About

Modsync

Features
Read full description

Make your modulations groove with your music. When your LFO rate matches your track's tempo, modulations rise and fall naturally with the beat. This creates tighter, more musical movement where the modulation enhances the rhythm instead of fighting it. Modsync calculates LFO frequencies in Hz instantly based on your BPM and note division. Just copy the values into your synth or plugin. FEATURES - Instant tempo-synced LFO calculations - 6 rhythmic divisions from whole notes to 1/32 - Straight, dotted, and triplet variations - One-tap copy to clipboard - Beautiful, minimalist interface - Haptic feedback - Works completely offline PRO TIP With iCloud Universal Clipboard enabled, tap any value on your iPhone and paste it directly into your synth or DAW on Mac. No typing required. Perfect for music producers, sound designers, and synth enthusiasts who want their modulations to feel musical, not random. Made with love by AKER.

ArchersPlayer is a lightweight audio file player built as an AUv3 Generator plugin. Load it into your favorite AUv3 host — like AUM, ApeMatrix, or Audiobus — and use it as a sound source alongside your other instruments and effects. Build a playlist from individual files or entire folders. Tracks play sequentially from top to bottom, and you can reorder them with a long-press drag, shuffle the list, or tap any track to jump straight to it. A seekable playback slider lets you scrub to any point in the current track. Need a pause between tracks? Enable the configurable track delay to insert a random gap (2–10 seconds) before the next track starts. Great for DJ/radio, live performance, rehearsal playback, or backing tracks that need breathing room. FEATURES • AUv3 Generator plugin — works inside any compatible host app • Load audio files individually or by folder • Supports MP3, WAV, AIFF, M4A, CAF, FLAC, and AAC • Sequential playback with shuffle, skip, and previous controls • Tap any track to play it immediately • Drag to reorder your playlist • Swipe left to delete individual tracks • Swipe right to lock a track's position in place (won't be affected by shuffle) • Seekable playback slider with elapsed and total time display • Configurable random delay between tracks (2–10 seconds) • Automatic sample rate conversion to match the host • Security-scoped bookmarks for persistent file access • Save/Load multiple playlists • Trigger playback controls, tracks, and playlist w/ MIDI • Set custom start/end times per Track to only play a region of the audio file • Warp playback pitch and speed in real time, or lock the control to only do one or the other • Designed for iPhone and iPad
