Wave Sculptor is a powerful wavetable creation tool for musicians, sound designers, and synthesizer enthusiasts. Design unique wavetables from scratch by layering waveforms and adding expressive modulation, then export them for use in your favorite software and hardware synthesizers. BUILD YOUR SOUND Start with classic waveforms — sine, triangle, saw, square, and noise — and layer them to create complex, evolving timbres. Each layer can have its own frequency multiplier, gain, phase, and stereo panning. Combine up to create rich, harmonically interesting wavetables. EXPRESSIVE MODULATION Bring your wavetables to life with parameter modulation. Animate gain, phase, pulse width, or pan using any waveform shape. Choose whether modulation cycles within each step or sweeps across the entire wavetable for dramatic timbral evolution. REAL-TIME PREVIEW Hear your creations instantly. Preview the full wavetable sweep or focus on individual steps. The visual waveform display shows exactly what you're building, with layer overlays so you can see how each element contributes to the whole. PROFESSIONAL EXPORT Export your wavetables as standard WAV files compatible with virtually any wavetable synthesizer. Choose from 44.1kHz, 48kHz, or 96kHz sample rates. Share directly to other apps or save to your preferred location. SEAMLESS SYNC Your wavetables automatically sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac via iCloud. Start a design on your iPhone during your commute, refine it on your Mac in the studio, and your work is always up to date. FEATURES • Layer multiple waveforms: sine, triangle, saw, square, noise • Per-layer controls: gain, phase, pulse width, pan, frequency multiplier • Parameter modulation with customizable waveform, amount, and phase • Per-step or across-wavetable modulation modes • Mono and stereo wavetable support • Real-time audio preview • Visual waveform display with step navigation • Export to WAV at 44.1kHz, 48kHz, or 96kHz • iCloud sync across all devices • Native iPhone, iPad, and Mac experience Whether you're crafting evolving pads, aggressive leads, or experimental textures, Wave Sculptor gives you the tools to create wavetables that are uniquely yours.
Loop Recording

Loop Recording is a simple rolling audio recorder for musicians, practice sessions, rehearsals, interviews, and any moment you might want to hear again. Open the app and it continuously keeps recent microphone audio in a loop buffer. When something worth saving happens, scrub back through the live waveform, replay the moment, then export the audio as a WAV file.
