverage of human hearing range. Logarithmic scale slider provides musically natural control from bass to treble. Portamento Function (0-1000ms) Smooth glide effect between pitches. Faithfully reproduces the warm expression of analog synthesizers. Individual Volume Control Fine-tune each track's volume from 0-100%. Achieve ideal balance with precision mixing.
Aethron

Aethron is a minimal oscillator instrument for observing sound as waveform. Rather than a full music production app, Aethron is designed as a small sonic device for touching, layering, and reshaping oscillating sound. Add oscillators, tune frequency and amplitude, switch waveforms, invert polarity, sync phases, randomize signal states, and store the sounds you discover. Features * Multiple oscillators * SINE / SAW / TRI / SQR waveforms * Frequency and amplitude control * Fine frequency adjustment * SUM / SPLIT waveform display * RANDOM signal generation * POL +/- polarity inversion * SYNC phase reset * SOLO monitoring * STATES / STORE for saving setups * Automatic restoration of the last oscillator state Aethron is not a conventional synthesizer or a waveform viewer. It is a small instrument for touching invisible vibration through sound and waveform.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Aethron at Free against OscDrax's $0.49. OscDrax's advantage is iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.5). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
