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.

About

Waveguide Flute

Features
Read full description

Waveguide Flute turns your iPad or iPhone into a physically modeled wind instrument — a Cook/STK-style waveguide flute you play from an on-screen piano roll or a MIDI wind controller (EWI). FEATURES • Authentic waveguide physical modeling — not a sample library • Deep Sound page: shape jet ratio, reflection, loop damping, noise, and more • Expression controls for live performance: blow intensity, breathiness, pitch bend, auto-vibrato • Built-in reverb with 7 factory spaces • On-screen piano roll with velocity and breath control • Full MIDI support — notes, breath (CC#2), pitch bend • Compatible with Akai EWI and other MIDI wind controllers that send breath and pitch bend • Remembers your last settings, with one-tap reset to defaults • Bluetooth MIDI support, plus a configurable Breath Control input (Mod Wheel or custom CC) for keyboard players without a wind controller Play it like a real wind instrument: breathe into the sound, bend pitch, add vibrato — all rendered by a genuine physical model, not recordings.
