About

HIT+MIX

Features
Read full description

Originally designed to enhance affordable electronic drum kits, this app bridges the gap by adding customizable samples and a powerful level mixer. Build your own kits using your own .WAV files and tailor the MIDI mapping to perfectly match your drum pads or triggers. You can even use it as a general sample player to trigger sound effects through a mixer. The app includes a starter library of classic kits—ROCK, POP, 606, 808, and 909—and makes it easy to create your own. Simply add folders of named samples via the iOS Files app or directly from your Mac or Windows computer. A customizable MIDIMAPPING.TXT file lets you assign specific MIDI note numbers to your samples, giving you total control over your setup. Both kits and mapping files are accessible through the iOS Files app or from a connected desktop. And with its ultra‑low latency, you’ll experience true real‑time responsiveness—perfect for live performance.

About

Synesthesia Synth

An experimental audio-visual instrument that allows users to sculpt evolving spatial audio by manipulating floating capsules. Position, rotation, and pulse changes affect tone, texture, and synchronized particle generation. It's a visual synthesizer, not a game.

Read full description

Synthaestesia is a free experimental audio-visual instrument. Three capsules float in space. Every contraction produces sound. Move them, rotate them, reshape their pulse — and sculpt evolving spatial audio. Position changes tone. Rotation alters texture. Delay generates synchronized particles. This is not a game. It’s a spatial synth you can see.
