EduSynth vs S

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.

s-2 is a polyphonic synthesizer designed to work with the Roland AIRA Compact S-1. ENGINE Each voice runs two parallel engine slots that mix together. Pick a sound flavor per slot, including: • Classic analog — saw, square, sub, noise, pulse-width • Wavetable • FM • Speech • Chord • Plucked string FILTER AND FX Classic mode runs a vintage-style ladder filter into a simple Delay → Chorus → Reverb chain. Modern mode swaps in a multi-mode SVF (LP / BP / HP) followed by a 3-slot Advanced FX rack with Bitcrusher, Drive, Flanger, Phaser, Auto-Filter, Tape Delay, Plate Reverb and Chorus. MODULATION Two free-routing LFOs (sine / triangle / saw / square / random / noise, with optional clock-sync), a dedicated filter envelope with two destination slots, and a unified mod matrix dialog that visualizes every routing in one place. Click any knob in Learn mode to assign — no digging through menus. FORMATS • Standalone for iOS • Audio Unit (AU) for Logic Pro and other AU hosts • AUv3 plugin for iPad / iPhone in AUM, GarageBand, Cubasis and more - s-2 is an independent third-party application.
