FM Playground vs Prospero Audio

FM Playground is an educational app designed for learning and experimenting with FM synthesis (Frequency Modulation Synthesis). Developed as part of the "2025 Swift Sound - Creative Coding for Computer Musicians" project at MARTE Lab, Department of Multimedia, Dongguk University, by Yeonho Kim, Taejun Kim, Seoyul Son, and Sookyung Yoon, with guidance from Gwangyu Lee. The app features multiple interactive views where users can manipulate sound in real time using touch gestures and iPhone sensors (gyroscope, compass, etc.). Key Features: - What is FM Synthesis?: Learn the fundamentals of FM synthesis with an interactive view. Adjust sliders to hear real-time modulation effects and explore complex timbres. - Gesture-based control of timbre, frequency, and volume across various interactive views. - Open-source code available for study, experimentation, and expansion.

Three gestures. Infinite music. Prospero (thanks to Apple's Vision framework) tracks your hand position and maps it based on your selections. Three simple gestures give you complete expressive control. Use the built-in synth in Audio mode, or switch to MIDI mode and connect to GarageBand, AUM, Loopy Pro, or any CoreMIDI-compatible app or hardware synth. The only limitation is your creativity. Free features include: - Connect to any CoreMIDI app or external device - MIDI & Audio mode with built-in synth - Per-pitch aftertouch - VEL & MOD real-time controls - Reverb and echo Pro adds: - Up to 4 hands tracked simultaneously - Choose any scale and key - Built-in 4-waveform polyphonic synth - All chromatic, modal & pentatonic scales - Per-hand MIDI channel routing - Synth glide/portamento & attack/release envelope - More built-in audio effects like fuzz, tone, and more
