Jaw Harp Synth is the first physics-based jaw harp synthesizer for iPhone. Create authentic khomus and kubyz sounds, build beats with the drum sampler, and bring your music to life with AI-powered pattern generation. AUTHENTIC JAW HARP SYNTHESIS • Physics-based sound engine modeled on real Yakutian kubyz acoustics • Morph between 5 vowels (А, Э, И, О, У) in real time using the XY pad • Three-band formant filter for authentic jaw harp timbre • Velocity-sensitive pluck dynamics — from soft to percussive • Outward and inward articulation styles • 5 cavity resonance modes based on Yakutian playing tradition DRUM SAMPLER & BEAT MAKER • 9 pads (3×3 grid) for finger drumming • Import WAV, CAF, or SFZ samples • Record new samples directly from your microphone • Real-time waveform trimming editor • Velocity-sensitive touch pressure control 16-STEP SEQUENCER • Program beats step by step or record in real time • Adjustable tempo (60–160 BPM) • Loop length control • Sub-10ms latency for tight, responsive playback NEURAL PATTERN GENERATION • AI-powered beat creation using DAG-based pulse propagation • Generate patterns intelligently based on tempo and style • Smooth morphing between pattern variations PROFESSIONAL AUDIO ENGINE • 48 kHz / 32-bit float audio • 64-voice polyphonic sampler • Built on AudioKit • Effects: reverb, stereo delay, master limiter VISUALIZATION • Real-time FFT spectrum analyzer • Metal-powered retrowave audio-reactive visualizer • Waveform display for sample editing Whether you're a beat maker, a jaw harp player, or an electronic music explorer — Jaw Harp Synth bridges ancient acoustic tradition with modern digital production.

EduSynth is an educational synthesizer for iOS and macOS that teaches you the fundamentals of subtractive synthesis — by letting you play one. Built around a real-time C++ DSP engine modeled after the classic Moog architecture, EduSynth gives you three oscillators, a 24dB/octave ladder filter, dual ADSR envelopes, an LFO, and a mixer — all with a clean, intuitive interface designed for learning. PLAY & EXPLORE • Three oscillators with saw, square, triangle, and sine waveforms • Classic Moog ladder low-pass filter with resonance and self-oscillation • Separate filter and amplitude ADSR envelopes • LFO with multiple shapes and modulation targets (pitch, filter, amplitude, PWM) • Portamento with off, on, and legato modes • 10+ factory presets to get you started instantly LEARN AS YOU GO • Built-in Learn window with chapters covering signal flow, oscillators, filters, envelopes, LFO, and more • Interactive info popovers on every section explaining what each knob does • Visual signal flow strip showing how sound moves through the synth • Chapters on digital audio fundamentals and real-time audio programming CONNECT & PERFORM • Full MIDI support — connect any MIDI controller • MIDI settings window with per-device enable/disable and live activity monitor • Computer keyboard input — play notes without any hardware • Autoplay mode with selectable demo melodies DESIGNED FOR LEARNING EduSynth is perfect for music production students, audio programming enthusiasts, sound design beginners, and anyone curious about how synthesizers actually work. Every parameter is explained in plain language, and the Learn window goes deeper into the theory and code behind the sound. Available in English and Italian.
