SynthStamp vs Kombinat4

The Vintage Synth Playground You Can Take Anywhere SynthStamp is a celebration of the history of electronic music, featuring fully modeled engines and familiar user interfaces behind some of the most desirable synthesizers. Tap and drag to patch, save your patch as a preset, and export presets to share across all of your devices including Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Yes that's right, iPhone. Take your sound anywhere. --- Stereo audio input for realtime effects processing Model based on the ARP 2600--finally on mobile Circuit-bendable model based on the SK-1--we haven't seen one either --- Choose Your Adventure 5001 Analog Synthesizer: dynamically patchable, semi-modular, monophonic analog synthesizer from the late '70s, with stereo preamplifier. A real idea factory, from classic analog synth leads to creative sound design, this synth is a tool for exploration and experimentation. You'll truly fall in love with the snappy, milky quality of the voltage-controlled filter. B500 Sampling Keyboard: circuit-bendable ROMpler from the mid '80s, with 4-voice polyphony, multi-channel note memory, and stereo sampler. Bend, sample, and compose melodies with this portable gem. Combine with continuous live sampling to create sounds that simply shouldn't exist. Flexibly Configurable, Infinitely Creative SynthStamp can be run as a standalone application or as an Audio Unit (AUv3) plugin inside supported DAWs, either as an Instrument with mono side chain input, or as a Music Effect on stereo/mono audio tracks for realtime processing, with full MIDI support. Presets can be imported and exported for easy sharing across devices, while on the same device, presets are stored in a common location across standalone and Audio Unit installations for shared access.

KOMBINAT4 is Audio Damage's fourth-generation flagship distortion. Take any sound, split it into up to eight frequency bands, and assign one of 38 distortion engines to each band. Or flip to Serial mode and chain those eight engines end-to-end for stacked, cascading mayhem. THIRTY-EIGHT DISTORTION ENGINES The complete roster from Kombinat Tri returns: Fuzz, Saturate, Distort, Clip, Warp, Degrade, Ring Mod, X Noise, Octaver, Wavy, Rectify, Tube Clip, and the famously unhinged Nerd Rage. Joining them is the entire engine set from our Grind distortion: Tanh, Asym Tanh, Overdrive, Polynomial, Linear Distort, Sine Drive, Var Hard Clip, Gloubi Boulga, MXR, Soft Clip, and Cubic NLD. Plus thirteen brand-new algorithms built specifically for Kombinat4: Wavefold, Chebyshev, Bitwise, Slew Limit, Comparator, Diode Clip, Feedback FM, Fractal, Dropout, Shapeshift, Phase Distortion, Stutter, and Erosion. Every engine has up to three custom-labeled controls plus per-band gain and solo. Pick a different engine for each band and design distortion tones that simply weren't available before. EIGHT BANDS, TWO MODES In Multiband mode, the input is split by Linkwitz-Riley crossovers into up to eight parallel bands. Each band gets its own engine and gain stage, and everything recombines at the output. Drop to two bands for classic low/high splits, push to eight for full-spectrum surgical distortion design, and solo any band to dial it in cleanly. In Serial mode, those same eight slots become a chain — every engine processes the full-bandwidth signal in turn, for layered drive structures impossible to achieve with a single algorithm. OUTPUT SECTION A dedicated output filter with twelve types: 2-pole and 4-pole low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass shapes, a notch, three OTA-style filters, a 914-style ladder bandpass, our Filterpod, and bypass. Built-in Rough Rider compressor at the output with sidechain HPF and external sidechain input. Global feedback path with attack and decay envelope for self-oscillating screams and slow-blooming sustain. Optional AGC for level-matched A/B comparisons across heavy distortion settings. DC blocker. 2x and 4x oversampling for clean high-frequency content. PRESETS AND WORKFLOW Factory preset library covering subtle saturation, mix-bus enhancement, mid-range fattening, lead guitar tones, low-end mangling, full-on industrial destruction, and everything in between. Folder-based user preset browser with favorites and import/export of single presets or full folders as ZIP. XML preset compatibility with the desktop edition — your iOS presets work in your DAW and vice versa. AUv3 plugin for iOS hosts including GarageBand, Logic Pro for iPad, AUM, Cubasis, Loopy Pro, Audiobus, drambo, BeatMaker 3, and others. Standalone app included. Tooltips on every control. Animated band display with realtime spectrum overlay. No DRM, no account, no online activation.
